Always a great eat! We had one Jerry's classics: Grilled horseradish tuna with jumbo lump crab sauce - excellent as ever. The special braised beef short ribs. A huge portion of melt in your mouth wine braised short rib served with plenty of the bailing sauce over buttered mash and fresh spinach. Two amazing dishes. Would need to return some other for dessert!

We have been to Jerry’s four times. The food quality and portions are good but every time we remark how salty the food is or how much sauce the put on the food. This time our tartar appetizer had too much balsamic reduction on it. It was good but overpowering and my husbands red snapper, while cooked well, was extremely salty. I want to love this restaurant because the service, food quality, presentation and portions are great. If only the food was less salty I would give it a 5 star rating.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with another couple. The main dining area is small and intimate. The room temperature was pleasant without being uncomfortably cool! Clara, our server, greeted us and shared the special entree. Interestingly, each of us selected a different seafood entree. Since we did not order appetizers, our meals arrived in short order. All meals were hot and looked great. Clara did a super job! However, another highlight of our dining experience was the meal. All seafood dishes were beautifully presented and extremely tasty. There were no negative comments by our dining group. Great food and excellent service. I highly recommend Jerry’s for a fine dining experience and do hope Clara is your server!

This is a fine restaurant that I will revisit from time to time. The noise level was somewhat high so I recommend noise dampening measures. My greatest complaint however is the strip mall location next door to a pizza house. A better location would be a good idea.

I was a little skeptical when we pulled up and I saw that Jerry's was located in a strip mall. However, once we walked inside and saw the twinkle lights in the intimate dining room, I knew we were in a good place. The service was attentive and, though it took a bit to get our entrees, the server insisted on providing us a free key lime pie--some of the most delicious I have tasted! The watermelon gazpacho is to die for. The lamb was absolutely amazing. Everything we ate was beyond delicious. I cannot recommend highly enough!!

2nd time I ate there for romantic birthday dinner. Corner out of the way table with Julia as waitress made it really nice. NC snapper was a fabulous meal and having the bottle of wine at the table from my children was a very classy surprise. Joked with waitress and her mom Kathy. Felt like a neighborhood hangout for us. I'll be back and hope to have another great experience. The bread served with dinner is the bomb and gelato for desert made it a super night.

One of our group of 4 had never experienced Jerry’s - we were all wowed by the great service from our server Jennifer, craft cocktails perfectly prepared, the abundance of choices on the menu, and the delicious dinners we received. One chose the tuna entree, two chose roast lamb, and one sea scallops - all were prepared with care and beautifully presented, done exactly as requested. Highly recommend Jerry’s for an intimate and delicious meal.

Jerry’s is the best restaurant in Wrightsville Beach. It’s a true hidden gem and not a tourist trap. Great wine list. The tuna tartare is better then anywhere. The filet is tender and a great value in a high end steak. On the service side, the servers are friendly and attentive. My only complaint is that they close on a Sundays and Mondays.

What a hidden gem. This is such a great stop. Located in a strip mall the outside is unassuming but that belies the cozy interior. From the walk in to leaving this place is tops. I had the grilled horseradish tuna. It was a symphony of flavors, textures and just superior. A healthy appropriate serving size with an extremely great visual presentation. My wife had the short ribs special. The tender and tasty beef was superior and the presentation and quantity was sufficient. Our server was attentive but not intrusive. Full bar available. If you are looking for fine dining or a place to go for a special occasion, I highly recommend Jerry’s

Although the entrees are a bit pricey, the food was exceptional and well worth it. Jerry's ranks among the finest of Wilmington's upscale dining establishments. Not sure why we haven't revisited them sooner. It is everything one would expect from a high-end restaurant, we were not disappointed.
