CHEFS TELL Fresh Fare Delectable seafood and steaks make Kathryn's Bistro an enduring favorite in Emerald Isle. By Ivy Lamb When Maryland natives Ken and Kitch Ayre relocated to Emerald Isle, North Carolina, in 1995, they thought they were retiring. Instead, they saw an opportunity to open the area's only fine-dining restaurant. This year marks the tenth anniversary of Kathryn's Bistro and Martini Bar, and Ken Ayre attributes the restaurant's success to three things: hard work, excellent service, and delicious food. ★ Soft-shell crab, and (right) Certified Angus Beef filet topped with spinach, roma tomatoes, and white cheddar cheese The menu focuses on fresh, local seafood and Certified Angus beef, and nightly specials highlight everything from fish to lobster to softshell crab. The ever-popular lump crab cakes pay homage to the owners' Maryland heritage, while the shrimp with applewood-smoked bacon and cremini mushrooms served over white cheddar cheese grits presents a regional take on a Southern classic. Whether you order the grouper special or a perfectly cooked filet mignon, don't leave without trying one of the restaurant's famous martinis. The bar mixes up traditional favorites and more KATHRYN'S BISTRO exotic creations like pear, AND MARTINI BAR mojito, or chocolate milky 8002 Emerald Drive Emerald Isle, NC way - the hardest part is 252.354.6200 choosing from the more kathrynsbistro.com than 30 variations. If you prefer, Kathryn's also offers an extensive selection of wines by the glass or the bottle. In addition to serving fine food and drink, Kathryn's Bistro prides itself on retaining many of the same employees that started when the restaurant opened ten years ago. "We care and people see that," Ayre says. It's also why many of the same customers - locals and visitors alike - continue to dine at Kathryn's year after year.
