Best restaurants near me in Swansboro

My wife and I dined at Low Tide to celebrate her birthday. Everything about the evening was GREAT! The young staff was wonderfully kind and efficient, our orders were brought to us promptly, and the food was OUTSTANDING! My wife was thrilled with the salad bar while I had a tuna appetizer. She then had sirloin and grilled shrimp and couldn't have been more pleased. I had the crab cake dinner...being from Maryland originally, I am hesitant to order crab cakes out of that region, but these were right up there with the best I've ever had (plenty of crab meat as opposed to filling). I felt like I was dining back in Baltimore or Annapolis! Low Tide is our "go-to" place two or three times a year for special occasions. THANK YOU LOW TIDE!!!

Great service, kind helpful people. Beautiful veranda, delish bourbon, great food, stunning views!

This place is amazing. Yes, it's a little pricey, but OMG the food is stupendous. The steaks are so tender they practically melt in your mouth. All of the food is just delicious. The service is impeccable. And the added bonus of a treat for our anniversary with a card signed by everyone. Just a sweet touch. All around the best experience for a special occasion. However, I also must say that we often go just to sit at the bar and eat appetizers and chat with the bartender. Such a friendly place.

Wonderful dinner at Circa 81. Service, ambiance drinks and food were all so inviting. Creative menu, lots of choices to share.

We dined at Blue Moon last night and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our server, Judy, was so helpful and guided us to great choices from cocktails to wine, then entree and desserts. We both enjoyed the grouper which was prepared to perfection. We will definitely be enjoying this perfect gem of a restaurant again.
