Kimball's Kitchen

If a special evening of dining is in your plans, look no further than Kimball’s Kitchen, formerly the Left Bank. Located on the Soundside of the Sanderling Resort, Kimball’s offers glorious view of the Currituck Sound and its inspiring sunsets, outstanding service and a world class menu. Kimball’s Kitchen offers everything that is special about both the Sanderling and the Outer Banks.

Spotlighting local, grass-fed prime steaks, freshly caught local seafood, and an extensive raw bar selection, the restaurant creates a great dining experience with an upscale coastally casual environment. Of particular note are the numerous varieties of local oysters and the classic seafood tower, with a daily changing list of locally caught fish and seafood. Daily pasta and risotto specials are accompanied by an extensive Wine Spectator wine and champagne list. Children are welcome and are served smaller portions of the standard menu with a 50% price break.

"Kimball's Kitchen opens in the same Sanderling Resort space that used to house The Left Bank. Chef Travis Robinson departed the Sanderling last fall just before the massive renovation and his gifted touch with cuisine is clearly missing from the new Kimball's. However, the food is good, the menu flexible and the cusine more than matched by excellent service and an impressive wine list. In the style of Ruth's Chris, menu items are available ala carte, very healthy portions (you could easily split the catch), crisp salads and a number of side dishes. Our favorites for this trip were the flounder dinner and the potato gnocchi carbonara, both of which packed some of the foodie "wow" we were spoiled with in the old Left Bank. We will be back."

"We had a 7:30 reservation so could watch the sunset from our table. The food is served in very small portions, fine with me, but just so you are aware. The $28 scallop dish had only four scallops though for me that was enough. The sides were extra and a la carte which was surprising. The service is very good, all in all, I don't think we'd go again but we did enjoy the evening."
