Flying Fish Cafe Wine

Our favorite restaurant in the outer banks! the personal is friendly and informative. local seafood and large wine selection!

The table was ready when we arrived. need to replace broken / oiled corks in both toilets, it was old tired. the place was not the ff we know in the past. lamb: large shrimp n grits: large baked oysters/remoulade sauce: big no glasses by Proseco.as advertised only bottles? she wants to be known as weeping? creme brûlée: on a watery consistency. but we closed the place.

Disappointing dinner. Ciopinno was far too salty and skimpy on seafood. Fried soft shells were over battered and also too salty. I am not overly sensitive to salt but both dishes were ruined by too much salt. Best thing was Chocolate Hurricane dessert . The ice cream cookie dessert was not good. The cookie had no flavor. Ate here over 10 years ago and it was great at that time. Won't be going back.

We chose to eat at Flying Fish Cafe based on the ratings from a travel web site, but we were disappointed with the quality of food, service, and atmosphere. We have dined at most other restaurants listed in the top 5 in the Outer Banks reviews, and the Flying Fish Cafe unfortunately is not in the same league. The fried oysters were so overbreaded that we could hardly find the oyster. My wife's beef tips were inexplicably also breaded and fried. My grilled tuna was good, but average in every way. The wine list is average. We will not plan on returning, I am sorry to say.

Swordfish was excellent so was the service. Wine list by the glass was above average.
