what we offer your group
Birthdays & Reunions
Reserve a section of the dining room for family birthdays, class reunions, and milestone celebrations. Groups enjoy the full dinner menu with local seafood, Angus steak, and classic American plates. Friday and Saturday evenings include live music in the bar.
Weddings & Anniversaries
Couples planning a rehearsal dinner, anniversary party, or small wedding reception can work directly with Donna and Barry on seating, timing, and bar service. The waterfront setting faces Currituck Sound with views toward the lighthouse at Corolla. Share your date and guest count on our contact page or call ahead to discuss menu options.
Lodge Room Blocks
Out-of-town guests can book themed lodge rooms with covered access to the restaurant and bar. Each of our 12 rooms has a private bath, cable TV, free WiFi, and a refrigerator. Ask about room blocks when you call, and browse lodge rooms for photos and room themes before your event weekend. The bar area includes a dance floor, pool table, and NC Keno, which makes it easy to keep guests together after dinner.
