“When we came to Ocean Isle 6-7 years ago, we actually went here twice in the same week because it was so good. This time was also wonderful. Oceanside balcony seating with delicious entrees, and a decent wine and beer list. My daughter’s burger was amazing. Hubby and I both had the crab stuffed flounder, which was beautifully prepared with a lobster cream sauce on top. One of the best seafood dishes I’ve had all summer. I called ahead and had no trouble getting reservations, even called an hour before hand and pushed out our reservation by 30 minutes, which they easily accommodated. Highly recommend this place!”

“We chose this restaurant for our last dinner of the week. We definitely saved the best for last. We sat outside next to the outdoor bar as it was a perfect evening. Our waitress was very polite and friendly. The She-Crab Soup is to die for. We ordered a Ribeye and the Double Cut Pork Chop. Both were excellent”
