"The Cape Fear seafood company provides a relaxed and casual environment to enjoy some local seafood. The reservation system online is easy to use and navigate. I called later in the day to change my reservation to see if they had anything earlier and they were able to accommodate me. The restaurant is nicely decorated with some local art and is kept very clean and orderly. The food was good however, given the price point it could?ve been a little bit better regarding some of the items. My meal was the broiled seafood platter. The mussels would have been better served with a sauce or a cream over them to maintain their moisture. By the end of the meal, the mussels that I had not eaten had turned into the consistency of a pencil eraser as they dried out. The shrimp and scallops while cooked perfectly, were somewhat oversalted/seasoned. The white fish on the broiled platter was honestly the best fish I have ever had anywhere, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The risotto while flavorful, was slightly overcooked. The asparagus was well undercooked for my liking. However, my wife felt the asparagus with her meal was appropriately cooked. I tasted her asparagus and compared and they were cooked to different levels. My wife ordered the Blackened Salmon. She and I both agreed that the Salmon was appropriately seasoned and was cooked to order. She experienced the same issue that I did with the risotto being slightly overcooked. We ordered an appetizer of fried okra which was exceptionally good. The fried okra appears to be handmade on-site and is cooked to perfection. Overall, it was a nice meal and I recommend this restaurant."
