Disappointed in their buffet breakfast. For $18, not a lot of options except you can get your eggs or omelet made to order which I could have ordered off the regular menu. Potatoes were cold, dry and hard. Bacon was soggy and sausage was good but a little under cooked. The toaster for the bagel was not working properly so it took 6 times through the belt to get it toasted.

We tried Belgian waffles and it was great. Extra points for the syrups. The cape fear Benedict was okay.

Wait staff was very friendly. It is right by the pool so it was a bit loud. Overall food was very good.

We were a group of four just wanting cocktails. We sat at the bar and the bartender was Grace. She was amazing! She didn’t just make our drinks she crafted each one with care and creativity. Our drinks were spectacular! Grace was easily engaged in conversation and is very knowledgeable about the art of cocktail making and spirits in general. We had a delightful and relaxing time and look forward to returning.

Wish we could give in-between rates, this would be a 3.8 Stars versus a 3. Three, only because it is not a solid 4-star experience.

As hotel restaurants go, this one is definitely very good. As a vegetarian I do wish they had a few more options for those of us who are meat free, but that said, the Tomato Pie I had was absolutely scrumptious and being that I live across the street from the hotel, I will definitely be going back just to have that again.

We were guests at the Ballast Hotel so we went down for a quick bite. The food was delicious, the view was amazing (sunset with the Battleship) but the real star….the amazing service!

We came in for afternoon drinks and a quick bite. We had a great experience. Our waitress was friendly and professional. The drinks were awesome and the quesadilla was DELICIOUS! We recommend it. The decor is also really cool. Super clean.

The food was good but not necessarily amazing. We had the burger with a side salad and fried green tomatoes. It’s nice being able to sit outside by the Riverwalk but as a nonsmoker I did not like eating around all the smoking.

Wow! Just. Wow. Stayed the night recently with a special lady friend. However, I spent most of the time at the bar with Grace. Her cocktail and spirits knowledge is truly second to none in Wilmington. The menu she has curated there is impressive, thoughtful, and exciting. Best gin and tonic I’ve ever had (no, seriously). Needless to say, my special lady friend is no longer talking to me but totally worth it. 10/10 recommend
