    Great spot for a first date! The back deck is heated and has a nice vibe with the Christmas lights.

    We enjoyed a restaurant on the river that we had not been to yet. The view with the sunset is beautiful as usual for Wilmington. We started with PEI mussels in white wine sauce with garlic and tomatoes. It had bright flavor with lots of garlic to spread on the toasted bed. Sauce was great for sopping up. I forgot the picture of those. The fried chicken breast with Cajun gravy, mashed potatoes and collard greens was so crispy you could hear it when it was cut. The gravy was creamy and with good spice. The blackened catfish was cooked to a crisp outer layer and definite blackened spice. It was served with grits that kind of dissolved in the broth. The broth was loaded with corn, okra and tomatoes along with more seafood including shrimp and mussels. Both are very filling dishes.
