    $48 ribeye. Ordered medium rare, came out medium.
    Harry W.

    Was told a 45 min wait but the hostess said it would be before that and it was only 30 mins. I would rather be early than over the 45. Service was good and the place was clean. Didn't see the waiter as much as we wanted to but it looked like they were short staffed. It took a while for the dinner to come out but I can understand that with the amount of people there for the Big Rock Blue Marlin event. My only complaint was the steak. I asked for medium rare but got medium. It was seasoned very well. Everyone else's food was great.

    I came in here and had the Prime Rib Crostini. Was the best thing I have had here. And everything from the service, drinks to the food was amazing.

    We decided to stop in for New Year's Eve and take a chance at 5:00pm for a party of 5. Luckily they were able to accommodate. They sat us and we had a very attentive server, I'm sorry I forgot his name as it was a unique name. He continually made sure that we were well taken care of. We started with cocktails which were delicious. Three of us had a Painkiller and one had a Mich Ultra. The cocktails were a perfect start. I then had six oysters on the half shell since they are in season (any month with an r). The others had the Honey Pecan Shrimp. They said they were delicious. For dinner I had a Shrimp and Scallop Scampi dish. First off the dish was delicious with plenty seafood. From my picky foodie perspective I was expecting a few nice size scallops but there were quite a few of the small Bay Scallops. Also, the description was in a lemon caper sauce which was incorrect as it was a creamy Alfredo sauce with no capers. It was very creamy and cheesy and delicious so despite both of these observations, it was a good choice. The whole dinner would have been perfect with some nice warm fresh bread. The ambience is very nice and can be from casual to upscale. It is my understanding that this is another great choice from the restaurant group that owns Red Fish and Table 9. Give this establishment a try if in Morehead City. You won't be disappointed.

    Amazing atmosphere, food and service. Beet salad for the win. Lots of fresh seafood, we went with Oysters. Yummy

    Shrimp and scallop linguine

    Food was excellent. The ahi tuna burger was tasty. The aioli had just enough kick to be tasty, very flavorful. The fries were hot and tasty and plentiful.. The shrimp and linguine had lots of shrimp and was tasty as well. The service was great. Loved the atmosphere. Will need to go back for the oysters. Sorry for the blue tint on the pictures. No clue.

    Stuffed Mahi with mashed potatoes and squash

    My partner and I went here for a dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! super friendly and attentive staff who anticipated our every need. They answered all our questions and accommodated our drink preferences. Food was absolutely delicious and we'll be visiting again on our next vacation!

    Raw Oysters
    Justin R.

    Great spot down on the waterfront in Morehead City right across from the marina. The dining areas are really inviting and you can watch oysters being roasted over open flames while sipping ice cold water served in old woodford reserve bottles. The menu is pretty straightforward for what you would expect in a coastal town with lots of traditional options (shrimp tacos, tuna burgers, scampi, etc). The portions are pretty generous but it is a tad on the pricey side with raw oysters clocking in at $3 a piece and kids options ringing in at $12 per entree. I don't mind the premium if the service is commensurate and I will say that the entire staff did a great job. There was a little confusion after we were first seated and had to wait about 7 mins for our server to come over but after that she was on point. Everything was super tasty including the yellowfin tuna which was cooked perfectly and served over a bed of leafy greens with wasabi and sweet soy sauce. It could have used a side of some rice or something else given the $32 price point but it was definitely great. You can get basically the same thing with the tuna burger for $18 and it comes with fries. Overall it was a great meal and would definitely be a place we will visit again.

    Food was absolutely delicious. Only complaint was the slight grittiness of the shrimp scampi. Everything else was perfect. My waiter was charismatic and quite friendly. I loved the service. The ambiance was decent, but no amazing outdoor seating as the competitor's have. Tables have comfortable seating though. I'd you're looking for good seafood, this is a solid choice. Their specials always hit right.

    Cool wall mural

    Atmosphere was great and the service was as well! The shrimp tempura appetizer was amazing!! After noting to the waiter we had had less than stellar dinners they served a pasta dish with way overcooked shrimp. We sent them back, and the same was served!

    Jess M.

    This is one of the best in the area. Service is always good...it is a very nice, relaxed and cassier place. Their charbroiled oysters are a DEFINITE must. Everything else we've had here has also been excellent. It is great for date night and also for larger groups too. We come here often, for nicer occasions and also when we have a craving for the oysters.

    Husband was so excited to eat! Yummy ribeye and truffle Mac and cheese!
    Samantha W.

