   Pork chop was all fat, inedible. Service was sketchy, didn’t appear for chunks of time, no knife served with meat. Cocktail had no mint like requested

   Service was outstanding. Beautiful restaurant. We ordered arugula salads, pasta carbonara, she crab soup and dessert. No bread or roles available. Salads were excellent although surprisingly spicy due to the abundance of red peppers. She crab soup was watery, a little fishy, and no chunks of crabmeat only occasional flakes. No effort to enhance. It might as well been out of a can. This soup was just not good. Pasta carbonara was made with pork cheek meat instead of pancetta. Not a good choice. Way over cooked. Could not tell if made traditional way with egg yellows only. I think not. Cheese was lite and again not sure if they used the correct varieties. I think not. The desserts were very good but not great. Goat milk cheesecake with honey was very good for the first few bites but overpowered later with too much honey. Bottom line- service and ambience were excellent but some of the recipes and garnishes on some of the dishes need some work.

   My first time for brunch and it was wonderful. They accommodated my gluten allergy very well. If you are really hungry, order the chicken and waffles. My friend had that and it was huge! Lots of vegan options as well. The atmosphere and service were perfect.

   The shared plate tapas style food was amazing. We were able to order a number of items that came out individually and each item was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. Our server was also the only person staffing the bar and while he was very busy he was attentive to us and our food was brought out in perfect timing...and not rushed. We really enjoyed relaxing and the atmosphere was very friendly from the hostess to our waiter/bartender. We will absolutely be back. Go when you have time to relax and you are not worried about getting somewhere else and you should be really happy.

   We have lived in Wilmington for 3 years. The Dram Yard provided one of the best meals we have eaten here in Wilmington. You can't go wrong, from good wines and custom drinks to excellent food and service. We'll be back!

   We had the best experience Saturday night. The food, the service, and the ambiance was top notch. John, our waiter and bartender was personable and well-versed in craft cocktails. There were four of us in our party, and we tried 9 of the menu items shared tapas style. All were delicious with some unique flavor twists on the more typical items. We especially enjoyed the Brussels sprouts, the carbonara, and the duck confit. Thanks for a memorable evening!

   The vibes and ambience in here were amazing. Unfortunately the service was very slow as I know the team seemed to be understaffed that day. Totally understand that but took them about 15 minutes to take our order and over 30 minutes to get our coffees. We have kids and only get out by ourselves every so often so was just a little bummed at the experience. Would still come back for cocktails at a later date.

    Overall, the experience and food was amazing. Unfortunately, the end of the experience was taken away by a staff member who was visibly upset with handling our bill because we had to get out quick due to a show we were seeing. Our server suggested going to the bar area to settle because she was tied up. We were met by a staff member who was “inconvenienced” by me handling our bill with rolling eyes and continued disgruntlement about the task asked of her.
