Absolutely fantastic food and atmosphere, love that it overlooks the bay. They have their own garden that they grow fresh veggies and fruit! Vegan friendly menu, waitress was kind and attentive. We had a great casual fine dining experience. I do wish their fresh bread was vegan & hope to see them innovate and experiment with new vegan dishes on their menu in the future as we will definitely be coming back next year!

Our family of 7 ate here for our special dinner out on our vacation and it didn’t disappoint. The property is beautiful. We were seated with a beautiful view. The food was amazing – specifically the soft shell crab, bang bang clams, & the fried chicken! We enjoyed everything. We had a great dining experience. We will return!

We came to have a romantic date night and try their vegan menu. The level of service here is a dying art, these are truly professionals. The only reservation spot available was 830 (when they close at 9) but we never felt rushed. Cucumber gimlet cocktails were delish. It’s such a delight to have several vegetable-centric plant based options to choose from, not just a beyond burger. We got the coconut rice and the curry. Veggies and rice were cooked to perfection. Great flavor profiles on both, the coconut rice was our favorite.

Good place to stop. Really nice staff which was so worth it! The views speak for itself. Food is average. Came for Sunday breakfast, small portions $56 for 2 people. Hubby had amazing shrimp and grits, I should of got that. It was delicious. I had chicken and waffles but didn’t really like it, waffles were hard. 2 pieces of chicken strips, I left hungry. Dessert was ok, not great enough to finish. Would like to come back and try dinner though. It’s a peaceful place.

My husband and I were married at the Inn 10 years ago so it has a special place in our hearts. We recently returned for our 10th wedding anniversary. While there we had 2 breakfasts (included with your room) and a dinner at Cafe Pamlico. The service was top-notch. Shout-out to Aylah, Justin, Willow and Sailor.

Had gotten a gift certificate to here and it did not disappoint. We shared the lobster bisque and Cesar salad which were very flavorful then got the catch of the day (grouper)and the daily special ( blackened scallops and buccatini) which were delicious and cooked perfectly. Finished with a piece of key lime pie which was very refreshing. Service was wonderful and the entire dinner was perfect! Would highly recommend to anyone!
