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.

The weekend brunch was delicious and the menu had something for everyone. I highly recommend the BBQ oysters and the mushroom omelette with goat cheese. The staff was very friendly. We will definitely be back!

It was mine and my friends first time here and all I can say is that we will be back! Our server Sean was wonderful and knowledgeable! The food was delicious and top notch! We ordered oysters as an appetizer and they were phenomenal. I loved the fact that we could enjoy our appetizer without the feeling that our entrees were coming soon after. Then we both had the short rib as our entree, and that was was so delicious! I would so recommend eating here! You won’t be disappointed!
