Craving seafood? You're in luck: A new restaurant has opened its doors in Plaza Midwood. The fresh arrival, called NC Red, is located at 1205 Thomas Ave.
NC Red is the latest entry to chef Bruce Moffett's restaurant collection, which includes Barrington’s, Good Food on Montford and Stagioni. Its website describes the concept as a "casual collaboration" between the Rhode Island seafood Moffett grew up eating "and comfort-food classics found throughout the South."
The menu ranges from New England clam chowder to fried green tomatoes and from Nashville hot chicken (a nod to NC Red's Tennessee-raised chef, Drew Dodd) to oysters Rockefeller, with a raw bar and whole fish fried or grilled. The restaurant takes no reservations — it's for walk-ins only.
NC Red has a 3.5-star rating out of 18 reviews on Yelp so far.
David M., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on May 19, wrote, "Both times the staff was extremely courteous and service was prompt and professional. ... The Nashville chicken brought some heat. It was too spicy for my wife but I loved it along with the pickled cucumber garnish."
Yelper Emily R. wrote, "I've been really excited to try NC Red — being from New England and living in the South, the menu was right up my alley. It's a smaller space so I'm not at all surprised by wait time. Just know ahead of time what to expect."
Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: NC Red is open from 5:30–10 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday and 5:30–11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. (It's closed on Sunday and Monday.)
