Cuisine

From our unique take on Oysters Rockefeller, our Southern Oysters Rock, to down home staples like our famous Pimento Cheese Board, locally-sourced ingredients are the star of the show. We work with the area’s top farmers and fishermen for everything from organic heirloom tomatoes to oysters pulled from local waters that day.

Beverages

Nothing accompanies our fresh, coastal cuisine better than a crisp bottle of wine or an expertly crafted cocktail from the bar. On tap, you’ll find a selection of North Carolina’s best homegrown beers from Highland Brewing in Asheville, Appalachian Mountain Brewery in Boone, and Ghost Harbor Brewing Company in Elizabeth City.
