Marina Grill
Marina Grill is a waterfront restaurant in Wilmington with a large patio overlooking the Cape Fear River and Port City Marina. The space includes a spacious interior for groups and a substantial outdoor area, offering lunch and dinner menus plus Sunday brunch with ingredients sourced from local farmers, fishermen, and producers.
Marina Grill draws inspiration from the waterfront revival and downtown development that have transformed the riverwalk area in recent years. The restaurant emerged as part of this broader revitalization effort, contributing to the growth of the Marina District as a destination for dining and entertainment.
Marina Grill takes its name from the adjacent Port City Marina, reflecting the waterfront character that shapes daily life here. The space draws locals and visitors who gather to share meals and listen to live summer music while watching boats on the river.
The restaurant sits at the northern end of the riverwalk with convenient parking nearby and easy access to local entertainment venues like the amphitheater and Live Oak Pavilion. Plan your visit during golden hour if you want the best sunset views from the patio, and note that outdoor space fills with live music during summer months.
Marina Grill works directly with local fishermen, ensuring that catch-of-the-day specials and seasonal seafood are always fresh. This close partnership allows the kitchen to design menus that shift with the natural rhythm of what comes from the water.
