Casual and fun place to gather a larger group of people. We had three picnic tables in the back open to the outside and umbrellas up to keep the sun out of our eyes. Nice view of the river over a parking lot but still nice. Great service and food.

Very soggie and greasy food and not really tastefull. The so called "french baguette" is not even at all a baguette, it is a shame for France if you would call this a baguette.

I really love the atmosphere in here. The main dining area and bar is totally beach themed and laid back with cool lighting. They have an amazing back deck that looks out over Downtown and you can people watch from the front outside area. The place is not as clean as I would have liked it to be. And although my server was very nice, she failed to remove plates and glasses from my table the whole time I was there. I had the Shark attack which is their Bloody Mary. Honestly, wasn't a big fan. The ahi tuna appetizer was good, not great. CB salts oysters were delicious and only $2.00. They have a pepper relish and horseradish that it comes with. The shrimp scampi flatbread was decent. All in all, much better raw bars in town but still a cool place.

Great atmosphere, fantastic food(kitchen staff are the best phenomenal service!!) I highly recommend the shrimp and grits, shrimp po boy and the calamari. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu! And the oysters are delicious! Try the Ted pepper relish too!!

I was surprised at the new feeling throughout the place from the hostess to the rear outdoor seating, it seems like everything has been stepped up a bit in the past month or so. I live just a couple blocks away so frequent shuckin' shack for their local oysters (today had CB's, mamas, sounds and bays) but with all of the new places it's been a couple months. The menu has changed and I think most obvious of all the staff has changed. The hostess was warmly welcoming and I cannot say enough about our waitress and even another waitress stopped by to see how we were doing. I have been to the front Street downtown Wilmington location no less than a dozen times in the past year and I've always been happy but this was by far my best visit. Is there new management or ownership that anyone knows of?

DO NOT patronize this establishment. We should have left when my water glass was delivered with food on it. Anyhow, visited this place during the azelia festival. They had $2 mimosas on the menu. We ordered four. When we got the check they charged me $5.50 per. Service was subpar, did not have most of the items on the menu.

Had a fantastic day at this place. Food was good, service was great. Outdoor TVs so we could watch March Madness in the sun with our dog. They turned the tv to the channel we wanted and even turned the sound on for us. We will definitely be coming back in the future.

Our waitress was super sweet but could use a lesson in writing down the correct order. Several items were wrong however she did fix it as fast as possible and the food was delicious.

I'm not sure what the bartenders name from last night was...but she was AMAZING. She made the best old fashioned. The food was so good we got steamed oysters and shrimp. There was live music which was awesome! I also tried my first oyster shooter. So fun! There was a guy I'm assuming was the manager or owner who was helping everyone which was really nice to see. Great atmosphere all around.

Great seafood spot right downtown. They have specials everyday and a great happy hour from 4-7pm. This is one of their many locations. They have indoor and outdoor seating.
