“Wow! What an incredible dining experience. Kim, our gracious innkeeper, at the Inn on Turner, assisted us with our reservation at Blue Moon Bistro. Celebrating our anniversary, my husband and I were looking for a special dining experience. Blue Moon Bistro exceeded all expectations. The service was excellent, we were warmly welcomed and shown to a table in a quiet corner. Our server, Lara, was amazing, giving us recommendations and allowing us to take our time, and enjoy our evening. We feasted on the Cassoulet and Pork Osso Bucco - there are no pictures, as we were too busy enjoying our meals. For dessert they treated us to a delicious crème brulee, made to perfection. Will we return? Without a doubt. Would we recommend it? Absolutely, 100%.“

“I hate to even write a review about this place. Because it truly is a honey hole. Best restaurant I’ve ever been too. And I’ve been to thousands. We go to a new place almost every weekend.I hate to write this review because I don’t want to expose blue Herron for the dining experience that it really is - but it is fine because it is a 5 star dining experience. If you don’t prefer the beef medallions you are missing out. If anyone in your party is thinking about ordering it - do it. You will not get anything less than Amazing here.This is my 5th time here and felt compelled to write this reviews because it is phenomenal and you are missing out if you don’t try it. But I ask that you please don’t share with all of your friends because if word gets out you WILL NOT be able to eat here without a reservation months/ years in advance. This is a Michelin star caliber restaurant.“

“What a cool spot! The service is excellent and the food was fresh and tasty. We're not huge fans of fried food so we wish there was an option for blackened or grilled on the flounder. They have a nice selection of IPAs and the place is straight up like a saloon!“

“City Kitchen isn't on the main strip of Beaufort but tucked onto the second floor of the Marina. We were seated outside and had a gorgeous view of the water at sunset. Our waitress Dana was incredibly friendly. The vegetarian Korean bowl and the famous toffee dessert were a hit. We would come back again!“

“The Beaufort Grocery is my favorite restaurant in Beaufort, NC. I visit Beaufort for work and always eat at this wonderful restaurant. I also bring back to Tampa the Gouda cheese spread. I start with the cheese spread and see what specials they have. Last time I stuck with the Pan-Seared Duck Breast but you can't go wrong with anything they serve. They have a tiny bar but will make you anything you want. Service is fantastic! Wish I could visit for brunch!“

“I eat here from time to time. I'd love to eat here more but it is cash only and I rarely carry cash. The food has always been good as well as the service. Seafood is a little pricey especially to eat here weekly but it is fresh so there is that. Definitely recommend.“

“We had an amazing dinner here! The menu is robust with many options to choose from. The service was quick and attentive. The seafood bisque is a must-have--super creamy with tons of lump seafood in it. Other tables had salads that looked huge and delicious, I'd like to try one next time! As my husband said, "this is the best food we've had at a restaurant down here!"“

“We loved Blackbeard! The food was delicious. The Oysters Rockefeller and Parmesan crusted oysters appetizers were great for sharing and very tasty. The fried shrimp and scallops were a nice size, not overly breaded, crispy, and delicious. The ahi tuna was absolutely incredible. If it is on special, I recommend ordering it. The seafood bisque is creamy, rich, and flavorful. Not pictured is the ribeye. It was seasoned, cooked, and seared perfect. A special shout out to Carol, our waitress for the fantastic service. She was very friendly offering great suggestions with the menu, our food was served hot, and our drinks were never empty.“

“I love the food at Ribeyes. The waitresses are great. The chef is superb. The atmosphere is good. I liked the food so much that I wanted to meet the chef and thank him personally. He will come to our table when we eat there and check to make sure everything is okay. New to Ribeyes and this means a lot to me and my family. I always want to give praise when praise is deserved. Good job, Ribeyes!“

“What a great experience we had. First and foremost is the gorgeous view of the water. You feel like you're in a boat because you're so close. Dining and watching the ducks diving was awesome. We arrived at around 5pm on a Friday in March without a reservation and we were lucky enough to get a window table. I'm not sure if that's always the case, so call ahead if the view is important to you. I think this would be a great place to go on a date.The menu is fairly small. However, my husband and I both easily found a couple of options we were happy with. I had the ahi tuna tacos and he had the jerk chicken and wedge salad. When I tell you everything was delicious, I mean amazing. Every single aspect of each dish was spot on and well thought out. Our server, Gypsy, was lovely too. Just the right amount of friendly and very professional. We would like to return to Beaufort just to dine here again and have the same meal!We ordered the strawberry bread pudding to share and it was so very delicious. It was so big that we couldn't quite finish it unfortunately. The bread pudding has fresh tasting strawberries throughout, a strawberry frosting (cream cheese perhaps?), plus whipped cream. So good.The location is right at the beginning of Front Street at number 300, so it's easy to find. I don't usually gush so much over a restaurant, but when it's so good, plus reasonably priced as this one is, I like to spread the joy.“

“We were a bit hesitant when we saw the limited lunch menu available on the covered porch as we were there at 2. But I would go back today and order the exact same thing! The Jamaican wings had the best flavor and were crispy. Their ranch and blue cheese was thick and on point and must be homemade. The grilled pimento cheese w bacon was so rich and creamy on delicious nutty bread. For my side I had the cucumber salad which had onions and peppers in a vinaigrette and was perfect to cut the richness of the pimento cheese. It was such a good combination! I did not get a picture of the shrimp tacos my friend had but she said they were delicious too.“
