    Our dinner overlooking the Sound at Aqua was amazing. The warm bread, several appetizers, steaks and finally the peanut butter pie. Literally one of the best desserts my wife and I have ever had. The service in particular Gwen were top notch as well. Can’t wait to go again the next time we are in Duck.

    It was our first trip to the Outer Banks, and we went to the Village Table and Tavern for my wife's birthday. We had a wonderful server, a perfect table by the water, and we really enjoyed our meal. We shared the Chicken and Waffles appetizer. It was very good. The tenders were a little rubbery (probably because they were frozen); however, the breading on the tenders was INCREDIBLE and the maple syrup was fabulous. The waffles were also very good. So, an 8/10 there. Then, we split the Roasted Half Chicken with amazingly good mashed potatoes, and we subbed the green beans for the broccoli au gratin. The chicken was good, but the broccoli was out of this world. We ordered an additional side of it, just to have some more. So, a 10/10 on the entree and additional side of broccoli au gratin. My wife was tired, so we didn't do a dessert for her birthday. It was a great experience, and we will definitely return on our next trip to the OBX.
