Came last week with my boss and had the new Bern scallops and key lime pie. All delecious! Today I came right when they opened and asked if I could get the shrill but with chimchurri sauce. My waitress got it done and it was oh so good! Ice tea was just made and also very good. I like this location much better than the Leland location. Food is much better. Employees are always friendly too.

Excellent service even at 8:30 pm. We enjoyed the hush puppies as well as the shrimp and grits. Ended with blueberry cobbler, yum. The overall meal was relaxing and fun.

I really thought this was going to be down by the water, but alas, it's in a shopping plaza. No worries, once you walk in and taste, you'll believe you're there. Friendly, efficient service. Quick to the table, great suggestions and menu explanations. I had the saltimbocca. Mahi was the fish, wrapped in prosciutto, atop expertly cooked spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes with delicately placed chunks of goat cheese. And the sauce. This is one of their signature dishes and for good reason. This was expertly cooked, plated. I had a Prosecco with dinner. I like a slightly sweet wine with my fish. I would have preferred a Reisling but the Prosecco was good. My son had the fresh catch, he picked Mahi also. He liked his very much. Grandson had the bacon cheeseburger - it looked great! Daughter in law had a salad and another side. All of it was great. Bread was served to the table before dinner, with creamy butter. Kind of standard but it was welcome especially by the kids. My son and I had the house salad. Very good! I will definitely go back when in the area.

Love this place. We have been to the location in Leland before and love it there too. They have great staff, great drinks and really good food. It's a little high $$, but it's definitely one to keep in your rotation.

Our server Chloe was wonderful! There was so much to chose from she suggested some awesome selections! We couldn't decide on which soup so we tried a cup of both. Boy were we pleased! The red pepper lobster bisque was our favorite, but both were great! The crab dip was phenomenal!! The lobster and shrimp risotto was great too!! We couldn't even do dessert because we were stuffed! This restaurant is a must if you're visiting. We will be back! Maybe even tomorrow!

A must-not-miss when in Wilmington! So impressed!! Overall, 4.5/5 and rounding up. We drove from Carolina Beach on a Sunday at 730p and were met with a 20min wait for a party of 2-- wow, was it worth it! Service 4.5/5: Jason was a lovely waiter and met our every request. Apps arrived 15min from ordering, with our main arriving 5min later! Ambience 4.5/5: unhurried, well-decorated; the first restaurant (in a while) I've visited without background music-- especially perfect for close conversation. Food: 4.5/5: I'm admittedly a food snob, and this exceeded my expectations. For 2, we ordered a larger main, with a chowder bowl, app, and hushpuppies, with plenty of leftovers. - Hush puppies $3.99: solid 4/5, light, not greasy - Surf n Turf Chimmichurri $13.99: 5/5, highlight of the night; such tender steak, well-balanced with pineapple, shrimp, and chimichurri; a must-getb - Chowder bowl $6.99: 4.5/5, creamy, rich, with fresh seafood - Shrimp n Grits $21.99: 4.5/5, such a flavor party in my mouth! Buttery, scrumptious grits alone are a standout, and the sausage-shrimp sauce is just perfection! a little heavy on the salt for my liking. but definitely the best I've had in a while! Price: 4.5/5; $50+ tip for 2, with generous portions and leftovers.
