    Our first time dining experience at Floriana’s was nothing short of outstanding from the moment we walked in until we had to part ways. Both the hostess/manager and our server (Skylar) were so endearing. The food was phenomenal. We are already planning our next visit when we come back to Wilmington.

    We always enjoyed dining at Oyster Rock! It's one of our favorite places. The food was delicious, and the service was wonderful! I had the best Miso Soy Chilean Sea Bass! The view was beautiful! The general manager Patrick and his team did such a great job keep Oyster Rock running at its best! We highly recommend Oyster Rock for special occasion, family dining, special date night, and many more. You will not be disappointed!

    Seabird in Wilmington, NC, offers a memorable dining experience with expertly prepared dishes. The swordfish schnitzel was perfectly cooked, while the yellowfin tuna bolognese and fried oysters romaine Caesar impressed with fresh, vibrant flavors. The oysters were exceptional, fresh and briny, making them a highlight of the meal. Though the meal was fantastic, I had hoped for a complimentary dessert to celebrate my wife’s birthday, as I marked it when making the reservation. Overall, Seabird is a top choice for an unforgettable meal.
