    Our server Erin was fantastic!! Every recommendation she made was delicious, and the service was perfectly timed out from appetizers to desserts. Freshest seafood I’ve had in Wilmington. Great for a nice date night!

    We got the seafood tower here, and it was probably the best one we’ve ever had. It was like seafood tapas: lots of small dishes (can’t imagine the labor that went into it) and each one was delicious. I think the restaurant undercharges for this ($99 when we went) considering the caliber of flavor, plus it fed 2 people. And the wine selection was amazing as well!
