Kathryn's Bistro & Martini Bar

We stopped in for dinner last night. I had not been here in years. Service was great. The restaurant was arctic cold and I had goosebumps. And I am a woman of a certain age who is never cold. I had the grouper special. Special props to the server who let the kitchen know that I was gluten free as apparently the pesto had breadcrumbs in it. We would never have known as pesto does not usually contain gluten. That was left off of my dish. The prices were extraordinarily high for the meal I was served. I am a native North Carolinian and I understand how the seafood markets work and have always been willing to pay more for local catch. I also understand that many restaurants are dealing with increased costs related to tariffs and staffing. But this was local fish, so not impacted by tariffs. It was about a 4 ounce serving with a couple of ounces of crabmeat. It was served with baby carrots and rice that was so salty I couldn’t finish it. And I love salt. The dish was 59 dollars. I am more than happy to pay for quality food. But this was excessive. All in all, not worth the price.

Great service! Great staff! Martinis are delish and are good bang for your buck. Love that there are gluten free options
