Best food restaurant. The pork and scallops were wonderful, have returned 3 times just to get that. The empanadas were great so was the desserts. read more

Pros: cute ambience Food was decent, best part was the ceviche sampler for $30 with 4 ounces each. My favorite was the original & coconut Fish dish was ok, nothing special, same with paella. Overall- ceviche rocks!! And the yucca fries were really good too. Cons: small place and you really do need to make reservations to eat anywhere in Wilmington apparently even on a weeknight since everyone goes out to eat there. read more

We didn't have a reservation but got right in at 5 with our party of 4. It filled up quickly so either have reservations or go early. We had sea bass ceviche, margaritas, blackened mahi mahi and an order of empanadas. It was delish, our server was very attentive and price was just right. We will be back! read more

Great food, great service and fun ambiance/space. We enjoyed the guac. The ahi tuna and Brussels sprouts were awesome.

This is our MOST favorite place to eat when we are in Wilmington and it remains so still yet! We ate here last weekend while we were in....made reservations (always recommended)....and feasted! Parking is still wonky and tight, which is really the only "negative"....but it obviously doesn't deter customers. We started with the ceviche samoler and yhe guacamole---YUM. And then we had the seared tuna on brusseel sprouts, the la plancha mahi, and the speckled trout special. Each of us absolutely loved our dishes. They were so deluciously prepared and we loved that we had leftovers for the next day. Ceviches is truly the best spot for dinner! read more

So glad we finally had a chance to come here for dinner! It really lives up to all the hype. When you come in, the atmosphere is laid back but really impressively decorated. We had a reservation and were seated right away on a Thursday night. Our table was on their outdoor patio area with the fake plant/bush wall, and though a little worried it might be too warm, it was kept actually quite temperate. Our server came to get drink and food orders, and our group had decided beforehand that of course, we need to get some ceviche. We started with margaritas and the yucca frites, as well as the small mango-mahi and small mixto ceviches. What an amazing start to the meal. The ceviches were incredibly fresh and served with warm salty tortilla chips. Both were a different experience of flavors that paired extremely well together, and especially with a marg. The yucca fries were served hot along with a jalapeno aioli (in my opinion, somewhat mild). The frites came with 8 huge fries, so everyone was able to have two at our table. The small size ceviches were perfect to let everyone have a few bites of one but not ruin ourselves for dinner. I ordered La Plancha - mahi for my dinner, and I was pleasantly surprised by the large portions since I had read reviews that stated the portions were abysmal. Not here! The mahi-mahi was perfectly grilled and tasted fresh and was perfectly flaky. It was served on a bed of rice with salsa on top. On the side was the chef's daily vegetable (broccolini) along with a roasted corn & peppers mix and patacones, which are a kind of fried plantain. Also ordered was the Ropa Vieja, Jerk Shrimp Skewers (not pictured), and Blackened Tuna (not pictured). Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals and since the portions were so large everyone got to try each dish! Seriously need to add this restaurant to your list if you find yourself in Wilmington or Wrightsville beach. read more

After waiting six years to finally try out this restaurant, I was able to visit this year for my birthday! I was literally like a little kid in a candy store. This is one off of my bucket list and let's say it did not disappoint from the service to the ambience everything was amazing, we started out with cocktails and I got the Panamanian painkiller since it was one of my favorite cocktails and it was amazing. We then had all of our items brought out at once and we chose the ceviche sampler the scallops and pork belly entrée and empanadas the ceviche was extremely fresh and absolutely divine, I wish the tostadas could've been a little more crispy or fry to order but they were still decent. The langoustine ceviche was actually my favorite. The scallop and pork belly entrée was absolutely amazing. The scallops were cooked perfectly and they were huge and the pork belly asparagus and mashed potatoes were all divine. We got the Carne Asada and the chorizo and goat cheese empanadas I think the Carne Asada was my favorite. I'm so excited that I finally got to try out Ceviches. read more

We had heard about Ceviche's but this was our first experience. I made reservations and we dined on the back patio which was really nice. We started off with the guacamole sampler. The varieties were traditional, mango and goat cheese. All were fantastic. We also got the La Nina ceviche sampler which is 2 ounces of each of the classic offerings. They were all delicious!!! Our entrees were fantastic as well ( we ate too much, but with a menu like this it was difficult not to )!! I got the monk fish which was blackened and served over roasted broccolini and sweet potatoes. The fish was perfectly cooked and the accompanying vegetables were delicious. My husband got the paella and it was out of this world. Our friend got the chorizo and goat cheese empanadas for his entree and enjoyed them very much. We had skipped lunch and were so excited about eating that I didn't take any photos. I wish I had because the food looked as great as it tasted! Service was excellent too! We will definitely be back!!! read more

I was very pleased with the restaurant , food and service. The restaurant has a nice decor which is inviting and charming. The food was fantastic. Great flavors and combination of flavors. We had the Jerk Shrimp Skewers and Corvina a la Plancha. Both entrees were delicious. The vanilla flan was super delicious. Our server was very helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely a must go if you are in Wilmington. We just had a great night. read more

A Caribbean vibe with fresh on their mind. Let's start with the ambiance; I felt like I was drifted away to a small island with a variety of clean fresh seafood options. We ordered a little bit of everything. The ceviche sampler was amazing from mahi to calamari. All the ingredients were blended in to enhance your overall taste. It's called Ceviche for a reason and they definitely did not disappoint me. Yummy! I also, had the special with shrimp taco and mahi taco and it came with cilantro rice. I'm a starch girl and loved it. My husband had the empanadas. What a great way to start lunch. Oh, snap I can't forget about the seasonal guacamole. read more

