WOW! Full disclosure: we are very fussy reviewers, being avid cooks, self-confessed foodies and travelers. While escaping New York state's winter by spending some time in Myrtle Beach, we happened upon this delightful cafe' today during a side trip to Conway Riverwalk. After our walk we stopped for some lunch, and found a gem! Our experience is that many efforts to create delicious food often suffer from "trying too hard", resulting in an overwrought dish. Our lunch choices were blessed by quality ingredients and preparation that is obviously very knowledgeable & experienced. The results were composed dishes that let each element sing. We had the smoked duck breast salad (tender slices of breast over a bowl of mixed greens tossed lightly in a vinaigrette & topped with goat cheese crostini) and the vegetariano (roasted red peppers and eggplant topped w/melted cheese & arugula pesto served on focaccia) accompanied by a bowl of mixed greens. Both dishes were absolutely wonderful - clearly this establishment cares a great deal about the food that is put before you. Accompanied by a glass of wine, and then followed up by a dish of gelato (imported from Italy folks!), this was a stupendous lunch. We found the staff very helpful and considerate, and the cafe' well stocked with a great selection of cheeses, charcuterie, associated provisions and of course that gelato!!! Conway is VERY fortunate to have this dining option - if only we lived 780 miles closer!!! Wishing CC&P much continued...

The menu included a wide variety of food choices, including sandwiches, salads, pizza pie, stuffed peppers, pasta, and gelato. A wonderful selection of wine and many choices of Charleston IPA beers for the non-wine drinkers. The atmosphere was quaint and cozy. After seeing table after table being brought their French Onion Soup, I had to order one. Not only was it mouth-watering and delicious, but it did not disappoint in having the right amount of onions, bread, and cheese torched on top. Conveniently located near all of the shops and boutiques, it's truly a...
Read moreWe had the butcher charcuterie board. It was a great assortment of meats and the bread it was served with was fantastic. My husband had the margarita pizza and loved it. Two large slices of pizza with a small spring salad. I had the the tagiloni with bolegnase. This is one of the chefs specialties apparently. It was so good. Oh did I mention the wine.. Great selection of wines and beer. Also Gelato. I think we may go back in just for that alone! Reservations are required to ensure you get the best service and can take your time to enjoy...
