“Been going here for years to eat in or get take out. I love that it’s walking distance from my house. You can tell everything is fresh and homemade. Must haves: gnocchi, meatballs w/ whipped ricotta, meatball salad, wedding soup…and so many more. Atmosphere is great…always a good crowd, greeted by Donnie the owner every time and the staff provides excellent hospitality. Zero complaints.”
American • $$
“TY for accommodating our party of 18 on a Saturday… Your fried calamari was so yummy, the flight of soup was a brilliant idea for someone who’s undecisive to be able to sample 3 different cups, my crab cake was so amazing - I’m drooling just thinking about the jumbo lumps of crab chunks!!! By the way hubby & I noticed the American Psycho decors right away as we’re huge fans of the book & movie. Last but def not least, the service was great even though there were 18 of us with some loud kiddos.”
Bistros • $$$
“The food was prepared well the duck was delicious and juicy, the little gem salad was good yet not as spicy as I anticipated from the description. The braised short ribs were very flavorful and melted in your mouth. The potatoes were crispy with a nice salty coating. The halibut was tasty yet uninspired. The grilled mushrooms were very well prepared but the rest of the dish was lacking a place of it's own; just kind of bland fish dish on puréed potatoes which let's face it is the least creative side. Dessert was well thought out and prepared. I had the pistachio torte which was excellent and my gorgeous date had the chocolate cake which was similarly excellent. For cocktails the Amalfi spritz was refreshing with a hint of hibiscus and not bitter like an Aperol spritz and the bone dry dirty martini met the mark.”

Wine Bar • $$$
“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!!”

“I recently tried Rooted AF. for the first time and have been craving their empanadas every day since.
Seriously, they’re amazing. I had two beef and cheese empanadas with some fries. As someone who doesn’t even like regular fries, I hesitated to get them but the other sides didn’t sound appealing to me.
The fries were great! So well seasoned I didn’t even care that they didn’t come with a sauce.
We’ll definitely be back!”

My daughter - the fussiest eater - loves the quesadillas and eats everything on her plate. The Mango Margaritas- wowza!!!! The people are so nice - great service. I love the food and as they always say about ethnic restaurants - eat at a restaurant the natives eat because you know it’s genuine food. And it is. Simply the best!”

I had a Puerto Rican friend growing up three houses away and her mother would invite me over for dinner sometime. That’s when I fell in love with the way Puerto Rican food tastes. So when I eat the Stewed Chicken from Carmen’s in reminds me of when I first tasted Puerto Rican food years ago. Carmen is very friendly and so are her staff. It’s a very clean place and I would recommend this place to anyone who loves ethnic food.”

Regardless of your background, this place is very welcoming and friendly.”

“We decided to check out Tonic after seeing the Brandywine restaurant week advertisement. We came here on the first day of Brandywine restaurant week, but they did not seem to offer restaurant week menu to us. Since their usual menu looked interesting, we decided not to pester them about it.
We got the meat and cheese board, seafood salad, and fillet. We enjoyed everything we ordered and would recommend those. The sticky toffee pudding was okay! Too sweet for my personal taste.
Parking: The restaurant validates parking tickets (3 hours) at a nearby parking garage.”

“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 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.
Parking: Access and parking is fine.
Kid-friendliness: Seems to be kid friendly but you won't find chicken fingers nad french fries on the menu so check out the menus before bringing children.
Wheelchair accessibility: No problem with wheelchair accessiblity.”

Pizza • $$
“Got their Detroit style meatball pizza and I honestly think it was the best thick crust pizza I've ever had in my life and in my top 3 best pizzas overall of all time. It certainly was my first Detroit style pizza, which is kind of sad because I'm from MI!
The crust was perfection. The bottom was perfectly crispy with that baked on cheese along the sides and the inside was pillowy with an almost sponge-like consistency (in the best possible way!). The quality of the toppings, including the meatballs and ricotta cheese were top notch. I absolutely gorged myself and have zero guilt about it. It was worth every calorie! lol This was my first time having their food and I'm definitely looking forward to future visits.
The only minor hiccup I had was with the delivery service. I ordered through the Slice App and the delivery fee was almost $7.00 + 20% tip and they didn't even use any sort of insulated bag. By the time I got my delivery (after at least one, possibly two other stops before me - I could see the delivery car on the map), my pizza was not warm at all and was just sitting on the drivers front seat before he handed it to me. How is a $25 insulated bag not required for both food quality and food safety?
Seems like it would be a no-brainer investment to make for a food delivery service, especially if they're making multiple deliveries in a single trip. Fortunately, I was able to freshen it back up on my pizza stone and the rest is delicious history.
I've still going to give them a 5* overall rating because I'm not entirely sure if it's the restaurant or a 3rd party service who handles delivery, but there should be some improvements made as far as how customer food is transported.”
Asian Fusion • $$
“I always order sashimi / sushi. The dishes are always very well presented, fresh and generously portioned, really excellent. For that they get 5 stars. I did taste some food from their kitchen menu which was good but not as good as the sushi / sashimi. All in all, a very nice place to eat. I recommend it.
Wheelchair accessibility: There are no impediments and the doors are wide enough to get a wheelchair easily through.”

Pizza • $$
“Bardea Garden is the wonderful child of Bardea and Bardea Steak. We loved the ambiance and the cuisine was off the charts. The single carrot was extraordinary. The hamburger was as good as it gets. The Filet was breath-taking. My NY foodie friends were blown-away. The elk meatballs and the gnocchi were extraordinary. This was the dinner of the year, so far!!! (Service was only ordinary as Bardea appeared to be understaffed that evening. Still, everyone was so nice....)”

