We were visiting the Wilmington area and decided to dine at The House of William and Merry because we heard that the chef had been a semifinalist for a James Beard award. We thought that the food was so good, that the chef should have won the award. The service was also excellent. The restaurant has a lively vibe.

Just had a great time taking my parents out to eat at House of William and Merry. The service was warm and welcoming from the time we came in to walking out the door, and the food was amazing. We had the duck leg and mushroom bisque apps. The venison entree was cooked perfectly and not gamey at all. The beefsteak and roasted tilefish were also delicious. Great time all around
