   I had the lobster ravioli which was outstanding while my husband had the lamb lollipops , also quite good! We all shared the lobster dip which was another excellant choice. Our friends had the catfish which was reported to be good and the chicken dish which was a big disappointment. It was dry and over salted without much to commend it. Her drink was also not good though the rest of us enjoyed ours. There were other items on the menu that appealed but had an ingredient that did not suit such as curry oe coconut and though the fish special sounded wonderful prep wise the fish itself was swordfish, rather a strong fish for some tastes and no other option. I would recommend but stick with the seafood .

   Went there for brunch with a friend visiting Wilmington for the first time. Wanted her to get the full downtown/ riverfront experience. Great location. Menu is a little bit limited but food was good. Loved the brussels.

   Great dining experience. I had the lamb chops which were done perfectly and had a very tasty sauce. My husband had the catfish and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Our waitress, Nadia, treated us with great respect and was quite knowledgeable about the menu items. Definitely on my list to visit again.

   River 128 was very good. There were 9 of us and everyone enjoyed their meal. I ordered the special which was some kind of fish over black beans, corn & potatoes. The waitress said the fish was like halibut. It wasn't. While the flavor of the fish was good, I did not like the consistency - it was slick and slimy - nothing like halibut. I wish I knew that before I ordered. The other people at the table ordered the chicken and shrimp & grits and said the dishes were very good. One other person ordered the crab cakes and said they were just okay. I will definitely go back as the service & ambience of the restaurant was very good.

   Our server was outstanding, the drinks were delicious but my crab cakes were over cooked, hard, burnt and the outer crust made the inside tasteless. I order crab cakes all over Wilmington and unfortunately, these were the worst. Please improve before I return. Otherwise, a great experience over all.

   The food was good, but the service was very slow. It took me forever to get out of there and to get anything I was waiting for.
