three10

Lovely elevated southern food. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the recommendations we got from our waitress were so good. Entrees had drinks recommended to pair with them and I think it really made the meal. I loved every piece of the meal, and I thought the flavors in the dishes were familiar, but different in exciting ways. Can’t wait to go back for another special dinner.

I have eaten at Three10 twice and had the same opinion both times. Positives: 100% health department score, food was very good and creative. Negatives: limited parking and menu, super noisy hard to have a conversation, service can be slow at times.

Menu items change seasonally. The winter menu has several great choices and the proteins are interchangeable for most dishes. Great specialty drinks. Service was exceptional. Atmosphere was good for a converted home. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Parking availability is also a plus.

I heard about three10 on the Wilmington NC Reddit page. Lots of raves. So we went. And it's a great place. Beautiful old house, terrific service. The food was very good but it didn't knock me out.

This was out of my usual experience. They were good at putting me at ease. Tried food I'd never had before and it was very good. Expect to take your time here, this is not fast food.

First time visiting our new favorite restaurant! service was excellent, Kate our server even gave us advice when we asked for the meal choice, and we LOVED both the buttery tile fish option and the seared tuna- beautiful presentation and good sized portions- delicious!! We will absolutely be back.

This restaurant has definitely set the bar high. I dined with 5 friends celebrating a birthday-and all of our food was outstanding! Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I highly recommend this jewel, in the quaint little section of downtown, called The Brooklyn Arts District.

Can’t say enough good things about what this place is doing for the food scene in Wilmington! Go check it out and support your local eats. And if you’re in town, put this on your list. It’s a favorite of ours for sure. The cocktails and wines are always on point. The food is special. Unique flavor combinations that titillate the tongue. And don’t forget to save room for desserts and pour over coffee!

Started with the broiled oysters which were really flavorful, well-seasoned, and meaty. The tuna tartar was a bit too simple for us. It was very fresh, but the apples seemed out of place and the dish was just nothing to write home about. The hush puppies were excellent. The nice, crispy, and flavorful corn meal paired so well with the acidic jam below it. For my main, I got the pork belly and loin. The pork belly was absolutely insane. It was crispy, fatty, so flavorful, and extremely flakey. The loin was so tender and well seasoned. The mashed potatoes and the sauce below it added a nice side element as well but were a tad bit watery. Overall, a great restaurant exemplifying Wilmington. The service was friendly, the ambiance was simple, but elegant, and I would definitely come back. Overall 4.8/5

We had an amazing dinner tonight. Starting with the hush puppy appetizer with jelly. Very tasty. I had the tuna with asian confit. I highly recommend this dish. My partner this evening had the scallops and shrimp ala vodka sauce. Not as fantastic, but excellent nevertheless. This restaurant has always been a favorite when I come into town.

Great place! Went on a date with my wife. We had a couple oysters, the happy appetizer and the red drum entree. All were very good but the oyster was fantastic....... Service was a bit slow (took awhile for the entree) but ok. Not enough to dock any rating... Highly recommend but I don't know if young kids would be easy while here. Great date place or just with friends. Business meal would be fine as well. Make sure you make a reservation. We saw several people walk up and get turned away.

Just an amazing food experience. Service is professional but friendly, and it's a relaxed environment. Not too noisy. We have eaten here a few times, and the menu is always creative, seafood forward and the cocktails are delicious. Wish this gem was closer to our home- we would be regulars. Parking available on site. And it's walking distance to the music venue and Wilson Center. Highly recommend.

Three10 was the perfect choice for a celebration dinner with my group of friends. The location and interior are even cuter in person than in photos. The food and service were outstanding! The menu is beautiful and complete with food and drink pairing suggestions. Their range of dishes made this a great fit for our group of 6. I will be dreaming of the Sesame Crusted Seared Yellowfin Tuna - this was the perfect dish for a weekend trip to the beach. I love that the dish was spicy but balanced, and flavorful. I will come back to this restaurant time and time again!

We love this place! The food is consistently tasty, they change the menu so there is always something new to try, their cocktails are divine, and they have great outdoor seating. The service is always top notch.

