    Ahi tuba with potatoes and wasabi sauce.
    Kelsey R.

    Don't let the bad reviews scare you away from this gem! This place is amazing! The view is beautiful. Lovey, our waitress was kind and fast! Our food, Atlantic Salmon & Tuna Steak, were delicious! The hush puppies to start were out of this world. Do yourself a favor and visit while you're in topsail!!

    The view from the bar
    Sally F.

    In a nutshell this restaurant left me feeling burned by North Carolina seafood, we decided to go to here because they advertised steam pots and crab on their menu. But more on that later. The restaurant sits in a condo complex called the St. Regis - likely no affiliation to the swanky hotel brand because swanky it was not. The venue was beautiful but underutilized at best. As a former hostess, the host was complaining about her day to me and about how crazy Tuesday was looking (it was Saturday) and we waited 30 minutes for a table when there were multiple open tables and 8 tops sitting around, to which they stuck us on one end. The bar serves as a spillover area for patrons waiting and you couldn't get food, only apps and drinks, and while I was happy with my heavy poor wine, the bar risks over serving and under pricing their drinks while folks wait. We were brought to our table and the view was great but the food did not live up to the venue. The hush puppies did not come with any butter or sauce. First, we were disappointed to see that there was no steamed seafood anywhere on the menu, only to be told my coveted crab legs were only available "sometimes" and it didn't matter it was on the website. Strike two. So to make up for my crab craving, we ordered crab dip. Other reviews on this page say it was a cheesy gelatinous mess with canned crab...has to be canned, if it was fresh, they'd have no issue serving me the crab itself...absolutely shameful of a beach restaurant. I live in Washington DC and get higher quality, fresher crab than I did right on the "Ocean's Edge." Then, I ordered peel and eat shrimp and wasabi tuna. The shrimp had no flavor and I had to ask for cocktail sauce which should be a default accompaniment. The tuna was the only redeeming part of the restaurant. My fellow diners had flounder and tuna steak. The flounder was clearly frozen as it was sopping with moisture and lacked flavor and structure. The baked potato used pre packaged bacon and the tuna steak was "just fine" according to a fellow diner. A fellow diner ordered veggies and was brought out mashed potatoes and the server tried to cover it up by saying that they were out but then later brought us a plate. Lastly, one diner ordered a burger which lacked flavor and utilized a brioche bun - come on, this ain't Sunday brunch! Lastly, we ordered a slice of chocolate cake which was comped due to the prior mess ups or guilt...and it was all right but unfortunately Sally cannot be swayed by a comped slice of cake. LASTLY, on the way out, we had to dodge dead cockroaches - no wonder they weren't seating in the middle of the restaurant. I was really disappointed in the experience given it was our last night at the beach and I was ready to pay hand and foot for a steam pot but that was simply not the case. Probably won't be back, nice try, but needs a bar rescue or Emeril, or even Paul Hollywood at this point!

    Panorama a few of the ocean!

    Unbelievable panoramic view of the ocean from the seventh floor. Serving sizes were plenty full and the food was very tasty. We had one issue with undercooked shrimp and the Customer Service here was beyond compare. They brought us twice as much newly cooked to perfection shrimp.

    Spinach Artichoke Dip

    This place has a beautiful view to the ocean and would be the perfect place to have family dinners or girls night out. The food is absolutely disgusting. We ordered crab dip and they didn't have any. We ordered fried pickles and didn't have any. The waiter recommended the spinach dip (which the crab dip is placed right on top). It came out and there was no sign of flavor or mixing of any sort. It literally tasted like warm cream cheese with broiled cheese and pieces of green leaf in there served with the most oiliest chips (they were supposed to be pita chips) I have ever had. We didn't touch it after the first bite. The drinks were awful too- the sangria tasted like rotten fermented fruit. The waiter told us it was made in house and honestly we were shocked to hear that after we took the first sip. The waiter was very nice and super understanding. Poor guy just wanted to serve good food and good drinks but the kitchen truly failed him. I saw several plates from different tables being sent back during our time there too. It's a shame because the place has potential.

    Ambiance is fantastic. The best ocean view of North Topsail. Binoculars are available to see the marine life & boats floating by. The food was really good especially the calamari appetizer. Service was very good. The bar was a nice place to catch a beverage while you wait for the table. I saw they host Trivia Night at times.

    Food all tasted like it was frozen and reheated. Nothing tasted fresh, nothing! The crab dip, which was recommended was just a cheesy mess with canned crab dumped on top. The corn was so tough it was inedible. Trust the bad reviews, this place is not fit to eat in.

    scallops and potatoes
    Tabitha C.

    Always my favorite restaurant in Topsail with a beautiful view of the ocean on the 7th floor of St.Regis Resort. I had the scallops and potatoes. Seafood is always very fresh here, the atmosphere is very casual and friendly. I come here every time I visit the area!

    Chicken Alfredo

    Everything was delicious!!! I come here just for the chicken Alfredo! Service was okay. We didn't get any refills on our drinks the whole time we were there.

    The food was just okay. We felt rushed by our waitress. Not impressed by anything but the view.

    I really enjoyed the meal and the view. I got the grilled salmon and thought it was delicious. The drinks and service were also great.

    Had some really amazing oysters for Christmas, but didn't feel like driving 45 minutes to…read moreWilmington for them. Who would have guessed an oyster shack would be placed conveniently near my mother's house? ... Okay, anyone would have considering we live right on the coast. I'm slow, okay? Looked up Grant's on Yelp and headed straight there. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a very enthusiastic dog... and then another dog! And then an adorable sleeping cat! Apparently there was another cat lurking about, but I never met them. The gentleman working there welcomed me and invited me inside. I asked how buying oysters goes because I had never purchased them fresh before. He directed me to the gentleman running the place who told me the current price for a bushel was $70, half for $40. I gave the woman at the desk my credit card while I chatted them up. They've been in busy since 1939, selling crabs, oysters, grouper, snapper, you name it. People tend to wipe them out daily, so it's best to show up as early as possible. I thanked everyone (including the animals) and drove home with my half-bushel in hand. Thank goodness I had a random cardboard box in my car or else I would have gotten ocean water all in the trunk. And, of course, the oysters were sublime. Salty with a smooth ocean aftertaste. Great raw and steamed, but even better with cocktail sauce and lemon juice on top. Yes, I ate half a bushel by myself in three days. It took a day to clean them all! Don't judge me. Cheers to a year of more oysters!

    Definitely recommend Grant's. Was greeted by the best receiving staff, Kelly, Little Bit, and Lady…read moreBug (cats). The shrimp I got were fresh and great. While it might look well loved from the outside, the fish is fresh, the walk-in cooler billows frosty air when opened, and the owners are nice. Establish on 1939.
