Restaurants near Oak Island Lighthouse

You can’t forget Michael’ ultra deep voice. His level of service was phenomenal. He went out of his way to make us all feel he genuinely cared that we were happy. While I wasn’t overly happy with basically charred beyond recognition Porterhouse for 2 that arrived to the table sliced in cubes?? I managed to muster the courage to eat it so as not to bring a negativity to my 70th birthday celebration at Ruth’s Chris, something I had been doing for the last 45 years. It was probably the single worst Porterhouse steak I’ve ever eaten. Looked like the chef got busy and make left it in too long, not to the point of being consumed by the flames but darn close enough to ruin the flavor with The burnt bone running through it. Having it pre-cubed for me was a first and something I will ensure never happens again. However, Michael our server and host couldn’t have been more delightful to work with. He is a valuable asset to your team.

We were seated at a lovely private booth. Our waiter, Gavin was outstanding. The food and drinks were delicious. We will definitely be back soon.

Brunch was excellent! The BBQ Oysters were smokey and creamy, a delightful surprise.. I had Harissa Smoked Tuna Benedict... the tuna was prepared well! The dish was rich and presentation was beautiful. I also enjoyed the Cozy Bird Cocoa, at the recommendation of my waitress. Sooo good! To complete the experience, I ordered the Browine Sundae with a carmel banana ice cream topping. The staff was wonderful! I am a visitor to Wilmington. The Seabird Brunch was a highlight of my stay here! I highly recommend it!

We shared a Stromboli, unless you have a very big appetite it is big. Our friends had spaghetti and meatballs and a cabonara. The service was fast and the waitstaff wonderful.

Our server recommended the crispy brussel sprouts and they were delicious. The beet risotto with salmon was very good too. We had good wine and the Tiramisú tasted like homemade in Italy. My waitress was lovely but I forgot her name unfortunately.
