The food was fantastic, the presentation of every dish was perfect. You could definitely tell that it was all locally sourced. Our server, Sean, was such a professional and really added to the great experience. It was upscale dining without being pretentious. It was a great night out and totally worth the drive from Fayetteville.

Seabird is my husband's and my favorite restaurant in Wilmington. The food...delicious and beautifully presented. The service...fantastic! The ambiance...warm, friendly, welcoming. The location...great (it is a short walk...after dinner...to the Cape Fear River and the river walk). We love dining at Seabird and love introducing friends and out-of-town guests to this fabulous little gem in Wilmington. Make a reservation! They fill up quickly.

Wonderful experience dining at Seabird! Loved the seafood tower and the catfish and oyster pie. Our server Erin was amazing and explained everything thoughtfully and gave us plenty of time with each course! She made the night very special! Desserts were phenomenal too!

Always our go-to spot for oysters! We tried the tuna tartare this time as well and *chef’s kiss*. Never disappointed with the quality and service!

Another great visit to Seabird, one of the best restaurants in Wilmington. This visit was for Brunch, great menu with many local options. We was sitting right away, the restaurant was busy with only one other table sitting empty (not for long), but the restaurant was running smoothly, and we was greeted by our server right away,- The server explained the menu, and pointed out what made some of the dishes extra special. We order coffee (served fresh and hot) right away, and we order our entrees. Both entrees was delivered in 10 minutes, and was delicious! We will be back again soon! What I really love about Restaurant Seabird is that the restaurant is great for so many things…. A drink (or two) at the Bar, many times with a couple of appetizers, for a great casual meal on a weekday, for a nice get together, dressed up a little for Friday or Saturday and of course for Brunch on the weekends…. You will be happy if you visit, I do recommend making a reservation for the dining room, have always been able to get a chair or two at the Bar !
