“TY for accommodating our party of 18 on a Saturday… Your fried calamari was so yummy, the flight of soup was a brilliant idea for someone who’s undecisive to be able to sample 3 different cups, my crab cake was so amazing - I’m drooling just thinking about the jumbo lumps of crab chunks!!! By the way hubby & I noticed the American Psycho decors right away as we’re huge fans of the book & movie. Last but def not least, the service was great even though there were 18 of us with some loud kiddos.”

“Duck leg and beignets were excellent. Flavor and textures were amazing. Strip steak was perfectly cooked. Radiatori was flavorful and brisket was so tender and perfectly executed. Beautiful experience start to finish. I'm from Virginia and was in town for a show. Would definitely try to find another reason to come back to DE just to dine here. Stellar service at the bar.”

“I was in the store with a service dog in training and one of the other customers clearly did not like his presence. When approached by this customer, your staff knew the rules (the dog is allowed) and handled the customer very professionally. They are to be commended! Thank you. I have been a puppy raiser for over 5 years and not all of these situations are handled as well. Your staff is clearly educated and good at managing people.”
“Great food and reasonable prices. The staff are all fantastic and the owner(I think he is the owner) often walks around checking in on diners. It isn't simply a meal it's a full experience”

“The bartenders there serve people that are obviously visibly drunk and falling off their stools! When I brought it up to the bartender, she said I misread the situation and it was none of my business! So, I went to the manager and she repeated pretty much the same statement like it was scripted because it continuously happens! I wonder if the owners are aware of these actions because honestly the bartender and manager should be fired for those kind of attitudes as it's illegal to serve visibly impaired patrons at a bar! Sad! 🤔😔 I actually have to add, it's a shame that the staff isn't the best, because the concept is great, the events are fun and our group which usually numbers 10 to 15 people enjoy hanging out there for the events and the food which is reasonable and pretty good! 💝😎👍”

“First time ordering from here tonight and we WILL BE BACK… like a lot. We live in pike creek and will make the drive. We got the red beans and rice, gumbo and tomato soup and we need to try the rest of the menu! My husband and I just got back from New Orleans and my husband was sad because he loved the food so I googled and found this place! The gumbo was literally better than we had down there 😍 SO GOOD. And everyone working when I picked up (one was the owners daughter) were so passionate about how they make everything from scratch and kept giving me samples of everything and telling me their story. It’s a WONDERFUL locally owned place that should be protected at all costs. Cannot recommend enough!”

Sushi • $$
“This place has been on my radar to try for a while and we finally decided to check it out. First off, the sushi here is incredible. Super fresh and colorful with amazing presentations. We tried the all-you-can-eat deal and some options off the regular menu too. For AYCE sushi, this was the best I've had in the area. AYCE isn't limited to sushi and there's a bunch of dishes you can try as well. For us, service was great. We went on a slow day for lunch and the entire experience was fantastic. I see there's some negative reviews about service, but that wasn't the case for us.
Here's what we had:
Crispy
Hot, perfectly crispy, flavorful, large portion. Would definitely order again.
Crab
Creamy and indulgent with the perfect crunch. For my taste, they were a bit on the sweet side but I'm sure others would love that.
Shrimp & Vegetable
Light, crispy batter with fresh ingredients. Cool presentation.
Tuna Tartare Tower: 10/5 (yes, it's that good)
This was hands-down the highlight of the night. Layers of fresh tuna, creamy avocado, and three types of tobiko. It's a visual masterpiece and a flavor bomb in every bite.
Godzilla Roll, Norwegian Salmon Sashimi, & Yellowtail Jalapeño
Fresh, vibrant, spicy, and expertly prepared. The yellowtail had just the right kick of heat from the jalapeño, and the Godzilla Roll is simply addictive. The wild-caught salmon from Norway exceeded expectations.
Sweetheart
Yes, it's a tuna avocado roll shaped like hearts. Perfect for sharing especially if you're here for a date night.
Hibachi Combo (Maine Lobster Tail, Shrimp, and Scallops): 5/5
Huge Maine lobster tail. The seafood was cooked to perfection. Worth the price!
Banana & Oreo
I enjoyed fried Oreos more than I thought I would!
Pro Tip:
Try the all-you-can-eat menu. It's one of the best deals around for the quality of the sashimi, specialty rolls, and kitchen dishes that you can get.
Update: We've gone back a few times and it's still fantastic. Basically addicted to the Godzilla Roll. We also started picking up sushi for takeout and it's THE BEST around. We get the lunch specials and they're much bigger portions than what you get some of the other local sushi places for the same price. Plus you get soup or salad too.”

“I tried the mozzarella as an appetizer and the Tenderloin for the meal. The mozzarella was very good. Between the peppers and topping that was a great was to start out. The Tenderloin was ok. The Gravy had a very good flavor but the meat itself i didn't think was that good. The mashed potatoes were nicely prepared and the asparagus was hot but still had a snap to them, which is just the way I like it. Add a nice bourbon to it all and it makes for a good meal. Cozy atmosphere to the place. Definitely worth checking out.”

