Great ambiance, great service, even better food! Great location, definitely added to our Wilmington top spots!

Our dinner was unbelievable, and the service was amazing. Chef Em prepared incredible dishes that you cannot find anywhere else. My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary at King Neptunes and the food and atmosphere were perfect. We started out with the Brussel sprouts with goat cheese and then had prime rib and blackened salmon for our entrees. A five-star dinner. Tori Royal

The King Neptune has been around a long time. We hadn't been since the restaurant was updated and remodeled. We had heard good things and decided to go for dinner. The restaurant has two sections each with a bar. The food menu is the same. One side is more sleek and modern. The other is a little darker wood decor with more of a bar feel to it. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and helped us decide on cocktails which were amazing. I ordered an old fashioned and my husband had an espresso martini. My old fashioned was excellent with the perfect twist of orange peel and a Luxardo cherry (no maraschino cherries here, thankfully!).The espresso martini had a pumpkin liqueur and was fall like and delicious. Perfect for the rainy evening we visited. King Neptune rotates their menu of dinner specials in addition to having a menu of regular dishes. Everything we tried was wonderful. Our appetizer of deviled eggs with fried oysters and caviar was as delicious as it was beautiful. It was a special and unfortunately not available regularly. My grouper with mango salsa, steamed rice, fried plantains and broccolini was also a special menu item. My husband chose from the regular menu and ordered flounder piccata. Both dishes were perfectly cooked and so flavorful. King Neptune locally sources fish from nearby Motts Channel Seafood and the quality is top notch. Last but not least, the restrooms (my husband vouched for the men's room) were spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. Fresh flowers and a wonderful scented candle were present in the ladies room. I usually don't mention restrooms, but I was so impressed that I even mentioned to the waitress how wonderful I found the attention to detail in the ladies room.. She said that they get routine compliments on the restrooms. Our entire experience from start to finish was outstanding at King Neptune. Highly recommend!!

Went on a Saturday night without a reservation so we sat at a high top table in the bar area and were impressed with the service and promptness of food. Fun and lively atmosphere but it is very loud inside so if you're looking for a cozy, quiet meal, this is not it. The food was very good and I appreciated the attempt to jazz up the norm but I thought some of the elements just didn't fit. Loved the red pepper vinaigrette with the scallops but felt the pesto was competitive instead of complementary. Brussels were really good but needed a hit of salt to offset their bitterness especially paired with the balsamic glaze. The pickled onions were a nice compliment though. The wedge was supposed to be the fresh, crunchy element to my meal but it was so drenched in dressing that it was too heavy. I loved the combo of tomato, bacon and sunflower seeds but they were drowned out by dressing. All in all, good food, fun atmosphere and a place I'll recommend.

This place has fantastic service, atmosphere, drinks and food. We sat at the bar for brunch. Surprisingly wasn't too busy, but had a delicious Bloody Mary, breakfast sandwich and biscuits and gravy. The Bloody Mary was flavorful. The breakfast sandwich was basic but on point. The biscuits and gravy were topped with fried oysters and the suggestion of the bar tender. Check it out! Super cute inside too!

Delicious. We've been in WB for over 13 years and have never ventured in. We heard they had recently renovated and that the food was good so while taking our walk, we decided to stop in for lunch and it did not disappoint. The inside is very refreshing and reflects the beach. The glass stingrays are really beautiful. Service was terrific from the moment we walked in. Our drinks were refilled right on time and she knew exactly when to come to the table. The food was so good that we ate every bite and even went for dessert at lunch. The tuna poke tacos have an ample amount of tuna and are well flavored. You get four so they are perfect for sharing. The French dip was well flavored. The steak was super moist, cooked just right, and the flavor was delicious. The dip sauce was nice as well. Desserts are made in house. We had the key lime pie and the banana pudding cheesecake. Brilliant to combine two classics into one! We will definitely return.

Great beach spot if you're looking for something that is not a sports bar. Great menu with awesome specials that change. Ive had the scallops and french dip here. Both awesome! Friendly service too, parking can be tough, but in the offseason it's free!

I was very impressed by the newly updated King Neptune. It looks so different than what I remember. This was a great spot tonight for a party of 9. The acoustics were good and the service was, too. I ordered the ahi tuna tacos and mussels. Both were very good and both were spicier than I thought they would be. Several people at the table had the shrimp and grits and they loved them. It was presented beautifully. My son had the swordfish and the rest of the table had the hibachi Tuesday night special. The shrimp was so delicious. Everything tasted extremely fresh. I definitely enjoyed it here and would recommend it to people looking for good seafood on WB. It definitely beats the more touristy places buy without the view. Bathrooms were very clean and smelled great.

Absolutely fantastic food and atmosphere. Staff was super friendly and answered our questions. I would easily drive the distance to come back to this place specifically again.

The best experience we had in Wilmington! The resturaunt may not look like it's anything special from the outside, but once you step inside you get an atmosphere of fine dining! We were seated immediately and waited upon quickly. They even offered to split the bill which was a big plus for us. Every dish we tested was immensely enjoyed. I had the Brussels sprouts appetizer and mussels dish. Both were excellent. Definitely a place to go eat when in Wilmington!
