Basnight's took care of everything. Food was amazing, service as fantastic. We had a party at our home and having Basnight's there felt like we are in a private room at a restaurant. Highly recommend them for any event you are having.

Fabulous from Start to Finish
I can’t stress enough how wonderful the Lone Cedar staff are; from the coordinators to the bartenders. These folks are all top notch. And let me just tell you about the food…. Absolutely delicious! Everyone at the wedding was so happy with bellies full of crab dip. pork skewers, chicken & waffles, shrimp n’ grits. beef, chicken, and smoked gouda mac & cheese! The rehearsal dinner was equally excellent and service was great! Don’t think twice, just book Lone Cedar!

Great food is not the only thing Basnight's Lone Cedar Cafe serves up on a daily basis! They get Five Stars for their outstanding customer service for not only their clients and other vendors but their community. Jennette's Pier appreciates Lone Cedar's dedication to incorporating conservation principles into their business. They not only use local seafood, grow their own herbs and such but also have a "green friendly" restaurant. All these things help to preserve our environment, which is a priority for the North Carolina Aquariums and Jennette's Pier. The food is fresh and you can surely taste the difference. This family owned and operated restaurant sees everyone as family and will do their very best to make your event wonderful and more!
Basnight's Lone Cedar Cafe is a go-to wedding venue in the Nags Head area. They have lots of parking, a great facility and the service and food are impeccable! Basnight's Lone Cedar Cafe should seriously be considered for your wedding and reception venue. It's always a pleasure to shoot any event there!
Working with Lone Cedar is a complete dream! Their food is delicious, their staff is professional, presentable, and very knowledgeable about the food and the way weddings are run. They always have at least one manager on duty that stays for the entire evening to make sure everything runs perfectly. They are easy going, and able to go with the flow while making sure their service is top notch. We as a vendor love working with them, and can rest assured knowing our clients will be just as happy!
