This place has amazing food!! The atmosphere seemed very nice inside, however we chose to dine outside which was very nice and calm. No beach view but the area around the restaurant was very nice and quiet. They made great use of the space which was very impressive for such a small storefront. The drinks were pretty good, nothing super super impressive but they were good in their simplicity. The food however was some of the best I’ve had. The Steak Frites was amazing. It was perfectly cooked and the combination of the cream sauce, arugula, and steak was so delicious. The service was quick and efficient but did leave some personality to be desired. I wish we had gotten some suggestions and recommendations but our waitress was knowledgeable of the menu when we asked questions and the origin of the oysters we ordered as well. The food delivery was much quicker than I expected for being on a wait. Would visit here again!

This place is a nice stop if you’re on the beach and want a quick bite in walking distance. Everything we ordered was good (nothing mind blowing but satisfied with every dish– and we ordered a lot). Definitely the spot if you’re in the mood for seafood. The seating was a little tight and the stools were uncomfortable but otherwise the environment was nice. Prices weren’t terrible considering the location (anything this close to the beach will cost more). Gratuity was included on the bill. I’m sure I’ll be back again.

Great atmosphere and really, really good drinks. It’s a little pricey, but you are right by the pier, so that is to be expected. I suggest trying out the Tuna Poke it was delicious.

This is an all time favorite every time we visit Wilmington. I always get the shrimp tacos, and my boyfriend got the fried oyster tacos. The tuna poke is also phenomenal. The mudslides never disappoint! Location is perfect for a post-beach meal. We love shark bar

We loved the location because it was right next to the beach. We enjoyed a delicious lunch, we got fried oysters tacos with corn tortillas, a seafood combo platter, and a kids meal. The fish tasted fresh and yummy! I did have to remind the staff of some order preferences. We would come back

We really enjoyed our food and cocktails here. The drinks were well made and not light on the booze which is always a plus. I had the roasted corn and tomato salad with grilled shrimp and it was delicious. We also tried the deviled eggs which were great. Our server was super nice and friendly. All around a good experience.

Great little dive. Our waitress was super friendly and did an amazing job at keeping us squared away. The food was spectacular. We ordered a few appetizers and didn’t regret it. We look forward to going back on our next visit.
