Seventeen years after opening the restaurant on April 15, 2008, I remain deeply committed to the hands-on work that keeps the place thriving. As of June 08, 2025, I’m still right there on the line, cooking alongside my team, doing my best to ensure every dish meets the standards we’ve built over all those years. I also step into the dish pit when needed, scrubbing plates and keeping the kitchen’s heartbeat steady. This isn’t just about staying connected to the grind—it’s about leading by example, maintaining the quality and camaraderie that define our restaurant’s culture, and never losing touch with the hard work that got us here after 17 years in business.

I'm kind of thinking we should do a paella this week

Go ahead...
Take a minute (or seven) to savor the current traffic jam happening in this afternoon's sunlight.

Sun. Sand. Sea mist...and our favorite O.G. locals acting like they own the beach 😉

Big thanks to our tour guide extraordinaire, Bill, for sharing. Talk about job perks.....

☀️ It’s 75° and absolutely gorgeous here in Duck, NC!
We’re soaking up the sunshine while it lasts — there might be some rain rolling in later. And you know what that means… rain = busy restaurants! 🌧️🍷