Three10 is in a good spot right now. Husband and wife team and working really hard and constantly delivering a great menu. I had their mushroom grits with shrimp and it was a 10 out or 10. The appetizers have become classics -- particulalry the hush puppies with spicy jelly and the biscuits with pimento cheese and ham. Also the boiled oysters and out of sight. Pork loin/pork belly dish could use a bit of work -- maybe a simpler plate with a simpler sauce. The tuna tartare was outstanding. All other dishes and consistently great. Seemed like the bar was short staffed last night but the waiters were doing a great job making drinks. Nice atmosphere both inside and out -- the neighborhood has a nice bohemian feel and the ice cream shop acorss the street -- Boombalatti's -- is great. All in all this is a very special place and a high recommend for special occasions, weekend nights and date night. It's also great for families but a big check so if that kids are not foodies you might want to think twice. We got out of there last night for 8 people for $550 -- not bad for a gourmet meal!

Food was excellent Service was wonderful We sat outside and enjoyed the nice spring weather Great place!!!

A charming modern Southern seafood restaurant with welcoming atmosphere. We were seated inside dining room but I love the outdoor porch seatings. Both service and food were great. My friend and I start off with Half dozen Oysters, and Carolina Gold Hushpuppies. The Pepper Jelly for the hushpuppies was amazingly good. For entrees, I ordered the Duck Confit Pasta which was pretty tasty and my friend opted for the Grouper with Grilled Stuffed Zucchini.

We had an excellent meal and service. Beautiful renovated house with a warm ambiance. I'm looking forward to going back !

Absolutely loved my meal here. The flavor and presentation was exquisite! You can tell the chefs clearly love their food and put so much thought and effort into it. I personally had the scallop shrimp grits dish (and I never enjoyed shrimp and grits before this). This was different. The tomatos and the green sauce on the perimeter added some nice herby acidic freshness. Waitress was kind, fun to talk to and you and tell people just enjoyed being there. It was more like an upscale casual dining experience. I also love their bathroom interior design. I had this a few days ago and already want to come back to be honest. Thank you Wilmington for this treat!! This is part of my top 2 restaurants in NC so far.

This spot is stunning! Service with Cole was impeccable and I loved having so many GF options! This was my first time in Wilmington. The restaurant is in a historic neighborhood in a reimagined home. I ordered the hush puppies with pepper jelly (*chef's kiss*) and the crab gazpacho. All very good for a hit and sticky summer night! Highly recommend checking out their comprehensive list of cocktails. So many yummy options there too!

Excellent food, great service and a lovely little house with great dining porch, never been disappointed

Just want to say that the polenta that they are currently serving at three10 is the best I've ever had. Get it with scallops on it. You won't be sorry.

DH and I had dinner with friends. We made reservations that afternoon but were able to get seats at the bar. The place filled up quickly! Set in a renovated home, we found the it to be very noisy inside. It's located in the Brooklyn Arts District in Wilmington. They have a lovely wrap-around porch for outside dining. The menu is limited to a raw bar, small plates, and large plates; and they have a brunch menu. What a wonderful place to have dinner. We started with cocktails. I had a tasty Palmona, which included tequila, elderflower liqueur, grapefruit, fresh lime and orange juice, and agave. For my entrée, I ordered the crispy skin red snapper. I've never had red snapper before and I was very pleased with the entrée. It included cornbread gnocchi (oh so tender), marinated tomatoes, shishito peppers, in a country ham glaze. $28 and worth every penny. DH had the grilled yellowfin tuna, $30, also excellent. We all shared the Carolina gold huspuppies (made with cornbread) $8. The were so light and fluffy on the inside. They were served with a pepper jelly. My friends loved their entrees. Their menu changes based on what's in season. Excellent food, excellent service, pricey menu but worth every penny. Great cocktails and wine too. It's a favorite.

