We were looking for great food on the water and this place came up in a Google search and was reviewed well. So, we took the drive and we were NOT disappointed. The restaurant is inside a marina neighborhood, but there is a nice sized parking lot. There are plenty of signs telling you where to go, which is up the first level of steps, inside the main door, then up the second flight of steps inside. There is an elevator, as well.
They have a nice sized dining room with lots of window seating overlooking the marina and water. The young lady serving us was so very nice and attentive. The strawberry salad was absolutely scrumptious. Too many places use Bleu cheese on the strawberry salad, but they use goat cheese...my favorite! (And great for cow milk allergies). The steak sandwich was overflowing and the pork BBQ sandwich was perfectly moist and tasty. Their fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The sweet tea was fresh brewed.
9.5/10 experience! Highly recommend!!
Excellent meal with an excellent view.
We made reservations on Thursday, for Friday at 6:30, a party for 5. If you want to get in during high traffic times, definitely call 24-hours ahead. We were seated within 15-minutes of our arrival, in the dining room with a lovely view of the harbor. We noticed most tables had a nice view due to the very open floor plan concept.
Our server was lovely: attentive, helpful and pleasant. She patiently answered questions and returned often to check on us, making sure our water glasses were full. It’s the little touch’s that make a wonderful dining experience.
We began our meal sharing the calamari. Really well prepared and quite flavorful. So enjoyed the little peppers and aioli drizzle. Very flavorful.
Everyone in our party of 5 was quite pleased with their meals. Our 10-year old granddaughter loved the fries and chose an appetizer chicken wings for her entree. The portion was quite large and tasty. Beware, the dipping sauce ranch has a kick, which she didn’t prefer but we enjoyed.
My husband and I shared the grand slam seafood trio. Each seafood item was perfectly prepared. With fries and coleslaw, it was more than we could finish. He added a side salad which was very fresh and I had creamy clam chowder (good but not as hot as ai prefer.)
Our daughter and friend raved about their fried fish and pork chop diners.
4/5 of us took home leftovers.
The view…. So relaxing and peaceful.
Our bill came to $188 (without any drinks.). The tab was worth it for a complete fine dining experience (with no need to dress to the nines; it’s the beach after all).
Hands down, the best restaurant in the Outer Banks! Excellent chefs serving seasonal dishes. The menu rotates quite regularly. You cannot beat the views. From the ambiance down to the wait staff, this restaurant is top knotch! Give these folks their Michellin star already! Let these photos speak for themselves.
Beautiful atmosphere!!The mussels and tuna poke apps are DELICIOUS!!! They advertised sea scallop salad special but without any mention served my salad with tilefish. Waitress said we are out of scallops but I was not given a choice to pick an alternate protein. Busy busy place - live music outside
We came around 4:30 on a Wednesday, and it was really busy by 5. Although reservations aren't required, they are recommended in the summer. Our meals were great and the oyster shooter was huge. The staff was really friendly too. If we were staying longer, I'd come back.
