The location is lovely, and the staff is very friendly, but the food was only mediocre and very expensive.

My wife and I came here for our anniversary dinner and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing! I had the duck breast which was perfectly cooked and accompanied by an amazing duck confit and foi stuffed cabbage. My wife ordered the yellowfin tuna which was seared and encrusted with pepper and sesame seeds, which was tasty and perfectly seasoned. The cocktails were unique and well thought out. The Sophia Lauren was a delicious cocktail, and used cilantro oil as a component, which was unique and tasty! As wonderful as the food was, the service was the high point of the visit. Attentive and friendly, but never overbearing - we server team was always there when needed and never overbearing. I highly recommend this restaurant, and we will definitely be back. read more

Started with the broiled oysters which were really flavorful, well-seasoned, and meaty. The tuna tartar was a bit too simple for us. It was very fresh, but the apples seemed out of place and the dish was just nothing to write home about. The hush puppies were excellent. The nice, crispy, and flavorful corn meal paired so well with the acidic jam below it. For my main, I got the pork belly and loin. The pork belly was absolutely insane. It was crispy, fatty, so flavorful, and extremely flakey. The loin was so tender and well seasoned. The mashed potatoes and the sauce below it added a nice side element as well but were a tad bit watery. Overall, a great restaurant exemplifying Wilmington. The service was friendly, the ambiance was simple, but elegant, and I would definitely come back. Overall 4.8/5 read more

We came here for a work Christmas dinner. Everything was delicious! We got the hush puppies, tuna tartar, and biscuits for an appetizer. The biscuits are something to tell your friends about. Our dinners and drinks were tasty too! Our server was so nice and even took pictures for us at the end of the night. This place is small for sure. But gives a homey feel. It does get a little warm in there since the kitchen is fairly open. Can't wait to come back again! read more

We had an amazing dinner tonight. Starting with the hush puppy appetizer with jelly. Very tasty. I had the tuna with asian confit. I highly recommend this dish. My partner this evening had the scallops and shrimp ala vodka sauce. Not as fantastic, but excellent nevertheless. This restaurant has always been a favorite when I come into town. read more

Three10 - Tuna. Outstanding dish! - Seafood Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Three10 was the perfect choice for a celebration dinner with my group of friends. The location and interior are even cuter in person than in photos. The food and service were outstanding! The menu is beautiful and complete with food and drink pairing suggestions. Their range of dishes made this a great fit for our group of 6. I will be dreaming of the Sesame Crusted Seared Yellowfin Tuna - this was the perfect dish for a weekend trip to the beach. I love that the dish was spicy but balanced, and flavorful. I will come back to this restaurant time and time again! read more

Great place! Went on a date with my wife. We had a couple oysters, the happy appetizer and the red drum entree. All were very good but the oyster was fantastic....... Service was a bit slow (took awhile for the entree) but ok. Not enough to dock any rating... Highly recommend but I don't know if young kids would be easy while here. Great date place or just with friends. Business meal would be fine as well. Make sure you make a reservation. We saw several people walk up and get turned away. read more

Absolute perfection. Honestly, my husband initially thought about walking out bc the clientele all looked about 2 decades older than us (and we aren't young!!!!) BUT BOY ARE WE GLAD WE STAYED!! From the grilled peach salad and Black Bass Crudo to the Grouper and the Duck Confit - every morsel was PHENOMENAL. Every dish was so well thought out. The flavor profiles were perfect. And for dessert? The cheesecake was to die for. It honestly well exceeded our expectations. We WILL be back (maybe as soon as next week!!). read more

Food was wonderful! I had the snapper that was perfectly cooked and loved what it was served with. Others had the scallops and Brussel sprout side which were also great. Service was professional and friendly. So easy to park there, and dining room wasn't too noisy. Just a nice evening with great food! read more

A favorite. We always take visiting company here. The food & service are perfect. The choices of seating, that is outside, weather permitting, dining room & at the kitchen offer variety as to seating. read more

Absolutely loved my meal here. The flavor and presentation was exquisite! You can tell the chefs clearly love their food and put so much thought and effort into it. I personally had the scallop shrimp grits dish (and I never enjoyed shrimp and grits before this). This was different. The tomatos and the green sauce on the perimeter added some nice herby acidic freshness. Waitress was kind, fun to talk to and you and tell people just enjoyed being there. It was more like an upscale casual dining experience. I also love their bathroom interior design. I had this a few days ago and already want to come back to be honest. Thank you Wilmington for this treat!! This is part of my top 2 restaurants in NC so far. read more

