We felt from the minute, we entered that we were rushed. I had liquid on my seat before I arrived, my knife was dirty and had gunk on it.

Food and ambiance were incredible! We had several of the items from the brunch menu and our favorites were the tuna tartare tostada, the duck fat donuts, and the French toast. Coffees were exceptional as well! Can’t wait to return for dinner.

I am unsure how else to describe my experience: Dram Yard provided us one of the best meals I have ever had in my life. Now I must figure out a way to get back there. Maybe I’ll quit my job and work there so I can get closer to their food on a daily basis. Maybe if I wear good shoes I can run back there and grab some food and eat it as I run away. How fast is their chef? I’ll keep brainstorming ideas. But I am going back.

I had the most wonderful experience at Dram Yard at ARRIVE. Our server was absolutely delightful, with the sweetest southern accent. She made thoughtful suggestions based on our dietary needs and even brought out a special dessert for my birthday, which was a lovely surprise. The atmosphere of the restaurant is thoughtfully curated and beautifully decorated, creating a charming setting. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning if in Wilmington. A fantastic experience overall!

Ambiance, deliciousness, and amazing staff. The smash burger, the biscuits and gravy, and especially The Bear omelette taste outstanding. Beware the European style bottled water on the table...it ain't complementary. Seriously attentive staff, and over the tastebud rainbow dishes. Don't miss this gem of a restaurant.

Food was incredible, service was amazing. We loved everything we had: Brussel sprouts, tuna tostada, wagyu steak, chicken and dumplings. Best meal I’ve had in a restaurant in Wilmington!
