I had read reviews and was nervous because we got the romantic package with the hotel and it included dinner on Sat. We actually decided to eat the Lobster dinner on Fri when we stayed at the hotel for our anniversary (5/4). It was amazing! The service was 5 star! Both servers Fri and Sat were fantastic. The food Sat... More

Like the previous reviewer, I had an excellent meal at East two summers ago that has stuck in my mind since as the best flounder I have ever eaten. I'm not normally a flounder fan. Red snapper, grouper, rare tuna or mountain trout is what I usually order, but that night I ordered sauteed flounder with a crab relish on... More

Several years ago I had one of those meals at East that was so delicious, the memory of every morsel seared itself into my brain cells . It was a Maryland crabcake, roasted asparagus in a beurre blanc sauce. I nearly licked the plate and then dreamed about it for months. Having the chance to swing through Wilmington again, we... More

We gorged ourselves on the complimentary breakfast every morning. Grits, eggs, sausage, bacon, fruit, yogurt, bread, oatmeal, biscuits and gravy, and non-stop hot, fresh coffee and juice!

My husband and I were staying at nearby Carolina Beach and asked a local for restaurant recommendations. She told us we HAD to go to the Blockade. It's a little more upscale than a lot of the joints in that area and were eager to give it a try. We went on a thursday evening, which just happened to be... More

It is fine for families at breakfast and lunch, but not really suited for children in the evening. It is a little pricey as expected in a resort.
