Disappointing service – We were looking forward to a special dinner. We arrived on the early side on a Thursday, and the restaurant was not busy, although there did appear to be a few large parties. Our server took over 5 minutes to appear and offered no explanation. The bread and butter arrived only after our entrees and our asking if they served bread. There was no cream with the coffee, initially, and no explanation again. No one refilled our coffee. There was a long wait for the check. And overall, the server was not ver... read more

Eh... – I ate here tonight and was very excited at the beginning of the meal;wine and bread were great. Then, came the appetizers, which were OK. #1 had the fried green tomatoes and #2 had the fried shrimp with Texas Pete aioli and slaw. Not bad. THEN, came the main courses. #1 had the flat iron- -the 24 hour marinade was disgusting. Absolutely did not mix with the strong taste of the wood fired grill. Probably should have been a 12 hour marinade. #2 had the special- -a flounder. Why do you fry one side and leave the skin on... read more

Yummy, etc. – We've eaten here twice. Great food, great wine, some great views. Waiters are attentive. Not a bad thing to say.

Great for romantic date – Great food, service, and drinks. We sat outside on the top patio and it was a beautiful view. The only weird part was walking up the stairs to the top patio. It felt like we were going through a part of the restaurant that was not for guests. But once at the top, it was fine. I thought the waitstaff did a great job despite it being prom night and thus many highschool kids looking for refills on their cokes and bread. Our waiters were Sam and Matt. I highly recommend the 24 hour marinated steak with ... read more

Good Food but Go Early – OK experience. The atmosphere is nice but predictable. We had a relatively early reservation and were seated quickly. Our waitress was wonderful and made good suggestions. Our app's and drinks came out quickly as well as our dinner...although the rest of my dinner was delicious they seriously served INSTANT potatoes! There is no reason why any restaurant should put those on a plate-especially at those prices! Once we had been served dinner we never saw our waitress again and we waited over an hour to... read more

Ok Seafood – We went with a group of friends to 18 Seaboard last night. First of all, this restaurant looks fantasic inside and out. Very trendy and upscale. Our reservation was at 8:30 and we got there early (8:00) thinking that we would have some drinks at the bar. The hostess was able to sit us right away (table of 6) which was nice. The food on the menu is unusual which I think is a good thing. You definetley will be ordering something you have never had prepared this way before. We also ordered the shrimp as an appetize... read more

Affordable and Tasty – I ate here with a group last night for the first time expecting another overproced hip restaurant and was extremely surprised. Our service was professional and everything at the table was delicious. The biggest surpise was how inexpensive it was. Every entree is under $20 and several hover the 15$ range. It was a little noisy but I was there on a Friday and it was packed. Will be back soon.

Might try again, but will probably pass..... – We had a large party on a Friday night (17). My husband and I joined the party a touch late and waited a good 15-20 min for a drink order. Asked the manager for a cocktail waiter and he was very snippy with us, something about the number of folks in the party. We ended up walking up to the bar from our table. Service was extremely slow and perceived as unorganized all evening. The one waitress they assigned to our table was not experienced enough, it seemed, to handle a group ou... read more

Highly overrated by News and Observer – It was rated 3.5 stars by the N&O so we expected a treat. That was not to be, though the asparagus salad was a definate 3 to 3.5 stars. It was downhill from there , the Flat Iron steak was average and the fish was dry, old and overcooked. The wait staff tried but looked as though they still needed training on where to be when. We would definately not try again.
