The room was supposedly heated but it was absolutely freezing, I had to wear my winter coat during dinner. We 've been here before and loved it but this new years dinner they dropped the ball no pun intended. The 4 course meal looked amazing on the menu and the salad and tuna tataki was amazing, for the entree I order the lamb and lobster and the lamb was good but tiny and lobster was overcooked and burnt tasting- it was the worst lobster I 've ever had. Dessert was great but I was too frozen to care. Not the best experience but I would give it a shot again with INDOOR seating and I definitely would never get lobster again. Yuck!

I'm so glad I discovered this hidden gem in the Hatteras Island area and I will definitely be returning!

When we arrived for breakfast at 9 AM, we were asked if we had a reservation, even though the place was empty. They seated us at a table under the stairs when there was a nice table available by the water. It felt very much like we were being treated as second-class customers. My husband is a veteran, an amputee, and a retired law enforcement officer. While he was in the restroom, I decided to move us to the vacant table by the water. A young girl approached and tried to inform me that the table was dirty, then went on to say, “in the future...” I interrupted her to say that we wouldn’t be returning. This was the most unwelcoming experience we’ve had in the Outer Banks. The hospitality was terrible, and there was an air of snobbery despite the food being mediocre. I strongly advise against eating here! Also, the coffee cups were chipped—take a look at the photos.

Food could be better for price point. Mainly from a seasoning point. As much as you want the window table for sunset-dont do it!

It 's blinding without any shade or tint. Both of which would help without blocking view-management didnt agree so obviously they haven 't looked into it. Requested to move to a table that couple had just left- 'no, that 's for 4 '. But it was just 2 that left and was later seated for 2. Waitress professional and did best she could with situation.
