    Great atmosphere, beautiful setting, a little chilly from where we were seated. I loved that everyone worked together. Because once we placed our order with the server, we saw less of her. Our food courses were brought out by other team members, including the wine that we had to order from someone else . My entree was delicious, I had the salmon, nice portion, a little sweet, the arugula helped cut the sweetness. I paired it with broccolini. In closing, we had the house-made chocolate chip cookies, which were delicious, but took 15 minutes to receive. Needless to say, it was recognized and removed from the final bill.

    We just love Blue Moon. The service is superior, the cocktails are the best in Beaufort, and the food is outstanding. Yes, this is my favorite restaurant in town. My wife and I each had the kale salad with either the filet or scallops added. I had the boysenberry Manhattan- omg it was the best!

    We brought my brother and sister-in-law who were visiting from out of town to 34 North for brunch. Our experience couldn’t have been better. The ambiance and views of Taylor’s Creek are spectacular. Our server, Leslie was excellent and the food was delicious. 34 North is our go-to restaurant when we have out of town guests and for special occasions.

    We had a wonderful visit! We were visited during the course of our dinner by different staff members, who all work together to ensure service never misses a beat. Fresh catch of the evening, noodle bowl, and sea and shore were delicious! Cocktails were unique and beautifully presented, and wine list provides something for any taste. Can’t wait to return!

    They’re still working out “bugs” with Open Table as they’ve just started using it. However, the manager was extremely accommodating and even provided a complimentary tequila/pineapple shot at the end of our meal. Food was phenomenal. Staff is courteous and attentive. Prices are reasonable for quality of food. I highly recommend for a different experience and great food.
