This was our first time here (and our first time in the Outer Banks!), & we were very happy with our experience. The food portions were great, the food was phenomenal, and the view of the sunset was lovely! We had the crab & shrimp Alfredo & the seafood platter. It was amaaazing!

Very nice service, super tasty food, good wine, everything served quickly, as an individual you got a nice table by the window with a view of the water and sunset, the price was absolutely right...

My fiance left a review earlier but I just wanted to add to It, we had such a good time. We are locals and we have both worked in restaurants on the island especially down south. It was an amazing experience. We have only come here twice in the past 4 years. The first time was good but this time was beyond fun. We don't go out too much anymore especially with it being the begining of the season. It is definitely worth the money we spent. The portion sizes were good. Compliments to the kitchen. Overall the best service was from our waitress Carley. We came in around 730 and we felt like we were being a bother because I believe y'all closed at 800. We asked a lot of questions about the food and drinks at such a late hour and she responded very well and reinsured is that it was okay and they often stay late sometimes. We stayed till almost 900.We asked if it was okay if we got 1 more drink at 845 and she said it was not an issue.If you ask me that's top notch customer service. I left a decent tip because of the service and I hope she thinks so too. We also had a 2 year old with us tonight which was 03/26/2024. She was interactive with him and kept him entertained for about a couple minutes at the time given it was slow. She was very nice and we will definitely ask for her again. Overall a wonderful and fun experience especially with it being so late. We didn't feel rushed at all and a 10/10.Definitely recommend to anybody visiting the island.Shout out to Carley ??❤️P.S. to the owner, please make sure she sees this review and give her praises. She is an outstanding waitress.

Amazing family atmosphere with even better food and service! Our waitress Carly was personable and kind, interacting with our son and giving us good recommendations. Food portions are huge and worth the price. We even stayed past closing and the staff didn’t mind one bit. Arcade downstairs, unique mixed drink list, incredible views of the sound. This place is definitely worth checking out, it really has it all!

I used to love this place. I went in with a bottle of water as I didn't drink tap water. They made a huge stink out of it. Second, I ordered a shrimp scampi. Oh dear God, so much garlic chunks and tasted like rancid garlic. Another person in my party had the ribs, which were amazing. Drinks are great as well. Service was this time less than desirable. I guess a bad one this time.

We were pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Waitress was quick, knowledgeable, and efficient, and the food was delicious. Be forewarned: the portions are HUGE. I wish I had requested a half order. Long set of stairs inside to get to the restaurant level, looks to be a ramp on the west side.

My sister and brother in law live locally and they love this establishment. They took my husband & I there for our anniversary. Everything we ordered was superb. The blackened tuna fish bites to start as well as the coconut shrimp. I had the yellowfin tuna, my husband ordered blackened sea scallops. My brother in law had crab cakes and my sister had the baby back rack of ribs, which fell off the bone! All of it was cooked to perfection! Our server was friendly, efficient and engaging. The property is for sale now, it is a family business, so I encourage you to dine now. The weather didn't cooperate with a stunning sunset as hoped but Mother Nature knows best!

My hubby and I visited and I had the vodka penne and he had the fried seafood platter. Both were delicious! Love going there. Beautiful sunsets too

Delicious food and excellent service as always! Tracie has served us multiple times and always ensures our kiddos with allergies are cooked a safe meal. At the end of the night when we ordered desserts to go she made sure to let me know the one I ordered wasn’t safe for the kids without me even mentioning their allergies again. Thank you so much, Tracie!

Our server Jen quoted 42.99 for the bone in rib eye steak, the actual cost was 49.99. Steak had little flavor, Yukon mash potatoes were watery tasting. For the price we were very disappointed.
