The deviled eggs had too much horseradish. The portions were small. Four small oysters for $18. The beef burger wad dry. The best item was the Tumeric Tonic. But overall we decided not to return. It was too expensive for lunch. You always want to leave with that savory taste as you walk out. Was not there.

The food, although a limited menu, is very good. I just wish the portions were a little bigger because did that good makes you want to eat more. The service is top notch.

Very nice brunch. Coffee cups could be more uniform. Plus, wait staff should have spoons for coffee either already on the table or delivered with tea or coffee.

Just moved here and discovered the best restaurant in Wilmington! Had the best dinning experience at Seabird! The staff is very courteous, professional and very personable. Chris (host) was very attentive to our needs. Crystal (waitress) was very good and provided great descriptions of the food and alternatives. Chef Jay….what can I possibly say…Michelin star!!!!! He was AMAZING! The food he delivered had the best quality and flavors! Simply the best! Mayra ❤️