“I'm on a road trip just passing through. I was looking for a seafood restaurant that was not a corporate chain.

My waitress was very friendly and professional.”

“Venimos desde Maryland, y cada vez que entramos a The Merengue House sentimos como si estuviéramos llegando a casa. No es solo un restaurante… es un pedazo de nuestra cultura, de nuestros sabores, de lo que extrañamos y no encontramos donde vivimos. El sushi aquí es algo que no habíamos probado en ningún otro lugar: fresco, creativo, lleno de alma y sabor verdadero. Cada roll es una obra de arte que nos sorprende más que el anterior. Y la comida española… simplemente imposible describir lo perfecta. Se siente el cariño, la tradición y la pasión en cada plato. Es ese tipo de comida que te abraza, que te hace recordar a la familia, a la isla, a lo nuestro. Por eso, desde el corazón, queremos decirles: Bel Air, Maryland NECESITA un Merengue House. Aquí no tenemos restaurantes hispanos de calidad, no tenemos un lugar que represente nuestra cultura así de bonito. Sería un sueño —y un regalo— tener uno cerca de casa. Gracias por darnos no solo buena comida, sino momentos, memorias y un sabor que nunca olvidamos. Cada visita vale el viaje. Con cariño, Una familia agradecida desde Maryland 💛🍣🇵🇦🇵🇷 —— We travel all the way from Maryland, and every time we walk into The Merengue House, it feels like coming home. This isn’t just a restaurant… it’s a piece of our culture, our memories, and the flavors we miss and can’t find where we live. The sushi here is something we’ve never experienced anywhere else — fresh, creative, and full of soul and true flavor. Every roll is a masterpiece that surprises us more than the last. And the Spanish food… it’s honestly beyond perfect. You can taste the love, the tradition, and the passion in every single dish. It’s the kind of food that wraps around you like a warm hug, reminding you of family, of home, of our roots. So from the bottom of our hearts, we want to say this: Bel Air, Maryland NEEDS a Merengue House. We don’t have quality Hispanic restaurants here. We don’t have a place that represents our culture in such a beautiful, authentic way. Having one near us would be a dream — and a true gift to the community. Thank you for giving us not just amazing food, but memories, comfort, and a flavor we’ll never forget. Every visit is worth the trip. With love, A grateful family from Maryland 💛🍣🇵🇷🇵🇦”

“We have been to all of the other Bardea offerings in the area so we were excited to try out Roost! We were not disappointed. Located on Market Street in Wilmington, Roost is an upscale pub and bar. The menu is typical pub food fare but with an upscale twist. We were seated immediately upon entering. Our server Ashley was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable. She Handled our food sensitivities easily, made great recommendations for both drinks and food, and could explain any dish in depth. The food was delectable! We had the deviled eggs which arrived in a nest made out of dough, a burger, a Reuben, and dessert. If you are a craft beer person they have an excellent draft menu. Overall it was a fantastic experience and we look forward to returning.”

“Kelly’s Logan House is hands down one of the best spots in Wilmington. The food is great, especially the wings — they’re honestly incredible, some of the best I’ve had anywhere. The rest of the menu is solid too, with plenty of good options beyond typical bar food.
What really makes it stand out is the late-night scene. Whether it’s live music, DJs, or just the energy of the crowd, it’s always a fun vibe without feeling overwhelming. It’s the perfect mix of lively and laid-back.
I also really appreciate that it feels safe. The staff do a good job of keeping things comfortable, and it’s the kind of place you can go with friends and just enjoy yourself without worry.
If you’re in Wilmington and looking for good food, great wings, and a fun night out, Kelly’s Logan House is a must.”

“I’ve been here a couple times, and have always had a great meal. I got a $15 Sunday special - half a jerk chicken, a roll, and two sides (collard greens w brisket and hush puppies)
Everything was fantastic. Their brisket and pulled pork is also great.
Highly recommend the place if you want some good jerk / bbq in Wilmington.”

“Order anything with the garlic bread and amp up your gastronomic experience to epic proportions. Lauren has that way of scanning the bar/restaurant for a refill, making sure everything is cool, or the check. It’s not loud so you can converse with friends-and new friends! Community vibe. Oh, and did I mention the garlic bread?”

“We visited last night. We were greeted right away. The service was so good. I had Shells Aurora. Simply amazing. Pasta and chicken was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend didn't see chicken marsala on the menu. only chicken parmesan.He asked and they made him the chicken marsala. So good too. We ordered wine. I had the Cabernet and he had the Pino Noir .Both wines were rich and savory. Very tasty. The floor manager even came up to make sure we were happy. That was very nice. we received the check and the server boxed up our food for us. The check really was not expensive. I paid and gave a 25% tip. I normally don't care either way with itailian resteraunts but this place was so nice. Rustic and warm atmosphere, pleasant staff, and amazing food. Will visit again for sure.”

