Spent a few days at The Sanderling and Paper Canoe is right across the street. Ate there twice it was so good. I had the fried oysters both times, so hot and fresh and crispy. Also tried the shrimp and grits. I’m always interested in trying a new version, and this one was outstanding. The large blackened shrimp were excellent, and the grits were creamy. The scallops and risotto were also especially good. Hostess was very accommodating and got us in the second night we went without a reservation, and with only a short wait. Well worth it! I’m sure reservations are a must in the summer.

Third time, third excellent experience. Get reservations - it’s packed even in the off season.
Leslie, our server, was absolutely top tier. Attentive, but discrete. Helpful, noticed the slightest issue with the table (replacing flatware nearly instantly), and genuinely fun to talk to.
We all swore the food was even better this year than last. Great wine list. Great grilled Romain salad, wedge salad, catch of the day (pompano), and killer shrimp and grits.
The only quibble I have is that it gets very loud when full (solid wood everywhere…floors, tables, all of it). At our table of 6, I couldn’t hear the guy at the other end. Invest in some sound deadening, please. But otherwise please keep up the magic!

Very pleasant dining experience. Scallops and the Filet Wellington were perfectly prepared and delicious. Great mohito and blue canoe cocktails.
A group of 8 of us dined at The Paper Canoe and everyone loved their meal!! Our Server, Lesley, was so knowledgeable about the menu and kept us all smiling…you could tell she loved her job!! The views of the sound were amazing

Chicken Kiev was excellent, potatoes had a nutmeg taste which was a nice touch. Scallops were fresh, wished the risotto that came with was cooked with truffle oil. Mocktails were interesting and refreshing!

We had my son’s wedding rehearsal dinner there in September. Jean Marc and Kara went out of their way to make everything perfect. The food was delicious and cocktails were excellent. Everyone has complimented my choice of restaurant and atmosphere. And the sunset!!! This was the perfect place! I can’t say enough about the staff that night, they were wonderful! Be sure and go to the Paper Canoe if you get a chance!

The mezcal margarita is the best 'rita I've ever had and I've had many. Food was top notch as was the service. Hands down, the Canoe is the best restaurant in Duck and the a unsets are fantastic.
Service: Milan is a very personable and knowledgeable waiter. We had an excellent meal, he guided us expertly through the menu and the specials. He made the evening very enjoyable. We will definitely return. Sunset, wine selection, excellent food, and top-notch service made for the perfect birthday celebration.

Steak and chicken dinner entrees were delicious! We also had cocktails and creme brûlée for dessert that were amazing. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a date night or anniversary. The service and staff were wonderful and really added to the overall experience.

Food was decent but super unseasoned, got a margarita that was literally undrinkable, had one sip and sent back, still got charged $15. Overall very underwhelming experience, would never go back.
