“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.”

“Delicious and beautiful food, charmingly presented with attention to detail. Fresh, but not trendy versions of classic afternoon tea fare, for example an open-faced Caprese sandwich with a thin layer of a lively red pepper jam. The food was delicate in appearance but added up to a hearty meal. Totally delightful, and I have often been disappointed with afternoon teas. I love them when they are done right, and this one was perfect. Can’t wait to go again!”

Stoney's British Pub 3007 Concord Pike, Wilmington Gastropubs • $$
3007 Concord Pike, Wilmington

“A very cozy place for a Saturday night date. Surprised on how busy it was as it seems pretty quiet during the day so we did not know what to expect. Live music was great and added to the atmosphere. We tried the potato and leek soup which was nicely balanced with tidbits of potato to give it texture rather than a pureed approach. The scotch egg was nicely hot and nice that it allowed the protein to speak for itself without overpowering it with salt or grease. I enjoyed my toad in the hole and the Yorkshire pudding was nicely baked. The gravy with the mashed potatoes was absolutely brilliant. We want to come visit again when we have another date night.”

Farmer & The Cow 413 N Market St, Wilmington Burgers • $$
413 N Market St, Wilmington

“Farmer and the Cow is a little out of the way down Market Street compared to the other downtown eateries, but it's worth the walk. And besides, "out of the way" in Wilmington means an extra block.If you like whiskey, whisky, scotch, bourbon, or other spirits, then this place has your back. If you're not sure if you like whiskey, whisky, scotch, bourbon, or other spirits, the bar staff are exceedingly good at their jobs and will be able to select something for you that will probably end up being a new favorite. I'm slowly getting into trying more and more of these and this bar is among the best stocked I've visited, especially in the area.I have to mention in particular, for all you greater-Chicago transplants new to the area, there is Malort here. Love it or hate it, this is easily the furthest from Chicago I've been able to find Malort on a menu. And they'll give it to you in an honest-to-god, cheap as hell "Citywide Special" (beer and a bump, boilermaker, whatever you want to call it) with that blue-ribbon winning beer too.Food's also great. I like the rotating menu; I appreciate that they'll put malt powder in any shake; they've been on DDD, if you're a Guy Fieri fan; and they also cook burgers to order preference.A true gem in Wilmington.”

“I am writing this review in hopes of receiving a response.My husband and I call in regularly to collect our favorite dishes, which is the beef lasagna and the lobster mac and cheese. The staff are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere pleasant. We think it is important to support the local economy and Toscana's has served the local community successfully for many years.There is one point of constructive feedback that we would like to offer. As a take-out item, the gelato I believe is not served authentically. Toscana's appears to be serving gelato as if it is the same as ice cream. An ice cream scooper is being used instead of a specific gelato utensil. This impacts the serving amount and the way it is presented.”

Sometimes they are out of things like celery or carrot sticks for the wings, or a menu item that sold out during the day. Their fries are fantastic! I would love to see more salads on the menu like a Waldorf Salad, Chicken Caesar salad, or even offer balsamic vinaigrette for some healthier options. Crudites with hummus and pita would be welcome too. Julinna has always given us the most friendly and helpful customer service with a smile. We'll definitely be back time and again.”

The menu is expertly crafted, featuring a fusion of flavors and innovative combinations that showcase the culinary prowess of the talented chefs.The food itself was simply outstanding. Each dish is prepared with great attention to detail, and it's evident that only the freshest and highest-quality ingredients are used. I had the pleasure of trying their half chicken served over mashed potatoes, fish tacos, and off the menu butter pasta prepared for my two children which they devoured.The service at Corner Bistro was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. They were more than happy to provide recommendations and answer any questions you may have about the menu. Throughout my meal, I felt well taken care of, and the staff's genuine passion for their work shone through.The atmosphere at Corner Bistro is another standout feature. The cozy and intimate setting creates a relaxed and enjoyable dining environment. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or having a casual dinner with friends, the restaurant's ambiance is perfectly suited for any occasion.Lastly, I must mention the attention to detail that Corner Bistro demonstrates. From the beautiful presentation of the dishes to the thoughtfully curated wine list, every aspect of the dining experience is carefully considered. It's evident that the team behind Corner Bistro is dedicated to providing their guests with an extraordinary culinary journey.In conclusion, Corner Bistro is a hidden gem that deserves recognition for its exceptional food, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere.

“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.”

“I wanted something different and decided to try Tyler's Bar and grill because it was nearby. I've seen how busy they are before so I figured it would be worth trying. I am so glad that I did! The food was very very good. I ordered the BBQ fried chicken sandwich, it has pickled onions and blue cheese on it. The whole chicken fillet comes smothered in barbecue sauce and it's excellent. I didn't get to eat it until I got home and I live about 15 minutes away and then had to run in a store. So I ate it about 30 minutes after I bought it and it was still good. I can't wait to come and dine in and try it fresh out the kitchen! Great job guys..... Oh and they told me 20 minutes and it was ready in exactly 20 minutes. I am full and have no complaints lol”

“I was referred to this business by a family member, said to have some great food but instead I experienced nothing but anxiety from a drunken bartender. She accused me of already receiving my order when in fact she was intoxicated and simply had forgotten it. So I left with cold food and disappointment after a 30 min wait. Waste of time and money. My wife called and explained the situation and was denied a refund. As long as that dysfunctional lady is working there I'd advise anyone to choose another restaurant. Respectfully ??”

“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!”
