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.

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!

My wife and I had lunch here this past Saturday and enjoyed it she had the wild bunch burger and I had the rebellion burger and we both agreed they were good. She was brought out the wrong burger at first and on a regular bun (she can’t eat gluten) but they were quick to get the correct one and on the gluten free bun. They have a cheerwine bbq sauce that I would recommend and they are veteran owned. I was recommended to go here from a friend and I would definitely recommend to others!

Excellent pizza, crispy wings and 1/2 price burgers on a Wednesday night. East coast IPA was tasty. We make our own dough and pizzas at home in a pizza oven. These pizzas were the best we’ve had in the area. Simple Sicilian style pizzas good sauce, nice tasting crust. No garlic after taste is a plus. We had a lovely waitress and she took our order. You can do on phones as well but this was definitely a better option. Wish I got her name. Atmosphere- we sat in bar, it’s a bar. There are other areas to sit in. It’s was a rainy night so wasn’t crazy busy. Will return Almost forgot … I have a gluten free kid so having options for her was an added bonus
