The View - Duck

Amazing food, great vibes, beautiful location. On vacation on the Outer Banks, and we'd planned to go to a different restaurant with outdoor seating. Luckily for us it started raining and we were able to get a table here. Can't say enough about the place, everything was great. I believe I can say without question this was the best pork chop I've ever eaten in my life. My daughters corn bread gnocchi (I think that's what it was) also incredible. Waitress was wonderful. Ambiance is truly exceptional. If you're looking to have a slightly more high-class meal in the Outer Banks this really should be your destination!

A lot of locals recommended this place so gave this place a whirl. Experience was OK. Made a reservation to celebrate a birthday; there was no acknowledgement from the host or waitress which was fine, but seemed weird since Open Table allowed notes to inform the restaurant of such occasions. Oh well. At least we were sat at a table with a gorgeous sunset view. Unfortunately, the view was a bit marred by a thick mesh screen over the window. Our waitress was wonderful and attentive. The food was pretty good and slightly elevated to some other places that we went to. Having studied their winelist, which was adequate, we still brought our own wine to pair with their food. The fried green tomatoes were a great way to start the meal. For entrees, tried the gnocchi which was rich. The pork chop was pretty good; I liked the crust and it paired well with the Pinot we brought. The tenderloin was good; very tender and prepared well. We were too stuffed for dessert. We showed up about half an hour prior to our reservation to walk around, which was a highlight and thankfully we did, as the parking lot was packed (would've been difficult to find a spot) when we went to retrieve the wine from the car.

Great views and a fun little bar/waiting area. Definitely recommend reservation. Food was good, but not outstanding! My husband loved the tuna special. We started with the she crab soup, which was really delicious. We also got the gnocchi, which was okay. I didn't love that it was made with cornmeal... gave it a weird texture but the taste was good.

Fantastic backdrop for a instagrammable sunset pic. Great service and the food is rock solid as well. We came here following a wild horse tour and I loved that I could plug in my Tesla while we ate. There are 4 spots for charging for free in the parking lot. Although they are slow, it's free and you might as well! Now to the food. I got the pork chop and it was as spectacular. I prefer pork over all other meats and will often order a pork chop if it's on the menu. I know that sounds odd, but honestly the pork chop is unforgiving and has to be a great choice or no one would ever order it. I definitely recommend that pork chop. Our drinks stayed full and it was overall a lovely experience.

We walked in around 7pm on a Wednesday and added our name to a waitlist for an outdoor seat. We grabbed a drink at their back bar and enjoyed the incredible atmosphere: live music and sunset views. Our server was friendly and attentive, she made great recommendations all evening. Around :20 later our table was ready. We got straight into entrees and went with the pork chop and the special: yellowfin tuna steak. Both were excellent. The tuna accoutrements (pineapple, bacon, and soy infused rice stole the show and were incredibly decadent. The pork chop came with a thick crusty sear that was super flavorful. The thick cut was juicy and a large enough portion that I barely ate half before passing the remainder to my husband to polish off. For dessert we had the pecan pie. More of a tart than a pie, the pecan flavor was exactly what you'd expect with a bourbon ice cream that was a great compliment. The tart (crust? was hard and a little difficult to cut. The pork chop came with a cheese bread pudding side that was amazing in its own right. Overall we had an amazing experience with a wonderful atmosphere. The perfect place to relax and enjoy a night in Duck.
