Po House, Good Eats Libations, Sound Side Dining

Nice dining spot in Avon, we were staying up in Rodanthe and the options were slim. On our trip we ate at quite a few local places many of whom seemed to largely serve frozen and fried fish. This place was a welcome exception, everything wasbeautifully prepared and very fresh. Crab cakes were excellent as were the potato smashers. On the back deck you have a niceview of the sunset and water and are fairly sheltered from the predominant winds. Inside was quite noisy though. It's not hugeso there may be a decent wait... Easily the best meal we had in our week on the outer banks.

After reading all the glowing reviews we decided to try it out. Monday night and the parking lot was full. Hour wait which didn't take that long and we spent some of the time at the bar. Well worth the wait since the reviews do not do this placejustice. We had the seafood bisque and hummus, which was a basil hummus. After reading about how amazing the bisque was, it waseven better. Nothing overwhelmed another flavor, just pieces of seafood in a perfect broth. The hummus was fresh and flavorfulwith cucumber, celery, carrots and some perfect flour tortilla chips. I had the Fish Sammy for dinner,, which was spade fishtoday. The cornmeal coating was crisp, the fish was vey good(I'd not had that fish beforel. Cole slaw, remoulade, tomato-allwent together perfectly. A little messy, but that is part of the meal. My wife had the flounder with summer veggies and potatosalad. She loved it too. And the view was great too!

Can't speak highly enough of this family owned restaurant. First, the location on the bay was perfect for a sunset dinner. The location was then topped by the personal service. Everyone was so kind and accommodating. Even if the these weren't enough, thefood was top of the line. Crab cakes were off the chart. Even the simple dish of hummus was perfect. I am sending my brother andsister in law there tomorrow. Worth a stop every time.

What a great find! We were referred here by a local lady that said we should go if we were looking for something different and a little more unique. First, we were blown away by the view! It's gorgeous especially around sunset! As soon as we walked in, wewere greeted and told there would be a little bit of a wait but we quickly got drinks at the bar. The watermelon margarita wassuper fresh and not overly sweet which was perfect! For dinner, we each got a bowl of crab bisque and it was phenomenal! Nocrackers were needed! For the entree, we got the fish and chips. Yum! The fish was baked and topped with salt vinegar potatochips. What a different approach! I like that it wasn't fried but still had a nice crunch and was so full flavor. We can't waitto go back!

Holy cow! This place is amazing. First, they offered us an eggplant appetizer which the chef created based on some fresh produce they got in. It was fantastic. The sauces that they made with it were really good. I ordered the braised pork and the portionwas much larger than I expected. It was cooked to perfection. My wife ordered the shrimp pasta which she really liked aswell. The overall experience was great too. The staff was very attentive and on top of our empty drinks. I'd say my onlycomplaint is that the restaurant was very loud. I had a hard time hearing my wife who was directly across from me. I think theroom could use something to dampen the sound. Other than that I think this place is great. We will definitely be coming backnext time we're in the OBX and will be recommending to all of our friends. Thanks for a great evening.
