    We always love going here but this time was special. We went for our wedding anniversary and the staff made us feel special. From the 72 day dry rub taster to everyone saying happy anniversary. It made this visit extra special. True Blue knows how to do it.

    You wouldn't think there'd be a decent restaurant in a chain hotel, but this defies those perceptions. You're not there for ultra-fine dining, but the food is very good, the service was excellent, and expect a kid friendly environment considering this hotel serves families who are coming to the beach. The value is similar to other restaurants in the region, and would come with a solid recommendation to at least give it a try.

    My husband and I had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at G Prime. We started out with Estate caviar which was superb! I had salmon which was so tender it melted in my mouth. My husband loved his steak. The drinks and dessert were outstanding as well as the service. Our server was both efficient and delightful. The decor was beautiful. The chandeliers were lovely and went well with the rest of the setting. We are really happy to have a new upscale restaurant in Wilmington as there are not that many. We plan to return soon, and I can hardly wait. We happily welcome G Prime to Wilmington! Joan and Geoff
