    Great place. On every level. The table was ready on arrival. MOD and host were efficient with friendly professionalism. Our server, Erin, was top-notch. We're sober, so the fact that she took the time to point out the two non-alcoholic mocktails was uniquly appreciated. Our food was superb. Nicely presented, perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The key lime pie was creatively delightful. The FOH manager is on top of her game. Nice work! When in Wilmington again, this will be a must visit!

    The food was disappointing as it was nothing special. We each ordered different meals, including arugula and steak, a mushroom burger, asparagus salad, and wings. Nothing was outstanding, and I do not see a reason to return. The service was excellent. The automatic 3% Kitchen appreciation fee was not appreciated.

    L’addition prices were higher than those listed on the menu from which we ordered, and we weren’t informed of the difference before placing our orders. Also, a kitchen appreciation fee (tip?) was added to the bill; and, again, we were not informed of this in advance. We decided that was a management issue/problem. The food from start to finish was excellent—we had the crispy Brussels sprouts with peanuts and fresh shaved ginger, the five fresh herb and tomato salad dressed in a light vinaigrette (ume vinegar, maybe?) and the tender, buttery filet mignon cooked perfectly with Béarnaise sauce. The mushrooms were nothing memorable. They were not bad—just not exceptional. The service provider, self-admittedly new, was amicable and very efficient. Their timing was exact, as was the ability to deftly, intuitively know when not to interrupt our conversation at the table.

    Food is always fantastic, but we usually eat outside. This time due to rain we had to sit inside and it was quite loud. Otherwise highly recommend. I really wish they would put their bao buns back on the menu!!

    Took my dad here for his birthday, and he said it was the best steak he’s ever had! My wife and I love the ambiance—it’s cozy, inviting, and the food is always top-notch. The crisp on the steaks is absolutely amazing, and the peanut Brussels are one of our favorites. Our server, Erin, was genuinely kind and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. We’ll definitely be asking for her next time! I order crème brûlée everywhere I go, and the one here truly knocks it out of the park.
