105 S 7th Street, Morehead City, NC 28557
“Our restaurant features local products but infuses dishes we have experienced as we traveled around the world during our careers in baseball and surfing, and from working on a ship in the Gulf of Mexico. We’ve taken dishes from other areas, infused it with local seafood, and created a menu that has a Caribbean-Central American feel with a Carteret County flare. Our atmosphere is a little more modern, more contemporary than you would typically find on the Morehead City waterfront. In our opinion, we have the best location and the best ambiance of any building in Morehead, and that’s for a building that’s been here since the 1920s! We invite you to join us for dinner, Sunday brunch, or one of our live music events. Relax and relish our view of the Morehead City waterfront while enjoying your favorite beverage.”
