My family held a surprise party here for some of our birthday ladies and gents one night. The staff…read morewas so nice and friendly and helpful! We were able to completely surprise the birthday guests which was so fun! We were able to bring in food, desserts, and decorations. The entire venue is very fun- good lighting, great views, and a lovely bar with yummy drinks. Definitely want to return here again for other events.

I never knew this place existed until a couple of friends took me. This is a private club and I…read morecame as a guest. It is on the top floor (9th) of the building. I don't know what the building is called but it is on the corner of Market and Front streets. The views are fantastic. You get great views of the river, south side of the city and east side. The views are the selling point in my opinion. The place is small. There is a small bar area along with chairs and sofas to sit on elsewhere. Live music when I was there. I didn't see any beer on tap but they do have beer. Wine and mixed drinks available, obviously. The glass of wine I got was $12. Ehh, a little steep. The elevator to the 9th floor is tiny. Four normal size people or two bigguns. You can take the stairs, and I did going up, but you better be in shape. Not sure that I would ever buy a membership here but it was fun to go once.

My friend and I stopped by for lunch today. The food was amazing as always! Our server was Kendall…read more She was absolutely fantastic!

Our hotel staff recommended this restaurant. I really wanted a nice and fresh fish sandwich. It…read morewas just a short walk down the Riverwalk. We went during lunchtime. The restaurant was nice and quiet.. the waiter was really friendly and gave great suggestions. The views from the restaurant was amazing since the restaurant is right on the Riverwalk, you have a nice view of the Cape Fear River. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was so good! It was nice and crispy on the outside and really flaky on the inside. My husband got the calamari. He said that it was really good. I will definitely go back to Elijah's the next time that I am in Wilmington. It was a great dining experience.

Beautiful venue! We had our wedding ceremony at The Atrium. The staff went above and beyond for us…read more It poured on our wedding day. Poured. Hours before the ceremony I received a call from the staff offering to set up chairs under the covered section of the venue in case the rain didn't let up. Not only did they set up the chairs for us, in the hours leading up to the guests arriving they were sweeping, squeegeeing, and air blowing rain water into the drains to keep the area dry for guests. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We didn't get to use the traditional aisle and benches but it was still just as beautiful and perfect as I imagined. I could not be happier and guests have continually been commenting on how beautiful and unique the space was.

Great venue that becomes what you want of it…read more I went here for a wedding. It's a big L shape with a large hall leading to a central courtyard. The courtyard attaches to some interior space. The space has lots of trees and landscaping inside to bring nature into the space. The attached interior space has some bathrooms that were clean and worked well. It's got an urban rustic feel. Lots of exposed brick with greenery growing up into it. It kind of reminded me of where Ross and Emily got married in Friends with the open ceiling space. Fortunately the weather cooperated and there wasn't sun beating down on the guests. The long hall and open ceiling made for some nice breezes. We ended up eating along long tables in the large hall which made use of the long dimensions. We didn't need a separate dance floor as the courtyard served as that. The staff was very nice and attentive. Not sure if they were from the venue or caterer, but they did a great job. We lucked out and the weather was beautiful. There was only one airplane that flew overhead and not during the ceremony. It was pretty loud when it flew over during the rehearsal, but the ceremony went great. It's very centrally located to downtown, right off Market and 2nd. Parking is available across the street.

I am on the opposite end of the spectrum here with the reviews, I attended a wedding at The River…read moreRoom. The space can get cramped with a larger party but is beautiful. You can't beat a wedding venue with a river view in a great location. My only complaint is that it only had two bathrooms (one for each sex).

They were looking at every possible angle to make sure the wedding went off without a hitch. At one point, I saw the wedding coordinator walk out to the street to motion a traveling bar cart to lower their singing as the wedding was going on. An Indian man, I didn't catch his name, was routinely walking around and asking everyone if there was anything they needed and insuring everyone was having a great time. He was super personable. The bartenders made excellent drinks and smiled the whole time. Good for them because my face would hurt from smiling that much. The event space itself, perfect for a small wedding, was beautiful and cozy and clean. I would definitely recommend hosting any event here!

2019 WILMINGTON, NC…read more I don't know if we missed something, but if you compare this riverwalk to the ones in Savannah, San Antonio and even Oklahoma City, this one is not anywhere close. They have made a good start, but need many more restaurants. We saw the backs of restaurants with the entrances on Front Street. The sights were too industrialized for me. The actual boardwalk itself needed repair in places. There were a lot of cranes and building going on. I hope that this is the start of new improvements so that next time I won't be disappointed. We walked about a mile of the two miles. Sights included the battleship, the bridge, hotels and some boats going by. There weren't very many people. I think we only passed two others during our whole walk. One we left the riverfront area and went on to Front Street we saw more action, restaurants and shops. I have included some pictures for your enjoyment.

There was a nice amount of menu options and drinks . There was plenty of dining room seating with a large bar area as well. The restaurant gives off very much coastal vibes! Lol, I ordered a crab cake and my son ordered the Wellington sub (I probaly got the name wrong). My crab cake sandwich was okay, but I must mention that it was big in size. My son loved the Wellington sub , the fries with the gravy sauce was amazing. Our server was amazing , service was awesome. The Restaurant itself was tidy and well kept and good times were awesome. The restaurant cuts right on the Wilmington Riverwalk and outside seating is available.

The second star is because one of my buddies did a great show here once, the reason I would've…read moregiven it 1 star otherwise is because whoever thought it'd be a great idea to do regular biker shows at this place can stick it where the sun don't shine. There is a massive apartment complex I happen to live in literally right next to this place, so obviously they figured exactly what we'd all want to hear right after the construction finally stops at the end of the day is a motorcade full of hundreds of obnoxious bikers doing donuts outside our bedroom and office windows accompanied by the raspy moaning of some D-grade cover band. I don't know whose initiative it is to turn Wilmington into some sorta Pender county biker destination, but it's about time to stop. Everyone who actually lives here hates it. I thought the whole romanticized biker lifestyle was freedom on the long open roads of the HIGHWAYS. Ya know, because nobody wants to listen to that garbage for very long. So why is it that they're constantly rumbling around every corner of downtown these days? Maybe try an electric car concert next time, huh?

Well, it seems that my PhD in procrastination has borne further fruit (or more likely, some fruit…read moredied on the vine!). Went to The Shell for the Beer, Bourbon and BBQ event some time ago (not quite in a galaxy long, long ago) and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The staff there were gregarious and very helpful steering me to the various venues inside (getting the VIP ticket was well worth the extra as by the time the gates opened to everyone, it seemed what was already a good sized crowd became reminiscent of army ants on the march... Still, a great venue with fantastic views and one that I will be looking for future events.
