North Carolina native, award-winning chef, and New York Times best-selling author Vivian Howard will introduce her latest culinary concept, Theodosia, at The Sanderling Resort, slated to open Memorial Day weekend.

The waterfront setting invites guests to ponder her fate as she journeyed from SC to NY in the early 19th century.The dining room will feature rich, feminine textures, soft lighting, and views of the Currituck Sound’s endless horizon. The menu will celebrate the region’s salt marshes and fishing heritage, blending tradition with Howard’s signature innovative Southern cuisine.

    We have lived in Duck for over 4 years and just haven’t had a chance to make it to Aqua. I know, crazy! We just have our favorites and automatically gravitate to them. However, it was my wife’s birthday and she wanted to try something new so Aqua it was! We went early to avoid the crowds, but with the weather, it was pretty empty anyway. For starters, the bread was excellent! The butter was soft and easily spreadable! Don’t you hate that chilled butter that breaks the bread in pieces?! Anyway, I ordered the Filet and my wife ordered the Roasted Chicken. My Filet was excellent! Perfectly cooked inside and out! It was so delicious I almost cried! Yea, it was that good! I Loved the cubed potatoes as well! The broccolini was awful! Don’t eat that! Well, unless you like green vegetables! My wife enjoyed her meal as well and the chicken was also cooked to perfection. She liked the broccolini so I gave her mine! ;) The service was also amazing. Brian was our waiter and he helped with our selections and he was very friendly. Hopefully, we get him next time! Honestly, we’ve been missing out! Especially since it’s so close to home! Now, the prices are high, but not unreasonable. We couldn’t afford to go there all the time but definitely for special occasions and when guests come to visit! Anyway, I highly recommend! *****

    Lots of nice menu options. Enjoyed the roasted garlic bisque. Focaccia was equally lovely. Unique bourbon selections (they have Blanton’s)!
