    Fantastic food, fabulous service. Two of us shared oysters, pork ribs and Cioppino. All of it was really fantastic and different from anything we tasted before. Validated parking at garage across street.

    Great food and service were exceptional . Our server took extra care to ensure my wife had a superior experience even with her gluten allergy. We can’t wait to return for another date night!!

    Asking specifically for a window seat during a parade is a bit specific. However Seabird made no issue of the request and seated us in the perfect spot. The service was stellar and so friendly. The tower was inventive and creative. We had a memorable time. Thanks again!!

    Outstanding food, service & vibe! Great service, friendly, helpful! We had four different dishes, plus fruit and ice cream - everything was delicious - just a step above the best brunch restaurants we have ever eaten at, eg, best crab cakes Benedict I have ever had! We will definitely return!

    Service was great, Rachael was a great server, and as always Chris is special. Food very good; however, we think they may need a few more options.

    This is simply one of the best places to dine in Wilmington. Worth the drive if you’re at the beach or Ogden area. The staff is so knowledgeable and chef is creative while staying with seasonal and locally sourced foods.
