1587 At Tranquil House Inn

This was our first visit to the Outer Banks and we were looking for an experience that we would never forget! 1587 was such an event. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and each person that works here smiled and made us feel welcomed and appreciated. The view directly outside the window was amazing and only added to the sheer perfection of our dinner. Our waiter, Brandon, was very accommodating and helped us in pairing a wine that went with both entrees. And speaking of food — from beginning to end AMAZING! Scallops. Beef. Lamb. Chocolate dessert. We left feeling very full and very satisfied. We also stayed at the Inn for the weekend and were celebrating a low-​key Birthday dinner. I would recommend 1587 in a heartbeat and we will return to this eatery on our next visit!

I have not been in many restaurants in the outer banks I consider an establishment to take visiting guests but this was such the feeling I had after a wonderful meal at 1587. The Manteo waterfront offers many locations to eat and shop but if your looking for that one place that you will remember please take a trip to Roanoke Island and visit this eatery. The dinner entrée cost per plate will run you around 22 for a chicken dish to 36 for the Tenderloin but for the atmosphere and the location on water, this was a justified cost for my dinning experience. I gave 1587 5 stars for what it does, and what is does, it does very well.
I have not yet visited the Inn but if I were to have guest request a place of logging, I just might steer them toward Tranquil House.

Small menu but very good food. Great service & view. Very good value. Highly recommend.

Beautiful views of the marina. An upscale restaurant which is also a vegetarian’s delight, thanks to a completely separate, extensive vegetarian menu. It is situated in the back of Tranquil House Inn — which is so pretty, I think I’d like to stay there sometime. My dh and I got a table by the window — perhaps b/​c we made reservations? — and watched the boats/​yachts pull up. Some of the folks came right in to eat.
We started with the featured red by the glass, William Hill Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon… it was surprisingly smooth and we ordered another! My parmesan risotto was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. My dh was pleased with his perfectly cooked filet mignon, resting on yummy garlic mashed potatoes. I was in heaven when we had dessert (verbal menu) which was pots de chocolat.
Pretty amazing.

I’D GIVE IT 20 STARS IF I COULD!
We’re vegetarian and this is one of the best upscale vegetarian menus anywhere. The Sesame Seared Tofu appetizer was absolutely to die for — amazing texture and flavors.
My husband picked this restaraunt after reading the menu in the OBX app for Android for our anniversary and while we were on our last night of vacation. I am so glad he did! It was all excellent: the ambiance, the service, the view, the food and the wine.
We had a very delicious desert there and then took a walk over the bridge. It was a wonderful, romantic evening.
