    Outstanding from our arrival through dessert. Comfortable and spacious yet intimate dining experience. Our server was informative, very attentive and a delight. From the amazing crab dip through dinner (flounder & a shrimp entree- best ever!) the chef was excellent!! HIGHLY recommend!!

    Brent's Bistro is perhaps the least-pretentious of the fine-dining establishments on the landward side of Wrightsville Beach. It's a cozy, L-shaped venue with seating for about sixty indoor diners, with a dining area that wraps around the L-shaped bar and a limited, weekly menu. Reservations recommended. For our anniversary meal we first split a tasty Lobster "Cargot" appetizer, then each had Pompano, the Catch of the Day: mine was broiled, with the Artichoke and Tomato Lemon Butter sauce, and hers was sauteed with Piccata sauce. Both were nicely done, with memorable tenderness and seasonings. The accompanying Mashed Potatoes were adequate, but the Green Beans were very fresh and nicely prepared (not overcooked, just firm enough). Wayne, our server, was attentive and friendly. The only negative was what seemed an over-long wait between the appetizer order and the meal; considering that we had ordered the entrees by 6:45 or so, when the dining area still had seating, this was surprising--Wayne did apologize for the delay.

    The daily specials were fantastic! Tasty grouper, flounder and lamb moussaka - service was attentive but not intrusive. Ambiance is very nice but at times can be loud. Love this restaurant and each time we return it is better than the last.
