Prime Rib Night at Life Saving Station was absolutely outstanding. Prime rib was cooked to perfection and the sides equally as delicious. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. If you’re a prime rib lover, this is the place to be. I’d give it more than five stars if I could. Can’t wait to come back!

Good food. So so atmosphere. Seating could be more comfortable. They are open, but based on lack of lit signage or other lighting, you'll think they are closed. They are missing out on a lot of business by not looking like they are open.

We went tonight for the Prime Rib night and needless to say, we know why it's dead. The place needs a whole revamp. All we heard the entire evening is that our whole experience will be subpar because their building got hit by a lightning and it's the system's fault. What? I could not believe they're even open. They even blamed the lightning on why they couldn't open the fireplace, the 2nd night that it's been cold in Outer Banks, you can feel the draft in that restaurant. I try and be reasonable but that whole attitude affected the entire dinner service. The prime rib got cold quickly,the server forgot about the au jus and had to request it. And it came out not hot at all. It's not bad but it's not the greatest food choice. You want people to drive to Sanderling, make it worthwhile. I expected a lot from this place, this is attached to Sanderling. You can't claim the fame of being #1 resort on Condé Nast when you lack on the F&B department. If nothing is working properly, close it. It's not worth it.

Food and service was excellent. However, it was hard to enjoy as it was so very cold inside the restaurant. The fire place was not working and it seemed there is no other heat source in the restaurant. Food was very good but $70.00 for breakfast for two people is too much. Omelette did not come with toast or biscuit and it was an extra $7.00 for a biscuit.

The restaurant is a big disappointment. Food is ok, but not up to what one would expect at their prices and there is zero ambiance. Bright lights and lots of white dinette type furniture. Their upscale dining venue (Theodosia) is closed for the season so I guess they are trying to keep their guests fed as best they can. Food and beverages are VERY expensive and not unique in any way. Resort prices at a rather pedestrian venue. I do not recommend.

We started with the Coastal Crab Dip. It was to die for. Then we got the #5 burgers. Juicy and cooked to perfection, with a really interesting fig & bacon jam, and an additional sauce on the side. I did not want the fries or chips, so they offered me a delicious side salad with a yummy lemon vinaigrette. We both got wine and really enjoyed them, to the point that we asked to take a photo of the bottle. Our server was so kind and attentive. We can’t wait to return! Bravo!

Very nice resort casual restaurant. Pries were a little high but you are in an ocean side resort.

We wish that every staff member at the restaurant had Ethan’s work ethic. We’ve been coming here for years and we were always met with a smile, a clean table, amazing food and great service. This year things have been a little different... We had to clean up half of the bar for ourselves just to be able to have a place to sit and place our order. Thankfully, we were greeted by Ethan who went out of his way to serve us. He may only have been working here for 2 days but he was by far the best employee on this Saturday morning shift. You should hire more people who greet customers with a smile and have contagious energy. More people like Ethan.

Weird service. Grown man couldnt carry a drink on a tray. Strange
Staff very welcoming and food was good for the price. However, we had a waitress who seemed to be new at waitressing. DIdn't check on us to see if we wanted another drink before entree was delivered, didn't bring a steak knife to talble until half the entree was eaten. Manager comped a dessert and the waitress didn't charge us for the glass of wine that was delivered after our entree.

Our reservation was on Sunday, 7 September, at 10:30am. We both ordered crabs Benedict and after waiting found out that they were out of the crab. So, we then ordered Eggs Benedict and after a while found out that dish was also unavailable, with the waitress figuring they must have been out of holindaise sauce and didn't want to make any more for the day. I then ordered an omelette which was so outstanding that, in the end, I was glad they couldn't prepare and serve me any of their egg Benedict dishes!

Terrific little breakfast place, friendly service, chose to eat outdoors twice.