It really is cool venue with a cool history. The interior to me was over refinished, removing the details of the historic feel, it may have been unavoidable. With that being said, it really is a great place to have a special dinner (Romantic, Friends, Family, quiet birthdays etc.) We were sat at a table and served by Caroline and she was pretty amazing, informative, and just plain happy. This really set the tone and even though my Marg was watery and not so bueno, it did nothing to dampen the evening. Our dinner started out with Carolina Gold Hush puppies and the pepper jelly just added the best flavor to them, they were hot and flavorful. I then had the Smoked Mushroom gumbo with the flounder and it was just so good ( The gumbo itself and all of the other dishes are lacking in the slightest bit of salt, so ask in advance). The wife had the Scallops, so beautifully prepared and plated, it literally could have been a work of art. We finished of with the strawberry key lime pie, just so good. All in all it was an amazing visit and we will return. (Since have this last weekend and just as good, with family) Have a Date night and splurge a little, you won't be sorry if you choose "Three 10"

My wife and I eat at 3ten restaurant for the first time Nov. 8th. The ambiance of the restaurant building and the seasonal menu were absolutely spot on. We greeted by a very professional wait staff. We started with a dinner cocktail and shared one dozen NC oyster's which were fantastic. Very buttery to the taste with cocktail and mignonette sauces were superb. For dinner my wife had the Blacken Grouper and I had the Halibut Special, both were very tasty and cooked to perfection. We finished the meal with homemade vanilla ice cream with puff pastry filled with apple and berry, covered in Salted Carmel sauce. This was the perfect meal cooked and served by true professional's. For all you foodie's out there this is a must stop. We dined inside, but the outdoor wrap around porch will be our next spot to dine. Awesome dinning restaurant.

Took out of town guests for a southern inspired dinning experience. exceeded our expectations. Entrees were wonderful, sweet potato biscuit s with condiments were delicious. Quality wine selection.

Had a wonderful anniversary dinner with my husband tonight at Three10. Our server, Caroline, was fabulous, very knowledgeable of the menu, and her recommendations were spot on. The ambiance was peaceful and timeless, we sat on the patio and with the weather and the perfect playlist we knew we were in for a treat. The food blew us away. For starters we got the tuna tartare, which had a very healthy and delicious amount of tuna, and the mushroom gumbo which was so good my husband immediately started googling how he could remake it at home. Entrees we decided on the yellowfin tuna, which again the amount of tuna was more than we expected in the best way not to mention seared and flavored to perfection, and we also got the Duck Pasta which I could've eaten all night long. 10/10 all around. I'm very happy this is where we ended up. Thanks Caroline!

The food is excellent - my friends had the black garlic Cesar and the cauliflower dish with shrimp. I ordered the seared scallops with squash purée. It was excellent but I have to mention that the count of 3 seared scallops in an entree (not a small plate) for over $30 is not great value. The service is very good; knowledgeable and friendly servers. The porch is a wonderful place to sit in good weather - decor is beautiful.

Went here for the first time on Wednesday night! Ordered the fish dip as an appetizer, shrimp and scallops entree, a porch sipper moonshine cocktail, and the cheesecake. My date and I weren't a huge fan of the chips that came with the fish dip, but the dip itself was great. LOVED my entree, drink, and the cheesecake was to die for. My date ordered the gnocchi and a Tom Collins cocktail and he said they were phenomenal as well. I'd order an entire box of that cheesecake. The waitress and service was also top notch - we didn't wait long for food, and everyone was so nice and welcoming. It was also a plus that my date and I got to sit in a cozy booth, which was comfortable and private. SUCH a cute spot, and we'd definitely eat there again. Highly recommend for a date night!

Great dinner! Staff were very attentive and everything was wonderful! Specials were top notch, to include the drink that was topped with pistachio oil.

I made a reservation through leaving a voicemail message. It didn't take too long for someone to call back to confirm. Three10 is essentially a house that's repurposed into a restaurant. It's located right across Throwback Bakery and is walking distance to Boombalatti's and Palate. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The dine-in menu was missing the Caesar salad and apple dessert from their menu posted on online, both items which I wanted to try. Hopefully that was just temporary. I got the seared diver scallops entree and the raspberry ricotta pound cake dessert. They were both good, but the scallop dish could be improved. The scallops were a bit heavy on the salt than I preferred, otherwise, it had a nice fresh black peppercorn seasoning on top. The scallops were served with Sea Island red peas and a baby portion of mustard greens with a touch of green bell pepper and a root vegetable on a green sauce. The entire dish itself wasn't that big and I was still a little bit hungry afterwards. So if you get this dish, I would suggest getting an appetizer to make it more filling. I enjoyed the raspberry ricotta pound cake. It was topped with fresh raspberries, lime zest whipped cream, and a tart berry sauce.

