The White Oak River Bistro is a unique dining experience offering European cuisine, specializing in Italian, in a beautiful
waterfront setting.  The restaurant is located in Historic downtown Swansboro, N.C., with a view overlooking the
White Oak River as it flows into Bogue Sound. Our 150-seat restaurant was built in 1988 and echoes the charm and
personality of historic Swansboro.  The buildings warmth of wood-paneled walls and floors, rough-hewn posts, and
stone fireplaces create an inviting atmosphere in the dining rooms and bar that reflect the charm of historic Swansboro.
 Dining is also provided on a covered porch overlooking the White Oak River.  The view offers a beautiful vision of the
scenic and pristine White Oak River.  The atmosphere is elegant with a comfortable feel.  Come join us for all your

After 25 years in the Pharmaceutical and
Medical field, Gene Heath decided to leave
the corporate lifestyle and pursue a

family opened the landmark restaurant
The Flying Bridge in 1989.  He went on to
own and operate three restaurants before
