New American Restaurants near Saint James, NC

“We enjoyed sitting out on the deck, listening to the band. Had drinks & appetizers. It was windy. So we went inside for dinner. It was very loud, we had to yell to talk, nothing around at all soften the noise! Staff and meal took forever and not worth the wait.“

“Everything was amazing!! Great service! The food was so flavor packed!! The cucumber salad was omg delicious!!! Thank you for the great lunch! Will be back for dinner and drinks soon!!“

“There's nothing low about this country boil, it is all high caliber. I ordered a sample of all they offered and everything was fresh. Even the andouille sausage's spicy flavor was a pleasant surprise. Quantities were ample. Condiments were provided. Their boil seasoning is steps above Old Bay, with a slight kick depending on how much you use. I utilized their suggestion to use their signature brew for the boiling. On the subject of brews, I partnered this feast with their popular and equally flavorful Taco Life Mexican style lager. On top of everything mentioned, I now have a souvenir bucket in remembrance of a great meal.“

“Hands down the best restaurant in Brunswick County! The food is consistently spectacular, and I love how the menu is always evolving — it keeps things exciting and fresh. It’s refreshing to dine somewhere that truly values creativity. The drinks are expertly crafted, and the desserts are absolutely out of this world. We come here all the time, and the staff is hands-down the friendliest and most attentive we’ve ever encountered. An all-around amazing experience every single visit!“

“Celebrated my birthday at Salt64 as our first visit to the establishment. Exceptional service, David was an outstanding waiter. Food was delicious, brought promptly to our table still hot and fresh out of the kitchen. Due to its size, when all tables were full it was a bit noisy, but well worth the noise for the food and service. Don't skip dessert!“

“Tranquil Harbor is one of our go-to places to eat on the island. We love that we can make a reservation since many places don’t take them. The salmon is incredibly good as is pretty much everything we’ve ever ordered. I’m a super particular person when it comes to restaurant food so you better believe if I’m a repeat customer (dozens of times over), it must be good. Bonus is we have some in our family with sensitive tummies and if anything had ever been off as far as freshness, their guts would’ve let us know. No issues at all. Also we adore the bartender whose name escapes me at the moment. She makes a mean martini and is always friendly and fun.“

“Great experience! Bob and his team are awesome. We always look forward to our visit when in town!“

“Fun place to drink and socialize“
