    Inside vibes
    Heather V.

    This is based on takeout*** Great vibe inside. Love the decor. Lobster ceviche is really good. Huge chunks in there and the flavor is great. The tortillas are really hard, difficult to eat and not very good though :( Ahi tuna was seared (not raw like I asked for) and the tortilla was burnt. Half wasn't edible... Coconut rice is sublime. Id go again but make different choices.

    Ceviche's is every bit as charming and the food equally as delicious as when we first visited five years ago. Tonight we had the yucca frites and coconut shrimp tapas. My husband ordered arroz con pollo, and I had the frijoles y arroz. The portion was very generous - I have rice and beans for lunch tomorrow. We ordered the Spanish beignets to go, and they were fantastic. They come with berry compote. The service was wonderful, but it was very busy on a Thursday night! The bar stayed busy throughout our entire dinner.

    Blackened scallops and pork belly with asparagus and cilantro mashed potatoes. Side of curry aioli.

    Amazing spot! Would 100% add to the list of "must visit" places near Wilmington. Small place with a great ambience and very friendly service. HUGE shout out to the bartender Natalie who is so friendly and pleasant to talk to. She was amazing! We ordered the sangria and watermelon mojito to start- both fantastic and the mojito wasn't too sweet. We then ordered the niña ceviche and blackened scallops with pork belly dish. The real star was the scallops and pork belly dish. Amazing combination of flavors and each part of the dish was cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back and recommend to everyone coming to the area.

    Wow! What a great experience. I recommend getting reservations for dinner. I also recommend going with friends who like to share so that you can try EVERYTHING! Our table of four got apps and meals and shared it all. I'm not even a huge seafood lover and it was all so delicious.

    This was our first time at Ceviche's. We joined some friends who have been here before. We started with drinks and the ceviche sampler - SO GOOD! I've never had ceviche before and was slightly hesitant (not a fan of fishy tasting things) and this was DELISH! I loved every bite including the scallops - which I don't normally like. I then had the coconut shrimp and beef empanadas. Both were excellent! Hubs had the special (pork belly & scallops) which was also just perfect! Service was prompt and allowed us time to chat with friends, and yet continued to check back in along the way. We will be back for sure! Also - the parking lot is small, so carpool when you can. They have great seating inside and out but reservations are suggested. The restaurant is just beautiful inside and out and everyone was so kind.

    Jerk Shrimp Skewers  sooo good!

    This is a family favorite for us. We came here all of the time before having our daughter, and we still love coming and bringing her. The food is so fresh and the flavors are incredible. The service team is knowledgeable and friendly. Whether you are snuggled up at the fun bar or seated out in the gorgeous dining room, it's a fun place to eat and hang out. Favorite drink: the pain killer Our Go-to food order: the jerk shrimp skewers and whatever the fish special is for the day and share!

    Really beautiful restaurant that's close to Wrightsville Beach. They have a bar section and a dining section. We ate in the dining section. We got the guacamole trio. I thoroughly loved the butternut squash version. The others were good as well but lacked a little seasoning. I ordered the salsa as well and that added the extra seasoning I was looking for when I combined them. I ordered the Arroz con Pollo. The chicken and rice was very well seasoned but the slaw just tasted like raw cabbage. I mixed it with the guacamole and salsa which made for a great dressing. My husband ordered a chicken empanada and brussel sprouts. He said both were really good. The staff were nice and the courses were spaced out well. We would highly recommend

    Ropa Vieja
    Alexandra H.

    Came here for the first time and had such a lovely experience. The restaurant is so unique and nice! The outdoor and indoor design is great, the service is amazing and so kind, and the food is even better! Started off with the Salsa Fresca and chips, which was SO good! Then for my entree, I got the Ropa Vieja, which was 10/10! The portion sizes were great and I even had some leftovers for later. Highly recommend this spot and will absolutely return back soon!

    Excellent Panamanian menu. All four of us enjoyed our meals. Great staff provided Excellent personal service. Great ambiance .

    Reservations recommended this place gets packed, but definitely still has wait to be seating by the bar or at the bar and outside. The place is a small house with lots of hidden table areas to seat. We tried the ceviche sampler, empanadas with goat cheese, coconut shrimp, sancocho and all the desserts. I recommend sticking the original ceviche the others just not my pállate since I don't enjoy sweet with my citrus. The empanadas were good and the sancocho soup was good.

    Scotch Bonnet - Jerk Chicken Meal

    For a change if pace, I craved some Jamaican food. I heard good things from neighbors about this…read morerestaurant. It is a small corner storefront in a strip mall. Parking can get tight there but there is some extra parking off property. There is table seating for about 16 and counter seating for 8 more. It was around 2:30 so we were plenty of seats. I wanted to try the jerk pork but that is only available on the weekend. So I tried their perk chicken and curry goat with the rice and beans and macaroni & cheese. That way I could sample a few different things. Everything was very good. Chicken and goat was tender and nicely spiced. Not too much, not too little. The rice/beans and Mac sides were a nice compliment. They also loaded up the food and took enough home for a nice snack tonight. Will go back again on a weekend to sample the pork. If you are into Jamaican, try out this restaurant.

    We stumbled on the gem via Yelp and it did not disappoint. You really have to know the area or you…read morewill miss it. When went on a Friday night and it wasn't packed, however, tables were full and only a few seats at the bar. We opted to order carry out. Please be warned, it's very loud! lol on Fridays, they play spades and the music is thumping. We decided to get jerk chicken, rice and peas with cabbage. We weren't starving so we ordered one meal to share. They also have specials but I think they were out of some food items. Food arrived in a decent amount of time. Plenty of food but it was not spicy enough for me. We will return if ever in the area.