Loved finding this one the way out to the beach. Tons of seating, a great menu, and super fresh and flavorful fish. The servers are quick, friendly, and are happy to share which parts of the menu are their favorites. The ceviche selection is good; changing daily based on what fish is fresh and available. I recommend getting a sampler and a couple of cocktails after a day on the sand -- no better way to unwind and relax! read more

Fresh food, delicious drinks, and great ambiance! Our waitresses were so friendly and shared their favorite menu items with us. A bonus-- Wednesday is half-priced wine, and you don't want to miss that deal! read more

My friends took me and my friend here when we were visiting them, and it was delicious! I have craved the Ropa Vieja ever since! It was tender and juicy. It was perfectly portioned, with great-tasting rice and beans and perfectly cooked plantains. I got one of the drinks too, and it was great. The servers were very nice, and the food came out quickly. We didn't have to wait long to get in either. It's kind of a bar atmosphere. It was a little bit noisy, but the food was amazing. And it outweighs the noise. Fortunately, they do have to recipe for the Ropa Vieja online thanks to Guy Fieri. So, I can make it since Ceviche's isn't very close. Highly, highly recommend! Thanks to Meghan read more

We were visiting the area and read great reviews of this place. Went for the ceviche. It was great but... size is very small for price. The ambiance of place is not great..and the waiter was not good at all. I also got a taco w a fancy small size of rice. Overall I won't go back again and won't recommend it. Pricey for less than appetizers size meals. Sorry. I am being honest. read more

I've been wanting to try this place and was not disappointed. We had several appetizers for our dinner. I had the four types of ceviche. All had a little kick to them so I got to eat the whole thing since my wife is not a fan of spice. read more

We had lunch and we chose the spot based on rating. Very small portions in the extent that we needed to order 2 portions each. Normally and at absolute majority of places we always need a box as we can't finish our food. read more

Overall experience was okay. Parking was not great. I have a big truck and there is little parking and small spaces. It was also not clear where to park if you're not familiar with the area. Staff was friendly enough, but seemed bothered by serving us. The ambiance was cute. I loved the homey-ness of the place. We sat inside, but in the garden area. They could use more fans because it was very hot. The food was good, but not as spectacular as I had hoped it would be. The chips were decent, I could tell handmade, but I just didn't like them. The Ceviche was good. I really enjoyed Langoustina de coco was AMAZING, best thing I ate. I would recommend trying it at least once, I'm sure that it is a good fit for others, just not somewhere I will be going again. read more

Oh, I just love this restaurant. Wanted a great margarita so we came here for Cinco de mayo. I ordered the pollo empanadas again and they were delicious per usual. However, I ordered the poke bowl for the first time and I think I died and went to heaven. I am now obsessed with poke. For entree I tried something new and got the arroz con pollo. It was ok but I definitely prefer the roja Viejo. read more

This place was sooooooo freaking good! Another Wilmington gem!! I got a tuna and it was soooo tender and juicy but the sauce that they put on it and the rice with the pickled onions was just the most perfectly balanced bite EVER!!! We went right when they opened because they were fully booked up but we're able to get seated for a party of four. The staff was so great! Very friendly and informative. I cannot wait to go back!! read more

If you are Hispanic and/or if you do not support racism, DO NOT GO HERE. I brought my family out for dinner here on 6/1. They were visiting from out of town. I had been wanting to try this place since I moved here to Wilmington a little over a year ago, but never got around to it. Well, this past weekend we walked in and we were so excited to try the food since we are Dominican and some of the menu items are our cuisine (for example, sancocho is ours, but this location puts a Panamanian twist to it). We got our appetizers with the "salsa"which was actually pico de gallo, and the elote dip which was quite literally just cold corn that tasted like it was straight from the can. Even though the appetizers were awful, we were still looking forward to the food. Our waiter looked at us with such disgust every time we asked for something. He wouldn't even respond to us when we'd ask for things. He'd go grab things and put them on our table and not say a word. He also rushed us to put our order in. Seems like he just did not want to deal with us. We decided to ask for our bill for our drinks and appetizers so that we could get dinner elsewhere. The only decent part of this experience was the manager who came over to apologize to us. She did not make us pay for the appetizers and drinks, which was nice. She tried to get us to stay, but we were far too uncomfortable. Our server was being kind to everyone else except for us. We were the only Hispanics there. I did not expect such an experience from a place that is Hispanic inspired. Take your business elsewhere. read more

Ceviche's came highly recommended from several friends. It was even better than they described. Be sure to request to sit "outside" when you book your reservation on Open Table. They have an awesome outdoor space in the back of the restaurant with a roof and cool air blown in. We weren't able to sit there tonight but will be sure to do that next time. We split the poke bowl and loved it. It was a great way to sample the guacamole and shares well. We also shared the blackened tuna plate which came with incredible brussel sprouts with bacon. I also really enjoyed a side of maduros. We were stuffed and not able to try anything else but already considering how we might be able to squeeze in another spot there for lunch on our way out of town. This place is a gem! read more

Fresh and delicious food. My daughter loved the empanadas. I tried the monkfish ceviche and it was perfect. We also got the tuna poke- the tuna was by far the best we had in NC. Service was pleasant and professional. We sat outside on one of the small tables by the door and they had a shade it was very pleasant. The deck and dining room both look cozy and relaxing . Will be back! read more

Best lunch I have had in a long time. Time to update another review to 5 stars. Stoped in today for a quick lunch on a cold and rainy afternoon and I definitely made the right choice! Being taco Tuesday I had no choice but to go with the two steak tacos and a side of coconut rice! Absolutely amazing. Don't know what kind of magic they preform to create that rice but holy cow it's addicting. Ordered a large order of the langostino ceviche and a side of yucca fries to go along with my tacos. The ceviches is super fresh and packed full of flavor. Definitely can't wait to come back might not wait a year this time. read more
