A usual stop for us on Sunday after church service. Always packed and friendly service. If you want a consistent and affordable breakfast then the Boathouse is for you. Great location as well.

Family friendly. Surprisingly spacious. Handicap assessable. Bright. Fresh caught seafood deliciously prepared. Friendly attentive wait staff. We ordered the clam chowder, five stars, and the seafood platter, also five stars. And the mixed vegetables as well as the collard greens were perfection. By the way, I have no idea why it is so difficult for other seafood restaurants to cook delicious vegetables like this restaurant does. Perhaps they should visit and figure it out..The prices were reasonable and the restaurant was very clean at 6:30pm. Just go. If you are lover of authentic seafood this is the place to go.

I have eaten here many times. First time for their Sunday brunch.I was impressed. They had LOTS of choices on the brunch buffet. Bacon, sausage, eggs benedict, sausage gravy, biscuits, grits, salmon, waffles, pastries, bagels and cream cheese. And desserts. And fresh fruit. They also had a gentleman making omelettes or any kind of eggs you wanted.Beverages were extra. The orange juice was good.Service was okay to take plates away and serve drinks.The best thing was the price. Only $17.95. Great value!!

Such an unassuming place. Love the authentic feel. The Turkish/Mediterranean food is absolutely delicious. You can feel the heart and soul that has been put into each dish that you eat. The Kofte kebabs are soooooo juicy and delicious. Why does the rice taste so good?? Everything on the plate compliments each other so well (ie vegetables and shepherd salad) and the sauce they serve with the kebabs is so freaking delicious we had to order another. Also, so cool that they serve Turkish wine. I think they only sell it by the bottle, but so affordable. My husband and I have only tried the white and it was delightful. We will be back to try one of the red Turkish wines!

Unassuming place out away from downtown area, so we did not know what to expect. We loved the firecracker shrimp appetizer, and beet salad was notable too. The server was verY good, friendly and great timing of courses. The crazy delicious thing was the lobster! Two of us had lobster special with ginger rice, and one had tempura lobster - Just freaking out of this world. We will be back for sure - one of the top meals we have eaten on any continent.

Celebrated a colleague's birthday here. This was our first visit. Menu is a bit scary with prices and a foodie's description of food. Shared a salad which was unique in flavors but very nice. Ceylon ice tea was a real treat. Catfish is the house specialty and I can understand why{ very well presented and reasonably priced. Grits and okra were a very good accompaniment. Salt and pepper are not on the table but should be especially with grits. WARNING! Do not season the food before tasting it.

Took my wife there for her birthday. Food was great- different, tasty and flavorful. My wife had the tuna poke and declared it the best she has had in the states and competitive with her all-time favorite from Colours in the Abacos. Service was great. Owner made sure everyone felt welcome and at home. We will be back.

Small restaurant in a small strip shopping center. The grouper, Crab legs, and sides were delicious. Left nothing on our plates. Homemade desserts were tempting so we tried the lighter option (coconut angel food cake) and were not disappointed. The location is far away from downtown Wilmington

My wife and I make it a point to have dinner here while visiting the Wilmington area. My wife had the fried flounder/shrimp platter with cole slaw, hush puppies, and roasted potatoes while I had the grilled shrimp platter with a house salad, green beans, and sauteed spinach. Both meals were excellent. We were there on a week night and were immediately seated. The service was excellent.