“The bartenders there serve people that are obviously visibly drunk and falling off their stools! When I brought it up to the bartender, she said I misread the situation and it was none of my business! So, I went to the manager and she repeated pretty much the same statement like it was scripted because it continuously happens! I wonder if the owners are aware of these actions because honestly the bartender and manager should be fired for those kind of attitudes as it's illegal to serve visibly impaired patrons at a bar! Sad! 🤔😔 I actually have to add, it's a shame that the staff isn't the best, because the concept is great, the events are fun and our group which usually numbers 10 to 15 people enjoy hanging out there for the events and the food which is reasonable and pretty good! 💝😎👍”

However, they were very accommodating and we had the best server, Amanda, who made sure I was completely comfortable and taken care of. She was so kind, fast to answer my questions, and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend eating here during your stay and be sure to request Amanda ☺️”

“Walking into this Trolley Square gem feels like a warm embrace! From the moment we stepped inside, the welcoming presence of Jacquline, our host, guided us to a comfortable table tucked away in the back. Her genuine friendliness set the perfect tone. Shortly after, the delightful Katie became our server, her pleasant demeanor immediately putting us at ease and smoothly starting our culinary journey. The menu boasted a tempting array of options, and we eagerly chose the kale Caesar, cornbread, and brisket mac and cheese to begin. Oh my goodness – each starter was an absolute revelation! For our main courses, my wife savored the delicate lamb gnocchi, while I thoroughly enjoyed the perfectly cooked salmon. Neither dish disappointed; they were both executed flawlessly. A thoughtful touch was Katie finding me a delicious non-alcoholic beer, a real treat since I don't drink. To conclude our exceptional meal, we shared a lemon pound cake that was simply divine. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to this wonderful spot in Trolley Square. Everything, from the ambiance to the exquisite food and the extraordinary service, was truly on point.”

“Located in Lewes, DE. This place is so delicious with the most pleasant employees. Stop by and visit them, and if you live locally they are on door dash. I personally love their breakfast omelette, pulled chicken rice bowl and anything brisket. Oooo also try their “Omy Fingers”. It’s a must try.”

“We had a wonderful evening at this buffet. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly, and the service felt warm and thoughtful. As soon as my kids started eating, they couldn’t wait to play the claw machine. After catching one toy, they got so excited and kept trying to get another one — the owner was very kind and gave them a delightful surprise. The crabs tonight were also delicious. Thank you for giving us such a satisfying and enjoyable dinner experience.”

“My mom & I visited this establishment on 10/28/23 for lunch. We were warmly welcomed by the staff as we were brought to our table. Our server was a young gentleman who was pleasant & professional. We started off with the cream cheese wontons which were crispy and flavorful, the best I've had in a long time. Now to our entrees, my mom had the pad thai, she loved it and I had the General Tso's Chicken extra spicy, it was prepared expertly and absolutely delicious. Both came with soup, we had Hot & Sour, flavorful and nice spice. We both were happy with our experience. Will definitely return. Highly Recommended! Tell them Charlie sent ya!”

I then had the shrimp and grits for my entree and it was also good. The "holy" trinity sauce was quite flavorful. I'm so glad I ventured from my normal order, which had also always been yummy.”

“We just had a bridal shower there in May 2025. We picked Chelsea Tavern because it was in a central location for our 2 families to come together and celebrate. All I can say is that everything was fantastic! The service, the room, the attention to detail was perfect! The food was phenomenal! The portions were huge and tasted terrific! Madelyn was a wonderful hostess and Rob the best bartender and pancake bar chef! We couldn’t ask for a better day. Picking Chelsea Tavern was the best decision and the bride to be was so happy and said everything was exactly as she had imagined. Thank you to everyone involved, it was the most special day 🌸💗🌸”

“We arrived in Wilmington at 10PM after a cross-country flight and we were hungry. The late night dining options were limited. We decided to try TGI Friday's and it was good enough -- not excellent, but enough menu choices to satisfy both my wife's need for a healthy meal and our boys' goal of eating burgers. \n\nThe service was a little slow, but understandable -- we only saw 2 waitstaff and the place was still fairly busy. The people were nice, the food was prepared correctly, it definitely met our needs. And the price was reasonable.\n\nSo if you are hungry after 10PM in North Wilmington and you don't want to just grab something at Wa-Wa, this is a viable option.”

“We have been to all of the other Bardea offerings in the area so we were excited to try out Roost! We were not disappointed. Located on Market Street in Wilmington, Roost is an upscale pub and bar. The menu is typical pub food fare but with an upscale twist. We were seated immediately upon entering. Our server Ashley was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable. She Handled our food sensitivities easily, made great recommendations for both drinks and food, and could explain any dish in depth. The food was delectable! We had the deviled eggs which arrived in a nest made out of dough, a burger, a Reuben, and dessert. If you are a craft beer person they have an excellent draft menu. Overall it was a fantastic experience and we look forward to returning.”
