★★★★☆ 4.0 Kwelis Williams · Feb 2026

Great place to grab a brew or a drink and relax. Place is very spacious and staff was on point. Almost never was I waiting for something as this place was jammed packed. The band that played was amazing and the acoustics in the space works out great. I removed a star for my entree was pretty weak for the price. Mixed grill was very disappointing for $33. I have the picture attached. The other food and tuna poke was really fresh and good which I would order over and over again. The crab ravioli was really good and creamy well done. I'll be going back but avoiding the one dish mentioned earlier. The fries where additional and didn't come with the meal.

I'm on a road trip just passing through. I was looking for a seafood restaurant that was not a corporate chain. I saw a sign for the Reef Seafood and Steak restaurant in Wilmington, Delaware, and I went there. I had the calamari and the sea scallops. They were both delicious! I was so glad I stopped. My waitress was very friendly and professional.

We attended a family event at the Reef. As vegans, we were concerned that our dietary needs could not be accommodated at a steak and seafood place, but we were guests at the event with no hand in choosing the venue. My husband called ahead and was told they would try to accommodate us and to let the server know. The staff was absolutely wonderful in making sure we had something to eat and even checked on us several times to make sure we were doing well. The Reef went above and beyond in customer service. The food they prepared for us was perfect - thank you so much!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Leon Jackson · Dec 2025

I recently visited The Reef Seafood & Steak in Wilmington, DE for a date night, and my experience was a mix of strong service but underwhelming food and atmosphere. To start with the positives, the customer service was excellent. The staff was attentive, professional, and accommodating throughout the evening. Their willingness to prepare a chicken alfredo dish—despite it not being listed on the menu—showed flexibility and good hospitality. However, the food itself was only average. Most of the dishes tasted more like something I could have made at home rather than having the distinct, elevated flavor you expect from a restaurant that presents itself as upscale. The flounder was especially disappointing, lacking the quality and flavor I anticipated. While the shrimp alfredo was on the men
