A word from Deep Blue Bar and Grill

Deep Blue, a contemporary American fish house specializes in creative preparations of shockingly fresh fish. Not strictly seafood, the menu also features excellent steaks and vegetarian options as well. The raw bar features exotic oysters from around the world. General Manager David Talmo sets a… sophisticated, welcoming tone for Deep Blue with friendly service and a nationally recognized wine list.Continued

"Oysters were great. Wine by glass: nice seafood oriented selection. Service: I wish they had brought the wine with (not 5minutes after) the courses. Location: perfect for event at hotel DuPont. Room: spacious; plenty room between tables; acoustic industrial drop ceiling."

"We arrived a bit early for ou reservaiton so we started with a drink at the bar. The dining room was busy with about 3/4 tables filled. Aside from a few minor glitches, our dining experience was good but not exceptional.I had to use my partners' knife as mine had been taken away and not replaced. Salad came already dressed - not on the side as requested.The dessert was a disappointment - we each ordered the gelato.My partner had vanilla and I opted for chocolate.My partner did receive gelato and it was good.I received not gelato, but just ordinary ice cream. The waiter did not come by to check on things or I would have asked him about it.The maitre'd looked a bit disheveled in a wrinkled shirt that was not quite tucked in. Unprofessional."

"One of the best things about this restaurant is its proximity to the Dupont Theater. Our waiter was great, my husband had the prix fixe which is a good deal for $35 dollars. He had the pork which was too dry. I had the scallops with lobster polenta which would have been excellent had the scallops been cleaned well. Biting into shell is not a pleasant experience. I would give them a B..we'll try them again next time we attend an event at the DuPont."

"The entrees were the highlight and were excellent especially the scallops. The clam chowder was exellent and the salad entrees were good. The moouse was very good but the rest of the desert menu was a bit lacking in choice."

"We often dine at Deep Blue before attending a theater performance in Wilmington and we are never disappointed. They offer a pre-theater menu that is excellent. The seafood is fresh, delicious and it is a great value."
