Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Wilmington

This was our second visit to the new location, across the street from the original one in the hotel. The ambiance is so much nicer. Everyone working there was wonderful, from the hostesses, to waitstaff, and management just checking to be sure we were well taken care of. Our waitress, Shelly, was helpful, thoughtful, and attentive. Our food was excellent. We ordered off the pre fixed menu. It’s the first time I chose not to get a beef entree (the petite filet is my usual choice). I must say, the pork chop was tender, delicious, and enormous! We will definitely be returning!

This meal was without a doubt one of the best meals I've ever had. Food quality was impeccable and the waiter was stellar. Wish there was a dress code and better décor, but other than that it was an amazing meal. Would go back and recommend.

We sat outside on the lower (uncovered) deck (it was cold, but they had heaters going for us.) The food was prompt, service was excellent. My husband got the salmon and said it tasted a little fishy which he had never had in salmon before, but he ate it all (yes we know he ordered fish, but salmon doesn't typically have that taste). He also had a Caesar salad, which he said was one of the best he has had in a while. I had the filet mignon, and it was cooked perfectly to my temp preference. I also had a side of mac-n-cheese, which I didn't care for much, but that is just a personal taste preference. Overall, we had a nice time. Next time we will make reservations for Valentines a little earlier so we can sit inside!! Haha.

Valentine dinner was perfect. Had special Cajun Mahi Mahi, side Caesar Salad, wife had also side Caesar salad and Crab Cakes. All dishes delicious and attentive service.

It was not our first visit and it won’t be our last. I absolutely love the charm and ambiance in this restaurant but the food and service would keep us coming back no matter what the place looked like. I had the goat cheese salad and my husband has the butternut squash soup - a special the day we visited. Both tasted so delicious and the portions were very nice. For dinner I had the afternoon - a speciality of the restaurant. The broth is creamy but light - I know it sounds odd - but it is not a heavy broth. It is rich and the perfect medium for the delicious seafood which was all cooked perfectly. Scallops, shrimp, salmon, white fish (sorry have no idea what it was but delicious! and mussels. My husband had the beef Bourgogne which he loved and mopped up every ounce of sauce with the crispy French bread. We were so full but made room to share the pistachio crème brûlée. A thin layer of crispy caramelized sugar covered a creamy a custard. However I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the service. Our server was both attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and wines - the food arrived timely and temperate which rounded out the wonderful experience.
