Went to based on reviews so writing this to say do not go. There are so many good restaurants in Wilmington and this is not one. Oysters were small and soupy even in season and hard to find in fried oysters. Salad was just lettuce. Waste of money even though service was ok.

The hostess initially told us we would have to wait 15 minutes for a table so we went to the bar. Our table was ready before we even got our drinks.

Great Valentines Day Date Spot. Great food and service. Special cocktail for the evening a peach and berry margarita was truly wonderful. Loved the raw oysters the most of all the food we tried, and both types we tried were incredible. Will definitely be back.

Pleasant in the off-season, with decent choices beyond oysters. Its proximity to the beach probably makes it lively during the summer.
