- OTAtlanta Metro •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoThis is by far, hands down, my favorite restaurant. We have been coming here for a couple of years as often as possible (we live 2 hours away and it’s WELL worth the drive). The food is unbelievably delicious and carefully crafted. The service is always top notch. Every server/hostess/busboy is laid back and polite, very helpful and they never hesitate to make your experience “just right”. I have an allergy and the staff (especially the chef(s)) is always extremely diligent at making sure my food is safe. The ambiance is lovely and relaxing. The bathrooms are always clean and fresh. I recommend this restaurant to everyone. Can’t say enough good things about it!!More infoCeviche'sPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Wilmington•4.8
- MmikebDenver / Colorado •1 review5.0Dined on Nov 25, 2023Ordered the short rib and it did not disappoint. The plate sized portion was braised to perfection. We also enjoyed the tuna entree which was also seared to order and served piping hot. We rounded out the evening with the mousse & toffee cake. Dirty martinis were spot on and service was very attentive. We enjoyed the fact they had some background music playing also. This has always been a great spot for us and will continue to visit.More infoJerry's Food, Wine and SpiritsPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Southern• Wilmington•4.8

Discover Wrightsville Beach
Just a hop and skip from the charming historic coastal city of Wilmington, North Carolina, sits Wrightsville Beach, which is directly on the Atlantic Ocean. It comes as no surprise that the top cuisine in the laid-back touristy town is seafood. Restaurants serving this beach food range from informal to more upscale. Other popular food genres include those centered on Italian and American cuisine as well as sushi and steakhouse fare. Southern specialties, like hush puppies and sweetened iced tea, are very popular and common menu items. Many local restaurants boast spectacular views of the sparkling ocean. Being at the beach and in the South where the temperatures climb high in the summer, restaurants welcome guests to dress comfortably and sit down to relax a while.