My review is based on the food quality and service, all of which were very good. This is not to say that anything here is inexpensive, all menu items are top-dollar. The large portion seared sesame tuna, winter veg-risotto w/ scallops & the shrimp & grits were 5*. Drinks & oysters (which need less grit/shell) are good, but pricey. Open casual dining area is ample, seating at the bar with a full-view of the kitchen looked pretty nice. Chef needs to make the rounds and greet clientele to support the intended upscale nature of this venue. Street parking.

Great little upscale restaurant. Great ambiance, attentive and knowledgeable service. Great mixologist. Food was paced/timed nicely. Presentation was done with care and very fresh ingredients. Would like to see patrons dress for the atmosphere vs shorts/tees/sandals.

Gnocchi was fantastic! Absolutely mouthwatering, delicious! My mom had it and we all kept sneaking bites off her plate. Great cocktail menu, enjoyed one with yellow chartreuse! Love the open bar kitchen decor. The way the inside is laid out, carries sound easily, so it was a little noisy. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Not too far down from the college area, easy street parking.

I came by for brunch with my best friend while she was in town. We started with the mimosa flight - both of our faves were the strawberry basil and peach pecan. For entrees we each got the soft shell crab sandwich, and we split a piece of pie to finish off. All flavors were excellent as was the service. The only bummer was that after we finished our mimosa flight we each wanted a full glass of our favorite flavor, but the individual mimosa was the same size as the glass in the flight, so it didn't feel worth it. Definitely worth checking out; I'll be back!

What a lovely date night spot! I loved the interior of the restaurant, but the outdoor seating looked beautiful as well. We started our meal with local oysters caught in North Carolina paired with a cider and beer brewed in Durham, NC (sorry, couldn't help it!). I had the tuna steak with quinoa, and my partner got the chef special and added shrimp. I couldn't help myself from eating from his plate the entire time. Yum!!!!!

I think the Three 10 restaurant opened in October 2021 and is located at 1022 N Fourth St., in the Brooklyn Arts District of Wilmington. It is housed in a historic bungalow that dates back to the 1920's. The dining room and porch renovated, and a new addition was built to hold the kitchen. We ate outside on the porch because it was such a beautiful evening, so I can't comment on the interior dining areas. I started the evening with their Peal & Eat Shrimp (1/2 lb. Old Bay shrimp, house cocktail sauce, brown butter dijonnaise, lemon) which was fantastic. The shrimp by itself was large, tender, and tasty but when you dipped it into the brown butter dijonnaise it became exceptional. I paired it with a Paloma cocktail. This cocktail contained silver tequila, elderflower liqueur, and grapefruit. Next, I had a Butter Lettuces salad which contained radishes, fresh herbs, pickled onion, and bourbon candied pecans in a buttermilk dressing. The salad was delicious by itself but paired with a Silver Gimlet brought the salad to the next level. Oh, the bourbon candied pecans were so good, if they ever opened an on-line store and had these as an item, they would be their number one seller, fantastic. For the main course I had their Grilled Yellow Tuna - Vadouvan spiced, peanut romesco, grilled carrot, slaw, and cilantro. It won't replace a good baked stuffed lobster, but it's a good second place. It was delicious, cooked medium with a good sear. My wife ordered their Carolina Gold Hushpuppies, which she loved. They were covered in a pepper jelly sauce which was delicious. The hushpuppies were crisp on the outside and soft and moist inside, cooked perfectly.

Went here with two friends while visiting Wilmington. Ate on the porch on a nice evening. The food was fantastic! One of our party has celiac disease, and our server was really knowledgeable and accommodating. I would definitely return.

