    Seabird in Wilmington, NC, offers a memorable dining experience with expertly prepared dishes. The swordfish schnitzel was perfectly cooked, while the yellowfin tuna bolognese and fried oysters romaine Caesar impressed with fresh, vibrant flavors. The oysters were exceptional, fresh and briny, making them a highlight of the meal. Though the meal was fantastic, I had hoped for a complimentary dessert to celebrate my wife’s birthday, as I marked it when making the reservation. Overall, Seabird is a top choice for an unforgettable meal.

    Food was good however the hostess acted like it was a problem adding a 3rd person to our party. We also wanted a booth closest to the windows. It took her several minutes to gather the menus and by that time I had already headed towards the booth we wanted. It was 11 am and no one was there?!
