- WFWendyFCoastal North Carolina •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWe sat outside on the lower (uncovered) deck (it was cold, but they had heaters going for us.) The food was prompt, service was excellent. My husband got the salmon and said it tasted a little fishy which he had never had in salmon before, but he ate it all (yes we know he ordered fish, but salmon doesn't typically have that taste). He also had a Caesar salad, which he said was one of the best he has had in a while. I had the filet mignon, and it was cooked perfectly to my temp preference. I also had a side of mac-n-cheese, which I didn't care for much, but that is just a personal taste preference. Overall, we had a nice time. Next time we will make reservations for Valentines a little earlier so we can sit inside!! Haha.More infoRiver 128 RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Wilmington•4.6
- WwbeachdanCoastal North Carolina •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFirst time visiting, and we were very impressed. We were going for valentines, and our babysitter couldn’t make it. Our 5 year old came with us, and there wasn’t anything on the menu that would appeal to someone his age. No worries! They staff went next door to Domino’s Pizza and brought a small pepperoni pizza back for him. Will certainly be back!More infoJerry's Food, Wine and SpiritsPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Southern• Wilmington•4.9
- DDannySan Diego •6 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe've been coming here for 3 years now and always choose this location for any sort of big occasion. In this case, we chose Valentines Day! Food phenomenal. Drinks are always great. I went to park the car while my wife got to our reservation. Came inside to see her, saying she slipped and fell in front of the hostess. Told me the hostess acted like it was no big deal and then was offered a complimentary drink. I felt no need to escalate as it was a busy night and we always enjoy the food. Would look forward to seeing a bit more genuine concern for a slip and fall incident when the floor was wet from something. The drink just seemed like a way to defuse the situation and doesn't help that my wife isn't any bit confrontational.More infoButcher and Barrel by True BluePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Wilmington•4.7
