Where flavors, like myths and memories,come alive.

Welcome to Theodosia, our signature restaurant from award-winning chef and restaurateur Vivian Howard whose Southern roots are imbued in every dish she creates. With a focus on fresh locally-sourced ingredients and the rich traditions of eastern North Carolina cooking, her menu speaks of salt marshes and fishing boats, of recipes passed down and flavors inspired by the Outer Banks.
