We had a date night, made a reservation via Resy…added notes and they read them! We had the best seat for us, the soup flight was amazing, the bartender was engaged and recommended wonderful drinks. We had salads as our entree and they were divine. The specials were so tempting! Great draft list, great wine list…Go, go, go! #enjoy!

Pictures should speak for itself really. Buffalo wings and fries were pretty good with just the right amount of spice! Delia was the perfect waitstress as always! Please try the Courtney drink!!!! My absolute favorite!

Made a last minute reservation and could not say anything negative! Probably grabbed to last table so would definitely recommend a reservation, but totally worth it. We didn’t try a lot of their drinks, but the food was amazing. Would 100% suggest either the meatloaf(10/10) or the shrimp and grits or jambalaya. Our server(sorry I forget her name) was friendly and had great suggestions. Will definitely be visiting again!!!

2nd time here and the food and service has been consistently top-notch. Nice atmosphere with seating by a window or even at the bar. This is a go to spot for me when visiting Wilmington.

Went here for the first time with my friends a few months ago. It was a few days before Christmas. The atmosphere was very nice. It was a weekday maybe around 7pm and the bar was very packed. We ended up just getting a table. I got the pasta with the crabmeat and one of my friends had the meatloaf which I tried and it was very good. My pasta was okay but definitely would get the meatloaf next time.

We came here very hungry after a trip. I regret ordering only two menus. The food was so delicious, and it’s a restaurant I want to come back to when I visit Delaware next time. And the woman who served us was very kind.
