Delicious! A very nice dining experience with tasty drinks and fun dishes! The gumbo is fantastic and the fries are really great too.

Staff was wonderful, food excellent and atmosphere lovely. Our party of 12 was able to make a reservation (this has been a challenge in the area) and all in our discerning party were pleased with meals and bar drinks. Everything was fresh and seemed scratch-made, down to the tartar sauce and chive butter. Cioppino had just enough heat and a good amount of protein, scallops were perfectly cooked with delicious risotto and sprouts, salmon outstanding, calabash platter worth repeating, wedge salad fantastic. Even the kids were happy with chicken tenders and hamburgers and the fries really were amazing. Only criticism came from the guys who thought the mule was a little too sweet, but the gals liked it just as is.We've been dining in the Wrightsville Beach area every summer for ten years at different restaurants at similar price points. This was top of the list to date.

Oh my gosh this was delicious! Soundside Seafood is where Boca Bay used to be for many years and we came in for brunch on Memorial Day weekend. We started off with bloody Mary and Mimosa and oysters Rockefeller! They are semi-local farm raised and phenomenal! I had the seafood crepes and she had steak and eggs. Mine was definitely the favorite but we shared half and half and both choices were excellent! They also brought us biscuits and homemade jam and butter and a fruit bowl. I'm comfortably full and extremely satisfied... We can't wait to come back for more!! Renee was an excellent server and took great care of us. The outdoor patio was perfect for brunch and nice shading from the summer sun!

Sam, our server assured us we would love her Long Island Ice Teas. We wanted top shelf. She did not disappoint! My friend and I had the calamari and deviled egg appetizers. Very Good! My friend had the brunch burger, it came loaded, onion rings, eggs and all! I had the shrimp and grits. Nice portion, great taste and texture. This place is nice! The decor is like upscale non stuckup. Nice staff, great teamwork. We will return. This is a big plus for Wilmington and native New Yorkers, who call Wilmington home!

Service is fantastic. Any pasta dishes are water with tomatoes, and some seafood. Big plates are just small plate portions on a bigger dish. Scallops need salt to enhance the seasoning, but are grilled okay. Salmon is fantastic. Calamari is cooked well, but the Remoulade’s mayonnaise went bad, which adds to an already over-acidic taste. Just stick to lemon, no vinegar in that stuff, please. They need a warning on the peanut sauce for Brüssel sprouts that are included with the scallops, not just the small plate sprouts. Overall, $300 for 4 people, it felt like students out of culinary school made this? Confusing, since I’m sure they’re skilled.

The deviled egg with fried oyster appetizer was amazing. The shrimp scampi was by far the best I’ve had. My friend had the fresh catch yellow fin tuna and said it had a fantastic and fresh flavor They even have mini dessert “shooters” for when you want just a small ending to a fantastic meal.

Found this restaurant last night while visiting Wilmington. Sat at the bar because the place was packed. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The bartender was also our waitress and made the best ever mojitos. Service was spot on! We will be back!!!!’

5 stars for Grace who was was our waitress last night for Valentine’s Day.3-4 stars for the food She was super attentive and always kept our glasses filled. The oyster Rockefeller was mediocre. The surf & turf was good, they had a special valentines dinner menu also and I had the lobster bisque soup which was great and the lobster ravioli which wasn’t that great but that’s okay, just my opinion. The atmosphere was super cute. Their desserts were delicious and put into shot glasses, loved the key lime pie, my husband had their carrot cake!

Super friendly/efficient staff...loved the local oysters....if you haven't been you should.....

Absolutely fabulous!!!! We will definitely be back best salad I have ever had
