The food is overpriced and not worth it! We left there very disappointed in the whole experience. Even their water and soda tasted bad (salty). Sad it has such bad food in a pretty atmosphere! more

During a recent trip to Wilmington, we decided to try The Oceanic. Our experience was amazing! We called ahead for seating and our wait was minimal (even for a Saturday night), the service was friendly and the view was fantastic! I personally had the Super Duper Grouper and it was a great meal. This was definitely a do-over place for... more

Do NOT waste your money here. Diner-like atmosphere, horrible food and as for the view, it was overcast & windy so we had to eat inside and look at the ocean through dirty windows. Ordered Grilled Salmon with mango/pineapple salsa got charged $30.00. The salmon was way overcooked, the salsa was prepared with canned pineapple and the manager all but... more

Our family group of 12 had a reservatin for the Oceanic for my Dad's 80th birthday. We were on the 3rd floor, which turned out not to be great. Unfortunately our table was located in a place where the views weren't that good. And the room was full and was very noisy! The food and the service were very good.... more

It must be because of the view because there are many places on or near Wrightsville Beach with better food. more

When we were approched by another server who thankfully got our silverware she... more

My husband and I had to wait 45 minutes for an outdoor (pier) table. Nobody told us anything of smoking / non-smoking sections, so we ended up sitting right beside a table full of smokers--and we cannot tolerate cigarette smoke. My entree was okay, but most of the menu selections were greasy, not to mention overpriced. The waiter was not... more

After all the talk, my husband and I expected an outstanding experience. The location itself is wonderful, but that's where it ended. The service was mediocre/slow and somewhat snobby (which I have to laugh at being from Greenwich, CT). The food was so basic and bland that I felt like I was eating in a cafeteria. The price was incredibly... more

We enjoyed The Oceanic Restaurant so much we went back twice while staying in Wrightsville Beach! We had the Calamari, which was lightly breaded and delicious. I love the marinara sauce for dipping. The seafood gumbo was filled with clams and shrimp and quite good. The mahi mahi and salmon were very fresh and tasty. If weather permits, sit outside... more
