Best Food I’ve had in a very long time! Everything was top notch down to the sweet tea! I’m a Chef and very picky! It couldn’t have been any better. Thanks!

My friends and I had a terrific meal here. We had the ribeye, duck, lamb, fried oysters, caesar salad and arancini. All were delicious. Service was great also!

The best place i ate at the whole week! Delicious , great atmosphere and service! Real food, not a chain or microwaved food! Wonderfully prepared and delicious! Thank you for a pleasant experience!

This is such a cozy place for a nice date night. The food is fantastic and the service is great. The scallops are cooked perfectly. The ribeye was delicious. The Mediterranean seafood pasta dish was delicious. The cocktails are great. I definitely want to comeback for the lasagna. I hear it is great.

A perfect date night at an outstanding restaurant. We love a good food experience and this place nailed it! Gus was pleasant and attentive and the food was spectacular.

I dined with my kids, husband, and parents during summer. This is a small, eclectic spot on the Morehead City waterfront serving pizza, Thai, and American food. I recommend reservations in summer, because seating is limited. All of our food was delicious and cooked to temp. My husband's burger was properly medium rare. My mother declared the pork loin the best she'd ever had. The chicken in my pad Thai was juicy and not overcooked, though the dish was a little spicy for my taste. My daughter's pizza was crispy and smothered with cheese. There is no kids' menu, but there is a side dish of pasta marinara available, and of course there is pizza (1 size). When we go back next summer, I will skip the Thai and go for the farm-to-table cuisine. This is a lovely addition to Morehead City, and we look forward to returning.

Hands down, one of the best evenings we’ve had in years – spectacular cocktails, amazing menu options and stellar service. We were promptly seated on a recent Friday night and greeted by our server who immediately offered us a selection of the nightly drink specials – we opted for the Coconut Margarita and a Mescal Mojito, both were well-balanced and quite boozy. The evening’s dinner specials sounded awesome, and we chose the locally-caught Green Shrimp Pizza as our entree, but started off with our server’s excellent appetizer recommendations; the Fried Arancini (Italian rice balls with risotto) of the day was served with a wonderfully balanced marinara and basil aioli sauce - perfectly fried, delicate and over the top. Our second appetizer, the Curried Fried Oysters, were one of the highlights of our meal – in a town where most of the seafood is imported and overly fried, Chef Cam’s local bivalves were plump and juicy, and perfectly paired with the Thai dipping sauce. This app could easily be a meal in itself! We decided to split a Spinach Salad for a small upcharge, but ended up wishing we had ordered two instead – the warm made-to-order bacon and egg vinaigrette was refined and a perfect light dressing for the sliced mushrooms, red onions and baby spinach. The meal’s pacing was flawless and our server was wonderfully attentive without being hovering. The timing gave us the opportunity to enjoy the eclectic atmosphere and watch gorgeous plates of food being delivered to nearby diners. The Edamame appetizer, served with multiple flavors of colorful sea salts was a huge hit at the table next to us. The Rosemary-rubbed Lamb Chops and Chicken Pho was also quite popular with the guests seated next to us. Our gorgeous pizza arrived hot and bubbling - the sourdough crust was perfectly charred and had a nice chew, and held up under the weight of the expertly fired green tail shrimp, garlic sauce and basil aioli. The pizza was certainly big enough for two people to share. We’re excited to return and try some of the other protein options, including the steak and Tuscan-style Shrimp pasta. Don’t miss this place – rarely do you find Charleston and Chicago-esque dining in southeastern North Carolina that offers this much attention to flavor and presentation.