Just an amazing food experience. Service is professional but friendly, and it's a relaxed environment. Not too noisy. We have eaten here a few times, and the menu is always creative, seafood forward and the cocktails are delicious. Wish this gem was closer to our home- we would be regulars. Parking available on site. And it's walking distance to the music venue and Wilson Center. Highly recommend. read more

canceled our reservation less than five minutes before it was supposed to happen for no reason and wouldn't receive us or allow us to take our food to go on a busy Saturday night in downtown Wilmington where there's really no other place to get a reservation tonight. We are also sitting in the parking lot with no one else at the restaurant... read more

A charming modern Southern seafood restaurant with welcoming atmosphere. We were seated inside dining room but I love the outdoor porch seatings. Both service and food were great. My friend and I start off with Half dozen Oysters, and Carolina Gold Hushpuppies. The Pepper Jelly for the hushpuppies was amazingly good. For entrees, I ordered the Duck Confit Pasta which was pretty tasty and my friend opted for the Grouper with Grilled Stuffed Zucchini. read more

I can't hype this place enough. The food was out of this world, cocktails also. One of the best meals I've ever had - you can't forgo the crab cakes or peach cheesecake. We got hushpuppies, Caesar salad and Shrimp & scallops risotto - all 10/10. Incredible service - they were so attentive and you can tell they care about their patrons. If you don't go here you're wrong. Special shout out to Matt. read more

It was the best dining experience we've had in Wilmington a long time. The menu was creative and well-balanced offering unique flavor combinations and using some ingredients in new ways. The beverage and wine list was robust and nicely complimented the food selections. And the food ... it was delicious, flavorful, and portioned well. The service was timely, friendly and so familiar with the menu that suggestions were meaningful. The ambiance was delightful with a lovely color palate, and relaxing vibe that felt like you were at home. We will definitely return, as will all the members of our large party. We were surprised and ultimately pleased with selecting Three10 for our celebration! read more

Food was excellent, we had the duck which was moist and flavorful. Service was excellent.

Three10 is in a good spot right now. Husband and wife team and working really hard and constantly delivering a great menu. I had their mushroom grits with shrimp and it was a 10 out or 10. The appetizers have become classics -- particulalry the hush puppies with spicy jelly and the biscuits with pimento cheese and ham. Also the boiled oysters and out of sight. Pork loin/pork belly dish could use a bit of work -- maybe a simpler plate with a simpler sauce. The tuna tartare was outstanding. All other dishes and consistently great. Seemed like the bar was short staffed last night but the waiters were doing a great job making drinks. Nice atmosphere both inside and out -- the neighborhood has a nice bohemian feel and the ice cream shop acorss the street -- Boombalatti's -- is great. All in all this is a very special place and a high recommend for special occasions, weekend nights and date night. It's also great for families but a big check so if that kids are not foodies you might want to think twice. We got out of there last night for 8 people for $550 -- not bad for a gourmet meal! read more

We had an excellent meal and service. Beautiful renovated house with a warm ambiance. I'm looking forward to going back ! read more

It really is cool venue with a cool history. The interior to me was over refinished, removing the details of the historic feel, it may have been unavoidable. With that being said, it really is a great place to have a special dinner (Romantic, Friends, Family, quiet birthdays etc.) We were sat at a table and served by Caroline and she was pretty amazing, informative, and just plain happy. This really set the tone and even though my Marg was watery and not so bueno, it did nothing to dampen the evening. Our dinner started out with Carolina Gold Hush puppies and the pepper jelly just added the best flavor to them, they were hot and flavorful. I then had the Smoked Mushroom gumbo with the flounder and it was just so good ( The gumbo itself and all of the other dishes are lacking in the slightest bit of salt, so ask in advance). The wife had the Scallops, so beautifully prepared and plated, it literally could have been a work of art. We finished of with the strawberry key lime pie, just so good. All in all it was an amazing visit and we will return. (Since have this last weekend and just as good, with family) Have a Date night and splurge a little, you won't be sorry if you choose "Three 10" read more

We always enjoy dining here. Great food and cocktails. Attentive and pleasant service.

This spot is stunning! Service with Cole was impeccable and I loved having so many GF options! This was my first time in Wilmington. The restaurant is in a historic neighborhood in a reimagined home. I ordered the hush puppies with pepper jelly (*chef's kiss*) and the crab gazpacho. All very good for a hit and sticky summer night! Highly recommend checking out their comprehensive list of cocktails. So many yummy options there too! read more

