Elijah's - Wilmington

Awesome riverfront location with friendly and prompt service! Food was done to perfection with healthy balance of vegetables and starch. You know when attention is put into the sides, this is as close as the quality of cooking at home as one can get. Yet, this setting is more fun than home kitchen!! Thank you!

Normally Elijah's has been one of the best restaurants I've ever been to, but this last visit was a let down. There was no seating outside which was part of the reason for going. We waited over 10 minutes for the server to come to the table. She kept saying she'd be right with us but that meant we felt like perhaps we should try another restaurant. My wife had never been here and I wanted her to experience this place as I had years ago. The food was excellent when it arrived. A bad day at Elijah's is still better than most restaurants but not what I've come to expect from them. We got there at 2pm and lunch service ended at 3pm. Perhaps they were coasting to the break. I expected no less service at the end of lunch than at the start. I'll modify my expectations going forward.

The food was pretty good! However the waitress was nice and full of smiles but was slightly offensive. Was there on business and my co worker asker how many crab legs you get with a particular order. Instead of just the answer to the question, she gave her the price and said I just wanted you to know how much it cost first. As of to say she couldn't afford it. It was a beautiful scenery as we were right there by the water! The potatoes were a little undercooked for my taste but the fish was amazing! I would go back again if visiting the area.

A wonderful waterfront dining experience. Tables are right on the Riverwalk of the Cape Fear River. Upscale menu with delectable options. The Shrimp Po Boy and the Fried Oyster Po Bo were excellent. Well stuffed sandwiches on delectable rolls, made even better with a yummy horseradish sauce. And, free parking out front. We'll be back.

I love this place! The view when you sit outside is simply amazing. The key is to die. We shared crabs filled mushrooms, my mother got the crabcake sandwich and I got the Ahi tuna sandwich. Everything was very delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive.
