    Best pizza in eastern North Carolina. 10/10 service. 10/10 vibes. Perfect view/location.

    Breakfast Sandwich Torched

    We have been Jack's regulars for several years. Lunch, dinner & and Sunday brunch. You name it we are there. So much so, I bought a sweatshirt on the way in to today's visit to show my support. We know restaurants can't always be exceptional every visit but today's brunch visit was poor on several levels. The margarita pizza crust was paper thin, wiggly and raw. It was so weak it wouldn't hold toppings. The breakfast sandwich was served obviously torched. I'm surprised it made it passed the expo and server and made it to the table. The day outside on the deck was beautiful tho. I've added photos/videos to support this review.

    Went here for lunch. The inside on the second floor is very nice. Good view of the ocean and a good pizza and local beer.

    Super delicious

    We enjoyed the service and food on our visit. The sunset view the night we came by was stunning!

    Excellent thin crust pizza! We also had their max & cheese with meatball skillet. M&C was really good. Meatballs good but nothing to write home about. Service was good. We will be back.

    No toppings can stay aboard

    Chicken Salad Sandwich

    Stars based on price vs portions mainly. At this point in COVID & Big Rock, I'd say this was otherwise Pimento cheese skillet was laughable. Portions of fries were super small. Siracha wings were out so our friend went boneless and I think that was the best thing on the table. Waitress Kat was hands down the best part of our visit. She's awesome.

    The waterfront top roof bar was a cool spot to grab drinks w friends. The view is beautiful and relaxing.

We ordered the duck fat fries, blistered shishitos, pork belly burnt ends, tuna Takati, and dry ranch, smoked wings, fried green tomatoes and the fungus among us flatbread. Every single appetizer that we sampled was prepared to perfection. The ones that stood out were the fried green tomatoes and the blistered shishitos.

The restaurant is super cute with unique decorations and will def be back to try their entrees when in the area again. The food coming out looked amazing!

This place is the real deal. You definitely pay a lot. However, the food is absolutely worth the price you pay. This is a restaurant that talks the talk and walks the walk. The wedge salads is beyond comprehension how good it is. The bread is transcendent. I got the dry aged steak and my wife got the wagyu. Both were true to definition fine dining. My wife insisted on the truffle fries as a shareable side and by gosh they were the best fries ever had...that being said...wagyu 5oz is $130. You aren't going wrong here.

The bartender was busy working and singing in between taking orders as she prepared drinks for customers. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and offered the specials before we placed our order. We love to sample the menu when we travel and the vast menu of tapas gave us the perfect opportunity to try just about everything. They had a smaller wine selection, but there was something for just about everyone. Our waiter was very attentive and offered suggestions on what to try if we were torn between several menu options. The Spanish lamb meatballs, truffle honey pork belly and rosemary beef were the tapas that stood out as the most flavorful and making us each want just one more bite. The Spanish meatballs were glazed with sriracha which caused me to pause before ordering. However, I'm so happy that we gave them a try. They had a bold flavor, but the whipped feta and cilantro were enough to balance the heat. The truffle honey pork belly was sliced differently. We have only had this cut into cubes at other restaurants in the past. The way that they slice the pork belly is so much better. The pork belly was served with cheese grits. We don't even like cheese grits, but could not get enough of these smoked Gouda grits. The rosemary beef with asparagus and mashed potatoes was perfect. The beef was tender, the asparagus cooked to perfection and who doesn't love mashed potatoes. We visit the crystal coast about twice a year and always try a couple of new places. We look forward to coming back to Circa 81 each time that we visit!

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.

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.
