Named dining choices
Waterfront evening
Moonrakers combines wood-fired seafood and local beer with a rooftop bar and covered open-air patio on Front Street. The Taylor's Creek boardwalk remains directly outside for an evening waterfront walk.
Small dining room
Blue Moon Bistro serves modern French cooking with locally sourced ingredients in an 1827 Queen Street building. The historic setting and focused menu distinguish it from the larger waterfront restaurants.
Shareable dinner
Aqua sits a few blocks from Front Street and centers its menu on tapas, seafood, local flavors, and wine. Its small plates allow a table to share several dishes instead of ordering one seafood entrée each.
Casual downtown
Black Sheep serves brick-oven pizza near the waterfront; Clawson's pairs house-smoked ribs and seafood with local draft beer on Front Street. Both keep dinner inside the downtown walking area.
Town Creek
City Kitchen serves Southern American fusion and cocktails at Town Creek Marina. The restaurant is outside the Front Street cluster, with the marina in place of a downtown waterfront walk.
Lennoxville Road
Inside Beaufort Hotel, 34 Degrees North pairs Southern-inspired cooking with views of Taylor's Creek and the Rachel Carson Reserve. Hotel guests can dine on site; downtown visitors must drive to Lennoxville Road.
