The Building
Built in 1929 as a fuel storage facility for the Geer Oil Company, this beautiful building features a very tall vaulted ceiling, interior brick walls and polished wood. Very high windows provide lots of Morehead City sunshine and the brick patio looks out onto the commercial fishing boats.
How did we get here?
In early 2007 Kevin Brighton and Mike Santos, owners of Chefs 505 in Greenville, NC, had the idea of a restaurant in Morehead City when they saw this available site. They approached their friend and former employee Andy Hopper to join them in this venture. Andy and his wife Bennette moved from Chicago where he was working with Spiaggia, a five star Italian restaurant, and she was working with Keefer’s, a premier steak restaurant. For three months this team cleaned and up fitted the remarkable space, adding a wood fire grill, new furniture, new glasses and plates. We opened in May of 2007.
Vegetables, Seafood, Meats
We are blessed with this location by being able to use so many fresh, local ingredients. Fresh seafood is always available and the vegetables are as well. The meats we serve are all Certified Angus Beef. We try to keep our purchases local so that we support our local community and provide the best food from the freshest ingredients.
Giving Back
We are participants and supporters of the Beaufort Wine and Food Festival which benefits the Beaufort Historical Association, the North Carolina Maritime Museum and the Carteret County Culinary School.
We were hosts of the Reelin’ for Research fishing tournament which raised $26,000 for Cancer Research for Children.
