Heart Restaurant

We dined at Heart with our kids while on vacation in Duck and it was fantastic! The service was excellent and the food just as good. The ambiance was just what we were looking for - nice and relaxing, but not beach casual. The kids meals were on point - both of my kids had chicken poppers (can I get an amen for not cutting up chicken fingers?!). Main dishes were very good and a decent drink/wine menu. We will definitely return in the future.

We are regular Duck vacationers and wanted to try a new restaurant. We loved it! I ordered the local tuna entree and it was delicious. The tuna was cooked to perfection and it came with grilled asparagus and fingerling potatoes. The sauce was a perfect complement. My hubby got the scallops/ loved it, my daughter got the burger, loved it. Nice vibe if you want a more upscale dining experience for a reasonable price and great service as well. ????????

Food is 5 star at 3/4 star prices. Service is great. Hidden gem that needs to be uncovered !

We ate at Heart Restaurant last night and left underwhelmed and disappointed. They were clearly short staffed - one server/bartender and one host/bus girl. Our appetizers took 30 minutes to come out and the hushpuppies were raw. We had to send them back. Both my partners and my meals were incredibly under seasoned. His Mahi was overcooked to the texture of rubber and my scallops were burnt. There was no manager in sight to help out the poor server and bus girl that were running around. However, at most there were 5 tables in the restaurant. Being in the service industry myself, I understand what it’s like to be short staffed but there were a lot of chances they could’ve paid more attention to the customer and the food they are putting out.

Took the family for our first excursion to Heart. Our party consisted of both teens and adults. We ordered an array of dishes family style since there were many items that we wanted to try. We loved every dish and left nothing on any plate! They had great beers on tap and delicious drinks-one per adult was enough as they definitely had enough alcohol in them! We will look forward to dining with them again on our next trip to the OBX.