“The fried chicken wings covered in barbecue sauce is so good! staff is super polite and very helpful. The wait staff was kind and attentive and the food was delicious.”
Italian • $$
“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.”

Brewery • $$
“Great beer!! Cool building. Unfortunately, the bartender was blatantly cold, rude, and off-putting. Yikes! Made me feel super unwelcome, despite me trying to be very nice and smiley. I even attempted to strike up friendly conversation. I said “thank you” to him about a dozen times and never got a response.. at all. Zilch. Laughably rude. Notably, it was a very slow night, so it wasn't like he was busy.I drove 30 minutes to try this place while in town, and left feeling disappointed and self conscious. Wishing this very cool brewery the best. All they need is better bartending. It’s sad to see a bad-mood employee tarnishing the presentation of their hard work. Very tasty beer for sure!! ? 4 stars because the beer was a top notch!! Worth the trip over here even if the experience overall wasn’t good.”

Sushi • $$
“I used to be here almost every week but had a long break due to the pandemic. I visited here again last week and have to say that the quality of the food has dropped. I understand it is getting harder to survive especially after the pandemic and, considering the price, this place is likely already trying its best. Overall, the place is still good with the price.”

“I was NOT disappointed! I decided to come here for a Saturday lunch after scrolling through the options in Wilmington. I was able to find parking on the street easily. I walked in, sat at the bar right away and was quickly greeted with a friendly bartender. I was super excited to see that they have Leinie’s on tap! As a Wisconsin native I couldn’t pass up the Leinie’s Juicy Peach sour. It was a great and refreshing drink. I also enjoyed the French Onion Soup. It came out piping hot and was perfect. I am glad I made it here and will definitely be back!”

“My sister and Fiancé usually go Suite 4 Eleven for date night. One particular Saturday she asked me to go with them so they could see if this would be a great place to hold their after party for the wedding. Needless to say we will be booking a section in September for after the wedding. This is our new hangout spot. The DJ,food,hookah and professionalism of the staff is what absolutely sold it for us!”

“This little restaurant was so good. I went on my last day in Wilmington. It was my only chance, my business didn't allow me the opportunity to visit during their open hours, so I was glad to get a moment to drop in. I kept it simple, a gyro, pasta salad, and baklava. It was excellent. The gyro was simple, tasty, the pita bread was so fresh and soft, everything on this gyro was seasoned perfectly. The pasta salad was delightful just the right amount of zing, with a little tart taste thrown in. The baklava was not overly sweet, just enough nutty taste with som great flaky, light taste from the Phyllo dough. If I am ever in the neighborhood again, I would jump at the chance to grab some eats here. You should too, I don't think you'll be disappointed!”
Barbecue • $$
“Locale BBQ Post did an outstanding job catering for my Dad’s birthday party this past weekend. Everyone LOVED the food, and there was plenty left over, despite us refilling the containers repeatedly. All of the meats (brisket, pulled pork, and chicken) and sauces were fantastic (extra compliments were given for “The Sauce” and the bbq sauce) and the yams and baked beans were delicious. We also enjoyed the potato salad and pickles. I really appreciate the communication also, even when I increased the amount of food being ordered within the week of the party.”

“Very nice little spot tucked away. They serve pizza and other food. I have not tried much of the food yet. I live in smyrna, so it's a hike. They have a huge bar outside by the water. They have live music and a DJ. I will definitely be going back. They only gripe I have was the female bartender being rude to a friend of mine.... other than that, I like the place i definatly need to try the food and get some pictures
Parking: They have valet parking if you pull up to the front there. The valet guy was cool. There are a few parking lots behind the building just drive past the entrance and they are on the right...”

“We just enjoyed a wonderful meal this evening. We started with the buratta app. Fresh buratta with tomato jam and chopped kalamata olives, the perfect blend of sweet and salty. 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.”

“This ended up being a nice surprise. The service was good, food ended up being better than expected and everyone was talking up thier wings which are on special every Wednesday. I'll have to go back for those. I tried the Cranberry turkey BLT, and it was a lot more than I expected for size and flavor. Top off with some sweet potato fries.”

“Yatz's is the BEST. Definitely in the top 3 of Delaware. The Ladies who create those delicious mouth watering subs are tremendously nice and very kind. The best part for me are the Tomatoes that Yatz's uses. I do not know where they get it from but when its laid on that turkey sub with a bag of chips and a cold one from their great juice selection....food ambiance at its finest. I usually pay for extra tomatoes!! Oh and the water ice in summertime, salud...”

Our waitress, Renee, had a positive attitude, was happy to help, calm, willing to make sure our order got in just right even though I made changes to how the item was listed on the menu. She hurried as fast as she could. Food was delicious. Bathrooms were clean.”

“We saw the mixed reviews and were a little uncertain, but since we had never visited before decided to take a chance. Glad we did, the food was excellent. I got the Chicken Chilango. My wife got the Chorizo Morolean. Both were generously sized, flavorful but not spicy hot. I personally prefer spicy hot but it was good as it was. Next time I think we would get one or the other then fill it out with a taco or two. They had many taco choices but we didn't try any. Most of the menu items were not Tex-Mex although there were a few of those selections available. I left over-full as it was.
Service (Diego) was also attentive, fast, courteous. The place was reasonably busy. A majority of the customers were Hispanic, which for a Mexican restaurant, I take as a good sign.
Ambiance was so-so. A little sparse, has a big Day of the Dead theme going. Unsure if that is the time of the year (approaching October) or not. Nothing wrong with it, just not very interesting.
Overall we liked El Patron a lot. I would suggest ignoring some of the negative reviews & give it a try if you are looking for a little different Mexican offering & a new place to eat. We will definitely be back.”
“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!!”
