We started our Friday night out with a terrific experience. we had been told about 18 Seaboard for months now but being from Charlotte we hadn't had the opportunity to dine there yet. Friday November 2nd was our first time in the restaurant with a couple of friends from the triangle and it was well worth the wait. We were seated promptly on arrivel which was a pretty early reservation for a friday night but the hostess was prompt and friendly. We were seated and the decor and atmosphere was excellent. we started to look at the menu and our server came over to us and asked if we would like water because of the current water restriction. he was extremely polite. He then asked if we would like a drink and we decided it was a wine night, so he talked over the wine list and gave us great advice on white and red wine. He by no means was pompous about the wine list or his knowledge. He preceeded to tell us the special. He made it sound so tempting we all wanted it but we had been told about the wood fire grill too much to pass on it. We got our wine and it was perfect for the price. Our server (Steve) then talked to us about the menu and went over any questions we had. It turned out that he was from Seattle and my wife had recently visited the city so they talked a little about it and he was funny, bright, and polite. We ordered and got appetizers. The bread was fresh and tasty and the salads and soups were outstanding. We then promptly were cleared of our plates and the entrees came out in perfect time. The wood fire grill is amazing adding flavor to my steak and my wifes wahoo. The sauces our server recommended were absolutley divine and the whole meal was perfectly portioned and filling. We all almost cleaned our plate. We got the sticky toffee pudding on our servers words and loved it so much. We are so happy to finally experience 18 Seaboard and cant wait to go back. Thank you all of 18 Seaboard and especially the server. We will be back soon!
