This was our second experience at Seabird for a birthday event and this time we brought a whole group to enjoy this amazing experience and fenomenal food! We cleaned every bite from our plates! I am rarely as pleased the 2nd time around at an establishment, but Seabird has definitely got it right! I think it’s the top tier of fine dining in Wilmington and would happily return time and time again! Tipping my hat to this place, it’s without a doubt worth every penny!

The service was great, but we were disappointed in the portion sizes and the food, while good, was not outstanding, which we were expecting for the price. My friends ordered the tuna Bolognese and could hardly find any tuna. One time they thought they saw a bite of tuna, but it turned out to be a tomato! 😡 The smoked catfish entrée was good, but not great! Overall, our party of 6 said we would give it a 6 or 7 out of 10.

As always, the food was just incredible. It was beautifully presented, creative in ingredients, wonderful in taste, flavor and mouthfeel. Seabird is one of our favorite restaurants. Sunday afternoon, the bar was a bit slow, my husband's martini didn't arrive until half way through dinner and the glass of water with ice came after that. Otherwise, it was an outstanding dinner.

Our first visit to Seabird was what it was advertised to be. The food was delicious, and the service was great! We ordered the seafood tower, and it did not disappoint. For those wanting to taste a variety of seafood options and who have an adventurous pallet, this is the perfect menu selection. Crystal was a courteous and charming server. Try it out for your self!
