We celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary here, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so special — kind, attentive, and genuinely courteous throughout the entire evening. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious — full of flavor and beautifully presented. The seafood pasta and filet were cooked to perfection! The service was exceptional without ever feeling rushed or overbearing. To top it all off, our waitress Lauren surprised us with a bottle of champagne to celebrate our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the night even more memorable. Truly an amazing dining experience from start to finish, thank you Lauren for your wonderful service! we can’t wait to come back! 🥂💛

THE REVIEWER

Collington Café continues to be one of our absolute favorites in the Outer Banks. The food is consistently excellent, and the filet mignon stands out as one of the best I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. The service is outstanding, with a team that’s attentive, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere is both unique and cozy, offering a warm, inviting dining experience that feels personal and refined at the same time. We’ve been dining here for years, and each visit reminds us why we keep coming back. Collington Café remains a true local gem, and we’ll continue to return for many years to come.

The Colington Café is such a charming spot! The restaurant is set in a beautifully transformed house, giving it a cozy, intimate feel. Soft background music adds to the atmosphere without making conversation difficult. Service was impeccable from start to finish, and every dish we tried was delicious. The wine list is reasonably priced. A wonderful dining experience overall. Highly recommend!

This was the cutest little hidden gem and the most delicious food we have had in OBX! The adorable cottage is set back off the beaten path and offers a selection of seafood, beef and vegetarian options with a French flair! The ingredients were fresh, the service was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was relaxing. Highly recommend and will be coming back the next time we are in town!
