My husband and made reservations for what we thought was a brunch buffet. The website is outdated and they don’t currently offer a buffet. We had lunch off the menu. We adored the risotto ball appetizer. My chicken salad sandwich was delicious and my husband enjoyed the burger he had. I was not fond of the coleslaw side, but that’s more because I don’t enjoy vinegar dressing than any actual issue. Overall a very nice meal.

The Rail has been one of our reliable "go-to" restaurants for close to "fine-dining" experience in the Christiana area, often for business meals and out of town guests. This week, The Rail fell way short of expectations. The menus were cheaply printed on poor quality paper and "well used." The food choices were very limited, only a handful of meal entrees, and the prices were cut off the edge of the menu! Service was slow slow slow, despite there being only a few tables; in fact, a table of 6 got up and left before ordering or being served, I think they gave up. I really hope The Rail gets back its mojo.... used to be great, not so much right now

When we arrived, we were told they were short staffed and we would have wait. However, the service was great and the wait short. Our server was cheerful and attentive even though she had the entire dining room to serve. She took our orders, served our food and kept our drinks filled without asking. It was 1/2 price burger day and the burgers were delicious. Highly recommend lunch at the Rail.

The food was horrible…. The salad was a bowl of lettuce, nothing else. The scrambled eggs were hard, not at all fluffy, the French toast casserole tasted and looked like it was made with breadcrumbs, the oysters on the half shell were opened way to early, not plump at all and were not disconnected from the shell. If you’re going to have Prime Rib, carve it to order not sliced in a chaffing dish with a thick gravy on it….The platter of smoked salmon had no accompaniments, just salmon. The desserts that should have been served cold (cheesecake etc, were very warm. It was a waste of money. The waitress and the manager, Matt were very nice.

My crab cake dinner was wonderful. We had hoped to have larger variety of seafood dishes on a Friday during the Lenten season.

3 out of 4 meals had issues. Ceasar salad wasnt a Ceasar salad Chicken Parmeasean chicken breasr was gristle hard rolls had to be requested. Had to wait for refills. Clearly server didnt know menu, inadequately oriented inexperienced. Manager failed to train properly and provide adequate oversight. In future we wont do dinner but we will sit at bar and have burger at best.

I went to dinner on Valentines day with my newborn son at The Rail. His father is the chef there so it worked out good. We still was able to somewhat spend valentines day together as a family. Food was delicious! Atmosphere was nice the Valentine's Day decorations were beautiful. My waitress was awesome as well. They even had pictures that you could get taken when you walk in the front door. It was an awesome night and a great way to spend my first Valentine's Day with my first son.

We’ve been here before and it was fabulous. This time, it was everything we expected, but the food was very sub-par. Not nearly as good as the first time.

The Sunday Brunch is very good at The Rail. The selections are plentiful and very tasty. The French Toast casserole is always wonderful. We did miss the melodious sounds of the pianist which added a certain sense of elegance.
