Delaware has a long coastline – so it’s no surprise that our state has a lot of waterfront restaurants! One of the most timeless restaurants, the legendary Harry’s Seafood Grill, recently changed names to reflect a new owner (and longtime chef). No matter what you may call it, there’s no question that Banks’ Seafood Kitchen is one of the best places for a gourmet waterfront meal in Delaware.

In 2018, Harry's Seafood Grill changed names to become Banks' Seafood Kitchen, ensuring one of the top spots for surf n turf in Delaware will remain right here on the Wilmington Riverfront.

Though some may have a hard time getting used to the name, it's worth noting that David Banks has been head chef of Harry’s Savoy Ballroom, Harry’s Seafood Grill and Kid Shelleen’s for more than 30 years. Now that he owns the Seafood restaurant outright, he gave it a name that's been a long time coming.
The bright and airy interior of the restaurant was refreshed when the name changed, and somehow, it seems like more natural light than ever comes streaming into the dining room.
