Poke appetizer was delicious, fried shrimp, onion rings and fries were great. Pork loin was a little overcooked but delicious. Hot wings were different but not good different. Bartender made great cocktails and was really attentive. Service was very good.

Food here is absolutely amazing. Blackened scallops are to die for as well as the coconut shrimp. The mashed potatoes and onion rings are so amazingly good. Mozzerella chicken is always a favorite as well. Believe it or not their red sauce is very very good ! Our server Mandi Fantastic and very personable and took great care of us! We are always stopping here when we were in town! Great sunsets too!!

It's been a few years since we have eaten here, but it was just as good as it always was. Had the yellowfin tuna and it was perfection. Always a favorite when we are at OBX.

Beautiful setting on the sound! Amazing service! Our server knew what we needed before we asked! My husband enjoyed the filet minon cooked to perfection! My son enjoyed the stuffed shrimp with lump crab. My daughter and other son had the vodka pasta while had the chicken mozzarella. Both sauces had separated from the pasta and seemed watered down. My chicken was soggy not crunchy. The foods presentation was beautiful but just not what we had in mind. Still enjoyed our time there and next time we'll try something different on the menu! Would definitely recommend!

Service was good, atmosphere was good. It's a seafood place we get that. The blackened tuna was good. The Alfredo sauce for the chicken was runny, wasn't reduced down enough to be called sauce.

We come here every year and the food and service never fails to disappoint. The coconut shrimp are a must-have, and the crab cakes are to die for. They have excellent pasta dishes, and the crab stuffed shrimp entree is incredible. They aren’t cheap, but the prices reflect the quality of the food and the portion sizes. Can’t wait to come back next year!

8/26/2024 - Had to wait for a table(for 2), so we sat at the bar to wait. The man behind the bar saw we were waiting for a table so was in no hurry to serve us. We were contemplating what cocktail we would like to get and when he finally came over we started with just waters until we decided. He served everyone around us refills on their drinks, appetizers, etc. Finally came back and brought our waters. At that point I was a little frustrated because I knew he wasn’t bothering with us because, in his mind, we weren’t making him any money with waters. When I went to tell him what cocktail I wanted, he immediately walked away and never gave me the opportunity to order. So we didn’t. About 15 minutes passed, he never came back and our table was ready. Waitress stopped and told us specials. The table ahead/beside us ordered and she was very talkative with them. We ordered. It did not take long for food to arrive. The steamed shrimp was mushy. Waitress served table beside us who had ordered the high dollar special. She was very attentive to them. Never came back to our table to ask how our dinner was or if we needed anything. I tried to get her attention about the mushy shrimp to no avail. There were probably half that were not mushy, so I settled. She brought our check. Never asked if we needed or wanted anything else/dessert. But the table beside us was well taken care of.
Waitress was middle age- short dark hair pulled back with a clip/pin of some sort. We have been here many time in the past and never felt this way.
All in all - ya, we won’t be back.
