This place is great, it's one of my favorites. The service I good. Their creamy risotto is super rich, and I have to have it every time. Seafood is offered in a variety of styles and price points, all well-cooked. It's quite popular, so reservations are good. I tend to see a lot of attractive late-middle-age couples as well as family groups there. They make several yummy signature cocktails, my favorite is the landed lemon-drop, but the wine list is a little ho-hum. Short and at the grocery store mid level, Kendall Jackson, that sort of thing. It could be expanded, I bet it would sell there. The creme brulee is everything;) Parking is a beast.

I were looking for a fish restaurant to eat to eat dinner.The gentleman advised only sold fish. Eventhough it were closing time, he spoke very kind. And polite to us.

Dismal experience. Went for a birthday and our service was flat out depressing. Emely, was obviously having some sort of bad day - no smiles, just going through the motions. Food was undercooked and underwhelming for the price. Disappointing because the Cameron Village location is fantastic. Won’t be back to this one.

Not a good experience. Kids meal took 25 minutes. The crab dip tastes like horseradish sauce and I'm not sure there was any crab. The manager brought my meal and apologized as he was delivering it due to the quality of the dish because they had a "new chef". It's unfortunate that restaurants can't get good management because it has a trickle down effect.

Food took a while to come out on a not so busy night. Wait staff was very friendly and restaurant was clean. Figure 8 is the best thing I’ve tried on the menu. Prefer the Cameron village location more at the moment.

DWBOn 3/2/24 we arrived the wait was an hour we sat at the bar the bartender acknowledged our presence with no enthusiasm I orders a tea we noticed how friendly & engaged the bartender was with others but not us we decided we’d eat at the bar the waitress took our order never introduced herself & never offered us the customary bread & butter along come the manager offered us a table I accepted the bartender proceeded to make it seem that moving from the bar to a table would quite an imposition while scowling I still wanted the table & left the manager happened by I explained to him that our experience was at the bar doomed from the onset with the bartender & waitress being unfriendly from the beginning up to us leaving for the table I asked him why it seemed like such an imposition to move from the bat to a table he stated that it was so why would he offer us to move then I have been so annoyed dining out I never complain about service when out but this was clearly about a gratuity at bar restaurant staff are already fearful of not being tipped by black peoples & this is no industry secret however I tip 20% whether service good or mediocre this was clearly as case of dwb dining while black our new waitress Valerie was pleasant & engaging as usual were familiar with her from previous visit I’ve said all this to let cape fear know how unpleasant our experience was shocking as a matter of fact & that after raving about how much I enjoyed the fare since they arrived from Wilmington I WONT BE BACK SIGNED DWB

Delicious FOOD, like I'd always said. HOWEVER the service from "management Luke" was deplorable and disgusting. Not only was his appearance disheveled and unprofessional his attitude matched. He looked like he hadnt slept. I had come for my Birthday dinner and i WOULD HAVE left if I didn't lock my key fob in my car. We ended up staying and enjoying the meals (2) ?."Co manager Luke never acknowledged us, never said ONE word to us. He grabbed some menus and silvwerware and literally "took off", I asked my friend were we supposed to follow him"? Then he came back and sat us DIRECTLY in front of the front door. What a...nevermind "bad manager".Alyssa was probably one of the best servers I have had in a very long time. She was perfect in every way. ??I will for surely go back but HOPEFULLY not run into "co manager Luke" again. He never offered a single apology, just excuses.They really deserve 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'s but there always room for improvement and it's rare I would give a 5 stars.

Went for dinner tonight it was underwhelming. We weren’t asked what type of soup we wanted nor what type of dressing for our salad. The flounder was under seasoned and bland. The rice pilaf was not rice pilaf. The fish tacos were ok. When asked how our meal was our server didn’t let us answer and turned around to get us a refill of the wrong drink. When I was paying the bill she asked was everything good to which I asked no not really. She said oh sorry and speed off. Service here is hit or miss and the food is just ok not really a bang up value.

Very good lunch options. I had the smoked salmon Alfredo. Excellent. Met friends and had a long visit. Did not feel any pressure to vacate the table. But there were no waits for tables so we didn't feel like we were imposing.Wheelchair accessibility: One in our group required this option. No issues.
