This is my second visit to this restaurant and it was a distinct disappointment this time. Muscles were mealy and apparently overcooked and the 3 people in our party that ordered them all sent them back. Two orders of vol au vent were mediocre. Scallops were dry and overcooked. The waitress did not appear to have been well trained as... More

I love this restaurant and the beautiful Inn its located in. My family and friends spent two great nights here. We not only loved how comfortable and warm the rooms were with a beautiful view, but the restaurant was a perfect match for it's decor, beverages, staff and food. I was impressed with the wine list, great martinis, smiling very... More

Gorgeous restaurant, wonderful menu. I ordered the pork "medallions" which I have had in the finest of restaurants. Their website boasted world class chefs so I was very excited about coming here. However, when my meal arrived, it was pork chops, not pork mediallions which are from the finest cut of the pork. Pork medallions are the pork tenderloin, they... More

Quick, responsive service. Nice views of the water. I enjoyed the flatbread and the tuna over couscous. All of the food was excellent but I thought the couscous was particularly outstanding.

During a weekend stay in Outer Banks for a special occasion we were mulling our heads about dinner at a place that would serve vegetarian menu and 1587 was just the place we were looking for. 1587 is a neat restaurant with water view and an amazing menu. We dined at this place on a weekend when there was "taste... More

It has been a few years since I've been there but the food was excellent and presented creatively. At the time they only served beer and wine and I'm not sure that has changed. Very pretty historic property in downtown Manteo.

The food here is second to none, fresh, creatively prepared, but not snooty. A top notch wine list, good service and a view of the water top it all off. A quiet and small dining room provides you with an intimate setting for a romantic evening and can take the edge off of a busy day on the OBX. Enjoy!

While pricey...the food, the presentation and the service are all superb and this would be a standout restaurant anywhere in the country. As it is, it is by far, the best restaurant on the NC coast and time and again I've come away amazed at the tastes AND with a full belly. I only wish they were open more of... More

The last time I ate here was in 2010, and it was such a bad experience I swore I would not come back unless I learned something to change my mind. The place had been a tradition on my Outer Banks vacations, but had gradualy gone downhill. I checked the recent reviews before this trip, and found them to be... More

Dined here with 6 friends and 1587 took great care of our group. Waiter was very good working with us. Crab cakes are awesome, Surf and Turf is a great choice and the Tuna was outstanding. Can't go wrong eating at this resturant. Be prepared to spend a little money if you have some wine, appitizers and dessert, but it... More
