 Best seafood in NC, a foreign visitor's review 5/2/2008
Reviewer: PJ from Taiwan
|
I am not a local. I am not an American but I love the seafood there.
I came from a place with a lot of seafood and seafood is used to be my everyday dinning. I have stayed in USA for 2 years and I think Basnight is the best seafood restaurant in NC in terms of quality of food. Its service and atmosphere may not be the best but if you are looking for really fresh seafood, it is the place. Oh, BTW, i think it has the best money-to-value in Outer Bank area as well.

Love it! 3/23/2008
Reviewer: Seasentinel from Ashburn, VA

I have been going here since 1997 and have never had a bad meal...ever. They used to have a carrot raisin salad that I loved but when I went there the next year for my birthday they no longer carried. I told them it was my birthday and they made it special for me and went out of their way to make the rest of the lunch outstanding. I've never had bad service here either. I always go there at least twice a year.

 worse Valentine's ever 2/16/2008
Reviewer: Natalia Goninan from Point Harbor, NC
|
My husband has lived on the OBX for 20 years, and I've been here for 3. So we've both heard about excellent reputation of this place, plus we've been there several times before it reopened last year, and we liked it. That's why we picked Lone Cedar for Valentines Day. Our reservation was for 8pm, we arrived @ 7.45. There was a HUGE line of people with reservations!!! It took them 1,5 hours just to seat us... Than it took the waitress 20 minutes just to bring our drinks... There was about 10 entrees on the menu, 7 of which were seafood (my husband doesn't eat seafood). One was chicken w/mushrooms (he is allergic to mushrooms), one - pork, and one - prime rib. They were out of pork and prime rib!!! So he ended up with a plate of pasta w/shrimp, which he doesn't even like. They were advertising the band that we could listen to while eating, but we were seated so far we couldn't even hear them. The room where we were was poorly decorated, had just rows of tables, awful bright light and too many people. Service was even worse, my husband got a refill of his drink only when we were getting ready to leave, and by the time I got butter and sour cream for baked potato I was done with the rest of the food. We didn't get out till 10.45 and were very upset. I'm really disappointed with this dining experience and our ruined Valentine's Day. You will probably guess that we have no desire for coming back to this place ever again, and I will never recommend this restaurant to anybody. D-

Better than it was, we thought 9/24/2007
Reviewer: obx4me from Alexandria, VA
|
We have never really raved about Lone Cedar. The last time we were there, service was agonizingly slow (and it was not during prime season) and while the food was very good, but it was nothing outstanding. We ate there again this past week and must say the service was very much improved and the food was delicious. Not particularly innovative, but excellent, fresh seafood.

Great Food at a Great Price 11/30/2006
Reviewer: sloan from akron, ohio
|
Have visited the OBX since 1988..Lone Cedar has always provided outstanding food at a reasonable price in a casual setting. Never experienced the problems Allison in SC relates, maybe she should take a bath. Have eaten at the place about 20 times and take out over 50. We are non local property owners who rely on this place as a great place to go. By the way, where is this place located, yeah, right on the waterfront..sometimes it smells great...sometimes it doesn't..but Lone Cedar cannot control Mother Nature

smells 7/15/2006
Reviewer: allison from south carolina
|
I placed a review here yesterday, this place smells like old flood water, food is greasy. Now I know not to believe some of these ratings because mine has disappeared. Sometimes you wonder who is writing these good things about some of these places.

Good! 6/12/2006
Reviewer: A from NC

Food was delicious. Entrees can easily be shared ($2 charge). Only down side was the service - but I think it was just our waitress. Highly recommend.
