Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Wilmington

Bardea Steak surpassed all of our expectations! Every single dish was outstanding. The pork tostada and the elk meatballs as starters were the perfect portion and full of flavor. We did the Butcher Steak to try 6 different steaks. Best steak we’ve ever had and every cut was different but delicious! Service from the bartenders, to server Jason, to food runners as exceptional. Can’t wait to come back!

Server was attentive, but not overly. Seafoods, salads, and sides were perfectly cooked. Even though the place was crowded, we never felt rushed and the place remained quiet. What more could you ask for?

Service solid, kind, and quick! Loved that. Also enjoyed the tacos, vodka penne, and thank you for keeping the black bean burger. It’s so flavorful. However, although the food is generally solid, the choices of veggie sides now just being incredible bitter broccolini or spinach just isn’t great. Im a huge veggie lover, but I left the whole side of broccolini on the plate. Broccoli alone or bringing back the roasted veggies would be a welcome add. Also, the kids Mac and cheese being elevated from Kraft would be appropriate. Or at least make that a side kids can order. Most restaurants make their own in house and it’s appreciated/noticed.

A fun and festive way to spend Christmas Eve. The food and cocktails were delicious and our server was awesome!

This is a spot that I've been covering a visit to fire a long time and it didn't disappoint. The cocktails had a nice punch but didn't bowl you over with the distinct burn. The seafood tower was fresh and paired with the most amazing sauces. The steaks were so tender, I barely needed a knife and cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes were so light but flavorful. Then the creme brulèe was prepared with such thought that every bite was crisp and accompanied with a silky cream. Paired with the latte, this was a prefect meal in a beautifully curated atmosphere with the most charismatic and timely service provided by our server, Teddy. This is the perfect venue for a date night or big event, don't miss out on Tonic!
