   Thank you Seabird!!! You made my husband’s 50th birthday dinner an experience we will forever cherish!!! From the seating, to the lovely lady serving us, to the scrumptious food so beautifully presented, to the fun cocktails, to the ambience,..our overall experience was phenomenal. The seafood tower was our favorite and the dessert complete with a candle and round of “Happy Birthday” song had us floating on cloud 9! Thank you Seabird!!!!

   We went for brunch on early Sunday afternoon. The restaurant is quite beautiful and was reasonably quiet. We each ordered something different and really liked what we received. The drink menu is also very interesting and good. We will definitely go again.

   Dinner at Seabirds was really good, maybe not as great as we had anticipated after reading all the excellent reviews. The service was good and the ambiance was lively. There were people in the restaurant dressed in t-shirts and had visors on, like they had just gotten off of a long boat ride, which we did not anticipate as we felt like this would be a more upscale dining experience. The ribs were spectacular and the oysters were as well. Of the four entrees ordered for our group, two were really good and two were okay. We will definitely try again and make sure we order the ribs and the Oysters, but maybe pass on the Squid Ink Pasta and Soft Shell Crab.

   Recently experienced Seabird and it was……….okay. The “hype” and number of recommendations to dine here made this restaurant an easy choice. Our waitress, Mary, was kind and very attentive. The food was bland and could use stronger flavor profiles. The peel n eat shrimp were tasteless. So, check it out but lower your expectations - if you any high ones.

    This was our fifth time at Seabird, and they never disappoint. The wedge salad was delectable with the addition of shrimp and perfectly fried okra. The tuna and tomato small plate was incredibly fresh, and the tomatoes were the best we’ve had this season. Delicious. Our entrees were all done to perfection, but the cioppino was the highlight of the night. For the other entrees, ribs were fall off the bone yummy, the ink squid pasta had just the right amount umami, and my braised squid was tender and delicious. For dessert, we had the olive cake (super moist), the homemade fig ice cream & our friends thoroughly enjoyed the homemade brownie dessert with vanilla ice cream & caramelized bananas. Whether you’re local or visiting, be sure check out Seabird!

    We have been here several times and unfortunately this was not the 5star experience we have had in the past. The server although very quiet was a good guy and very informative. The broth of the eastern cioppino was extremely salty. The oyster Rockefeller did not taste the same as the past. I unfortunately got the seafood tower. Very pricey for what you get. The ribs were good. My bill was over $300 and honestly not worth it. Very disappointing as we were celebrating my wife’s birthday.

    Excellent meal. Excellent service. Excellent ambience. Enjoyed an array of apps, raw oysters, and entrees…cocktails and wine. We’ve been here several times but I think this may be my favorite meal. Highlights were hummingbird cocktail, catfish pups, peel and eat shrimp, oh dear god absolute favorite was Smoked Yellowfin Tuna and Tomato Salad (we will come back just to have this as entree it was so tasty), and the whole flounder for two was so cool. Everything was perfect. Our server was so patient and attentive. I wish I got her name. But if you haven’t been to Seabird and you’re reading this- go! It’s awesome.

    Our experience at Seabird exceeded all expectations. The chef and staff were so generous and gracious with us. We even had a 1yo with us and they were incredibly understanding and accommodating with her and our needs. The food was outstanding. It was truly an incredible dining experience. The space is incredible and you can tell every piece of the puzzle was intentional. Truly a must-go in Wilmington. Wait, honestly, just come to Wilmington solely for this visit!

    I hate to give Seabird a great review because it’s already so hard to get a reservation. I don’t think they need more business. But they are such a great addition to the Wilmington restaurant scene, maybe they can inspire some of the other spots to try harder and rise up to the level of excellence they so effortlessly provide. Their presentation of oysters and variety is without equal. You must try the Shishito Peppers small plate, they are so yummy and delicate. My steak was perfectly prepared and not over seasoned and the sides were plated beautifully. My daughter had the Squid Ink pasta, which amazing in texture, taste and well sized portion. We shared hand made blueberry cheesecake ice cream. I should have taken some home, it was delicious

    Food overall was very good. Two adults and two kids, was able to taste all dishes. 2 excellent, 1 average (2 had same dish). Service started great and staff were extremely friendly, but went downhill with little response or acknowledgement of noticeably long wait time for food. I chalk it up to newness and hope they work out the kinks. About $5 over price point per dish in my opinion, but I would honestly give it one more chance. Bartender excellent also!

    We loved it! Upscale but relaxed. Everything delicious! We tried all the oyster options and loved them. Highly recommend the Oysters Rockefeller. Loved the ribs, the tuna small plate, the cioppino (second time I’ve had it), and the olive oil cake. We were happy with our cocktails and wine choices. Our waiter Gerson was friendly, answered questions knowledgeably and genially, shifted easily to the relaxed pace we preferred, and stayed on top of all our needs. He even went to refer to our reservation after we ordered to doublecheck that we had no allergies to our choices. My best restaurant experience in two years in Wilmington!

    When you first enter the restaurant you feel it's charm from the Art Deco inspired furnishings and architecture. The wait staff is knowledgable and friendly. I had the catfish and my daughter had the mahi mahi, both melted in your mouth. I would definately go back and or recommend to a friend.

    The food, drinks and service exceeded our expectations. We even had our baby with us and they went above and beyond to accommodate us. The servers were friendly and helpful and the food was fantastic. Best appetizers we’ve ever had (highly recommend the Oysters hollandaise and the cornbread with sorghum molasses). And the squid ink pasta dish was delicious, as well as the catfish. The vegetables on the vegan plate were out of this world. For dessert, the blackberry and goat cheese ice cream and olive oil cake were to die for. Run, don’t walk to Seabird. You don’t want to miss this experience.

    We are frequent enjoyers of Seabird, and always have a delicious meal. The Italian Winemakers dinner was next level! Everything was perfect from the start, And we didn’t want the perfectly paired wines with the exceptional food to end! The staff is always beyond professional, and it shows what a great team Seabird is made of.

    I’ve been attempting to book reservations for Seabird for awhile now, and always seemed to miss the window. It’s a smaller place and is very popular, so I’d recommend booking early. The restaurant is very light and bright, with nice decor. We were seated by the kitchen door, which was a little busy, but we enjoyed the people watching. My husband and I both have allergies (mine to gluten, his to certain shell fish) and the waitress Jessica was very helpful on directing us to what we could eat on the menu or what substitutions could be made. We started with oysters on the half shell, which were great. I got the fish carpaccio which was amazing and my husband enjoyed his melon salad. We both had the swordfish as an entree and we cleaned our plates. Great flavors and everything tasted so fresh. We shared a gluten free brownie with cream and roasted pecans for dessert. We loved that there was as much cream as there was brownie, so it was lighter and not so dense as many gluten free desserts are. We will definitely be back!

    Seabird is hands down my favorite restaurant in Wilmington. Be sure to make a reservation in advance, as it’s a local favorite and walk-ins can be tricky. The service is unparalleled. You feel like you’re treating yourself to a special night out, but without any fuss or pretension. Everything on the menu is delicious, and it changes seasonally, so every time I go I try something new and am always delighted. Cocktails are unique and divine, and the wine list is thoughtfully curated. Chef Neff and his team are the best!
