My grandmother lived on the oceanfront in Nags Head for over 15 years.  Whenever the family (and we have a big one) came to visit, we always spent at least one evening at Owens’.  The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and romantic in the dining room with the fireplace, and in the bigger rooms there is so much to see…gorgeous artwork, beautifully appointed decor.  The food from the appetizer to the dessert is absolutely perfect in every way.  It’s a bit pricey, but soooo worth it!
