City Kitchen is the perfect spot for a date night or special night out. They are tucked away in the Town Creek Marina offering beautiful views of the water for a romantic coastal atmosphere. The locally sourced food is prepared fresh and plated beautiful. The menu offers selections such as fresh seafood, steak, shrimp and grits, a gourmet burger, and duck bolognese. We were huge fans of the hamburger steak with its delicious bourbon brown sauce. The filet was cooked to perfection and did not disappoint. The daily fresh caught fish specials are always a fantastic option.

City Kitchen is a perfect vibe. From the elevated coastal ambience to the classy and informative service this environment is conducive to a great dining experience. The tenderloin special was delicious and cooked to order. Also, do NOT dine here and NOT try the sticky toffee pudding. It is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend visiting City Kitchen if you are in Beaufort, North Carolina!

I ordered the Hamburger Steak with mushrooms and onions and it was delicious. My daughter ordered the shrimp and grits and was disappointed with the grit cakes as they weren’t grits as she was expecting but I thought the taste was wonderful and I ate the grit part of her dinner since it was very delicious to me. We had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert because we had heard so many people rave over it, but we were not impressed with it, maybe we had heard so much about it we had too big expectations as I am a toffee lover. There are a lot of steps to get up to the restaurant but if you don’t want to take the steps, they have a number on the elevator that you can call, and they will bring it down so you don’t have to take the steps.

This one goes on my list of amazing restaurants across the country. The cuisine though a little pricey is definitely worth it. All of our meals including the desserts left us completely satisfied. Our experience here became the topic for the remainder of the evening because we all thought our respective dinners and desserts were the best. Bottom line they were all amazing. First class all the way

I wanted to like this place. Several people told me how good the food is. And the food is very good, though priced as if for the gods. My dissatisfaction was with the cool indifference and robotic qualities of the hostess and the server. But most of all, with the loud, crowded, chaotic ambiance of the dinning room. I have this old fashioned idea that a delicious meal should be enjoyed in a soothing, relaxed setting, at a leisurely pace accompanied by good conversation conducted without the need to raise the volume of one’s voice or to cup one’s hand behind the ear to hear what someone across the table is saying. It is ambience, service and the quality and preparation of the food that leads me to pay $41.95 for a small piece of broiled grouper on a mound of white rice. When I receive but one of these three at this price I am not happy. I was happiest with last night’s dinner at City Kitchen when I left. It was a very disappointing experience. 2023.07.20

Called at 2pm on the day we wanted to go even though on website they advise to call weeks in advance. They were wonderful and got us a reservation, it was just two of us. The hostess was so nice and pleasant and got us a table next over from a window and we had great views. Our waiter was very attentive and made great recommendations on food. The food was absolutely amazing! Every dish we had was flawless. Cooked perfectly. We will be going back for sure! Perfect atmosphere also. Relaxing and great water views.

Tucked into an area with lots of boat docks and on the second floor, we weren’t sure what to expect. What we experienced far exceeded those expectations! Service was excellent with a warm greeting from Dylan the host, and even friendlier service by our server Josie and several others who helped everyone with food orders and beverages. Speaking of bevs, Josie was very patient as we asked for more info on the wine menu, which she followed up with samples. The House Cava was not as dry as we liked, so we settled on some glasses of the excellent House Assyrtiko to start. The remainder of the Wine Menu was excellent, with many good to great wines in a range of prices. We ended up getting a bottle of the El Enemigo Chardonnay from Argentina, which went perfectly with our mains. Dylan is not only the host, but also the resident wine expert since he’s working towards his Sommelier Certification! Not only was he helpful, but also very interesting and professional. We shared the Beet Salad because we really enjoy both red and golden beets, especially with the goat cheese, candied pecans, and maple-cider vinaigrette over arugula- very tasty! The “Bigs” menu was a mixture of southern specialties, local seafood, and other interesting creative dishes! I’m not a Shrimp and Grits fan normally because it is too creamy and rich for my stomach. However, the addition of andouille sausage and mushrooms with a sauce or broth that seemed more like a roux, and the expertly grilled six shrimp placed over 2 very tasty grit cakes was too good sounding to pass up. I loved it! If I had anything to critique, it might be less salt in the cakes, because the andouille added plenty to each bite! My wife was feeling less adventurous, so decided to try the Roasted Airline Chicken. Some people believe this dish is very simple, but we think that it separates the good from the skilled Chefs. And the Chef prepared this dish with great skill and creativity! He added a mushroom curry and fig chutney to the plantains and jasmine rice, which complemented the chicken very well. We ended the night with a beautiful sunset that was enjoyed by many of the patrons as evidenced by their pictures! Because it was my wife’s birthday, Josie recommended we try their specialty, the Sticky Toffee Pudding, which was excellent, and not heavy or filling. They didn’t charge us for that, another classy decision. Overall, this has been one of our best meals on the Crystal Coast. And we will certainly be back to enjoy another great experience!

Such a good place for dinner. The butcher selection of the day was a New York strip. It was absolutely incredible. My sister got the catch of the day which was flounder. She was very impressed as well. The dessert we had was the cheesecake and the brownie cheesecake. Both were so good.

Great food and service, get a table outside if you can to enjoy the beautiful sunset . Airline chicken, mahi mahi, and sticky toffee pudding were great. The southern sampler was good as well. Would definitely come back again!!

City Kitchen saved our anniversary! We had eagerly anticipated reservations at a different Beaufort restaurant to celebrate our anniversary but they were canceled by the restaurant hours before we were to arrive.
