The second floor restaurant has a panoramic view of the sound and is noted for the beautiful sunset views.  We have an elevator for those who need it. For the most part they are open year-round at 5 pm seven days a week for dinner.  During the winter months you should call as they may close a few days a week or for a short period of time.  They serve fresh North Carolina seafood and Chef Dwight Callahan cooks up seafood specials nightly.  Pasta dishes, duck, steak and lamb are also served.  See the complete menu on their website as their menu changes each season.
