   Our server was very friendly but my order was incorrect. The crispy Prosciutto toast was not crispy after having to be remade as I asked that there be no egg added but it came to the table the first time with egg. Entrees arrived quite staggered which meant we didn't all finish together and as some had eggs we insisted that they begin as soon as they arrived. The place is very cute but incredibly loud and 5 of us were placed in a booth better suited to 4.

   The ambience outside is very nice, with the bar, firepits and courtyard. Pleasant and attentive staff inside, who checked on us often. Unique menu, and the food was good.

   Dram fell short on food and service. When it came to place our order, we were told an item was out. No problem, we’ll have someone else place an order while the other person thinks of another dish to order. When she decided what she wanted, she was told there was only 1 order of that item left. I decided to let her have my order, which was that last item, and went ahead and ordered something else. The sever comes back later and informs me they are out of the dish that I had ordered. That’s 3 items we just went through that’s out. I just chose the wrap and that’s that. We got our drinks and my friend and I had ordered the tiki latte but she specifically asked for iced. When we received the drinks, both lattes came iced. I informed the server that I did not order iced and she told me that’s how it comes. If that was the case, the menu would have said Iced Tiki Latte and the description would have also mentioned it. Decor is nice, but that’s about it. TLDR - Here’s the reason why they fell short: - obviously no communication going on. If they’re out of items, the kitchen staff should communicate with FOH. This should also be mentioned when either being seated or when handed menus - the servers tone when saying the latte comes iced when the menu clearly doesn’t reflect that - the manager should have came by to apologize with the miscommunication about what they don’t have available. For the server to say no twice and then have to come back to tell us the third choice was not available looks bad and disorganized - the server did not check in when we received our food - the food was all under salted and under seasoned. The house hot sauce is not spicy at all but it helps bringing some flavor. Also there’s no salt and pepper on the table. And yes, we did end up adding salt to all of our savory dishes Based upon these reasons, we most likely won’t visit this place again.

   Waygu steak tartare was amazing! Chicken and dumplings is not traditional, it’s a brothy soup, but it was still delicious. Cocktails were the only disappointing part of our meal.

    This was our first time dining at Dram Yard and it was outstanding. The fish dip appetizer was like we’ve never had before. Our shrimp and grits and duck were filled with layers of flavor and texture too. Perfect crispy skin on the duck. Our waitress, Virginia, was incredibly kind, attentive, and helped us narrow down our cocktail choices. Those were also really great. Beautiful building. By far one of the best values in Wilmington for elevated dining as well. Will be back.
