Marina Grill 18 Harnett Street, Wilmington, NC 28401

"We as a couple, came in on a Monday evening around 5ish and were immediately seated. Our server was Landry and was very friendly and helpful with suggesting items on the menu. We had the Bourbon Smash and Old Fashioned Paloma for cocktails and the Tuna Nachos to start. The nachos were delicious. Loved the ponzu? and sriracha sauce drizzled over. For dinner I had the Surf & Turf special, fried shrimp with NY steak over mashed and seasonal veggies and my boyfriend had the Scallop & Shrimp Risotto. I managed to get one bite of his because he inhaled it. My steak was cooked to perfection and my veggies were seasoned with citrus and were delicious. We finished off with a slice of Chocolate PB Cake and Bread Pudding with vanilla ice cream. It took a bit for the dessert to come out but rightfully so because the Bread Pudding came out warmed on a small skillet. Absolutely delicious and a large portion that I ended up boxing up. The atmosphere was relaxed on a New Year's night of watching Alabama v Michigan game. Very clean and smiling staff. Would love to come again on a weekend."

"It was recommended by a friend who came a few nights ago. The place was mostly empty, but they made us wait 30 minutes (she literally put that into the reservation system when we checked in - sure enough, the txt came in 29 minutes later). They parked us next to a very large, full, and loud table, even when half place was empty. Apparently, on Saturday evening, they have a horribly limited menu. It looks like a cheap to-go fry house menu - I can't even read it, but it's attached. Steaks were not cooked to temperature, were chewy. Fries were cold and somewhat soggy - but had cheap looking sauces. No veggies or salad options. Basically, it's like a bad diner. There are many better places in town... at much lower costs.... The strawberry lemonade was really good, and necessary....."

"Very good service! We sat outside, & the views were great. The food was delicious, & the drinks were tasty. The crab stuffed salmon was AMAZING. Our waiter was very kind & attentive. I recommend this restaurant for sure 10/10"

"This place has the most extraordinary views! This ocean view is absolutely beautiful! They have low and tall chair seating options. After you eat, take time to step outside and take in all the beauty that awaits."
