Good food and and great service. My only recommendation is to inform the guests they will receive the focaccia bread with the meals. I requested the paid bread as an appetizer and we would not have ordered it knowing it was included in most of the meals. It is written on the menu but we had not read the menu yet.

As a Wilmington native I have heard a lot of good things about Tequilas Waterfront. Me and my girlfriend decided to try it out for a date night and it was just the outing we needed. We requested somewhere with a view and the host sat us right next to the window with a gorgeous view of the river. Highly suggest Tequilas not only for the food but also the environment!

We came for our anniversary. They made the occasion as special as possible. The staff Even drew little notes on our menu “happy anniversary”. Wish we could’ve kept those but overall the food was amazing and the waitress was nice.
