    My waitress Ellie and Sandra were great. The Moscow Mule was fantastic. I ordered the artisanal cheese plate. And for $18. It really didn’t live up to my expectations. There wasn’t a balance between the cheeses and accoutrement on the plate. everything was very salt heavy and presentation was lacking. Perhaps there should’ve been some grapes or fruit not a chutney on the plate.

    Amazing as usual. Can't wait to go back. The wild board meatloaf was the highlight of the night.

    Our server was completely amazing and very attentive. The food was lacking flavor and even ordering a salad was lackluster to say the least especially for the prices.

    This is our favorite restaurant in OBX! We have been coming to the Outer Banks for over 40 years and OB is the one restaurant we consistently visit on every trip since it opened. The food is consistently fresh, creative and fantastic, the wait staff friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere casual but sleek. Looking forward already to the next visit.

    We had a fabulous experience at Ocean Blvd. We entertained and impressed our out of town guests from Nantucket. We have returned four times since this spring, introducing different friends each time to a wonderful, delicious and fun time at the chef’s counter.

    The food and drinks were excellent. The service was the same. The overall experience was even better. It's not inexpensive, but worth the price. We'll be back again.

    We love this place! Sat at the Chef's Table and had a blast with the kitchen staff. A wonderful, hardworking crew to say the least!! Our food was outstanding...ordered the Chef's seafood special for the day...yellow fin tuna. Cooked to perfection.
