Seabird

Discover delicious dining in the heart of historic downtown at Seabird, a seafood restaurant and oyster bar devoted to North Carolina's coastal bounty. Dean Neff, a James Beard Foundation finalist for "Outstanding Chef" as well as semifinalist for "Best Chef Southeast" and his wife, award-winning pastry chef, Lydia Clopton, have created a comfortable and stylish setting for dining all day from weekend brunch, to dinner and delicious handcrafted cocktails. While seafood is the star of the show, vegans and carnivores will recognize the same thoughtful attention for ingredients and preparation. And you must save room for Lydia's desserts or drop by for for whatever she is inspired to bake such as coffee cake, fruit crostadas and made-to-order biscuits with Dean's fried chicken and pimento cheese, cured fish, or Lydia's famous Strawberry-Rose Jam.
