I dined at Elijah's on Saturday before the dinner crowd and was astonished to find that my bill was more than I had accounted for on my debit card. I left a cash tip and an additional tip was added after I left.    [01 Sep 2003 18:11:56]

What a Dump
It sure seemed like a nice place as I waited patiently on a busy night. I thought any place this busy must be good. But no, once seated in their main dining room I was treated to the sight of waiters wrestling and cursing up a storm in their work area. That was just the beginning, the service was some of the worst I have ever had and the food was cold and over priced. When the manager came around asking how everything was, I could see him glaze over as I told him about my poor experience. His response was sorry to hear that and then he moved on to the next table. Unbelievable, this is the first review I have ever written and that should go a long way in conveying my feelings about this place.    [22 Oct 2003 13:34:00]

Very Poor Service, Snobby Staff
I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a pleasant dining experience. The food wasn't prepared properly, but more importantly the staff seemed like they were doing me a favor by serving me. I e-mailed the management and got no response.    [12 May 2004 14:34:29]

So far Elijahs is the best meal I have had since moving to Wilmington end of May. Service was excellent!!!! The food was out of this world. I can't wait to go back.    [19 Aug 2005 13:20:38]

AWESOME!!!
Elijah's is a place I HAVE to stop at each and EVERY time I go to Wilmington! I have never, ever been dissapointed by the service, staff, food, etc. I am shocked to read the negative reviews that were posted previously. I have only lived in the area for a year, so possibly they have changed management since then?

I also like to sit at one of the outside tables, the view is nice, it overlooks the Cape Fear River.    [30 Mar 2007 10:56:29]
