Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Southern Shores

Our dinner overlooking the Sound at Aqua was amazing. The warm bread, several appetizers, steaks and finally the peanut butter pie. Literally one of the best desserts my wife and I have ever had. The service in particular Gwen were top notch as well. Can’t wait to go again the next time we are in Duck.

On our pre valentines day dinner our four dinners drove 1:45 minutes to our go to special occasion, Aldos. We were 20 minutes early but immediately greeted and seated, and server reached the table within a minute. We were offered beverage choices and appetizers which arrived quickly and provided with menus and info on specials. Sabrina was a personable, knowlegeable, well trained and eager server who represents the high values of the restaurant. Everything was delivered to the table timely, hot , well prepared and presented. Salmon, veal and veal parmigian were all excellent and focacia bread and mussels were great accompaniments. The meal concluded with apple pie, peach cobbler and creme brulee. Our experiences at Aldos over 20 years have always been good to outstanding but this experience was the BEST ever. Thank you for a total dining experience and look forward to next visit.

Why dine anywhere else in Kitty Hawk? Food superbly prepared and presented, service so personable. No wonder it has a strong local clientele and no wonder that visitors like us make it our go-to place when in town.

This is my 2nd time ever going to Eurasia in the 34 years that I've lived here in Hampton Roads. Each visit was as a gift. My daughter had treated me about 15 years ago (just her & I) for my birthday which was a wonderful experience. She had eaten at Eurasia before and she was excited to introduce me to some new (new to me) delectables. I don't remember exactly what she had ordered for us but they were items I had never tried before & I definitely remember how delicious everything was. This recent visit was also a gift to me & my husband from my daughter & son-in-law for Christmas 2024. We saved it for Valentine's Day & chose to go for a nice 12:30 pm lunch the day before hoping that it would be not be too busy so that we could enjoy our conversations & the amazing food that we were so looking forward to tasting...it turned out to be absolutely perfect. Our server Melissa was so sweet & took excellent care of us. She was right on time with checking in with us for everything (the food, checking on drink refills & if we needed anything...). We had not eaten breakfast so we were pretty hungry. What we ordered was more like a yummy smorgasbord which we enjoyed soooo much. Appetizers: Fried Eastern Shore Oysters with Old Bay Tartar & Oysters Eurasia with spinach, bacon, cream cheese, panko & parmesan on the half-shell. Our Entrees: #1 - Grilled 48-hour Short Rib with honey-roasted sweet potato, creamed kale, spiced pecans, & honey brown butter #2 - Grilled Atlantic Salmon with Israeli couscous, peas, shaved fennel, fresh basil, lemon pesto, beurre blanc. Melissa had given us some small plates so that we could enjoy a little bit of this & a little bit of that. We had so much fun taking our sweet time sharing our little Valentine's Day feast with each other. Everything was so amazing. Thank you! We will be back again very soon!

From the hostess, who seated us to the personal attention of Dylan, our waiter we had exceptional service throughout. The meal is always was Outstanding, and the wine suggestion for pairing was spot on. We always enjoy our time at this restaurant and look forward to our next meal.
