    The hard-to-pin-down cultural vibe in Wilmington includes a surprising number of vegan restaurants, but this is quite different than the others I've tried, and is more of a high-end farm-to-table place where most people had reservations. The menu was delightful, with creative applications of vegetables that exuded local flare. My grilled radicchio salad was a convincing account of why one might want to grill a radicchio, with an exciting mix of sweet apples and bitter greens in every bite. The grits seemed the best bet of the entrees, and these were served under a gumbo that smelled exactly like you'd expect gumbo to smell, despite the fact that this one is based on mushrooms and sweet potatoes. I was very sad when it was gone. A much as I like eating in New Orleans, I've not been able to find dishes like this there. Although the food was on point, other aspects of my experience weren't. They had a non-alcoholic beverage selection that sounded good, but my cardamom-garnished cocktail looked cool, but didn't hit the flavor contrast nearly as hard as my food did. And service-wise, it seemed like I got passed between different people and never really got a good opportunity to ask nuanced questions about the menu, and I waited a while at several stages. Given that it wasn't the busiest night, they seemed to be struggling a bit to keep up with surrounding tables as well. And when you're paying high-end prices, you can rightfully expect that the full experience will be flawless. If I were local, I have no doubt I'd come back periodically as there were intriguing menu items that I didn't have room for. I'm not in the area regularly, but I'd recommend the beach tourist with special dietary needs to give it a try.

    Outstanding food. Unique and flavorful vegan options with a focus on sustainability and locally sourced produce. The charred kale salad far exceeded my expectations for a kale salad. The arancini was a great appetizer to share and while I typically prefer a crispier fry, it still enjoyed this lighter variation. The smoked sausage was a hearty winter meal, but I found the flavors a little dull. However, the ambiance and wait made the experience far less enjoyable. The room felt a little too tight, but I think dimmer lights would've provided a slightly more private and intimate space. The wait was far beyond reasonable. It took 40 minutes for the appetizer to come out, and at least another 40 more for the entree. We were there for a total of 1 hour and 40 minutes. While we would've liked to try a dessert, we did not want to wait any longer. Our waiter was making drinks behind the bar for substantial portions of the evening so I am hoping it was just a short staffed night. While I would recommend for a rare special occasion, it is not somewhere I would repeatedly eat at.

    Some of the absolute best vegan food I have ever had. Straight out of the classiest joints in California but with a Southern vibe. It's both upscale and relaxed with just incredibly high quality food. We came in 30 minutes before closing and everyone was just incredibly gracious and knowledgeable about the menu. Can't recommend enough

    My husband and I decided to kick off our spring break vacation with a visit to The Green House. We are so glad we did!! We aren't even vegetarians (though I eat vegetarian most of the time), and we both thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. My husband had a peach brandy flip, and I ordered the zero proof blackberry smash. We had the king trumpet appetizer, which reminded me a lot of Moroccan cuisine. I ordered the warm smoked potato salad, which we also split. The salad was a generous portion. I could easily make a meal of one of their salads! I decided to try the gnocchi, and my husband ordered the Italian sausage and fennel. I totally forgot the menu is gluten free. The gnocchi were fantastic! If you love carrots, these gnocchi come with roasted carrots and pickled carrots. My husband said he enjoyed the natural sweetness of the seed bread that came with his sausages. The chocolate cake was definitely the star of the show. We would return just for the cake!!! We couldn't believe it was both gluten free and vegan. The raspberry dusting on the plate complements the super dark chocolate perfectly.

    Whether you are vegan or not you have to go to the Green House Restaurant. My party of three ( one vegan) all agreed that the ambiance of the restaurant was perfect and the food was amazing. We started with arancini, so tasty and not greasy, ceviche made with artichoke and corn bread that any southern grandma would love. Entrees of fresh pasta lemoni that was light made with peas, lions mane mushrooms that tasted like steak and paella that would stand up to any Spanish restaurant. Vegan cheesecake and chocolate cake for desert was a great way to finish a perfect meal. They had a full bar and good wine choices too. Overall a true gem in Wilmington! Don't miss this restaurant. Kudos to owners, chefs and staff!

    Excellent vegan food- took my best friend here for her 30th birthday and it was incredible. We loved every dish we tried. The lions mane mushroom with the potato pave was so flavorful and unexpectedly good. The presentation was also great and we shared two appetizers and two entrees which was a good amount of food for us and we still had room for dessert. We couldn't really taste any jalapeño in the cornbread but it was good cornbread. The bisque was perfect- not too salty and had great flavor and nice crunch on top with pumpkin seeds. The ambiance was amazing- super clean and modern and I love that they have their own attached greenhouse where they grow their own greens and herbs. They also have reverse osmosis water. Everything is very farm to table/sustainable which is great. Our server was great too and friendly!

    Made a reservation online the same day. Hours before we went. So simple. Place is fabulous. We will definitely be going back. They have washcloths as "paper towels " in the bathrooms. That is definitely something I can appreciate! I do that in my own home but for the kitchen. Everything here is gluten free!!! They have a good drink menu. The menu is simple. I would pass on the charcuterie board. That was the only thing we were not impressed with for price. (However the mushrooms on that board were amazing) Salads are sizable and great. The Entrée was amazing! So flavorful! We were questioning our choice when the board came out but the salad and the main dish definitely had us happy and satisfied!

