I love this place! The scallop&shrimp fettuccine is to die for!!! And the warm cookie dessert is a must every time. Very nice staff and relaxing atmosphere too with the screened in porch

Just wanted a sandwich. They reluctantly gave me a cheeseburger which was a kiddie item & my wife got a spaghetti also apparently a child's item. Our bill was over $50.00. No mustard, no pickles or Cole slaw available. No garlic bread with the spaghetti. Other entrees were between $25-$35. Will definitely NOT be back.

Good food but over priced for what we received. Over $30 for five scallops is ridiculous. Had to wait a while to get service. Good wine list is positive.

Went on a Friday night and sat in the bar. The bartender did a great job keeping everything straight for a full room. She comped us on 2 items because she wasn't as timely as she hoped to be. Tuna Poke and fried Brussels sprout appetizers were awesome. Main course of horseradish encrusted salmon was well done. I'd recommend for future visitors.

Service was great/ our server was fun and social. In late September there was no wait and we had a table on the porch immediately. The service was quick and the food was hot. The mixed drinks were a healthy pour, and the food was tasty and hot. Highly recommend during the off season!

Bourbon Pecan chicken was excellent. Dinner rolls are huge and charged separately. Definitely share one.

You must go to the back porch café. Went this evening got there by 5 , no wait! The food was outstanding and the service impeccable. I had the grouper special with field peas and a cheesy grit cake!!! Phenomenal …. I had to rest in between just so I could finish, but it was so good I HAD to finish it! My husband had the strip special and his was just as good! Home made, Parker house rolls were delightful! Wish I had had room for dessert because it sounded amazing! But seriously, go there for the excellent food and excellent service. You won’t be disappointed.

Had one of the best seafood meals and that is saying much from a New Englander. Absolutely loved the pecan crusted black drum!!!! The drinks were good too as well as the service and atmosphere. This place is a gem and a welcome change from the over priced garbage we got in Kitty Hawk/Killdevil.
