Wonderful little dockside restaurant. We really got lucky with the weather and a beautiful sunset to brighten the atmosphere and our server was excellent and attentive.
For starters, I stuffed myself with the calamari and it was delicious. I know it's probably just drenched in Sweet Thai Chili Sauce, but that side sauce (lime and coconut crème fraîche?) was an excellent combo I couldn't put down even for my burning lips 😂
The clam chowder was either really good or the bowl had a hole in it. Sadly, I ran out far too quickly and checked the bowl for holes. Should have ordered more 😒
Shrimp and Grits was my entree. It was very good, but the sauce was a little too thin for my liking, and easily got mixed in with the grits. Other than a personal texture-based preference, everything was excellent 😊

Delightful waterside restaurant in Beaufort, North Carolina. Great outdoor and indoor seating. From casual to fancy atmosphere.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant with a spectacular view of the waterfront. The food is beautiful and delicious. The ingredients are highly quality. Drinks are fantastic. It is a little on the pricey for what is served. However, you are also paying for location….. I highly recommend for a date night.

This is a great spot for a night out. There's a roof top bar and seating area with tables over looking the water. Beautiful view at any time of the day, but the night hits different with the moon, stars, water, boats and lights on and off the water....perfect date night spot. We had a drink on the roof, looked out over the water and chatted before dinner, took in the cool air and views.
We sat along the rail outdoors on the first floor, again great views. The server we had wasn't terrible, but not the greatest. But the appetizer helped. We ordered the Calamari...holy Moses. AMAZING! One of the best I've ever had! Super meaty, thick, fresh and the sauce was killer! That Thai chili was sweet and not hot, super flavorful. Was a larger portion than most apps as well! I had the blackened grouper, which was also very good. Plenty of seasoning, so not lacking any flavor at all! My wife got the special catch of the day, which was a bland snapper. Wasn't a bad dish, just lacking the seasoning, flavor. We met others over the next days that expressed their disappointment on the dish as well.

Stopped in for drinks after a visit to Shackleford Banks. Visited the rooftop bar. The bar has wonderful views of the waterfront. Service was a bit slow. It could’ve been the limited wait staff.

Kim was our waitress. And she is a DOLL! I trust her with my palate. The fish and chips were fresh and tasty. The soft shell sandwich is for diehard crab fans. Also the frozen painkiller is delish. The view is fabulous.

I loved the rooftop atmosphere and view. The drinks were a little strong but great either way. I had the whipped feta and I very highly recommend it. My friend didn’t love it but I definitely did.

We stopped in on a rainy evening to grab some appetizers and drinks. It was our 1st visit and we are very excited to go back for a full dinner experience. Beautiful, multi-level restaurant on the Beaufort waterfront. They even had some local dolphins putting on a show in the bay! Drinks were exceptional with very professional bar staff. The potatoes and dip we got were superb as well! We highly recommend!

This restaurant is an absolute gem. Service was friendly and accommodating, the food was immaculate and the views were stunning. Our table ordered the spicy mussels, blackened group, salmon, cheeseburgers, truffle fries and the catch of the day. (Mussels & catch of the day pictured.) They have an excellent wine list but I ordered the beach sangria and it was delicious. I highly recommend if you are in the area!

Lovely dinner there last fall. Interesting menu, and if you are unsure, they can leave the sauces off and offer on the side of some dishes. We started with the baked shrimp which were tender and tasty. Mom had the salmon entree opting for the sauce, at that time, on the side, Harissa if I recall correctly, which was a wise choice for her taste but I liked the sauce. I did the shrimp and grits and really enjoyed it. Hubby did the blackened grouper and enjoyed it. The truffle fries where a hit. Enjoyed the dessert. Only negative was the long wait for my husband's cocktail which was watered down by the time it got delivered. Service was slow to start but rebounded nicely.
