William "Billy" Kelly
began his restaurant career at Ehring's Tavern, a four star German
restaurant in NYC, where he rose to Executive Chef. He has served
as a chef in several of Manhattan's finest restaurants, including
Coho's, The Water Club, and Bruno's Pen & Pencil, and in some of the
finest restaurants in NY's Westchester and Sullivan counties.
Billy moved to North Carolina in 1994 to assume the Executive Chef position at the Duke University R. David Thomas Center.
For lifestyle reasons, he moved to the Outer Banks in 1999, where he was head chef at a local restaurant. He joined the
Inn on Pamlico Sound to help us found our Fine Dining services in 2006.
The Inn serves elegant gourmet dinners from four to seven nights each week, depending on season. In peak season, we are open seven nights, and open to the public for Sunday morning brunch. While our restaurant is primarily for our guests, we open a limited number of seats to the public each evening. Reservations are highly recommended, as the restaurant is generally filled to capacity by reservation before we open the doors each evening.
Our menu changes each day in accordance with the fresh ingredients our chefs discover on the island, most notably the fresh local seafood we feature. The fish we serve each evening is frequently taken from the nets of friends that very morning. In addition to our nightly Fresh Catch choices, we offer dishes each night built around our organic grain fed beef and organic vegetable fed chicken. We also offer vegetarian and young adult selections at each meal. Dinner is served on our large dining deck, weather permitting, as well as in our dining room. Enjoy a bottle of wine, champagne, or premium beer from our extensive selection. Private dinners served in guest rooms are available at a small added charge.
The Inn presents a relaxed fine dining experience, which may not be well suited to small children. Large parties of 10 or more, including large parties with children, can be accommodated by advance reservation.
