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!

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.

    My wife and I had a wonderful experience. Upon arrival we were greeted and seated in a very hospitable way and our seating request by the window was honored which helped to make our evening very special. Our server was efficient and knowledgeable. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was comfortable yet sophisticated. The food was delicious!
