Great food and service. Our party had multiple small, medium, and large plates. All were excellent. Nice vibe...very much like the tables are not situated very close together. Will absolutely return!

The Wilbur Mansion is a really neat building. They did a great job of combing the old world with the new. I love that they kept the old wood work in the building, which is intricate and beautiful. The service was great. The food was delicious. Everything we had from the carrot soup and Italian pepper appetizer, to the lamb and rib eye entree, and the brownie and peanut butter explosion dessert were all tasty. We will definitely be back!
