This restaurant sets the bar of excellence very high on Ocracoke Island. The red snapper and the parmesean-encrusted trigger fish was simply superb! The service was excellent too. It was the perfect choice for a 33rd Anniversary dinner for my wife and me. If you plan on going, get there by 5pm for quick seating. However, if your party is 5 or more Flying Melon will take a reservation.

Best restaurant on the island hands-down. Great-looking space, terrific food, and good service. What else can one ask for?

Had a wonderful dinner there tonight, our last night on Ocracoke. Everything we had was delicious: shrimp appetizer, mushroom cheesecake, Parmesan-encrusted flounder, coffee crème brûlée.
We enjoyed dinner at the Flying Melon yesterday. I had baked oysters as a starter. They were wonderful. Just done, the oysters were juicy and flavorful. My main course was an encrusted red drum. Caught just off the island this was fresh and delightfully flavorful. I'd have these two things any day.
