We enjoyed our early dinner at Marina Grill. The grouper sandwich was incredible and the shrimp tacos were very tasty -- not too spicy. The decor and atmosphere are very welcoming. Our server Yaz was excellent.

This may arguably be the best seafood we’ve had in Wilmington. I had the blue crab and corn chowder, which was wonderful and I had the seafood pasta, which was incredible. My wife had the crab cakes. We both had a glass of wine. Total with tips was about $125. The only difficulty we have is parking, and that’s a whole other story. Highly recommend the restaurant

Everything exceeded expectations. Marco was awesome. Just can’t find the words to write how much we enjoyed our evening at Oyster Rock. It’s the highlight of our vacation every time. The food. The service. The view of the water. Already looking forward to next time.

This is by far our favorite place to dine! It checks all the boxes. Do yourself a favor and order the ribeye lightly blackened. By far the best steak I ever ate. The house salad with honey bacon dressing is fantastic.

Really enjoyed our dinner last night. Frank, our server, was terrific. Shrimp basket was really good. So were the salads and fresh bread. Beautiful setting.

    Amazing experience. The server, Chris, was super attentive & friendly. The music was very nice, not too loud or too low. The food was amazing. I had the Lasagna & my wife had the Risoto Caprese, we were both huge fans of our meals. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.
