Reviews for The Sailfish at Marsh Creek Marine in Wilmington, NC

We absolutely love this place for date night! The food is always fantastic, drinks are on point, and the staff is upbeat and... personable. We?ve been during the busy summer season and the slower winter season and I could not recommend this place more.They are always attentive and friendly. The menu has a variety of options and the view is incredible. Thanks for always hostinga wonderful date night for us. Read more

Such a convenient place for a boat day. Have been many times, it wasn?t the best before but they?ve really improved. Still wish... they had more fresh options instead of fried food. I?ll still go back and enjoy shrimp and a cocktail any chance we get. Read more

Amazing views! Will definitely be back by boat or car? our server was great! Tuna nacho app was delicious. Shrimp burger was... lacking, either the shrimp were old or overcooked. $10 Mimosa wasn?t a great price point for a Sunday Funday. Will try somethingelse on our next visit. Read more

Didn't know this little gem existed! What a wonderful surprise. We enjoyed our time here earlier this month. The garlic fries... and spicy chicken sandwich (forgot the name) were to die for! However, our utmost favorite part of this experience was ourwaitress, Mariana. She was very kind, attentive and beyond helpful! Seriously, the smiles in her section were endless. Greathire!!! We can't wait to come back! Read more

Great fried food and location. Unfortunately after many years of frequently eating at this restaurant I don?t see how we could... return after lasts night poor service and dismissive management. Our party had 4 children who waited 45 minutes for a glass ofwater. We waited an hour for our table, which was expected and we were happy to listen to music downstairs while we waited butafter being seated we were ignored for almost 30 minutes. We had to let the hostess know we had not yet been greeted and thenafter sharing frustration with the server there was no urgency in getting us beverages - we then watched the bartender who wasamazing hustle to have everything ready for us and sit in the pickup window unserved for another 15 minutes. We simply askedfor the manager to notify them we thought waiting for 45 mins for water was unacceptable and was met with excuses and no mentionof any potential compensation. (Even to our children's lemonade) We watched as other tables were provided great quality serviceand attentiveness by their servers. Kudos to the chef for great food and hate the poor service tainted our companiesexperience. After the bill arrived and not the slightest discount or acknowledgment of our extended wait in service we askedfor the manager yet again. Being in the service industry I always want to take care of my people with generous tips andgratitude but felt this was not service I wanted to reward. The general manager was unapologetic, rude and dismissive andturned the situation back on us as if a sign on the door should warrant poor service. I understand completely of a long wait tosit or even adult drinks to take a bit to be prepared and served or food to take longer than expected. But for lack ofgreeting, water to be served to children to take 45 minutes will never be okay and shouldn?t be tolerated or defended bymanagement. A simple apology or ownership would have went a long way but unfortunately we were not given either. Read more

Great Time! Great Food! Service was Awesome! Outside Atmosphere was Relaxed and Views were Beautiful!

Great meal! Most friendly and happy staff I have seen in a while. The food was perfect and the view even better. So glad we went... to try it out! I had Chicken Bruschetta and my husband had the swordfish special. All very good! We finished off with a piece ofcheesecake and coffee so we could enjoy the evening a little longer. Read more

They are short staffed but let me tell you, the workers are the nicest, kindest, most considerate human beings on Earth. Addison... was so sweet and the manager (didn't catch the name) was apologetic and sincere regarding the wait time. I would recommend toset a maximum time limit for a party to stay at the table. We waited over an hour and 15 minutes because a group of 3, who paidand didn't have any drinks or food on their table, decided to sit and talk. This isn't fair for the workers who could use tipsor for those waiting and waiting and waiting. They were watching a football game and were cheering cheering screaming which isok for a sports bar but not a restaurant. The food, wow. Everything from the pretzel bytes to the shrimp burger to the catch ofthe day was impressive and trust me, it takes a lot to impress me. Sitting outside was extra nice with beautiful views and theyeven had a candle to keep the bugs away. I can promise that I will be back to this establishment. Worth every penny. Read more
