Shrimp cocktail and shrimp ball
Ashley C.

Everything was absolutely amazing and then some. The food was fresh and light and exactly what you expect from Vivian Howard who is true to her roots and using fresh, local ingredients. The restaurant itself is stunning and the view of the sound was breathtaking. The service was fast but not intrusive throughout the evening.

10 layer chocolate cake

Anyone who rates this place less than 5 stars is crazy. First, the restaurant is gorgeous. It's beautifully decorated and the layout is not too cramped, but not too spaced out. Beautiful views from wherever you sit. Our server Jaden was OUTSTANDING!! That girl is a truly talented server! She knew everything about the menu, the ingredients, and every question could be answered with an encyclopedia-like response. She deserves a raise. The food was just... fabulous. We loved everything from the craft cocktails, to the oysters, our entrees (GET THE PORCHETTA) and the 10 layer chocolate cake! Truly all to die for. Can't say enough wonderful things about this place. So sad it's our last night in Duck or we would come back in a few days!

Some lagniappe from the kitchen

We stayed at the wonderful Sanderling resort & were lucky to get reservations the last week that Theodosia's was open this year... And, even luckier, we sat at the chef's table for our meal! We started off with the tuna tartar app, served with home made potato chips and a grilled romaine salad. The kitchen gifted us with a nice treat, two DOWN EAST LIGHT ROLLS with Ashe Co. cheddar cheese curds, apple preserves- My wife got the shrimp & grits souffle & I got the fish toast - this food, as good as anything I've ever eaten, with wonderful service & the bonus of sitting at the Chef's Table

Roasted oysters and marmalade rolls
Katie S.

Amazing experience!! Great view overlooking the sound at sunset. I thought it was going to feel overpriced but actually reasonable for 5 of us including drinks and wine. Obsessed with the dinner rolls with marmalade!!! Also had the lemon pie for dessert which was delicious

Fish Toast
Kerri W.

Theodosia exceeded our expectations! Honestly, we hadn't even looked at the menu before I made the reservations. Just knowing it was a Vivian Howard restaurant, I knew we had to eat there considering it was my first trip to OBX. The building itself is funky & the decor seemed dated in our opinion. We have no idea if the decor was from a previous restaurant or totally renovated. We were seated at a two top table lined side by side. They were placed too closely together as we had to listen to the conversation of the couple beside us. A little more space would be appreciated for what you paid. A busy Friday night, it took our waitress a little while to greet us & she seemed a little distracted/uninterested during that initial interaction. But as the evening wore on, she opened up more & redeemed herself. (I reminded myself & my husband that you never know what someone is going through, so give them a chance.) Food was absolutely amazing!! Each item, including the unique cocktails contained ingredients we were unfamiliar with (or let alone pronounce). The ceviche starter was a combination of interesting ingredients, including scuppernong grapes & pork rinds! I went with our waitress' recommendation of Fish Toast with Succotash. I couldn't tell where the fish ended & toast began! Somewhat simple description & presentation, but incredibly complex taste! It was melt in your mouth divineness (if that isn't a word, I'm making it one)! My husband enjoyed his Fresh Catch Special - Grouper with Smoky Tomato Sauté. It was delicious, although he said he preferred the complex flavors or my dish more. Added bonus - the sunset was beautiful out the back window! We would definitely go back when in OBX!

Blueberry BBQ Duck

We're so glad we decided to have dinner here, even though we were told that the reviews were mixed on both food and service. The food was off the charts delicious, the service was attentive (though not rushed, which we prefer), and the view couldn't be beat. We used to come to this location when it was Kimball's Kitchen but stopped (because the food/service didn't live up to the obnoxiously expensive price points). So glad that Theodosia is here instead - the food is thoughtful and creative, the vibe is warm, and the overall experience was delightful. We hope to be back next season!

Shrimp + Grits

The food was absolutely incredible. Not a thing we tried that we didn't enjoy! Beautiful sunset over the water was an added bonus.

We were so lucky to be able to sit at the chef's counter. Watching Chef Jonathan and his amazing staff was a joy! The food was delicious, the ambience lovely and the experience magical.

Baked oysters

The baked oysters were the best I've ever had in my entire life. The service was amazing and you have to give it a try!

Peach and blackberry cobbler

Best restaurant in Obx! Will come here anytime we're in town. Highly recommend the clam chowder, frogmore stew and peach cobbler. Sit by the kitchen if you can, the staff is incredibly friendly.

Simply sensational! We came from VA Beach for Fathers Day dinner, and it was worth the 2 hour drive! Our server Lexy was fantastic and gave wonderful recommendations. We had the Ceviche and Bluefish appetizers. For our mains we got the Porchetta, Shrimp and Grit Soufflé and the Flounder Toast - all three were outstanding! We will definitely be back!

Our entrees! Marc got the pan-seared black cobia and I got the crab & zucchini papardelle. 4/5 food!

See all

The menu definitely lets you know that the chef is thoughtful about each component to every dish…read more There are sweet elements tied to savory elements and enough heat or acidity to address the different proteins. I really enjoyed each of the dish and all the beers that are on a tap is the highlight of the restaurant. There are two long tables in the middle for larger groups. The seats are surrounded by TVs and a great spot for the family. The second shift breakfast burger is delicious! The Pork belly BLT is also more refined and will please finer palates. The crispy apple jack chicken has all the ingredients for a delicious sandwich. But I would replace the 3 chicken tenders for a large chunk of chicken breast. That would make the sandwich perfect. If you're looking for a great restaurant for the family during your vacation... take a ride and check it out!

We've stopped here for lunch after an excursion to see the wild horses of Corolla. By then, we…read morewere fairly hungry. Not only did this place provided the remedy for our hunger, it also made us a return customer in the future. Besides the fantastic food offerings, they have a wall of beer on the tap to try out. There must've been over a dozen of different brews on tap on the wall. The staff was attentive to our needs, and the pricing was competitive. Portions were very large. Be sure to try out the Angry Chicken Sandwich, it is a unique tasty treat!
