An Evening Beyond the Ordinary: Inside The Tasting Menu Series at The Tasting Room on 9th

In a coastal city known for casual charm and beachside comfort, something quietly exquisite is unfolding just off the main strip in downtown Myrtle Beach. It’s called The Tasting Menu Series, and it is—without hyperbole—the most refined and exclusive culinary experience in the region.

Hosted only once a month at The Tasting Room on 9th, this is not dinner. This is a destination, a ritual, and a celebration of taste designed for those who understand that luxury isn’t loud—it’s curated.

From the moment guests step through the door, they are enveloped in ambiance: flickering candlelight, hushed tones of carefully selected music, a table set with precision and intention. The air carries the faintest scent of smoked citrus, truffle, and aged wine.

Every detail echoes exclusivity, craftsmanship, heritage, and elevated emotion. This is the kind of event that doesn’t simply happen—it is orchestrated.

And with only one seating each month, the Tasting Menu Series becomes a coveted seat at the table of culinary privilege.

Helmed by Michelin-experienced Chef Robert Kaufman, each tasting menu is a singular creation—a symphony composed of five courses featuring seasonal ingredients. From the amuse-bouche to the final course, each bite is more than flavor—it’s a story. Earth, smoke, acid, and silk all converge with reverence and restraint. No substitutions. No shortcuts. Just immaculate execution at the highest level.

Curated by WSET-trained level 3 sommelier, Lisa Lee, the wine pairings are as intentional and indulgent as the cuisine. Emerging vineyards, and legacy European producers are chosen not just to complement the food—but to elevate it to transcendence.

Expect combinations that challenge the palate and reward curiosity:

The rarity of the series—only 12 seats, only once a month—is not a marketing tactic. It is an intentional homage to the luxury of time, scarcity, and attention.

Just as you’d find at a trunk show at Dior, the guest is not a customer here. They are a participant in something ephemeral, beautiful, and utterly unforgettable.

To attend is to secure a seat at Myrtle Beach’s most coveted dining experience. It is the quiet kind of luxury that doesn’t shout. It whispers—inviting only those who truly understand.

If you believe that food is memory, that wine is narrative, and that luxury lives in intention, then The Tasting Menu Series at The Tasting Room on 9th is calling.

But only if you're listening.

Reservations are now open for the next series. Few will attend. Fewer still will ever forget.