    AMAZING - DELICIOUS - FABULOUS STAFF Order the ribeye and the Mac and cheese, so amazing and delicious. Caesar salad was perfect with homemade croutons. We were SO PLEASED! The staff was so quick, friendly and helpful. Definetly visit here if you want a nice, delicious meal in a fun location near the water!

We ordered the Half Chef's Tour, which is their charcuterie, and it was honestly one of my favorite parts of the night. Great variety, really well balanced, and perfect for sharing. It set the tone for the whole meal. The scallop nightly special was perfectly cooked with that golden sear and super tender inside. The rosemary steak had so much flavor and was cooked exactly right. The Brussels were crispy and savory, and even the potstickers were a standout. Nothing felt like an afterthought. Service was perfect for the tapas setting too. Not rushed, we didn't feel over bothered, but not neglected either. Overall, it felt elevated but still comfortable. A great experience without feeling over the top. We'll definitely be back.

We arrived with a reservation (always a wise move), though we were seated immediately, greeted by a gracious host who set our lunch off on the right note. Once settled, we were welcomed by Philip, whose ease and genuine enthusiasm made the experience feel less transactional and more personal. He spoke about the menu with confidence and curiosity, the mark of someone who truly enjoys being there. Drinks came first: my husband ordered a Painkiller easily one of the best we had during our time on the coast while our son stuck with a classic Coke, and I opted for water. As we ordered, it became clear we were leaning fully into the small plates philosophy. When Philip smiled and dubbed us "tapas aficionados," it felt like an acknowledgment rather than a joke and in that moment, we felt perfectly at home. The table filled quickly. Spanish lamb meatballs arrived first, glazed with sriracha and paired with whipped feta and cilantro bold, balanced, and deeply satisfying. Pork pot stickers followed, tender and flavorful, with a soy-ginger dipping sauce and sweet Thai chili providing just the right contrast. The Gambas al Ajillo shrimp bathed in extra-virgin olive oil and garlic, served with crostini, was classic and comforting. But the standout was the Potatoes Bravas: sliced potatoes grilled to a crisp and finished with a spicy brava aioli. They were addictive in the best way, the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after the table is cleared. Circa 81 is polished yet relaxed, clean, and thoughtfully maintained, a place where the food arrives hot, the service feels human, and the atmosphere invites you to linger. It's a restaurant I would happily return to, and one that earned its place among my favorites on the Crystal Coast.

Aqua announces itself quietly, and even our brief misstep on arrival felt intentional an elegant sign gently redirecting us around back, where we later realized there's a convenient entrance directly across from the parking lot. A small discovery we tucked away for our next visit. From the moment we stepped inside, the hospitality set the tone. The host greeted us with genuine enthusiasm and an ease that made it clear he knew exactly why we were there. His warmth felt celebratory without being performative, just right. We were led to our table and introduced to Iesha, whose presence defined the evening. Iesha guided us through the menu with confidence and care, highlighting a thoughtful anniversary tradition: a complimentary glass of champagne or crème brûlée. We happily chose both. She struck that elusive balance of attentiveness and restraint present when needed, graciously invisible when not allowing the evening to unfold at its own pace. Our table sampled a range of the menu. The rare curry-seared local tuna arrived with curry riced cauliflower and traditional accompaniments unexpected in flavor but satisfying nonetheless. The The special for that evening, was rich and comforting. Even the simplest order, the kids' shrimp and fries was met with enthusiasm from our youngest diner, always a good sign. Aqua delivers food that is thoughtful, distinctive, and well-suited for a celebration. It's the kind of place that feels special without trying too hard a reliable choice for marking a meaningful moment. And when you go, do yourself a favor and ask for Iesha. She's the kind of server who turns a good dinner into a memorable one.

Two in our party had the small plate Filet over Truffle dusted hash browns (yummy) while another member had the clams in saffron sauce that was amazing. Another member asked to substitute the Grouper on the Crab Cake small plate which was no problem for the kitchen and wonderful tasting. We had Creme Brulee and Chocolate Mousse for dessert and both were awesome. We will definitely return to this restaurant in the future.

I did not ending up purchasing the fish but called later just to see if their stories would stay consistent and they said over the phone that all flounder was $5.99/pound and that they would weigh it after the cleaned it. I then told her I was the same person who tried to purchase the flounder earlier on special and she still made up different stories about what I was trying to purchase vs what was on the specials board. Felt like they were trying to take advantage of a local because maybe they thought I was a tourist. Very disappointed and will be taking all my seafood business to Captain Jim's instead.
