- MMollySt. Louis •4 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGreat experience as always! The food is delicious. I’ve ordered something different on each visit and it’s always amazing! Only weird thing I noticed is how particular they are about seating you right at your reservation time. We always show up 5-10 minutes early and even when there are plenty of tables ready, they wait to seat us until the exact rezo time on the dot. So typically there are 4-5 parties standing in the foyer with the same rezo time waiting. Interesting they won’t seat people even a couple minutes early. Doesn’t impact my review but just something funny I have noticed each time we dine there.More infoTarantelli’sPrice: Moderate• Italian• Wilmington•4.7
- JJensVIPCoastal North Carolina •4 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAnother great visit to Seabird, one of the best restaurants in Wilmington. This visit was for Brunch, great menu with many local options. We was sitting right away, the restaurant was busy with only one other table sitting empty (not for long), but the restaurant was running smoothly, and we was greeted by our server right away,- The server explained the menu, and pointed out what made some of the dishes extra special. We order coffee (served fresh and hot) right away, and we order our entrees. Both entrees was delivered in 10 minutes, and was delicious! We will be back again soon! What I really love about Restaurant Seabird is that the restaurant is great for so many things…. A drink (or two) at the Bar, many times with a couple of appetizers, for a great casual meal on a weekday, for a nice get together, dressed up a little for Friday or Saturday and of course for Brunch on the weekends…. You will be happy if you visit, I do recommend making a reservation for the dining room, have always been able to get a chair or two at the Bar !More infoSeabirdPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Wilmington•4.9
- DDonald1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThe food was excellently prepared, and the service was great. Very busy because it was the day after Valentine's, but the noise level wasn't too bad for how many people were there.More infoPinPointPrice: Very Expensive• American• Wilmington•4.7
- WFWendyFCoastal North Carolina •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWe sat outside on the lower (uncovered) deck (it was cold, but they had heaters going for us.) The food was prompt, service was excellent. My husband got the salmon and said it tasted a little fishy which he had never had in salmon before, but he ate it all (yes we know he ordered fish, but salmon doesn't typically have that taste). He also had a Caesar salad, which he said was one of the best he has had in a while. I had the filet mignon, and it was cooked perfectly to my temp preference. I also had a side of mac-n-cheese, which I didn't care for much, but that is just a personal taste preference. Overall, we had a nice time. Next time we will make reservations for Valentines a little earlier so we can sit inside!! Haha.More infoRiver 128 RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Wilmington•4.6
- SScottCoastal North Carolina •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoValentine’s Day was busy but quiet. Food was great, ribeye, fillet, lobster Mac and sides all excellent. Reasonable drink prices great ambiance. Live music was nice and deck area outside was really nice during daylight hours. Heaters keep it fairly warm.More infoRuth's Chris Steak House - Wilmington, NCPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Wilmington•4.7
