"Overall, this restaurant was okay. We like trying new places and wanted to give this themed restaurant a shot. We walked in to the bookstore and knew to wait for the hostess. She stayed in theme and was very friendly and fun and loved that we had and used the password and said we were the first people to use it in days. Speakeasy... password... DUH. We came early to sit at the bar, which the restaurant obliged, and had a few cocktails. The cocktails were excellent, the bruschetta was mediocre and not worth $8-9. The weirdest part at the bar was that we sensed tension between the bartenders and servers. I’m not sure what that was about but my husband and I looked at each other and noticed immediately. After our cocktails, we sat at our table. Our server was not warm, nor overly friendly. Granted, we had sat at the bar for a little while but as soon as we sat at our dinner table, she asked us what we wanted to order. We did not partake in salads or more appetizers and immediately ordered entrees, both of which were pretty good, although the pricing seemed off on the one my husband had due to portion size. The ambiance is fine, but if they’re going to call themselves a Speakeasy, it needs to be bigger and just... more. More decor, more theme, something. I don’t really regret trying G&S, but I probably won’t go back to the OBX location. Stick to the classic seafood spots you know and love when in Nags Head, KDH, and Kitty Hawk!"

"A friend was in town on business and wanted to meet me for dinner. We both enjoy craft beer, so Loma Brewing Co. was the obvious choice. It was a little too chilly to sit outside, there weren?t any propane heaters, and the picnic tables didn?t look inviting, so we opted for the dining room. We were anxious to try their house-brewed beers and we weren?t disappointed. They always have ten or more on tap. You can choose the number of beers in a flight so he ordered three: ?The Trouble with Tripels? which is a strong Belgian style ale, the unusual ?Sour Sport?, which he thought had a very definite sour taste, and ?Always Sunny in LG?, an Irish dry stout. I just had a glass of stout. We agreed that the stout was probably the best of the three, with the same creamy foam head as Guinness but without the heaviness. For starters, we shared the crispy fried Brussels sprouts which we thought had just the right amount of teriyaki glaze to cut the bitterness. I had the Wagyu Burger without cheese and he ordered the Roadhouse (Wagyu Burger. Both were perfectly cooked medium-rare. The American Wagyu was more tender and juicy and not as heavy as ordinary beef. The fries were hot but not as crispy as we would have liked. Service was ok but not terrific. There was only one server for the mostly empty dining room and she seemed to disappear for long stretches of time. The biggest problem was the noise level. It was almost impossible to hold a conversation without shouting after the DJ in the bar started playing. My handy Soundprint app recorded a peak level of 90db which is deafening. (The average level for conversation should be around 70db. . We hadn?t seen one another in a long time and really wanted to talk, so we would?ve walked out if we hadn?t already ordered. In summary, this might be a good place to go with a group of friends if you?re in a partying mood and want to hang out in the bar to enjoy a couple of craft beers. From our experience, the food, service, and atmosphere were just average."
