I'm on a road trip just passing through. I was looking for a seafood restaurant that was not a corporate chain. I saw a sign for the Reef Seafood and Steak restaurant in Wilmington, Delaware, and I went there. I had the calamari and the sea scallops. They were both delicious! I was so glad I stopped. My waitress was very friendly and professional.

This is an amazing place to visit. The atmosphere is incredible and a breath of fresh air. I was looking for a restaurant to take my wife out. To propose to her all over again after 25 years of marriage. I call them up the last minute to help me surprise my wife, they was able to accommodate and help me to pull it off with the live band.my wife was esthetic. Thank you once again to all the staff of Reef.

I had a wonderful experience at The Reef Seafood & Steak, and it was amazing. The atmosphere, service, food, and drinks were all exceptional. I opted for a pitcher, and it was worth it. The live music was fantastic, adding a perfect touch to the evening. I would highly recommend this establishment to others.
