On a lovely December day in NC we sat outside and had a very nice lunch with excellent service. Busy for a reason as the brunch was very good.

My husband and I went in for appetizers on my birthday the other day, and the food was great! We had the calamari and chicken wings - definitely some of the best we've had. Thank you for a wonderful night out!

We loved our expirence here. We came during lunch rush and wanted seats outside. We were seated by the service door outside (very busy) and wanted to be moved away from the traffic. They were very understanding and accommodated us. Not only that but the food 🤌 wonderful. The shrimp and grits was nicely balanced and the oysters were amazing! Shout out to Vinnie for taking care of us and taking time to talk about the history of the area.

The waitress constantly checked on us, making us feel like part of the family, offering suggestions, answering questions patiently thus fostering the welcoming atmosphere. Food was well plated and quite satisfying to the palate!! Sadly I did not have enough room within myself to consume the whole meal!

Absolutely one of the best restaurants we have enjoyed. The quality of the food, the taste, the presentation were all well above expectations. The servers were very attentive, professional and informative. Great team.

Best crab dip ever. Nachos were a hit at our table.

We were looking for a good dinner after walking the Riverwalk. Loved having free parking on site. Easy to move down from our paid two hour parking spot. Great views from our table. Waitress very helpful answering our questions about the menu. I had the Baja fish tacos and it was delicious. Some of our party asked specifically for no spice or heat in their dishes, but unfortunately there was hot spice. Hush puppies and baked crab dip as appetizers were just enough for all 6 to have a tiny taste of North Carolina. $6 house margaritas were yummy!

Oysters Rockefeller at Elijah's in the past has been the best I've ever had including in New Orleans. We drove 4 hours to come and eat there and the menu had changed and the oysters were terrible.....no bacon, no Hollandaise sauce, not hot, just really bad. We had planned to eat there twice while staying at Wrightsville Beach for 3 days but won't be going back. It was such a huge disappointment. The service was good but not the food.
The food is delicious, kinda sad they got rid of some of my favorites from a year ago but still good. Expensive but that's what's to be expected of an establishment like this. The food is worth the price in my opinion. Would highly recommend for special occasions, dates, and the like.

Lovely views and friendly staff but should have known it wasn’t up to par when they were able to seat us right away and the other river front restaurants all had 30 minute waits. Everything took way longer than expected, thank god we ordered an appetizer bc we had been there an hour by the time our entrees got to us. We got the crab dip and it was really good, the side potato salad was also pretty good but everything else we got was incredibly bland, and two of the four entrees were wrong when we finally did get them. One had the wrong side, but my shrimp tacos ended up being flounder tacos. I was pretty disappointed but I didn’t say anything bc I wasn’t about to wait any longer for them to fix it.

Not the same menu I have loved for years. No Olive and Cheese bread and no cod fish and chips on the menu anymore. Service still great as always. But probably won’t be back due to the elimination of my beloved favorites.

Go on Monday evening. Fantastic, quiet, easy to talk, family night for us! Just order a salad with fried oysters and a top-shelf martini!
