''Elijah's is not all it's cracked up to be. The food is okay, the service is sporadic (depending on ''mood'' of the hostess' and waitresses-abysmal!), and it is way overpriced. The only great thing is the location, but you can find better food at other waterfront restaurants in the area. Go somewhere else!...''

''By dar, the most difficult 3- night stay I have ever had in a hotel. Yes- the view and location are great, but they were simply not enough to compensate for the inconvenience of my stay. My room was dirty (dust, not vacuumed, dirty floor) until I had to call on the second day to have it cleaned or changed! While they did, that is not something anyone should expericence. The TV channels were mostly info-mercials. And while there is much to do out of your room, a good comercial-free movie to unwin...''

''My son and his new wife spent their pre-honeymoon here and in their haste to reach their Honeymoon destination, left a very nice monetary gift behind. The staff picked it up and packed it away in their safe. They called immediately to tell us that it had been found. Extraordinary service! Extraordinary place!...''

''My husband and i were married five years ago and we used Danny's for our wedding cake. It was an incredible value and tasted wonderful. We brought it back for our anniversary and Danny re-frosted it with ''Happy Anniversary''. I was told by friends to buy another cake since a year old cake in the freezer wouldn't taste that great, but it was as good as i remembered from a year ago!...''

''I walked into Fountaine Bridals, and had such a great time, not only because they offer everything from gowns, to mother-of-the-bride, to pretty much your whole party, but the staff was soooo nice and helpful. I didnt feel rushed or felt persueded to buy anything. They just let me look and htey didnt bother me until I asked for their help! It was nice not to have a staff breath down your neck until you felt guilty to try something on! I loved those 2 women are wonderful!- Thanks for letting me b...''

''I took a carriage ride with my 2 year old son the other month. We had a blast. I really enjoyed learning more about the history of my hometown and he loved checking out all the houses. I highly recommend taking a ride at least once. It was calming, relaxing, and very informative....''

''The courtyard by marriott was located perfectly , made my stay even more enjoyable. Very clean and private and somewhat reasonable. Would stay there again the next time i return to the area, as well as recommend it to friends and family. More than enough restaurants and shopping in the emediate area....''

''Wilson's Friday/Saturday night prime and seafood buffet was great -- for the price it can't be beat! The crab was perfect and the selection was wonderful. Our only regret is that we didn't find it earlier. Our server (a local marine biology and ecology student) was very polite and kept the sweet tea coming. Also,the raspberry cobbler was out of this world! Will visit again next time we are here for sure!...''

''one of Wilmington anchors places...''
