    Dean and his team were highly welcoming, kind, courteous, and caring. Each and every employee had a joyous-type demeanor that made us feel happy to be there. The food was DELICIOUS! The fruit plate and coffee cake muffins to start were perfect; not too heavy and tasty... especially that honey and sumac yogurt! The main brunch courses exceeded expectations. As southerners who moved north, I cannot tell you how much we miss a good biscuit and some flavorful grits... they nailed both perfectly. My fried catfish was almost melting in my mouth. All around, a wonderful and elevated meal that was served by staff that genuinely cared; and experience that made us feel like we were home.

    We had a great time and delicious dinner! Our server, Jacob, was exemplary and patiently walked us through the menu, the courses as they came and was so friendly. I highly recommend ordering the Big Night Out Dinner for 2. We had 3 people in our party and still had leftovers of the main course. Surprisingly, the salad course is not one to miss. My California salad was so good! My favorite course was our banana foster fondue with all the dippers. The whole experience was so fun!

    This was our first time dining at True Blue and our belated New Year celebration. A great way to kick off 2025. Everything was excellent. I had the Pretty in Pink cocktail , we split a shrimp cocktail, roasted potatoes and the oh so wonderful cauliflower soufflé. We both enjoyed the 6 ounce filet - cooked perfectly and had a great flavor! We finished with coffee and tried both the carrot cake and lemon police cake - both were very good. Service (Andrea) was helpful, attentive and very pleasant. Would highly recommend this restaurant for those special occasions.

    My husband and I had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at G Prime. We started out with Estate caviar which was superb! I had salmon which was so tender it melted in my mouth. My husband loved his steak. The drinks and dessert were outstanding as well as the service. Our server was both efficient and delightful. The decor was beautiful. The chandeliers were lovely and went well with the rest of the setting. We are really happy to have a new upscale restaurant in Wilmington as there are not that many. We plan to return soon, and I can hardly wait. We happily welcome G Prime to Wilmington! Joan and Geoff
