This is a place that I end up every trip to Beaufort since my friend who lives here come here often…read morebecause it's one of their favorite places. It's a wine bar and they have a small store, along with the stage for live music, but overall it has a nice chill ambience with some great bartenders and very favorable prices on all of the adult beverages that you can order up along with a small collection of food offerings. The staff is always super pleasant and you feel like you've known them even though you just met them.

Big Daddy Grocery can be a bit intimidating, I'm not going to lie. Every time I visit Beaufort and…read moreventure off of the waterfront for something, I pass by this place and tend to be reminded of several "stab and grab" convenience stores during my travels, but during the day, I decided that I would give this place a try... plus I had hubs with me so I felt a bit safer. Honestly, this was a fun convenient store that made me question my first judgement. I probably wouldn't venture here at night alone, but during the day, it had all of the things we needed: paper towels, ice, and some snacks. Nothing special about Big Daddy's, except maybe the name, and the Christmas decor on the outside, but it did meet our needs on this Sunday afternoon in Beaufort.

Unless "bigger" is also the absolute best batter ever, and the onions are just-right textures. Ok, yeah, not "health food" so balance it out with the mahi dish, fabulous. You get MASSIVE onion rings, alongside a properly-sized Mahi with the best coconut mango rice and beans you will ever eat. We arrived 15 minutes before closing and felt badly until they also seated an 8-top with us and were super friendly and accommodating. Excellent. Wish we lived closer.

On our table was the ever popular Blowing Rock Burger, a fresh tasting Mahi Mahi, a blackened mahi with mango salsa, sweet chili sauce coconut jasmine rice and vegetables, shrimp and grits, salad with steamed shrimp, but the show stopper had to be the Shrimp Mac & Cheese, a four-cheese cream sauce over cavatappi pasta with bacon & scallions & topped with fried shrimp. The breading was light and crisp and complemented the four cheeses so nicely.

Good selection of local brews. We started with the Calabrian Hummus ($11) and it was a generous serving and my bride really liked the pita chips. For entrees, I went with the Seared Local Tuna ($27) and it was excellent. My bride went with the Fresh Catch Grouper ($34) and she enjoyed it but thought it was a little pricey for the serving size. She also commented she thought it would have better if the orzo was served warm along with the fish (it was chilled). Service from Ieisha was super friendly. We would love to come back again when in town!

We chose Aqua Restaurant for our anniversary dinner, guided by the kind of recommendations that…read morematter most: a local in the know and a friend who never tires of Beaufort. 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.
