The dining room itself is intimate and quiet with a mix of smaller tables ideal for couples and some larger tables. Reservations are recommended as it is not a large dining room. The food was very good and the service was excellent. There is a nice selection of cocktails on the menu and some nice wine choices. The biggest negative - I felt that the meal was pricey for what we got but overall we enjoyed our dinner.

Also, my husband and I asked to share an appetizer and the portion was extremely generous, a nice touch! When it comes to the negatives, most of what I am going to point out has been mentioned previously in other reviews with the establishment ensuring efforts will be made for improvement. If I were to describe this place in a sentence I would say " fine dining with cheap gastro-pub atmosphere ". Waiting staff needs training in BASIC waiting skills such as, don't plop main course dishes on the table while guests are still eating their appetizers ( that was a first. never happened to us before ). Another faux pas , getting the bill while still enjoying our delicious desserts. Staff was running to and fro and in the relatively small space and it creates a chaotic atmosphere. The place is also extremely loud but diners tend to speak loudly at restaurants, very different in Europe. Finally, I made this reservation a few weeks ago to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. A big deal. From the website I was expecting fine dining with a refined atmosphere where guests are treated with careful attention to details . These simple courtesies make all the difference but unfortunately they are lacking. If the food is great but the overall experience is not, you won't remember the food, you'll remember the experience.

We were unofficially judging grilled cheese and mac and cheese all week, and this one absolutely held its own. I ordered the Smash Burger Pizza, and I was skeptical until the first bite. It somehow captures all the flavors of a really good smash burger, complete with the tangy "special sauce" flavor, pickles, beef, cheese, and onions, but on a wood-fired pizza crust. It sounds a little ridiculous on paper. It works. I also accidentally ordered one of their cannabis-infused cocktails because I apparently skipped over an important word on the menu. It did exactly what it promised without sending me into another dimension, which was appreciated. The only downside was that I spent the rest of the evening happily eating leftover Smash Burger Pizza and wondering why anyone would order anything else. The atmosphere was laid back, the service was friendly, and we'll always say anything positive about anyone who helps take care of our sweet little one. We'd happily come back the next time we're in Manteo. Don't let the current rating scare you away. We almost did, and we'd have missed out on one of our favorite meals of the trip.

I've been here with a party of 12 before, and we definitely waited a while, but I was impressed that they were able to accommodate a group that size. This time, I was with a party of two and we were seated pretty quickly. My one complaint about the wait system is that they announce when your table is ready, but if you're out of earshot, you'll miss it. It would be nice if they used a text, call, or buzzer system so you could walk down to the beach while you wait. Part of the pier seating is covered, but the farther you go out, the more exposed you are. We were seated near the end, so it was hot in the direct sun and very windy. But that comes with the territory, and the views make it worth it. There are also plenty of birds hoping you'll share your fries with them, which is both expected and pretty funny. We each ordered a Pain Killer. It was good at first, but it quickly became watered down, and I didn't think it was worth $10. We also got the nachos, but the price adds up quickly once you start adding toppings. Most of the menu is very à la carte. The prices seem reasonable at first, but sides and toppings can add up fast. The burgers don't come with fries, for example. We both got the West Coast Burger. It was good, but nothing particularly memorable. Service was attentive and generally friendly. Overall, Fish Heads is one of the better dining options in the area. The pier setting and views really make the experience unique. I enjoy coming here and will likely be back.

We weren't sure if kids were allowed at captain andys but the host said it was fine. The male host was the nicest person there and he should've been the one running the place because our waitress wasn't good at her job at all. The calamari was just ok but not very tender. It was very windy in the restaurant so stuff was blowing everywhere. We had two grilled cheeses, fries, a bbq sandwich and a shrimp po boy and it took over an hour to get our food. Service was very slow, it was not a warm or friendly environment. They're more dedicated to getting people drunk. A guy near our table was loudly talking on the phone and using profanity. The restaurants here can be hit or miss.

They were accommodating for a large party so that was a plus. Ordering took about 30 mins to get out our food, there was a mix up with the ticketing but it was resolved. My order was unimpressive, it was like a small paddy sitting in cheezewhiz, my bun was burnt, and fries were greasy soggy, the other order was the fish, and that was probably the best thing to order, it was crispy and tasteful. the wings were decent, a little light on the sauce but palatable. they only had diet drinks in, and had very few choices. i really felt the price was not justified for the price and service. Our server was polite but slow, and 3 of the other orders were forgotten because the cook thought they were the same... that's what we were told, so it took a while longer for the rest of the order to come out. Most likely won't be coming back.
