1587 Restaurant

The vibe is awesome. Right on the water, really nice. Our server was nice and attentive so was the guy that delivered the food. We started with the crab cake appetizer, three medium sized crab cakes with green apple and white onion on top and some kind of sauce. Delicious. Well prepared and very tasty. Nice crust on the cakes and great crab taste. My wife ordered the surf and turn bbq pork chop perfectly cooked and delicious. With a bbq sauce drizzle very nice and good sized. The Brussels sprouts were cooked well and very tasty balance to the sweet bbq. The shrimp was the only thing that could have been better and it wasn't because of the cook. They were cooked perfectly they were just sweet. Not a bad thing but to us didn't mix well with the bbq sauce drizzle very well. I ordered the ribeye perfectly medium rare over a bed of risotto with mushrooms and Demi sauce. Wow wow wow ate every bite they purposely didn't salt the risotto so the salt on the steak stood out. And it did it was a well executed plate We will return.

The service was very nice. We showed up an hour before our reservation hoping to get in because we were already hungry and what we had planned didn't take us as long. They seated us immediately and the server was excellent. We had the crab cakes which were the best seasoned crab cakes ever!! So good. I had the pork chops and my husband had the steak. Both exceptional. We are every bite so no room for dessert. (I only took a picture if the crab cakes)

Great food, we took a chance booking day of and we were able to get a reservation at the lounge section which was perfect, but the food was the star, everything was so tasty. Staff was amazing and everyone worked as a team which is always a plus.

We stopped into 1587 Restaurant for dinner on our first night in OBX. They were super busy at the bar and in the restaurant, so I would highly recommend reservations! We didn't have a reservation so we sat comfortably at the bar.We ordered the special margarita and a dirty martini. Both were tasty... My husband ordered the tomato soup, which he said was amazing!! We each ordered the fresh catch for our dinner. This was with Ahi Tuna steak served rare, with broccolini and rice. This was soooooo good. I would definitely order it again! For dessert we ordered an affogato which was delicious and refreshing. The perfect end to our meal. My only complaint was the bartender ignored me on a couple of occasions when I tried to speak to her. She seemed a bit overwhelmed, which I understand, but she acknowledged my husband and other patrons sitting at the bar. I was a little miffed, but that is okay. Our experience was great overall so we will be back!

Food and service were terrific. Dishes were creative yet not strange. Food was delivered at a nice pace with adequate portions.

Nice dining room, though a bit loud, with great views of the marina. Server staff is awesome. Had a very nice peach salad with goat cheese, pickled onions and pistachios as well as an excellent herb dressing. Dessert was an interesting riff on key lime pie. Only downside is they do not offer any vegetarian entrées.

The concierge at our Inn on Manteo recommended 1587 for our anniversary dinner, and we're glad she did. The experience was five-star in every way. The ambiance is understated elegance fitting for a beach setting. We had a lovely table with a water view. The menu is seafood focused, again as you would expect from this location. The drinks menu is eclectic, with something for everyone. My cocktail was well crafted and very tasty. The food was prepared well, from fresh ingredients. Our server (wish I could remember his name) was only three days on the job, but we never would have been able to tell, which speaks well of his training. The service was friendly and efficient without hovering. We felt the prices were very reasonable for the high level of service and food quality we received. In short, the next time we're in Manteo, we'll be back.

On the expensive side and with all those servers not sure why service is slow. Food was very good, daily fetch was fresh. Puréed eggplant was not going to work so they changed out for smashed potatoes. The fingerling potatoes are over the top!

since chiefs fans are petty losers and leaving fake negative reviews on CJ Gardner Johnson's mom's restaurant in Florida, I just wanna say this restaurant is EXCELLENT!!! And the owners caught an EXCELLENT WHOOPING!! God bless your hearts, Missour! GO BIRDS!!!

Arrive on time for our reservation. Seated immediately, we ordered a cocktail when seated. It took 25 mins to get. They kept wanting to take our order before our cocktails showed up. A couple different waitresses were waiting on us. Our food was delicious. We will be going back. Hopefully won't have to wait as long for a cocktail which was divert tasty.
