“ Favorite spot in duck. They have excellent food and specials. I also love that it’s got a clean, modern and open design. They have good, basic drink options. The seafood is good and fresh. We got king crab legs that were fantastic and a special tuna bowl. I like the variety of options they have on the menu too ”
“ The food was magnificent, from the starters to the entree. We had the Mexican Poutine and the crab dip, both were fantastic. Certainly, one of the best sweet potato dishes I’ve ever had, and excellent crab. The service was very good, and incredibly attentive. Do note, that between 2-4, they are only serving select appetizers and soups, as the chefs prepare for dinner. This is not uncommon for chef-curated cuisine, but you should prepare if you prefer earl dinners or late lunches. Finally, the Seafood Trinity was very rich and flavorful. My girlfriend’s salad was equally flavorful, but was a little pricey ($30~) for a salad with added chicken. We will be back! Please note, parking is limited, but the shopping center across the street offers plenty! ”
“ My group enjoyed our time here. Definitely an excellent view. Some of our group was surprised one of the sauces tasted exactly like something they regularly buy from the store. The portion prices seemed small on some of the more expensive items. We were surprised to find there was already an auto gratuity applied for our group. So we tipped double the intended amount. Definitely be aware of this in case you have a group over 7! Absolutely understandable, but we wish it would've been verbally communicated since the people who covered the bill weren't wearing reading glasses. Our waitress was lovely and very helpful The sweet potato fries and poutine were excellent. Highly recommend for taste and price! ”
“ A pilgrimage to the Outer Banks is not about food for me but about rest and enjoying my favorite relationships. We stopped in here to grab a bite while waiting for our beach house to be ready. It was too humid to sit outside but the view was very serene and enjoyable. The menu at the time we went in was very limited. My husband and son shared the Mexican appetizer which was a creative and delicious combination. The restaurant was crowded and very loud, felt like hustle and bustle. I thought the prices were extremely high but that piece of real estate is pricey to rent I’m sure and they have to pay for it with their summer customers. The staff were friendly but kind of looked us up and down as if we maybe we weren’t dressed well enough. We had just driven 8 hours and didn’t look our best. ”
“ "We arrived early and snagged a perfect spot on the deck, with stunning views of the sound. Our server, Blake, was incredible! She was a local with such spirit, thoughtfulness, and professionalism. She guided our teens in picking out great choices and, thank goodness, talked us into trying 'the board.' It was nothing short of amazing—an impressive spread of everything, beautifully arranged on a plank. Every dish was phenomenal, with the crab and salmon standing out as our favorites. The surprise beignets? Decadent and the perfect way to cap off the meal. To top it off, live music started just as we finished. Overall, this place is a gem. 5 stars all around!!" ”
