Definitely a first class experience. Our service was exceptional, the food was great and the atmosphere was perfect. We went there before a show at the Playhouse because it was really close and the menu looked interesting. We were seated quickly and our drink order was in as soon as we sat down. I ordered the duck medium rare and my girlfriend ordered the 14 oz ribeye. The food came out quickly and was cooked perfectly. We will most definitely be going back.

The best bartender at Tonic — Erin!

I have to give a huge shoutout to Erin, hands down the best bartender at Tonic. Every time I come in, she remembers my order, greets me with a genuine smile, and somehow manages to juggle a packed bar while still giving everyone personal attention. Her drinks are always perfectly made, and she has this effortless way of making the whole vibe feel warm, fun, and inviting.

Erin is the reason I keep coming back — she’s professional, personable, and truly amazing at what she does. If you’re at Tonic, do yourself a favor and sit at her bar. You won’t regret it!

Such a great spot for a night out in Wilmington! ✨

Started with the Blueberry Mule and it was super refreshing — perfectly balanced between tart and sweet, without being overly sugary. The fresh blueberry flavor really popped and made it feel like a summer cocktail in a glass!

For dinner, the salmon was absolutely incredible. It was cooked to buttery perfection and paired with juicy, lightly roasted pears and crisp-tender broccoli — such a creative and delicious combination that brought out the richness of the fish.

The Caesar salad was classic and satisfying, with a creamy, flavorful dressing. The steak on top was decent — cooked well but could have been a little more seasoned to stand out.

The honey-roasted carrots with goat cheese were a fun side dish! Sweet and savory with that tangy goat cheese kick, although the portion size was definitely on the smaller side.

Overall, the food was really good and thoughtfully prepared ️. It’s definitely a little pricy for Wilmington, but you can tell the quality is there. Great vibes, friendly service, and would still recommend if you’re looking to treat yourself!

Alright, get ready for a review that’ll make your mouth water and your fingers itch to make a reservation!
Listen up, fellow foodies and romance seekers! My recent expedition to Tonic Seafood & Steak in Wilmington was nothing short of spectacular. Picture this: a balmy evening, stars peeking out, and my amazing girlfriend by my side as we dined al fresco in an atmosphere that whispered sweet nothings.
Let’s talk food, shall we? I dove headfirst into the duck, and oh boy, the flavor was an absolute symphony! My girlfriend, meanwhile, was in pure bliss with her crab cake. Seriously, every bite was a testament to culinary artistry. And the drinks? Forget about it! They were so good, they practically danced on our tongues.
Now, let’s give a standing ovation to the service. Our waiter was a true maestro! Not only was he a wizard with the extensive whiskey, bourbon, and scotch selections, but he even concocted a custom cocktail for my girlfriend that was spot-on! Talk about going the extra mile!
We kicked things off with the calamari and beef short rib egg rolls – a delightful duet of textures and tastes that set the stage for the main event. Yes, it’s a tad on the pricier side, but trust me on this one, every single penny was an investment in an unforgettable experience.
Fast forward, and I’ve already played restaurant matchmaker, recommending Tonic to one of my best friends. Guess what? They were absolutely blown away and showered me with gratitude for the tip!
So, if you’re looking for a top-notch dining experience in Wilmington, a place that nails the food, the drinks, the service, and sets the perfect romantic mood, then Tonic Seafood & Steak is your spot. Trust me, your taste buds (and your date!) will thank you. I’m already counting down the days until my next visit!

We made a 6:15 reservation for Valentine’s Day. It was busy, but not overwhelming. And it pretty quiet for being a fully booked restaurant. I loved the ambiance arms the lightly. It wasn’t too dim that you couldn’t see, but enough to be romantic. We only had to wait a minute to be taken to our table. Our server CJ was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We ordered drinks which came out quickly and were delicious. I had an espresso martini ale my husband had the lambrusco smash. We both got the crab bisque, such was a little on the non-traditonal side, but still was delicious. Shortly after that our meals came out. I ordered the Chefs cut steak which was a Hanger steak with chimichurri served with roasted fingerling potatoes. My husband ordered the King Cut Ribeye with bourbon cream sauce and chili parmesan fries. Everything was amazing and service was very speedy. A little too speedy for a date night. We wanted to savor our time there and ordered a couple more drinks and CJ said he didn’t mind that we stayed a little longer. We used an app called InKind to pay for our meal and received a $30 off coupon, and then also received a credit to use in the future at another place. There were so many delicious things to choose from on the menu and I cannot wait to go here again. I highly recommend this place.

My fiancé and I had the pleasure of having Alex K as our server last week. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and even recommended some dishes based on our dietary restrictions. While the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant was obviously quite wonderful, our server really made the entire experience unforgettable. We will definitely be returning very soon!

Went here for dinner during happy hour and had a great time! We ordered the brussels sprouts, fried calamari, and wings, all were tasty and hit the spot. Fun atmosphere, good deals on drinks, and good food. Would definitely go again!

I recently attended a work event at Tonic and had an outstanding experience. Our bartender, Bree, was phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and incredibly skilled at her craft. Even with a busy crowd, she remained quick and consistent, making sure everyone was well taken care of throughout the evening. The food was delicious as well, which made for a perfect combination. I’d definitely return for both the drinks and the atmosphere. Highly recommend!