I made a reservation through leaving a voicemail message. It didn't take too long for someone to call back to confirm. Three10 is essentially a house that's repurposed into a restaurant. It's located right across Throwback Bakery and is walking distance to Boombalatti's and Palate. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The dine-in menu was missing the Caesar salad and apple dessert from their menu posted on online, both items which I wanted to try. Hopefully that was just temporary. I got the seared diver scallops entree and the raspberry ricotta pound cake dessert. They were both good, but the scallop dish could be improved. The scallops were a bit heavy on the salt than I preferred, otherwise, it had a nice fresh black peppercorn seasoning on top. The scallops were served with Sea Island red peas and a baby portion of mustard greens with a touch of green bell pepper and a root vegetable on a green sauce. The entire dish itself wasn't that big and I was still a little bit hungry afterwards. So if you get this dish, I would suggest getting an appetizer to make it more filling. I enjoyed the raspberry ricotta pound cake. It was topped with fresh raspberries, lime zest whipped cream, and a tart berry sauce. read more

Went here for the first time on Wednesday night! Ordered the fish dip as an appetizer, shrimp and scallops entree, a porch sipper moonshine cocktail, and the cheesecake. My date and I weren't a huge fan of the chips that came with the fish dip, but the dip itself was great. LOVED my entree, drink, and the cheesecake was to die for. My date ordered the gnocchi and a Tom Collins cocktail and he said they were phenomenal as well. I'd order an entire box of that cheesecake. The waitress and service was also top notch - we didn't wait long for food, and everyone was so nice and welcoming. It was also a plus that my date and I got to sit in a cozy booth, which was comfortable and private. SUCH a cute spot, and we'd definitely eat there again. Highly recommend for a date night! read more

Three10 - Shrimp and Scallops and a Porch Sipper cocktail - Seafood Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Amazing food, great front porch. Sit outside if the weather allows, service is super friendly and informative

This place is excellent and a hidden gem in Wilmington. It is in a home which gives it a relaxed vibe. The service was top notch, wait staff were attentive without being overbearing. Food was brought out promptly. And everything we ordered was excellent. We will be back again and again. We had the duck entree and the biscuit appetizer which were both incredible. Don't skip out on the biscuit appetizer!. read more

DH and I had dinner with friends. We made reservations that afternoon but were able to get seats at the bar. The place filled up quickly! Set in a renovated home, we found the it to be very noisy inside. It's located in the Brooklyn Arts District in Wilmington. They have a lovely wrap-around porch for outside dining. The menu is limited to a raw bar, small plates, and large plates; and they have a brunch menu. What a wonderful place to have dinner. We started with cocktails. I had a tasty Palmona, which included tequila, elderflower liqueur, grapefruit, fresh lime and orange juice, and agave. For my entrée, I ordered the crispy skin red snapper. I've never had red snapper before and I was very pleased with the entrée. It included cornbread gnocchi (oh so tender), marinated tomatoes, shishito peppers, in a country ham glaze. $28 and worth every penny. DH had the grilled yellowfin tuna, $30, also excellent. We all shared the Carolina gold huspuppies (made with cornbread) $8. The were so light and fluffy on the inside. They were served with a pepper jelly. My friends loved their entrees. Their menu changes based on what's in season. Excellent food, excellent service, pricey menu but worth every penny. Great cocktails and wine too. It's a favorite. read more

Had a wonderful anniversary dinner with my husband tonight at Three10. Our server, Caroline, was fabulous, very knowledgeable of the menu, and her recommendations were spot on. The ambiance was peaceful and timeless, we sat on the patio and with the weather and the perfect playlist we knew we were in for a treat. The food blew us away. For starters we got the tuna tartare, which had a very healthy and delicious amount of tuna, and the mushroom gumbo which was so good my husband immediately started googling how he could remake it at home. Entrees we decided on the yellowfin tuna, which again the amount of tuna was more than we expected in the best way not to mention seared and flavored to perfection, and we also got the Duck Pasta which I could've eaten all night long. 10/10 all around. I'm very happy this is where we ended up. Thanks Caroline! read more

Excellent food, great service and a lovely little house with great dining porch, never been disappointed

I came by for brunch with my best friend while she was in town. We started with the mimosa flight - both of our faves were the strawberry basil and peach pecan. For entrees we each got the soft shell crab sandwich, and we split a piece of pie to finish off. All flavors were excellent as was the service. The only bummer was that after we finished our mimosa flight we each wanted a full glass of our favorite flavor, but the individual mimosa was the same size as the glass in the flight, so it didn't feel worth it. Definitely worth checking out; I'll be back! read more

My wife and I eat at 3ten restaurant for the first time Nov. 8th. The ambiance of the restaurant building and the seasonal menu were absolutely spot on. We greeted by a very professional wait staff. We started with a dinner cocktail and shared one dozen NC oyster's which were fantastic. Very buttery to the taste with cocktail and mignonette sauces were superb. For dinner my wife had the Blacken Grouper and I had the Halibut Special, both were very tasty and cooked to perfection. We finished the meal with homemade vanilla ice cream with puff pastry filled with apple and berry, covered in Salted Carmel sauce. This was the perfect meal cooked and served by true professional's. For all you foodie's out there this is a must stop. We dined inside, but the outdoor wrap around porch will be our next spot to dine. Awesome dinning restaurant. read more

