This was a lovely place to eat lunch in Wilmington! I’m gluten-free and the staff were so helpful at explaining their kitchen practices, I felt so safe and happy having many options. I had their salsa sampler which was amazing, their salsa is so bright and refreshing. I also had the jerk shrimp tostada with coconut rice, both were stellar! So fresh and flavorful! Highly recommend Savorez to anyone in the area!
Amazing!!! Can not recommend enough staff is so kind and the place is so clean and well kept. Great vegan and gluten free options that actually taste good.
I cannot possibly say enough amazing things about our dining experience at Seabird last night! I made a reservation online for 4 people. One friend was unable to join, so it ended up being three of us celebrating my engagement. When we arrived at our table, there was a congratulations note and an origami swam waiting for us- so sweet! Our server, Erin, was the best server I have ever had the pleasure of knowing- from start to finish, she checked on us frequently, was so kind and friendly that we all felt the warm fuzzies, knew the wine menu in and out (one of my group is a wine professional), and gave the most incredible descriptions of the food options that we all ended up overordering and enjoying everything!
Food run down-
- Shellem Wild Mussels- Unfortunately I was not able to try these as I’m allergic to an ingredient in them. My friend ordered them and devoured them! She gave a 5 star rating!
- Fresno Chili Prok Ribs- delicious! I’m a spice wimp so they were a little hot for my taste, and my friend loved them!
- Roasted Carrot Salad- what a treat! This salad had the sweetness from the carrots and carrot puree combined with a light dressing and thinly sliced limes. It was an incredible salad!
- Smoked Catfish and Oyster Pie- we weren’t sure what to expect with this dish. It came in a bowl like a soup and had a baked topping on it almost like a pita/cheese layer. It was fantastic! It also came with herbs you could shred and add to it.
- Shellem oysters- locally farmed, briney, so fresh! This comes with two different hot sauces, cocktail sauce, and another sauce along with lemons.
- Eastern Cioppino- one friend is gluten-free and dairy-free. This dish was able to be made perfectly for her! She said this is her favorite dish to order, and our waitress said it’s the one she eats the most as well. Delicious!
- We also had two cheese plates- a gouda and a blue cheese- that were delicious and great portions!
- Then at the end, to celebrate my engagement, I had a scoop of lemon poppyseed ice cream!
- Throughout our meal we also had a number of different glasses of wines. We were able to taste each one first, and Erin was amazing about splitting the glasses- we didn’t all want full glasses of wine, and you can’t order a half glass, so we would order a glass and be served two half glasses to share. Brilliant!
Honestly, Seabird is probably the best dining experience in Wilmington. They also keep notes about what food and drink you enjoy so that when you return, the team can suggest items you may really like and keep track of things like allergies. The manager frequently checked on every table as well, and the entire team worked together seamlessly to ensure we had everything we needed at all times. We never felt rushed and were able to enjoy every minute of our dining experience.
Great menu with wonderful and clearly marked gluten free options. They also were very accommodating with outdoor seating and even had heaters on the patio facing the river front. The service was excellent too!
While searching for some gluten free options downtown this place popped up. Their gluten free hamburger bun was Delicious and even had poppy seeds! I had a burger with pork on top and the cheese melted perfectly with some bacon. Can't remember the name but I highly recommend it!
Just discovered this gem of a place for brunch/lunch…great food and atmosphere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very nice to meet Jen today…can’t wait to join them for dinner soon. And to top it off, they have a very nice selection of gluten-free choices!
I'm gluten free and vegetarian and loved the dinner I had a delicious meal here! I had the smoky black bean taco and loved the soft and hard taco combo. My partner had the tequila chicken taco and southern fried steak taco. Flavors were great and we loved the chips and salsa! Chips share a fryer so there is cross contamination but it didn't bother me (not celiac).
AMAZING AND FRIENDLY STAFF. Perfect Gluten free, ( I have Celiacs, it was safe) even told to not get the hash browns due to the binder. Highly RECOMMEND.
I’m in town for a weightlifting competition. I stopped in here looking for a gluten free sandwich and the owner was so friendly and helpful! I was able to get a GF sandwich and some snacks for my competition. She was even making protein snack boxes once she found out the competition was happening nearby!
My friends food looked and smelled delicious! I had a egg and turkey bacon sandwich on GF bread. They did have a special area where they prepped gluten free meals, but choices were limited since I am sensitive. The waitress was knowledgeable about what I could have and helped navigate the menu and left notes for the chef.
From the moment someone else’s trout dip landed on our table to the end of our evening, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole Dram Yard experience. Amanda was our guide for the evening and she did awesome! One of our party was gluten free and she made sure he was aware of even the slightest cross-contamination so that he had the same fantastic experience as the rest of us. I had the pork chop - incredibly succulent with some crispy edges that gave it a bacon-essence. My only complaint was that there should have been more cabbage because that was AMAZING. The whole dish was really well balanced.
My husband had the duck, which can be gamey at times - but not this time. The golden beet puree, potatoes and Demi-glacé made the dish incredible. The blend of flavors was a perfect marriage. One of the BEST duck dishes he’s ever had - top three for sure.
My girlfriend had the lamb ravioli with a mint yogurt sauce - also a delicious combination.
I should also mention the craft cocktails. The bartender has a gift of blending savory and sweet with the spirits they chose. We each chose something different and all were exceptional.
All in all, our best dining experience yet in Wilmington and is definitely worth a do-over. We give this a 5-star and a promise to be back soon. Thank you Dram Yard! And thank you Amanda!
