The food here is always delicious! The service is provided by a very kind staff. The pecan crusted red drum is a must have if it’s on the daily menu! Hope you enjoy!
Hands down, the best restaurant we have visited in all of OBX, let alone Ocracoke. The food is always stellar, the service & atmosphere are exquisite, and the cocktail service may be some of the best in the state. What a joy to have it here in our favorite place.
Wonderful presentation 👏. Amazing as always. Scallop appetizer. Fish cakes. Cobia was cooked perfect. Wife had best parmesean crusted spade fish. Tigger fish was also amazing night before. Wonderful staff.
What an incredible food experience. The local seafood options were great. The fig w Goat cheese/ balsamic drizzle app simply sublime. The Mushroom Cheese cake , so savory and highly recommended. Sea scallops were divine. Kevin our server was a true professional..
Flying Melon was a great experience. The food was well prepared, presented beautifully, and was delicious. The building itself had history, yet was fresh and added to the unique blend of tradition and modern twists. If we get back to the island it will be on our list of places to go!
We really enjoyed ourselves! Our waiter Caylen was professional and personable. Our wine choices were excellent. The Scallop special with Oyster mushrooms was great. My Sheepshead fish was tasty. And to top it off we shared a bread pudding that was mmmmmmm good. This review might sound a little over the top, and it is, a little, but we will definitely go back on a future trip to Ocracoke Island
Great local cuisine! Full bar. Excellent service. Locals have suggested - this is the best restaurant on the island. We had a party of eight. Kids menu available. Everything tasted so good! Highly recommend!!
If you're looking for fine dining with down to earth country appeal, this is the place. If it's five people or more, they suggest reservations. Be ready to loosen the wallet a little, and feel good about it when the evening concludes. Flying Melon is a several course meal experience. The bar prepares well made mixed drinks. Fried green tomatoes on the apps list aren't to be missed. Fresh seafood selections are favorites, though the filet mignon choices are also delectable. Find room for dessert. The key lime pie and chocolate torte are especially decadent. As befits such an establishment, staff goes out of the way to bring a memorable evening. Treat yourself to an unforgettable dining experience in an unforgettable place.
We had a reservation for a party of seven and were seated as soon as we arrived. Service was spot on and fast for each order. The scallops appetizer was served over a thick, creamy, cheesy sauce and was unbelievably delicious. The fried green tomatoes were crispy and served with big tasty shrimp. Everyone’s entree was great. The special was pompano with a corn summer succotash and it was popping with fresh flavor. Even had a bit of coconut in it. Cocktails are classic with Flying Melon’s original mixologist modern twist. The wine selection is large and reasonably priced. Highly recommend dinner here.
If I could give even more stars, I would! This restaurant is worth the 7 hr drive, the 1 hr ferry, and the 20 min walk it took to get there. The Fried Green Tomatoes are to die for, and the Flourless Chocolate Torte is over-the-top spectacular! Every meal is both beautiful and full of flavor. The waitress is attentive, and the folks who clear the table are on it. This is the singularly best thing about the entire OBX...and I'm not exaggerating!
