    We had a great time and delicious dinner! Our server, Jacob, was exemplary and patiently walked us through the menu, the courses as they came and was so friendly. I highly recommend ordering the Big Night Out Dinner for 2. We had 3 people in our party and still had leftovers of the main course. Surprisingly, the salad course is not one to miss. My California salad was so good! My favorite course was our banana foster fondue with all the dippers. The whole experience was so fun!

    Food was great and service was excellent. Server suggested the Catch of the Day and it did not disappoint. We were a party of 5 and had reservations but some tables were available. Would recommend to anyone. Parking was easy- across the road.

    It was a good lunch. Our only negative was the fajitas lacked adequate seasoning. We had to ask for more of the picante sauce to add to our meal.

    My husband and I had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at G Prime. We started out with Estate caviar which was superb! I had salmon which was so tender it melted in my mouth. My husband loved his steak. The drinks and dessert were outstanding as well as the service. Our server was both efficient and delightful. The decor was beautiful. The chandeliers were lovely and went well with the rest of the setting. We are really happy to have a new upscale restaurant in Wilmington as there are not that many. We plan to return soon, and I can hardly wait. We happily welcome G Prime to Wilmington! Joan and Geoff
