    Food, service and selection is world class. Thoughtful cocktails, bespoke wine offerings and stunning decor as well. This is our "special" place, but I will never turn down any opportunity to enjoy The Undercurrent. Be it lunch, brunch or dinner, you are in for a treat.

    We really loved our first visit to Undercurrent. I say first because we'll definitely be back. The most obvious benefit is that it's a couple of blocks from the Tanger Performing Arts Center. That being said, we enjoyed every aspect of our dinner. The service was top notch. There was a variety of food options, and we really loved every bite. The tuna starter was delicious, and we had trout and salmon wish were both beautifully presented and absolutely delicious!