Flavor and a wonderful atmosphere on a cool evening at the Three 10 restaurant.  I arrived to a beautiful table set outside on the porch for our dining.   We started off with a taste of the Peel and Eat Shrimp small plate.  The shrimp is flavored with Old Bay and it was delicious on its own.  Now, the interesting part...to dip it in a brown butter dijonnaise sauce.  Wow, who'd a thunk?  It was creamy and the flavor of the dijon was perfect.  Served with this was a Paloma (Silver tequila, elderflower liqueur and grapefruit).  Hit the spot. The second tasting was tuna tartare, which I have never had.  The tuna was good but the snap pea-coconut cream sauce was what I enjoyed.  And served with it was a refreshing crisp pickled rhubarb-ginger along with a Carolina Gold rice chip.  I thought it was similar to a pork rind in texture but the it had a very good flavor.  I could have eaten a bowl full.  With this dish we were given four different Mimosa's. Strawberry basil-not my fav; Peach pecan which tasted like a Werthers original candy esp. with the strong pecan taste; Grapefruit rosemary which I enjoyed; and a Butterfly pea, lavender, ginger, honey mimosa which I really did not like, but only because I do not care for lavender. The third tasting was butter lettuce salad that had radishes, onion and Bourbon candied pecans.  Along with this was a Silver Gimlet (Gin, house shrub, creme de violette, and lime).  OMG- I don't like gin but this drink had me wanting more.   The fourth tasting was Grilled yellow-fin Tuna- again I have never had.  I thought it was okay, but I noticed everyone else really enjoyed it.  I heard several people in our group say it was the best dish of the night. What I thought was good and I ate all of it, was the grilled carrots in a peanut romesco.  This tasting was served with an Old Friend (Rye whiskey, Campari, Grand Marnier).... no thank you, way to strong for me. I ordered the Carolina Gold Hush-puppies with pepper jelly.  I love hush-puppies and these were the best I have ever had.  Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, perfect flavor, and the pepper jelly was out of this world. It is homemade and though not spicy hot, which is how I like it, I asked if I could buy jar. The service was perfect.  Everyone was so eager to make us happy.   I will come back and bring my daughter the next time she is in town specifically for the hush-puppies, butter lettuce salad and the silver gimlet. Thank you for a wonderful evening of fabulous food and friendship.

Innovative, crafted, seasonal and delicious flavors. Good variety of seafood choices. Showcases local ingredients and food traditions in elegant ways. Very grateful for the dairy-free menu and helpful wait staff willing to navigate allergies. We had both raw and grilled oysters, hush puppies with pepper jelly, a delicious seared tuna dish dusted with spice and served with a roasted carrot salad, snapper with gnocchi that tasted of fall, chocolate cheesecake and a dairy-free horchata panna cotta with a fruit compote. Even the coffee was smooth and beautifully presented. We sat comfortably outside on a wide porch with ceiling fans. Lovely historic house converted into the restaurant with a bustling open kitchen. Elegant dinner without the need for allergy meds before a fun concert a short walking distance across the way. We enjoyed it very much, hope you do too!

Went there for dinner on Saturday night and could not have been happier. Started out with oysters, that had a horseradish side, cocktail sauce side and a sweet vinaigrette too, great appetizers. I had the red drum fish and my wife had the shrimp and scallops. Both were fabulous!

Amazing! Very nice little place in a revitalized area in downtown Wilmington. Great service. Great food. Very nice place. We sat outside on the porch. It was perfect. Forgot to take pics of the food but was amazing!! Highly recommend.

This new place, located in the very cool Brooklyn Arts District, is becoming my new "go to" place in town. The place specializes in fresh seafood, with inspired dishes such as the tuna tartare and soft shell crab that is off the charts! If seafood isn't your thing, try the pork chop dish. It will blow you away! Situated in an historic house, the atmosphere is upscale casual, and features inside or outside dining on the covered porch. The bartenders do a nice job with creative cocktails and some of Wilmington's best brews. This place will not disappoint!

