Now open everyday for Summer 2026!North Carolina native, award-winning chef, and New York Times best-selling author Vivian Howard opened her latest culinary concept, Theodosia, at The Sanderling Resort! Every element of this new dining destination will reflect the culture and history of the Outer Banks, creating a connection to a distinctive place and time.Named for Theodosia Burr—daughter of the infamous Aaron Burr, wife of South Carolina Governor Joseph Alston, and the subject of centuries-old folklore about a ship lost at sea near the Outer Banks—Theodosia will evoke mystery and intrigue. The waterfront setting invites guests to ponder her fate as she journeyed from SC to NY in the early 19th century.The dining room features rich, feminine textures, soft lighting, and views of the Currituck Sound’s endless horizon. The menu celebrates the region’s salt marshes and fishing heritage, blending tradition with Howard’s signature innovative Southern cuisine.

    Gorgeous restaurant! Watched the sun set over the sound while savoring delicious small plates and entrees. Everything was perfectly paired with various wines. Our waiter Lawrence was knowledgeable and professional. He was very helpful in describing the menu and offering wine recommendations. The lemon pie was a perfect end to the meal. Very memorable evening.

    We have been coming here for years and it never disappoints! I almost always order the chicken because it is so good! The fig salad is wonderful. We almost always end with the ice cream and pastry pairing. Oh and the martinis are delicious too. Great service with a casual yet upscale vibe.
