   Seabird has delicious, creative entrees, appetizers, small plates and desserts served in a nice, comfortable setting. The menu is short and mostly seafood. Our party consisted of people from 74 to 15 and we all really enjoyed what we ordered. I had the swordfish schnitzel and my wife had the smoked catfish. We both felt it might have been the best meal we had eaten in a long, long time. Two at our table ordered the Cioppino and found the seafood and 'soup/broth' delicious to the last bite. The other order was the small plate of smoked tuna tartare which we all shared and loved. Our family are adventurous eaters so we weren't intimidated by the menu but if you are looking for chicken this is probably not the place to eat (although they did have chicken wings as a small plate). It's well worth the price to go there and we cannot wait to get back.

   Had the fried catfish dish for brunch… never thought fish for breakfast was the best idea, but Seabird changed my perspective. The fish and dish, as a whole, was delicious. Enjoyed the toasted coconut latte as well, just make sure you ask for half sweet if you don’t like sweet coffee.

   Our apps were Oysters, ribs and tuna and they were great! We had The swordfish schnitzel, assorted fried seafood plate, clams in pasta and smoked and fried catfish. Each dish was outstanding but our favorite was the swordfish. We loved the ambience of the space and our server was great.

   We love the smoked catfish and oyster pie, hot chili pork ribs and pretty much anything else we’ve tried on the menu. Fresh ingredients properly prepared. Wine list is limited but on point. Staff is friendly and attentive.

   First visit. I had the swordfish schnitzel on a bed of spaetzle and cauliflower surrounded by a perfectly seasoned white sauce. Extremely well prepared. I will have this dish again and again. The meals are appropriately priced given the gourmet quality. The only complaint I had was the absence of more moderately priced wines on the menu. Alcohol for two easily surpasses the cost of Dinner for two. That doesn’t quite seem right.

   Our waitress, Catherine, was excellent and she provided superior service. However, it took FOREVER to get our food! Was there a problem in the kitchen, not enough staff??? Although we were able to entertain ourselves, the 3 hour experience was much longer than we had planned. We were disappointed.

    Smoked fish/oyster pie small plate was delicious. Smoked catfish over grits large plate was beautiful, and the fish cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, the dish was very bland and lacked flavor. That was disappointing.

    The food was outstanding! The blending of flavors masterful. I had the smoked tuna tartine and it was delicious. My son had the swordfish which he remarked it was the best swordfish he had ever had. Our salads, the citrus beet and the spinach pear, we completely fabulous. The oysters delicious, served with different sauces to try. The waiter was friendly, prompt, gracious. Didn’t know a whole lot about some of the flavors we were trying to identify, but gave it a good shot.

    Absolutely amazing. The vibe is infectious and upbeat. Very active and bustling even on a cold January evening. Highly recommend the short rib and yellow fin tuna small plates to start with local raw oysters of course. For main eats, try the seared swordfish or catfish. You won't go wrong with anything.... enjoy!

    We ordered oysters and small plates. The pace of service was excellent with timing between individual small plates. The ribs were maybe the best I have ever had but each individual dish was attentively prepared and presented. Servers kept an eye on us, refilled water and provided wet wipes.

    Everything was well orchestrated- from the charming server to the delivery of creative food selections. My only comment would be to not serve multi grain bread (only slightly toasted) with cioppino . Toast baguette slices would have paired more successfully.

    The cocktails and bartender were excellent. I had the prime rib which you could cut with a knife- and full of flavor. But the showstopper was the seafood “tower”- it was creative and delicious- we took our time eating it because we didn’t want it to end. If I lived locally I would be a regular at Seabird.

    Visually tasteful and inviting, Seabird's location is prime. Beach glass came to mind as I sat absorbing the ambiance, rich in hues of blue and green. The quality and freshness of the ingredients and preparations were outstanding. Our server was both relaxed and poised, properly garrulous, and knowledgeable about the menu. Oysters were our 1st course, both raw (Seabirdies) and cooked (Hollandaise), and they couldn't have been improved upon. My dinner guest & I shared a beautiful persimmon salad and two entrees: an attractive mushroom roulade and a unique fried flounder dish. Both were highly palatable. Dessert was house-made eggnog ice cream, which was silky and perfectly not-too-sweet. I can't wait to find a good excuse to return to Wilmington for a Seabird brunch.