I think the Three 10 restaurant opened in October 2021 and is located at 1022 N Fourth St., in the Brooklyn Arts District of Wilmington. It is housed in a historic bungalow that dates back to the 1920's. The dining room and porch renovated, and a new addition was built to hold the kitchen. We ate outside on the porch because it was such a beautiful evening, so I can't comment on the interior dining areas. I started the evening with their Peal & Eat Shrimp (1/2 lb. Old Bay shrimp, house cocktail sauce, brown butter dijonnaise, lemon) which was fantastic. The shrimp by itself was large, tender, and tasty but when you dipped it into the brown butter dijonnaise it became exceptional. I paired it with a Paloma cocktail. This cocktail contained silver tequila, elderflower liqueur, and grapefruit. Next, I had a Butter Lettuces salad which contained radishes, fresh herbs, pickled onion, and bourbon candied pecans in a buttermilk dressing. The salad was delicious by itself but paired with a Silver Gimlet brought the salad to the next level. Oh, the bourbon candied pecans were so good, if they ever opened an on-line store and had these as an item, they would be their number one seller, fantastic. For the main course I had their Grilled Yellow Tuna - Vadouvan spiced, peanut romesco, grilled carrot, slaw, and cilantro. It won't replace a good baked stuffed lobster, but it's a good second place. It was delicious, cooked medium with a good sear. My wife ordered their Carolina Gold Hushpuppies, which she loved. They were covered in a pepper jelly sauce which was delicious. The hushpuppies were crisp on the outside and soft and moist inside, cooked perfectly. read more

Flavor and a wonderful atmosphere on a cool evening at the Three 10 restaurant.  I arrived to a beautiful table set outside on the porch for our dining.   We started off with a taste of the Peel and Eat Shrimp small plate.  The shrimp is flavored with Old Bay and it was delicious on its own.  Now, the interesting part...to dip it in a brown butter dijonnaise sauce.  Wow, who'd a thunk?  It was creamy and the flavor of the dijon was perfect.  Served with this was a Paloma (Silver tequila, elderflower liqueur and grapefruit).  Hit the spot. The second tasting was tuna tartare, which I have never had.  The tuna was good but the snap pea-coconut cream sauce was what I enjoyed.  And served with it was a refreshing crisp pickled rhubarb-ginger along with a Carolina Gold rice chip.  I thought it was similar to a pork rind in texture but the it had a very good flavor.  I could have eaten a bowl full.  With this dish we were given four different Mimosa's. Strawberry basil-not my fav; Peach pecan which tasted like a Werthers original candy esp. with the strong pecan taste; Grapefruit rosemary which I enjoyed; and a Butterfly pea, lavender, ginger, honey mimosa which I really did not like, but only because I do not care for lavender. The third tasting was butter lettuce salad that had radishes, onion and Bourbon candied pecans.  Along with this was a Silver Gimlet (Gin, house shrub, creme de violette, and lime).  OMG- I don't like gin but this drink had me wanting more.   The fourth tasting was Grilled yellow-fin Tuna- again I have never had.  I thought it was okay, but I noticed everyone else really enjoyed it.  I heard several people in our group say it was the best dish of the night. What I thought was good and I ate all of it, was the grilled carrots in a peanut romesco.  This tasting was served with an Old Friend (Rye whiskey, Campari, Grand Marnier).... no thank you, way to strong for me. I ordered the Carolina Gold Hush-puppies with pepper jelly.  I love hush-puppies and these were the best I have ever had.  Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, perfect flavor, and the pepper jelly was out of this world. It is homemade and though not spicy hot, which is how I like it, I asked if I could buy jar. The service was perfect.  Everyone was so eager to make us happy.   I will come back and bring my daughter the next time she is in town specifically for the hush-puppies, butter lettuce salad and the silver gimlet. Thank you for a wonderful evening of fabulous food and friendship. read more

The food is excellent - my friends had the black garlic Cesar and the cauliflower dish with shrimp. I ordered the seared scallops with squash purée. It was excellent but I have to mention that the count of 3 seared scallops in an entree (not a small plate) for over $30 is not great value. The service is very good; knowledgeable and friendly servers. The porch is a wonderful place to sit in good weather - decor is beautiful. read more

What a lovely date night spot! I loved the interior of the restaurant, but the outdoor seating looked beautiful as well. We started our meal with local oysters caught in North Carolina paired with a cider and beer brewed in Durham, NC (sorry, couldn't help it!). I had the tuna steak with quinoa, and my partner got the chef special and added shrimp. I couldn't help myself from eating from his plate the entire time. Yum!!!!! read more
