- KKristalCoastal North Carolina •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoThe experience met our expectations in every way. The host greeted us promptly, and our server Julia was both knowledgeable and efficient. The bartender and other staff members delivered our drinks to the table, and the manager also checked in on us, demonstrating a clear teamwork dynamic. The staff's well-rehearsed coordination was evident, resulting in a seamless experience. The food was outstanding - I particularly enjoyed the catfish etouffee, which was well worth the price and more. Overall, a 5-star experience.More infoSeabirdPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Wilmington•4.9
