Full Moon Café

Manteo, NC


Summary
Would we go there again: Maybe

A little bistro style restaurant, that mixes southern and beach style foods. This seems appropriate, considering that it's on a beach in the south. Go figure.

Comments & Ratings
Tim's Comments: This place was okay. I wasn't particularly impressed, nor was I particularly turned off. It seemed that all the places to eat in the little town of Manteo were a bit higher on the price scale than we were really looking for, but oh well.

Jeni's Comments: My food was very tasty, although for anyone ordering the Shrimp & Crab Enchilada, it comes with jalapeños (the menu doesn't say that), but you can ask for them to be taken out. I don't normally like spicy food, but I was able to finish it. The coffee was good. The only reason I gave them a 5 for value was that Tim's plate was twice the size of mine and half the price. Overall my food was really tasty.
