    Ropa Vieja
    Alexandra H.

    Came here for the first time and had such a lovely experience. The restaurant is so unique and nice! The outdoor and indoor design is great, the service is amazing and so kind, and the food is even better! Started off with the Salsa Fresca and chips, which was SO good! Then for my entree, I got the Ropa Vieja, which was 10/10! The portion sizes were great and I even had some leftovers for later. Highly recommend this spot and will absolutely return back soon!

    Really beautiful restaurant that's close to Wrightsville Beach. They have a bar section and a dining section. We ate in the dining section. We got the guacamole trio. I thoroughly loved the butternut squash version. The others were good as well but lacked a little seasoning. I ordered the salsa as well and that added the extra seasoning I was looking for when I combined them. I ordered the Arroz con Pollo. The chicken and rice was very well seasoned but the slaw just tasted like raw cabbage. I mixed it with the guacamole and salsa which made for a great dressing. My husband ordered a chicken empanada and brussel sprouts. He said both were really good. The staff were nice and the courses were spaced out well. We would highly recommend

    This place is our favorite restaurant on the island. So fresh and amazing environment. The staff was quick and amazing. Will be eating here every night we are here!

    Reservations recommended this place gets packed, but definitely still has wait to be seating by the bar or at the bar and outside. The place is a small house with lots of hidden table areas to seat. We tried the ceviche sampler, empanadas with goat cheese, coconut shrimp, sancocho and all the desserts. I recommend sticking the original ceviche the others just not my pállate since I don't enjoy sweet with my citrus. The empanadas were good and the sancocho soup was good.

    Always a stop when we come Wrightsville. The service is always the best. Drinks top notch. While I always love the Ceviche, I have never been disappointed with a dish. A definite must eat!!!

    We got a reservation for two for the back patio. There was a fan and what looked like an outdoor air conditioner. It was still very hot trapping heat in the small outdoor space. There were also a lot of flies. Surprisingly they kept landing on our limbs but fortunately not the food so that was a plus. Next time, we will be sure to make an indoor reservation. We shared the Quatro allowing us to sample all the ceviches. The sea bass, mahi, scallops and langoustine were bathed in delicious concoctions of lime, onions and other ingredients which made each cerviche unique. Of the four, I thought the scallops were the least fresh. A few of the scallops dried out likely from being on top of the barrel. The three salsas were ok. The sea bass was really fresh. The Panamanian paella needed a bit more shellfish. It was missing something but Im not sure what. Maybe I'm used to a more wet rice from the paellas I've had before. Overall, I would definitely come back for the ceviches, but skip the salsas and to try the other entree options.

    Coconut Shrimp
    Becky B.

    Absolutely perfect! I got the sample plate with four ceviches. Sooo good, each with their own burst of special flavor. My fav were the Mahi Mahi and Sea Bass. Scallops were good too. We also had the best Coconut shrimp and a fabulous margarita!

    Scallops with pork belly
    Sandra H.

    Taste explosion. My tastebuds were dancing from all of the perfectly balanced flavors. I've been a long time fan of Ceviche's but the special tonight took me to a different level of pleasure. The special was Monk Fish medallions on truffle mash potatoes with crunchy sweet potato crisp and broccolini. The Monk Fish was prepared perfectly. The flavors in this dish were balanced perfectly. Truffle can be overwhelming but this chef got it right. Each bite teased you with the truffle and the light gravy on top has a spice that gave each bite a slight heat which balanced the truffle. The crunch of the sweet potatoes on top of the dish added to the multiple textures of the dish. The chef really did an amazing job on this special. My mouth is watering just writing this review. The chef also came out to see how I liked the dish and all I could say was superbly balanced and delicious. My husband and friend had two dishes that are always favorites on the menu, the scallops with pork belly and the tuna poke. Always great choices. My advice is never leave before you have the beignets and the "pot a cream." You have to eat them together. Every server who passed our table checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed. The manager is also amazing. We sat in the bar tonight but I think every area of this small, cozy restaurant is enjoyable. We are lucky to have a piece of Panama in Wrightsville beach and my compliments again to the chef who wowed me with the special!

The intimate seating, well stocked bar, and unique decor all made for an inviting location for my team. We enjoyed several different dishes including smash burger style sliders, shrimp cocktail, oysters, fresh sushi, poke, and more. Every bite was tasty and they were washed down with classic cocktails and beer selections that anyone could enjoy. The staff were all friendly and helpful. There were no empty glasses or stomachs. I hear that there's going to be a sushi bar upstairs soon, so I've got to come back for that.

No through traffic of wait staff or customers. We ordered drinks and started off with small house salads. Salads are a good portion for smalls. However, we were just barely finishing salads, bread had just come out, then entrees. I guess we thought putting in orders together, food wouldn't come out so fast. Server took our salad plates and handed us our entrees. We both ordered shrimp scampi. So delicious but I took half to go. When food comes out too fast, I just can't finish. I will think to wait on ordering entrees. I really don't like food coming out one after the other. I understand the kitchen makes the food as it comes in, but the timing could have been better. Food and service is always good here. Wouldn't mind waiting a few extra minutes for meals so we don't feel rushed out.

The flounder was good, hot and crispy. The fries basic. Cole slaw tasty. The hushpuppies were not good. Small, over cooked and dry. The food came out fast. The service was great. They had good dinner specials and bar specials too. I will be back. It's a good neighborhood restaurant. 3.5 stars. But sure it will be a four next visit.

The culmination was a lovely sun kissed luncheon on the Crystal Pier seated where we could catch the breezes and see the rolling surf. Having grown up in Wilmington, I was blessed to have the delightful experience of enjoying freshly caught fish lovingly and skillfully prepared by my mother. It has been years since I've truly enjoyed fish. On Saturday, my lunch choice was the Fresh Catch which was locally caught Sea Bass, hand cut and pan seared. It was seasoned to perfection with just the briefest dash of salt and spices and lightly browned by the pan searing. It was served with grilled asparagus and a bed of rice with an elegant white sauce. I don't know when I've enjoyed a meal so much. The lovely end to the meal came with a tempting and delicious slice of Key Lime Pie. Vera G.

    Let me paint you a picture…read more It's a Saturday night, the day of the St. Patrick's day parade in downtown Wilmington. Clear skies and 80 degree weather it's an early glimpse of summer in Wrightsville beach and the area is buzzing. Needless to say Oceanic was the perfect spot to bring our parents for dinner that night. I got the Sage-roasted chicken with potatoes and asparagus and I ate every bite of it. I eat chicken almost everyday at home and am shocked at how good this tasted, the sauce was delectable even the asparagus was admittedly delicious. Aside from the food, our view from the corner table was so incredible it bumped my review from a 4 to 5 stars! The whole experience came as a complete shock to me as I had long been told that you pay for the view at Oceanic while the food was mediocre at best, which I can honestly say is simply not the case. I loved every second of my time at Oceanic and highly suggest a visit when you're in the area!