    Made reservations on https://www.exploretock.com/thegreenhousenc The address listed on there was incorrect so we got a little lost. Mentioned it to the staff and they corrected the address immediately. Currently, they don't have a sign out front so it may be a little hard to find. When you see the sign for Union Bank, you have arrived. The interior design and decor is very minimalistic, clean, white. I almost felt like I was in SoCal for a minute. You can tell a lot of thought was put into every detail of the restaurant. Plants line the middle of the room, adding a fresh pop of color to the nearly white interior. The tables are made of wood with cream-colored chairs and booths and set with white linen dinner napkins. There is bar seating as well. In the bathroom, there are one-time use hand towels. Staff uniforms are blue denim, which adds to the clean look. Upbeat music was playing during our dinner. All of the foods are vegan and gluten-free. Majority of the foods are organic and they try to source local. We started out with complimentary cornbread with a vegan butter, flavored with cinnamon and citrus. It was a nice small snack. For salads we tried the Ribbons of Root ($13) and Arugula and Herbs ($13). They were both good and I would get them again. The Arugula and Herbs had more dressing so it was a bit oilier and had a tangy taste. I liked the variety of shredded/thinly sliced root vegetables in the Ribbons of Root salad and the different textures with the addition of chopped macadamia nuts and pomegranate. For entrees we tried the Aubergine Filet ($29) and the Italian Sausage and Fennel ($28). They were both good and I would get them again. The Aubergine Filet is made to be a "steak", so it's half of a large eggplant cooked to a thick meaty texture. I liked the brown gravy and the chunky parsnip potatoes that came with the dish. The Italian Sausage is made with walnuts and white beans, but looks just like sausage. You can obviously tell when eating it that is not real sausage, because it has more of the mashed bean texture. I liked that parts of the exterior were a little crispy. The sausage was laid over sliced fennel bulbs and a slightly sweet chunky and seedy tomato sauce. For desserts, we tried the Fruit galette ($13) and Matcha Brulee ($12). The fruit used is seasonal- it was blueberry during our visit. The blueberry filling of the Fruit galette was good, but the crust was a little hearty and dense. I liked the lemon zest garnish on the blueberries. The Matcha Brulee was interesting. It had the caramelized crust of a creme brulee but the pudding filling had the flavor of matcha and a touch of ginger. It was served with strawberry cream on the side topped with diced fresh strawberries and a garnish of sliced candied ginger. For drinks we tried the Dragonfruit Smash cocktail (non alcoholic/$11) and the Daou The Pessimist Red Blend Rasi Robles red wine ($12). I liked the cocktail and my partner enjoy the red wine. Be aware, if you have a lot of to-go boxes and want a bag, there is a $10 fee. The $10 is a donation fee to the Plastic Ocean Project. We had a lot of to-go boxes so I appreciated the waitress labeling the food that was in each box. Some of the prices were a bit pricey. If you can get over that, this is a great restaurant for vegetarians, vegans and for anyone looking to try creative foods in an upscale setting.

    This is my third time dining at this establishment and I'm always amazed at the quality and deliciousness of the food. Amazing quality of ingredients, satisfying and brilliantly combined and well worth the prices. Service is excellent, great cocktails and modern minimalist designed interior. Please let them know if you have any food allergies since a lot of their meals have nuts. I had their Smokes Sausage entree which was made from walnuts. It was phenomenal! This is the place where you can take your non vegan friends and they will be pleasantly surprised and love their meals.

    So impressed! Coming from LA with many vegan/plant based options this place did more than impress us! The flavors were fresh and grown in house, we toured the greenhouse. Unique, colorful clean presentation. Everything is home made, grown in house and or locally sourced. The service was friendly and efficient. The interior and story behind shows sustainability with little waste. Worth the price point! Cannot wait to visit again.

    This place is hard for me to rate. The food may be fabulous to those that are vegan and gluten free, but it's not my typical food. We were here to celebrate our friends birthday and we wanted to share her special day. The staff were fabulous! Very attentive. Great atmosphere except the six of us sat on bar stools. We were there for two hours and a few times some of us stood up to stretch our backs. Not comfortable at all. We started with the Charcuterie for a crowd ($40), which had an, "An assortment of cheeses, charcuteries, with crackers and accompaniments.; For six of us, we all had a very small taste on the plate. I would rather them reduce the amount of items to a fewer amount so everyone had the chance to taste each one. DH said most things tasted the same. I think my favorite was the mushroom pate. Four of us ordered the Italian Sausage & Fennel, "Roasted fennel and grilled Italian sausage made from walnuts and white beans, are nestled upon a fresh tomato sauce with a slice of freshly baked seeded loaf." The sausage reminded me of a dense bean burger. Good flavors, not much fennel, but the sauce was good. My two other friends enjoyed their food. Really, it was 'okay' for DH and me. Very expensive for a veggie/vegan dinner. No, we won't go back but we were happy to be with our friends.

    Looking for a vegan Thanksgiving meal?…read more It's holiday season and if you're like me, spending hours in the kitchen does not sound like fun. But being one of the only plant-based eater with limited options at a family meal isn't either. So last year I opted to pick up a prepared meal from Sealevel. EVERYTHING was delicious but my favs were the greens, potatoes, pumpkin pie and butterbeans. Everything was perfectly packaged and includes instructions for reheating. As you're making holiday plans and if your family dinner includes even 1 - 2 plant based eaters, consider picking up a FULLY prepared meal option for them. OR if you're visiting ILM and want a low-key Thanksgiving, check out Sealevel. I've included their menu from last year but this year's version should be available soon.

    I can't believe I haven't been here sooner! I had family in town who are vegetarian, so we decided…read moreto try Sealevel! We got the Porto burger with fried plantains, Kale Nachos, the tempeh Reuben, and the chipotle burger (forgetting the name) with fries and all shared! All so good! I will definitely go back for another Porto and not share next time! Ended the meal with their oatmeal cream pie. The filling was just delicious! Plus the diner is super cute and service was great. All around a lovely experience.
