Bistro 90

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

The Grand Strand's Only All-Prime Steakhouse

Bistro 90 sits just off Highway 90 in Longs, South Carolina, a short drive from North Myrtle Beach, and has earned a reputation as the standard-bearer for fine dining along the Grand Strand. The premise is focused and uncompromising: USDA Prime beef only, every boneless steak hand-cut to order from dry-aged stock, making Bistro 90 the only all-prime steak restaurant in the area to do so. Beef at that grade represents less than 3% of all graded beef in the country — a fact that sets the tone for everything else on the menu.

Italian Roots, Local Ingredients

Alongside its steakhouse identity, Bistro 90 serves homemade Italian cuisine that has drawn loyal guests for years. Dishes like lasagna, Osso Buco, Shrimp Scampi, and veal appear in guest accounts again and again, praised with the kind of consistency that only comes from a kitchen that takes the craft seriously. Owner Roland Sciotto is a visible presence throughout the evening, checking on tables personally — a detail guests mention as much as the food itself.

The kitchen sources produce from certified local growers in South Carolina and North Carolina, including Worley Lane Farms, Prince Farms, Holden Brothers Farms, and others. Seafood is delivered daily from certified waters, keeping the menu grounded in what's fresh and seasonal.

The Bar and the Wine List

The bar program matches the kitchen's ambition. Bistro 90 carries over 40 single malt scotches, a serious bourbon selection described as the best on the Grand Strand, hand-crafted cocktails, and a rotating craft beer selection. The wine list — deep, international, and built for pairing — earned the restaurant Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence, a recognition the restaurant has held across multiple years. Knowledgeable staff guide guests through pairings, and the list is broad enough to complement both a dry-aged ribeye and a plate of housemade pasta equally well.

Atmosphere and Private Dining

The dress code — resort casual, no ripped clothing or beach coverups — signals the tone: relaxed enough for a vacation dinner, polished enough to feel like an occasion. Past guests have compared the atmosphere to the best restaurants in Manhattan, in part because of live musical performances that have graced the dining room over the years. A private room is available for milestone celebrations, business gatherings, and events requiring a dedicated, elegant space. Bistro 90 has also catered off-site events for large groups, bringing the same level of food and service outside its walls.

For anyone visiting the Myrtle Beach area who wants Italian cuisine and prime steaks taken seriously, Bistro 90 is the consistent answer.
