Taken simple entrees and made the presentation fit the price. Extremely noisy with no noise dampening in a converted fire station - not a place to go for conversation! The appetizers were all outstanding and the wine selection was top notch. This would be a place to go for special occasions due to the price but the noise could be... More

Service and food are very good. My personal feeling is that the dishes are too complex and mask the main ingredient (s). A great piece of fish(which they have) does not need heavy sauce or a taco shell to enhance it. Great apps. Atmosphere is modern and sparse. Expensive

This is one of Greensboro's better restaurants, and they know how to cook seafood properly. It is not an inexpensive restaurant, but if you want quality, sometimes expense is not a consideration. We like it--a lot.

It is open and loud but not intrusive - nothing that ceiling panels wouldn't fix. On the other hand the seafood is really really good. Three of us went on a Monday and stuck to seafood; sea bass, grouper, and crab cake, with tempura scallops and buttermilk oysters as apps. All were superb with interesting accompaniments. Not a complaint on... More

For the past several years, 1618 W Seafood has been consistently excellent and our go to place for great food and good service. We have always come here expecting and receiving an exceptional meal, and therefore overlooked the sterile, loud dining room and high prices. The food was worth it. Recently, though, food quality has slipped and favorite dishes have... More

By far these dishes are some of the most creative I've had. I was a little surprised at the menu, and was a little uneasy about my final selection due to the seemingly odd descriptions, but I was pleased beyond compare. My wife and I probably shared equal parts of each other's dishes because they both were so amazing. We... More

Decent food, good service, good wine and beer list. But incredibly loud. And on a Tuesday night. So if you're looking for a quiet place to share a leisurely dinner with friends, look elsewhere.

Recently, on a friends recommendation, enjoyed one of the very best dinners...ever! I'm telling you, this 1618 Seafood Restaurant is "absolutely" the finest dinning around for fresh seafood! The sushi grade tuna is so tastey and prepared to perfection! And, to compare their fried oysters to any other fine dining restaurant, well, you can't! Our entrees were so delicious. Plus,... More

Found this restaurant online - made a reservation. This is fine dinning but not so dressy - great for me. Food was great - tuna was fantastic. Waitress suggested a bottle of wine that was great and very reasonable. If you are in town for a few nights, look this place up.
