Hello Sailor in Cornelius, NC

Located along the serene shores of Lake Norman in Cornelius, North Carolina, Hello, Sailor stands as a testament to innovative dining infused with nostalgic charm. Established in December 2017 by the acclaimed duo Joe and Katy Kindred, this establishment reimagines the classic Southern fish camp through a modern lens.

A Culinary Voyage: The Menu

At Hello, Sailor, the menu is a delightful fusion of traditional Southern seafood staples and contemporary culinary techniques. Diners can indulge in dishes like whole fried flounder adorned with a zesty mojo verde, hush puppies crafted from Jimmy Red cornmeal served alongside yuzu kosho–honey butter, and inventive offerings such as hamachi crudo paired with radish, micro-greens, and crushed macadamia nuts. The beverage program complements the fare, featuring a curated selection of craft cocktails, beers, and wines. 

Mid-Century Modern Meets Lakeside Leisure

Features like leather butterfly chairs, a chartreuse ceramic fireplace, and a vintage photo booth evoke a playful yet sophisticated ambiance. The expansive deck overlooking the marina offers patrons picturesque views of Lake Norman, enhancing the dining experience with a touch of tranquility. 

Commitment to Community and Service

Beyond its culinary and design accolades, Hello, Sailor is deeply embedded in the local community. The Kindreds have cultivated a culture of hospitality, ensuring that every guest feels welcomed and valued.
