Atmosphere is warm and friendly. We were told there would be a 20 minute wait....they called us in 5 minutes. Steamed shrimp appetizer was perfect. I tired something new.. stuffed flounder with crab meat and topped with lobster sauce. It was great..fresh broccoli was cooked or steamed to perfection. My husband got the filet minugon cooked medium. It was great....

My husband and I were on vacation at Kill Devil HIlls. I chose this restaurant from a large number of restaurants. I am so glad that I did. This restaurant has a gluten free menu.

I came to this restaurant with family during the off season. They had an early bird special that appealed to us. The hushpuppies were excellent. I had grilled fish with a side salad and baked potato and it was plenty for me. Unfortunately I did not get to try dessert here but would have loved to. I would be happy...

We sat in the lounge which wasn't a bad atmosphere because there was a wedding in the main dining room. The main dining room though has great views of the water though. Our server was great! We had the swordfish and the lobster stuffed with crab. Both were excellent. Afterward we walked out on their pier which was really nice.

Loved this restaurant. Beautiful view. Great service. Only problem we encountered was a small one. The menu can be a little confusing, as it has so many options. My husband ordered a plate we thought was $20.95, but when the bill came it was $26.95. Not a really big deal as the food was worth every penny. Just be sure...

Fried foods were simply way too greasy and the place reeked of old oil. Unappetizing and overpriced too.

This restaurant is our favorite location for fresh seafood selections. One of the best parts is the lighter side selections, which are all plentiful for smaller appetites, and includes same salad and side dishes as all other entrees. The view at sunset is spectacular from almost every table. We look forward to seeing Carol and her family in this locally...
