    Went and had the tasting menu and left very disappointed. Expected a variety of options with some unique dishes but ended up with an overdose of tomato dishes along with a pretty disappointing dessert of banana pudding. A couple of slices of banana in a bland pudding. One of the dishes (pork belly) was so over cooked, tough, and crunchy. Read other reviews of the quality food despite the lackluster ambience but ended up getting the short end of stick on both. Oh well, lesson learned. Service was overall good but wish was more observant on the food being pretty lackluster. Also odd as the chef didn’t seem to be even cooking at any point. Seemed like everything must’ve been prepped and was just simply plating.

    The food and service were excellent. I typically don't go for prefix dinners because they are small portions. But my dinner partner and I were not left wanting after our meal. I will go there again.

    Outstanding food and service. Our first time there and it will not be the last. We were celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary. My husband chose two small plates as an entree, while I enjoyed the roasted beets to start, and the duck breast as my entree. We ate every bite. No room for dessert but we were surprised with the gift of a glass of sparkling wine to finish our meal with an anniversary toast. A gem of a place!

    No longer the new kid on the block but still the best restaurant in Wilmington if you are interested in great food and the ability to actually have a conversation with your date. The noise at the newer trendy spots makes every conversion full of “huh?” “What did you say?” and more.

    21 Spoons Typically love Ciro but they truly missed the boat on the 21 spoon Italian tasting. The first course was the best course which was the crudo course. Tuna, salmon and scallop which was bright and fresh but it went down hill from there. We tried to order a bottle of red wine but all 3 bottles we selected they did not have. They found a substitute and it was fine. No stemmed wine glasses all we stemless which makes you feel like a kindergartner drinking juice at lunch. The next 6 courses were tastes less, cold and greasy. The presentation on all “spoons” looked like the last bite from your takeout container of leftovers. The service was as if they found the wait staff that day. There were 6 of us for dinner and The wait staff was slapping plates down randomly and explaining what we were eating with each plate that was delivered. One of our guests had to leave early and we informed the wait staff that they left. While serving a course they placed a plate of food on the table where the person was no longer sitting before serving the other 5 of us. It truly was like “key stone cops” the bill for 6 of us with tip which we still Tipped 20% was $650.

    I am going to say that one sure fired way to tell if you had a good meal is whether you are still discussing (and have changed your mind) which part of a meal was the best the following morning. This was a top notch meal from start to finish, with great service too.

    Food was amazing! Staff were very attentive and friendly. The only area of improvement is cosmetic. The lights kept flickering and at one point was so strobe like that my eyes watered and head started to hurt. Could use a bit of cleaning with the light fixtures that lead over to Veritas as well. But 100% will go back again! It was a wonderful evening!

    Was surprised that the only option was the Valentines tasting menu. We were excited about the doing tasting menu like we often do but $99/ person versus the normal $69 was a bit steep. The portions for tasting seemed small this time and unfortunately we all left hungry, which had never happened before (this was our fourth time visiting). The opening squash soup with sage was bland and needed some salt and was not a good opening to the tasting. All the dishes were good- especially the lobster/scallop bowl. The serving of filet was way too small. Perhaps because it was so busy they limited the sizes. We’ll probably go back again but will avoid the Valentines Special.

    Food was horrible. Brussels were nice, which made me excited for my Mahi entrée. Presentation was lovely, so far so good. First taste startled me, as the puree under the fish was incredibly bitter and inedible. Fish was already dead, no idea why they killed it twice. Ordered the clam risotta to replace, which had me laughing at how somehow soupy ranch clam chowder ended up in front of me, with incredibly overcooked risotto. Everything was great from the service end of things, but the food was exceptionally awful. Just plain disappointing.

    We had the tasting menu at the chefs table in back and the 8 courses were fantastic - extremely creative. Service was impeccable. It's not going to be inexpensive but this is certainly in the class of some of the best restaurants we've eaten at all over the world. We also had brunch the next day at their other restaurant, Ciro Forty Acres and it was also excellent with great diversity and creativity in the menu. Highly recommend both.
