Fabulous food from start to finish!! All enjoyed and shared these amazing flavors! The atmosphere is very unique with the open wall fresh air, lovely surroundings and elegant table settings. Even a trip to the chic restrooms are definitely in order.

One of the best dining experiences ever. The staff was absolutely fantastic. We showed up later in the evening without a reservation and they were able to get us a seat. They shared information about the menu and gave us suggestions. We started off with some fantastic little dinner rolls that had sesame seeds on the top. They tasted almost like a big soft pretzel. We had a couple different kind of oysters on the half shell which were excellent! I had the tuna au poivre and it was fantastic. in our group another had the fillet with peppercorn sauce and someone else had poached fish. we got some sides to split, including and Pom purée. The drinks were terrific and we finished up with some dessert, bread, pudding. None of it could’ve been any better.

The food was fantastic and our server was even better. Daisy was amazing and recommended several dishes that hit the spot. Highly recommend their take on an Old Fashion, that's marinated in a small wood barrel for several weeks. Best I've ever had. Ash has done it again, with another fantastic spot! We will definitely be back!

First time coming here and it was amazing. I got the beef short-rib and it was so tender and flavorful. Along with me and my friends splitting the desserts….10/10. Banana bread pudding was the star of the show, if you come get this you won’t be disappointed. This is now a regular spot for me, if you want a comforting, affordable dinner spot this is it.

The food was wonderful but the service was absolutely terrible. Our drinks were taken with zero offer of a refill halfway through our meal. We sat with empty plates for 15 minutes as we watched our server reset all the tables around us with zero acknowledgement. We ordered desserts and our server literally tossed our silverware in front of us then walked away without a word. After receiving dessert my partner went to the bathroom and even though we both had plates full of food the server came dropped off the check and asked if my partner needed a box while I had food in my mouth and when I nodded he walked away not asking if I’d need a box for any of my food. The server then came back and threw the Box on the table without saying a single word to me and walked away (this all happened before my partner had even come back to the table). I came in for a special celebration and left feeling terrible, I have never been served in such a blatantly rude way. We had zero ticket modifications, ordered expensive meals, were polite, and did not overstay our welcome. The service was so poor that although enjoying the food I don’t think I ever want to go back.

I ordered the dumplings, they were a little over sauced but still pretty good for dumplings. I also ordered the Scallops and they were off the chain (absolutely perfect)! The octopus was really good, the best I've ever tasted. Steak is steak but the NY strip was flavored and cooked to perfection as well. Too bad you can't get the Asparagus as a side so I settled for a Caesar salad but the steak came with the asparagus and it was served deliciously! The waitress was very well trained on each dish and the service was premier! The setting was very relaxing and they were packed. Everything flowed smoothly. Lol, I'm not a piggy. 4 of us shared all plates. Five star across the board. I'll be back!

This Restaurant is by far the best I've eaten at the 8 years I've lived in Wilmington. The filet with the red wine sauce was out of this world. Then, the dessert 🍨 butterscotch bread pudding with ice cream made me feel like I had died and woke up in heaven. If you haven't tried this place, save your pennies and go treat yourself. Make your reservation and thank me later.

Upscale casual vibe. Super cool display kitchen, beautifully crafted bar with cosmopolitan interior touches. Educated and friendly staff. The food is excellent. Highlight was the Charred Golden Beets; Saffron Mussels were worth a one-time visit. Three entrées were the 5oz filet, all cooked perfectly. I had the Pappardelle Bolognese, hearty with just a small hint of nutmeg. I felt there could be a slightly better selection of glass wine - it's a very nice and varied selection by the bottle, though. Nice portions on the deserts; absolutely shareable. Great job folks.