We came for brunch today and ate inside. The decor is so beautiful and enchanting. I had a Bloody Mary and it was delicious. Purely drag and made from scratch. You can taste the love the chef puts into each item. My friend had the basic mimosa flights. I ordered the smoked trout Benedict with fruit. I loved the sauce. It was very filling and the fruit with the fresh mint was also wonderful. My friend had an amazing soft shell crab sandwich with the best home fries I ever had. The bacon was impeccable, too. Wonderful service! The server brought us a dessert that was very creamy and refreshing to the palate.

My partner and I tried Three10 for the first time tonight and were not disappointed. The restaurant is a converted bungalow home with a casual yet upscale atmosphere. The speciality cocktails were delicious (the Basil 75, in particular), our meals had excellent flavor, and our waitress was wonderful--and was able to recommend great wine pairings with dinner! Overall, Three10 was excellent and I would highly recommend it if you're in the Wilmington area.

This restaurant was a surprisingly a great find. The atmosphere is fantastic. This area of Wilmington is really building up with new businesses! We got the Johnny cakes appetizer and was delicious! Loved the raw oysters, they have a great selection. Most of the dishes were fish but we opted for the duck. The only thing I could say slightly off is it the duck needed little more flavor but was moist and tasted good. Our panna cotta desert was AMAZING! The staff was super friendly and pleasant. I definitely will be going back

Beautiful old house downtown, restored with loving care. Dining room and porch are both terrific, dining room a bit noisy when it's crowded. But the cocktails and food are outstanding. Service is professional and prompt. Thanks Kate! We had a great night! Will be back.

Great Service and Food. Watch out for Mosquitoes when sitting outside. Beautiful design ambience for inside and outside dining areas. To the food, definitely do the Peel and Eat Shrimp, BEST I ever had. Everything we got on the menu did not disappoint.

Outstanding presentation in a great setting. The Decor is upscale but not overly pretentious. Service was excellent and the drinks were expertly prepared. Recommend this place highly.

Been here twice and love everything about it! The food and drinks are fabulous, and the atmosphere is calm and welcoming.

A hidden gem offering southern dining on an expansive porch creating intimate and noetic savory adventures from many artfully crafted menu items. Everything I have ordered at Three10 has far exceeded my expectations. It's rare to experience savory selections, perfectly crafted beverages, sinfully from-scratch desserts, and exceptional service all under one roof that encompasses historical Wilmington and a time in our past that valued meaningful conversations at the table. This is what you've been waiting for.

Amazing food!! The porkchop was so tender and salty. Tuna tartare had a really good sauce on the side. Black garlic Cesar was delicious. Oysters were briny and great sauces on the side

Very cool restaurant. Outside porch was lovely and inside was jumping! Definitely need reservations. Our server, Claire, was attentive and very helpful as we chose our dinner menu. Baked oyster appetizer was delicious as were our entrees. Dress was casual to dressy and everything in between. Excellent dinner with plenty of parking. Only suggestion is a more diverse gin selection :)

If you like salt, a little more salt.....and then more salt then this is the place for you! Why seafood would need soooo much salt is beyond me but apparently it does and the corn bread and hush puppies want to be bland and dry. The decor is drab. Feels like your simultaneously in a cheap wedding reception and your grandmother's house. Oh! And they were playing hair metal? Not ironically. It was all disappointing and bewildering.

Three 10 was a slight disappointment. We discovered this quaint little restaurant while on the way to a wedding rehearsal after party. The decor was simple and elegant. We chose to eat outdoors on the porch. Loved the plants, swags, and ambiance outside. It took a while to get our drinks. They were fine but nothing special. The menu had just a few offerings. We got the hush puppies which were basic. I chose the strawberry sunflower salad which was delicious. My bf had the flounder covered in country ham. It was mediocre at best. The service was slow. We had to ask several times for our check and finally had to get up to leave to pay. It wasn't all that busy. I think our situation may have been isolated and due to a poor waitress. I'd give it another try but I'd check the menu for more options. (Oh and they were totally out of shrimp and the tuna tartare.)

Outstanding food, drinks and service. The indoor seat is a bit loud, but dining on the porch was wonderful. Highly recommend this place!

Awesome Black Garlic Caesar salad! I had the mushroom gumbo with shrimp and my better 1/2 had the diver scallops. This restaurant came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. Service and quality was fantastic. We will be back.
