Aubriana's Fine DiningGreat food, service and atmosphere.The foie gras was perfect. The apple chutney was the perfect accompaniment to the it. The Lamb Chop "lollipops" were so tender and full of flavor my wife wanted to order more and skip her entree. But the Rainbow Trout made her glad she did not make that change. The duck confit has a great flavor profile - pureed wsweet potatoes, garlicky brussel sprount and two thigh and legs of duck. My wife's sister had the lump crab/lobster cakes and was blown away. Her first time eating either Blue Crab or cold water lobster and she was impressed. Desserts were great and change daily/weekly.
Relax outside with a great bottle of wine and an amazing meal. We will be back.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMVery delicious and local foodThe food was very good to excellent. The shrimp & crab corn chowder was the best I've ever had, & the spinach salad was perfect. The food is mostly obtained locally & of very high quality. I thought the roasted chicken was delicious. The side mac 'n cheese with cauliflower was a miss - rather bland. Good wine list. Very small beer selection. Our server was excellent. We sat inside. The noise level (loud music) would be a problem for more than 2 people trying to converse. I think the restaurant could lower the volume without losing whatever background effect they're trying to create. The outdoor patio would be nice to try if the weather and bugs aren't a problem.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMmother's day brunchI want to tell you about my best Mother's Day Bruch ever!! The items on the menu were so delicious!!! My only complaint is that they only have brunch on Mother's and Father's day. WE LOVE AUBRIANNAS.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMPricey but goodI still can't get over $26 chicken no matter who raised it but that's another story. Surprised that both smoking and dogs were allowed on patio dining; that definately took away from the entire experience. Their shrimp & grits special was as good as it gets. Very good service; Morgan was a sweetheart. $20 corkage fee was about right.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AM"Nice ambiance and good food"Hank was our waiter and is an asset to this establishment ; the service was excellent. Our party of four ordered steaks and chops and were served perfectly done, no complaints. The restaurant is airy and ecclectic and I will definitely return again.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AManniversary dinnerWe had reviewed the menu ahead of going to Aubriana's...and expected a very nice dinner. However, the experience exceeded our expectations. Our service was excellent...and the food was creative and well executed. We travel and eat out a lot...and are not often as impressed as we were with this experience. We chose to eat outside, and were fortunate to have great weather to enjoy. The outdoor tables and chairs are casual (the interior of the restaurant is more upscale), but the food was anything but casual.5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMPromMy prom date and I attended with another couple and we had the best food we've ever tasted! The service was great and the food was put of this world. Will definitely be going back for any special occasion! My new favorite restaurant!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGreatThe food was excellent. With a group of 4 we all had different appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Sampled them all and everything was excellent. The Lamp lollipops and the filet were exceptional. The chicken and the short ribs were great as well. All of the desserts were unique, tasted great and had a great presentation.
The service was not bad but a little lacking that is the only reason I did not rate this experience 5 stars.
Will deffinately go to Aubriana's again!!!5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMNice ambiance, good selectionNice ambiance, good selection of entrees, excellent service, pleasant experiance.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMVery NiceGreat place to have a nice dinner in downtown Wilmington. Fantastic old building. Great service. Decent wine selection. It is a little pricy. If you go whole hog (appetizer, salad, entree, bottle of wine and dessert) then prepare for a ~$200 bill at the end (3 - 4 people).
Yelp has this place listed as casual attire which was surprising to me. I would classify this place as hipster casual. Blue jeans with a jacket kind of place. Dress up if you want. Show up in shorts if you must.
If you are use to high end steak houses then I would recommend getting something else. The filet mignon was cook perfectly but was very small. For $30 bucks I would have expected it to be larger and more seasoned. Still, I would highly recommen4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing Lamb cutlets. On theAmazing Lamb cutlets. On the menus as Lamb Lollypops. A must for anyone eating there!4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a fine experience atAlways a fine experience at Aubriana's.

We had the salmon cakes and the flank steak and both were delicious. We were there on a very busy night and the service was excellent.
