    We went for an anniversary dinner and we were very impressed. The food, atmosphere and service were all top notch. Neither of us wanted alcohol so our server recommended several nonalcoholic options for cocktails. I had the hibiscus agua fresca and it was so refreshing! We also ordered oysters Rockefeller, tuna tartare and pork ribs small plates, and a tuna bolognese entree. Everything was fresh and delicious, our server was funny and attentive, but not in an intrusive way, and the atmosphere is lively and fun with views of Front Street. They even left a card on the table wishing us a happy anniversary. Could not have asked for a better experience. We will be back.

    Dean and his team were highly welcoming, kind, courteous, and caring. Each and every employee had a joyous-type demeanor that made us feel happy to be there. The food was DELICIOUS! The fruit plate and coffee cake muffins to start were perfect; not too heavy and tasty... especially that honey and sumac yogurt! The main brunch courses exceeded expectations. As southerners who moved north, I cannot tell you how much we miss a good biscuit and some flavorful grits... they nailed both perfectly. My fried catfish was almost melting in my mouth. All around, a wonderful and elevated meal that was served by staff that genuinely cared; and experience that made us feel like we were home.

    Brunch was excellent! The BBQ Oysters were smokey and creamy, a delightful surprise.. I had Harissa Smoked Tuna Benedict... the tuna was prepared well! The dish was rich and presentation was beautiful. I also enjoyed the Cozy Bird Cocoa, at the recommendation of my waitress. Sooo good! To complete the experience, I ordered the Browine Sundae with a carmel banana ice cream topping. The staff was wonderful! I am a visitor to Wilmington. The Seabird Brunch was a highlight of my stay here! I highly recommend it!
