“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.”
“My wife and I go every couple of months. We love it. It is food you won't (or can't) make at home. It can get a little expensive with drinks but if you like interesting, well made food with really good service, (Natasha rules) GO! 10 out of 10, it's that good.”
“Stopped by here for dinner and was blown away by how tasty the gnocchi, spinach, and crab were. Good portion size, flavor was on point, and everything here looked delicious. Definitely coming back to try more food soon!”
“The Quoin is a whole vibe. I loved it. They have a rooftop lounge, an exceptional restaurant, and a speakeasy in the basement. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. My only complaint is how small the portion sizes were. I wish they gave you a little bit more. This place is a definite recommendation from me.”
“Torbert St. has always been a great place to start your evening out in downtown wilmington, now start off your weekend with Saturday brunch. Great selection of brunch entrees and creative cocktails.”

Restaurants with Delivery
“This was our second visit to Snuff Mill and the food and service is consistently top notch. Shannon provided excellent attentive service and the burrata, Nashville chicken sandwich and Mill salad were delicious and well plated. The manager Kaylee stopped by and we spoke with her for about 10 minutes. She shared upcoming events like the wine pairing dinner and opera dinner. We loved that she was an “active” manager who engages with the patrons and talks with pride about the staff and how they strive for an exceptional experience. Keep up the good work Snuff Mill!!”

“Today marked my initial venture into trying vegan cuisine, and I was immensely impressed by the exceptional quality of the food. The service provided was remarkable; the staff exhibited a friendly demeanor and provided valuable assistance in selecting an appropriate dish. The menu offered a diverse array of excellent options. Notably, I had the opportunity to customize my order by substituting the Impossible Burger for a mushroom burger, which proved to be delicious. Additionally, the accompanying plantain fries were delightful. Overall, my dining experience was truly enjoyable, and I eagerly anticipate returning in the near future. This establishment has undoubtedly become my preferred dining spot..”

“Super cute and chic coffee shop! The coffee is great quality and they have many options. They also serve pastries, food items and different types of art. The owners were onsite, super hospitable, and attentive. The decor made you feel at home and they proudly display artwork from various artists on the walls. It’s really nice inside. I connected to the WiFi and got some work done as I enjoyed my latte and sandwich. The space is small but there isn’t a shortage of seating and there is still enough personal space to feel comfortable. I will definitely return.”

“Very friendly staff. Food was good. They need gluten free bread.”
“If you're looking for a good diner right off 95 this is the place. Good food, very clean. Service is okay, but hands down considerably better than at the Route 3 Diner. Also, management is very concerned with making sure you have a good experience. If you haven't tried it yet, you won't be sorry if you give it a go.”
“Good owner. Just wished they can get rid of some of the panhandling and loitering. But what you expect it's the city. One of the best corner stores in the city. They just don't have a deli.”

There was only one person working the front on a Saturday evening so it was a little slow for walk up service. Portion size was decent as was the price. We got some gyozas for an appetizer that were better than expected as were the fruit teas we ordered. Will be going back again.”

“Burger King is a dying chain. But my dear friend wanted a whopper so we found one close to us. Even though I went through the drive-through, the inside looked sad and depressing - empty and dim. As most fast food has become - Burger King as pricey now too. But the whopper taste the same. Everything taste the same so no complaints on the food. Fries we’re not hot.”

Cheap Eats
“Absolute PASTRY PERFECTION! I always judge a bakery by their pastry dough and hell bells is the absolute best! Their hand pies and kouign-aman are some of the best I’ve ever had. One was cherry and one was blueberries with almond paste. I hate to admit it but they were so incredible I ate both in one sitting and I’m actually thinking about driving back there tomorrow for more! On the way to the gym of course!”
“Very nice people with nice sized wings and tenders. The Thai food was very good too and authentic (I have extensive time in Thailand) as they are actually Thai people. They are very kind and offered sauce choices and made the food exactly as I wanted. I do not live in Delaware, but I will go when I go again to the VA hospital which is across the street. A solid 5 stars to my new Thai friends! Gary”

“So happy to have this bakery in North Wilmington. I am abl to get a “real “ baguette and rustic Italian bread. The pastries are Amazing!”
“Great ice cream… many years ago there was a lot of fruit in their ice cream: no longer bits of tasty fruit ?. But still enjoyable. Their frozen bars are $2 and still has fruit in it. You are not wasting your money with this treat. There is also another ice cream place at farmers market. Enjoy! ?”

“I ate at the Merchant Bar tonight with my parents and my 2 young daughters. We came in during the Ladybug Festival to get some dinner and my kids quickly started to get cranky (to put it nicely). Our waitress, clearly an angel on earth, brought over bowls of grape tomatoes that she had sliced in half and cucumbers while we ordered and waited for our food. I was getting overwhelmed and she saved the night by doing that. The food and drinks were also phenomenal. Thank you for the great service and I can’t wait to go back!”

If we are in the area we will surely be back!”
“We LOVE this restaurant. The food is excellent, the choices are amazing, and Myra is an extraordinary host! This weekend, the restaurant catered our 50th anniversary party and all of our guests could not stop raving how great the appetizers and main dishes were. You can't go wrong for dinner with family and/or friends. Plus, there is a great nightclub upstairs where you can enjoy great entertainment in a friendly and welcoming setting.”
“Clean restaurant with fast service and delicious food! I have a severe food allergy which makes it hard to eat at most restaurants. 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 ☺️”

Exceptional experience! But the company and laughs were the cherry ontop.”

Love the muffins. My go to is the Chihuahua which has chicken. The owners are great friends with my brother. Love the magnets and the Catholic references. Regardless of your background, this place is very welcoming and friendly.”
“Piccolos Toscana is wonderful. The staff greeted us quickly, delivered our appetizers and drinks in the bar and brought our dinner requests in a very reasonable time. The food was delicious. Who knew hummus and grilled avacodo could be so good? Even two in our group do not normally like avocado loved the grilled avocado appetizer. We all finished every bit of our entrees. They were just the right size, and too good to leave even a little bit. Piccolo Toscana always delivers a wonderful evening.”
“The food was outstanding absolutely good only thing I would have a little issue with waiters, Need more waiters they were super busy but friendly! but everyone was very nice but with the shrimp put the grits with the shrimp honey and we got it going on.

“If your tired of the noisy pub grub and want fair price superbly prepared fine food in a comfy and classy atmosphere, Culinaria is your place. It has become our go-to place for fine dining and we've always enjoyed the food, service, and ambiance. We frequent Culinaria several times per year. This time our table of 4 had salmon, lamb chops, and trout topped with crabmeat. Everyone loved their meals and there were some left overs for lunch tomorrow. Highly recommend.

“The rigatoni and sausage is great, as is the salmon. Both locations are very dog friendly, unlike Capers and Lemons (owned by the same folks. I make it a point to visit both Taverna locations, but will avoid Capers and Lemons, even though it is closer to my home. Highly recommend Taverna. Dog lovers? Stay away from Capers and Lemons.”
“Great friendly place for n people to hang out with”
“This is my go-to place for steak. As many times that I have been going there, I’ve never had a bad meal. I always get the filet mignon and it’s always cooked perfectly. I’ve been to a couple of these restaurants in different locations and food is always great.”
“This was our second visit to Snuff Mill and the food and service is consistently top notch.
