Food and service were amazing.
We went to River 128 on a Wednesday, and there were not too many people. The food was very delicious, and plenty. We sat outside it was airy and comfortable.

River 128 Restaurant is located along the riverfront in downtown Wilmington, offering wonderful atmosphere and a breathtaking view of the Cape Fear River and the Battleship. The space is clean, modern, warm, and inviting. It is a great place to enjoy the water, hear the waves, and is a great date spot.
The food is described as delicious, exceptional, and the very best seafood, though some find it overpriced or not very flavorful. Specific praised items include the clam chowder, Black Bass Barramundi, smoked wings, sweet potato wedges, the duck entree, the burger, lobster ravioli, a surf and turf special of filet and scallops, the charcuterie, and Brussels sprouts. Happy hour features half off apps. The service is generally noted as attentive, kind, helpful, and top notch, with staff who are super nice and on top of everything to ensure a fantastic experience, though it can sometimes be super slow.
The restaurant is popular and packed, but can handle large groups with little wait. Reservations are easy to make. Drinks, including NA and cocktails, are very good with a great selection. It is a must see and a place many look forward to visiting again.
