Delicious dinner!! I had the petite filet- it was cooked perfectly. Whatever the scalloped potato thing it was served with was to die for. Also at our table was the fresh catch red drum and crab cake, which were both delicious. Ended with the bananas foster and the crème brûlée. Biggest crème brûlée I have ever seen! And the bananas foster was incredible. Also had a delicious espresso martini. Will absolutely return.

The best restaurant in Beaufort North Carolina. Great service and ambience. The food is out of this world. I had the filet and fish special which was Red Drum. It was fantastic.

One of our favorite places in Beaufort. Our party has not been there in a while so we decided to go for a late reservation. OUTSTANDING. We got a couple appetizers, entrees, and desert. Plus cocktails. Wow it was just delicious. The staff was also amazing. Highly recommend.

This was my second visit. It was just as good as I remembered. We had the fried pimento cheese and hummus appetizers. Both were good but the fried pimento cheese was better. 2 had the grouper special. I had the crab cake. 1 had the petite fillet. We all cleaned our plates. It was that good. Everyone had a good time.

Some of the best food I have had in my life. We got the red drum catch of the day which was super fresh and amazing, the carrot puree was so delicious. My sister got the noodle bowl with tuna / scallop / shrimp and a chili coconut broth a little heat but not overpowering. We got the dessert sampler which was beautiful and flavorful! Thank you for a wonderful night and a great experience! Johnathan our water was also great as well as the host.

Food was just exquisite, great ambience and an extensive wine and spirits list. They offer selected cocktails and twist on some Martinis, I had one of them and it was really good. I bet other cocktails are equally good. I was seated at the bar and had the privilege to see Trish make them. She was extremely friendly and fun to chat with. This place came highly recommended from a bartender in New Bern and even though I had to get to Raleigh by tonight and Beaufort is in opposite direction yet it was absolutely worth the extra drive back & forth.

We tried 3 days to try their dessert that we’ve heard raves about. No one answers the phone, no one returns phone calls for reservations as the voicemail says it will. However without a reservation, yes they accommodated us on their patio. The desserts were good. However they made us feel as if we were not good enough to be in the restaurant as they made us go back outside and go to the porch from outdoors after taking another group to the patio through the beautiful restaurant. Based on our treatment we will not be back.
