Deep Blue Closes for Renovations

Deep Blue Bar and Grill, a longtime Wilmington restaurant, is closed for extensive renovations and will re-open in December in time for the holidays, according to a recent Facebook post. Dan Butler, chef/owner of the seafood restaurant that opened in 1998, said through a spokeswoman he isn’t ready to discuss the details yet, but it’s been reported that there will be a name change and a new concept featuring a steakhouse atmosphere. Whatever the final result, “it’s gonna be fabulous,” the Facebook page promises.
