We came in from out of town and it was a very romantic dinner for us. The food was absolutely amazing! The bacon wrapped scallops are delicious! We came back a few hour laters for the bar and it was the most fun out of all the beach bars! I come here every time I come to Wrightsville Beach!

Great shrimp and grits. Little pricey but the price of admission

We were a little hesitant when we walked in because the restaurant was completely empty when every other place in town had hour long waits. We decided to stay hoping that we would get quicker service fir the 3 kids, it would've been faster to wait for other two restaurants. It wouldn't have been so bad waiting if the food was good, but it was not. The kids mac n cheese is Kraft at best, the ranch dressing tasted sour and the female manager told us that was normal! Multiple employees to include the female manager were standing around on their phones while we waited for our food. We would not recommend.

Great food and awesome service provided by workers. Great selection of drinks and did I fail to say really great food.

We all ordered the shrimp and grits. The chef came out and asked if he could prepare it a few different ways for us. We agreed and he personally brought out two different recipes of shrimp and grits to us. They were incredible! We will go back next vacation.

Fantastic place to go for dinner. The servers were amazing and the food was off the chain. I can't wait to go back.

All the other restaurants had hour long waits and when we went in and asked, there was only a 15 minute wait. We decided to wait and it was well worth it! The food was impeccable and the staff was very nice and accommodating of us. We highly recommend this restaurant to anybody that comes to Wilmington!

22 North is such a nice restaurant. From the food to the look on the inside. It is an amazing dining experience. The catch’s of the days are always so tasty. The salmon was perfect in a salad!

They literally turned us down at the door claiming to have not enough cooks in the kitchen. I don't buy it and I would NOT EVER go back or recommend this place. And we were not even there close to closing. Zero stars is more appropriate.

So disappointed in our meal. The gator bites, calamari and hot and spicy fried chicken were heavily breaded and overcooked. The inside had virtually disappeared and all that was left was crust. The gator bites were served on top of a mysterious substance they called risotto, but tasted more like orzo and cream. The salmon was old and the entire plate was slathered in too much sauce. This is sad because the food here used to be really good. The server was very sweet and enthusiastic so one star for service.

The best calabash platter I’ve ever had!! The shrimp and catfish were absolutely amazing and the fries were really good and crispy. They home make their dressings, and the deserts were so good! It’s wonderful for families and very kid friendly:)

This place has a little something for everyone!If you are looking for a great dinner with fresh and LOCAL seafood or something from the land then this is definitely the place for you. Seafood is delivered daily from a local market and the chefs create one of a kind entrees each night. The atmosphere is one of casual dining experience with exceptional food and drink pairings. The staff are knowledgeable about the menu and will help you in any way possible. If you are looking for more of a bar scene then you are luck as well! Around 10 pm (when dinner ends) The restaurant is transformed into a hip beach bar with great drink specials and friendly bartenders.

Every course was impecable, I feel like my brother makes better scallops.But hey, He's my Brother.

My big complaint is that this place advertises that the menu is a chalkboard only menu. Leading you to believe that the menu is fresh every day. This is not the case. The menu we were served was a very generic one. I've left my review at three stars as what we did receive was very good. The service was a little lacking, but the back of house obviously knew their stuff. However, do not advertise a unique dining experience that is based on the fresh catch of the day when you have a formulaic menu.
