“TY for accommodating our party of 18 on a Saturday… Your fried calamari was so yummy, the flight of soup was a brilliant idea for someone who’s undecisive to be able to sample 3 different cups, my crab cake was so amazing - I’m drooling just thinking about the jumbo lumps of crab chunks!!! By the way hubby & I noticed the American Psycho decors right away as we’re huge fans of the book & movie. Last but def not least, the service was great even though there were 18 of us with some loud kiddos.”

“Just made our first visit to Scalessa's. Been wanting to try it for a while and it didn't disappoint! Such a great little spot! The food was amazing, portions were large, prices were reasonable, and they even had vegetarian options (like eggplant "meatballs"). The service was also absolutely terrific. The entire staff was attentive and accommodating. They clearly take pride in their restaurant and care about the customer experience, which is definitely nowhere near a given in my experience dining out around here. We will definitely be back!Vegetarian options: Try the eggplant "meatballs"!”

Kaffeina Cafe 2301 Kentmere Pkwy, Wilmington Cafe • $$

“Delicious and beautiful food, charmingly presented with attention to detail. Fresh, but not trendy versions of classic afternoon tea fare, for example an open-faced Caprese sandwich with a thin layer of a lively red pepper jam. The food was delicate in appearance but added up to a hearty meal. Totally delightful, and I have often been disappointed with afternoon teas. I love them when they are done right, and this one was perfect. Can’t wait to go again!”

“Ok. So I've been reading the reviews about this amazing food truck located in the gas station parking lot of a BP. Sketchy part of town but it was on our way home today and we finally decided to give it a shot. It's in a smallish parking lot but we managed to squeeze in there nicely.Ordered one lamb over rice platter that we were planning on sharing since my better half is very finicky when it comes to food. Should have immediately gone back to pick up another because we attacked that platter like neither one of us had seen food before. All of these glowing reviews on here for this business? BELIEVE. THE. HYPE. The lamb was so succulent and spiced well that it melted in your mouth. The rice was spiced perfectly so that they complemented each other beautifully. There's a salad with that meal too and everything was super fresh and on point. The chef was very kind too!I've been to a number of restaurants over the years but I have to tell you that this might be the best place I've eaten at. Will we be returning? We've already decided that this is our new go to spot since we moved back to Wilmington. Check this place out for yourselves, you won't regret it.”

“A very cozy place for a Saturday night date. Surprised on how busy it was as it seems pretty quiet during the day so we did not know what to expect. Live music was great and added to the atmosphere. We tried the potato and leek soup which was nicely balanced with tidbits of potato to give it texture rather than a pureed approach. The scotch egg was nicely hot and nice that it allowed the protein to speak for itself without overpowering it with salt or grease. I enjoyed my toad in the hole and the Yorkshire pudding was nicely baked. The gravy with the mashed potatoes was absolutely brilliant. We want to come visit again when we have another date night.”

The staff are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere pleasant. We think it is important to support the local economy and Toscana's has served the local community successfully for many years.There is one point of constructive feedback that we would like to offer. As a take-out item, the gelato I believe is not served authentically. Toscana's appears to be serving gelato as if it is the same as ice cream. An ice cream scooper is being used instead of a specific gelato utensil. This impacts the serving amount and the way it is presented.”

801 Mckennans Church Rd, Wilmington

“The Pub at the Delcastle Inn at the Delcastle Golf Course is a favorite late evening spot to enjoy the sunset and nibble on some tasty food al fresco. They are open until 8 pm so it's just late enough to catch the beautiful views. The food is consistent and although it's a limited menu, everything we have tried has been really good. Sometimes they are out of things like celery or carrot sticks for the wings, or a menu item that sold out during the day. Their fries are fantastic! I would love to see more salads on the menu like a Waldorf Salad, Chicken Caesar salad, or even offer balsamic vinaigrette for some healthier options. Crudites with hummus and pita would be welcome too. Julinna has always given us the most friendly and helpful customer service with a smile. We'll definitely be back time and again.”

“Title: A Delightful Culinary Journey at Corner Bistro!Review:I recently had the pleasure of dining at Corner Bistro, and I must say it exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with a warm and inviting ambiance that set the stage for a truly remarkable dining experience. We were with two kids coming from soccer practice and did not know how nice the restaurant was, so we were under dressed.Let's start with the menu. Corner Bistro offers a diverse selection of dishes that cater to a variety of tastes and preferences. The menu is expertly crafted, featuring a fusion of flavors and innovative combinations that showcase the culinary prowess of the talented chefs.The food itself was simply outstanding. Each dish is prepared with great attention to detail, and it's evident that only the freshest and highest-quality ingredients are used. I had the pleasure of trying their half chicken served over mashed potatoes, fish tacos, and off the menu butter pasta prepared for my two children which they devoured.The service at Corner Bistro was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. They were more than happy to provide recommendations and answer any questions you may have about the menu. Throughout my meal, I felt well taken care of, and the staff's genuine passion for their work shone through.The atmosphere at Corner Bistro is another standout feature. The cozy and intimate setting creates a relaxed and enjoyable dining environment. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or having a casual dinner with friends, the restaurant's ambiance is perfectly suited for any occasion.Lastly, I must mention the attention to detail that Corner Bistro demonstrates. From the beautiful presentation of the dishes to the thoughtfully curated wine list, every aspect of the dining experience is carefully considered. It's evident that the team behind Corner Bistro is dedicated to providing their guests with an extraordinary culinary journey.In conclusion, Corner Bistro is a hidden gem that deserves recognition for its exceptional food, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere.

They have no food(other than snacks) available but allow outside food inside and outside. Dogs are also welcome! Just overall 20/10!!”

All I needed was one. My daughter, who's a light-weight, couldn't drink hers and gave it to Sis. All in all, really good time had by everyone.Dietary restrictions: The waitress outright asked if we had any food allergies. That's rare!! I'm allergic to shellfish & they went above and beyond to keep me safe. Thank you so much!”

“Great beer!! Cool building. Unfortunately, the bartender was blatantly cold, rude, and off-putting. Yikes! Made me feel super unwelcome, despite me trying to be very nice and smiley. I even attempted to strike up friendly conversation. I said “thank you” to him about a dozen times and never got a response.. at all. Zilch. Laughably rude. Notably, it was a very slow night, so it wasn't like he was busy.I drove 30 minutes to try this place while in town, and left feeling disappointed and self conscious. Wishing this very cool brewery the best. All they need is better bartending. It’s sad to see a bad-mood employee tarnishing the presentation of their hard work. Very tasty beer for sure!! ? 4 stars because the beer was a top notch!! Worth the trip over here even if the experience overall wasn’t good.”

“Taco grande is a really fun experience. We went the night before a big holiday. The decor, music, and atmosphere all come together to make this dining experience fun and enjoyable. On top of this, our waitress was extremely patient, kind, and helpful.A few cons, mainly our food and salsa were bland. We had do ask for salt to make it tasty. Once we did, everything was great! Maybe they just were trying to help out our cholesterol. Also, when we called to see if they would be open for the holiday, they said they would be closing soon and not to come. When we drove by to go to a nearby restaurant we decided to check and see if it was still open. To our surprise it was. This was disappointing and most likely on the host/hostess but very unprofessional.Would I come back? Not sure, but in the moment I had a great time.”
