    Dinner was fantastic. From the crab dip appetizer to the entrees to the special puff pastry Valentines dessert. I had the stuffed salmon and my husband had the filet. Both were delicious and h could cut the filet with his fork. Our waiter, Alan, was great too. Attentive but not overbearing.

    Wonderful street tacos. The house margarita with jalapeño infused tequila was amazing. The hot salsa is delicious and hot albeit the fire is overly long lasting. Yowza! The salsa verde and house made quac was delish! The service was consistently on point throughout our entire visit, not too much and not too little. Our waiter had the perfect attentivness. The parking is a little unusual, you actually park on a pier over the water. We enjoyed ourselves with great food and professional service. The only minor critique I would have is the music was one notch above the perfect volume and some of the halogen spot lights were on the bright side of comfortable when seated at our table. Some light adjustments or dimmer would improve the ambiance to perfection however, it appeared to vary by table. We got a bright lit one due to some misaligned art work spot lights. We will definitely visit again and again. This is a very special must visit destination on the Wilmington River Walk.

    We really enjoyed our first visit to this wonderful place and it won’t be our last! Mike, our server, was friendly and quite informed of the menu and checked on us often. We especially loved the ambiance with the fire log TV and good music.

    We were greeted warmly, Flower waited on us very attentively and we were never waiting on her. The cauliflower soufflé was awesome. The filet I had and the burger my wife had were both great. Very delicious and well presented. We also enjoyed the wedge salads. Thanks for a great experience !!!
