They gladly accommodated our large group, and Jacob was a phenomenal server! Not to mention the food was amazing! The gluten free options were generous which I appreciated. Personally loved the crab and shrimp dip with tortilla chips, and the beet salad with the grilled ahi. We also loved the live music (so talented whoever was playing on 2/7!) and overall vibes. Will definitely make this a normal stop on our outer banks visits in the future.

This was not our first visit to Trio but was the most disappointing. My friend and I ordered the…read moresame thing, the soup of the day , fish stew, and Quinoa salad with greens, tomatoes and mozzarella balls. The soup was $9 a cup and the bowl$19! Neither one was worth the money. Everything is expensive anymore when you eat out, I don't mind paying if the food is good. The soup had no signs of fish or seafood in either serving. It tasted like a spicy vegetable soup. It was good but no fish and not worth $9. The Quinoa bowl was average, tomatoes were spongy and tasteless and 3-4 pearl mozzarella balls. How is that $19? Very disappointing. I gave 1 star for our wine and our waitress Emily did an awesome job. She was prompt and took care of all the tables in the dining room. She did a fantastic job ensuring we had everything we needed. It wasn't her fault for the food. We are both locals and wanted a girl lunch, and appreciate the challenges restaurants face. Trio is always busy So not sure why today's food was so poor. I still bought wine at the store, again great shop.

My family has been coming to the Outer Banks for 25 years and have never been to this restaurant…read morebut this year my husband and I came down for my 51st birthday and I wanted to finally try this place. We came down in the middle of April so it was off-season and we had an early dinner reservation at 5:45 so there was barely anybody in there. (which I would say is the perfect time arrive because by the time we left, it was pretty packed.) The greeter and the servers were super friendly and attentive. They really take the time and talk to their guests. We ordered drinks and then the appetizers of the warm crab dip and the truffle fries which came out like within five minutes and they were both absolutely amazing. We've devoured them. I wasn't super hungry after that so I got the shrimp Caesar salad The salad was fresh and the shrimp was good (the tails were removed. Thank God cause some places don't do that) my husband got the fish special which was the tuna which he said was amazing. We then got dessert, I got the chocolate torte, and my husband got the apple puff pastry tart. They added a candle on my dish because it was my birthday. That was a nice touch. We weren't super impressed with the desserts, but everything else was amazing. We would definitely come back and sitting by the windows to overlook the water was a plus!

This place is dog friendly as the water bowl was provided for my canine buddy. Parking lot is small, so going there on a weekday is better.

Fine selection of sticks competitively priced to be enjoyed in a small but comfy lounge with great seating and a TV for your enjoyment. The lounge is housed in the same building as Tap That, a bar and game room. If Shelly is working the bar, and she will visit the lounge to see if guests need a cocktail or anything else from the bar, you MUST try her smoked Old Fashioned! I had mine made with Buffalo Trace and it was fantastic! While visiting the Cigar Lounge, I had the opportunity to chat with two of the partners who own and operate the house. Great conversation and a good time to be had. I enjoyed sticks from Avo, Fuente, Nub and others. If you need a place to retreat to and can't smoke at your rental, the ONLY cigar lounge on the island is the place to relax and enjoy!

The place was busy but the one bartender was very professional and managed the place well. The bar is very long. Plenty of seats at the bar along with some small tables in the back.

It is a local watering hole that is very casual. Everyone seemed friendly. It is in downtown so you have to find street parking or a garage for your car. They do take cash and plastic. Recommend.

There's a couple tables and a lounge area inside and it looks like an area set up for live music. They don't have a kitchen but you can buy cheese, meat, olives, pretzels, etc and you can bring your own food. The flights are reasonably priced, prices are clearly outlined, and the pours are heavy. Will definitely come back here when I am back in the area.
