Restaurants near North Carolina State Wildlife Landing

Must make reservations of which we did or you will have a hard time getting in. We were asked if we were celebrating anything when we arrived and mentioned it was a birthday, but it wasn’t acknowledged in any way during our visit. That felt a bit strange, especially since they specifically asked. The overall experience was still enjoyable, though. The ambience was definitely the highlight — the intricate design, beautiful chandeliers, and mirrors created a stunning atmosphere that made the visit memorable. As for the food, the menu is somewhat limited, but the dishes were decent and satisfying. The service, however, was a bit slow both in terms of food delivery and waiting on us, which was a little frustrating. While the food wasn’t the standout feature, the restaurant’s atmosphere made up for it. All in all, a lovely place to visit for the ambience, but the service could use some improvement.

This place truly has something for everyone. First off, the space is massive, with plenty of seating to accommodate parties of all sizes. It’s also kid-friendly, though on a Friday night, the crowd was mostly adults, making it perfect for a date night. On this visit, we started with the pretzel bites with cheese dip and the tomato soup as appetizers—both were excellent. For our entrees, we tried the steak frites and the 36-hour ribs. The ribs were incredibly tender, practically falling off the bone, and the jalapeño molasses BBQ sauce was a standout. Don’t worry if you’re not a fan of spice—the sauce wasn’t spicy, just flavorful. As much as we wanted to try the monkey bread with vanilla ice cream for dessert, we were too full to even think about it! Our server, Angel, made the experience even better. He walked us through the menu, offering personal recommendations that added a great touch. He was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, the service was top-notch, and we left very impressed.

Out with my wife, Lisa for date night. She had the stuffed flounder. I had the extra large fillet. Medium rare lightly blackened. Cooked to perfection. We also tried the marbled potatoes, which were wonderful. Very large portions. She had the shrimp cocktail and I had the lobster bisque soup. Also tried the half dozen oysters. It was very busy that night. Even the manager, Jennifer sat us down. The other manager came by to say hello as well. Ross. We bought $100 gift card and they gave us a complementary $20 meal voucher for later which was nice. And to top it all off we had an amazing waitress named Haley. We have been there before and she always remembers what drinks we want. Had them ready for us at the table. A Prosecco and a double knob Creek Rye on ice. Never had an empty glass. Overall, I can only give this a five star rating only because they don’t have six stars on the app  A+ all around

This is my third time at this restaurant location. They got it right on all accounts! We had a reservation and was seated almost immediately. The waitstaff was professional, attentive and efficient. The food was really good. We brought friends there and they loved it. I can now say with confidence that I will be returning often.
