3 Best Seafood Restaurants in Wilmington, NC

We had a great time here! Service, food and vibe were all top notch! It's been a while since I had such delicious Rockefeller Oysters! Just devine! Our calamari was also crisp and tasty, as was our flight of oysters. The side macaroni salad with olives and feta was refreshing and perfect for the hot weather. The kids were spoiled with crayons, cold milk and a great burger with fries. (They are not that into seafood, so it was nice to have that option!) Our dessert, a key lime pie was delicious too. Would love to come back here. There are days with live music, happy hour on drinks and oysters, etc. Both inside and outside are very spacious, so I'm sure you can find a spot to dine here. It's a bit quieter, at the end of the Riverwalk, but also bustling. We were there early in the evening, so we had no problem finding a parking spot. However, I can imagine parking spaces light become more limited towards the end of the evening. Keep that in mind.

Such a good first visit to Elijah’s!! You can’t beat the views out pack on the patio if you’re lucky enough to snag a table out there! I cannot, for the life of me, remember our server’s name, but I remember she had just moved here from New York. She was amazing and made the nightt. She was incredibly friendly and a hard ass worker. We greatly appreciate her kindness. She also made an excellent recommendation to get the shrimp blackened on the shrimp tacos and they did not disappoint. The key lime pie is to die for. We had an amazing time here and would for sure return.

Great fresh oysters and a wide variety. Crab fries and crab dip was good too. Service was good and the patio on the water is top notch. Looking forward to another round tonight. Prices are reasonable. Keep in mind I don't care about cost if the food is good. Went for round 2. It was busier, we were seated right away although it took a bit of time for the server to come around. Had 5 new and different oysters. There is a tall gentlemen the runs the joint who can explain the different oysters, very knowledgeable.
