“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!”

“Ok. So I've been reading the reviews about this amazing food truck located in the gas station parking lot of a BP. Sketchy part of town but it was on our way home today and we finally decided to give it a shot. It's in a smallish parking lot but we managed to squeeze in there nicely.Ordered one lamb over rice platter that we were planning on sharing since my better half is very finicky when it comes to food. Should have immediately gone back to pick up another because we attacked that platter like neither one of us had seen food before. All of these glowing reviews on here for this business? BELIEVE. THE. HYPE. The lamb was so succulent and spiced well that it melted in your mouth. The rice was spiced perfectly so that they complemented each other beautifully. There's a salad with that meal too and everything was super fresh and on point. The chef was very kind too!I've been to a number of restaurants over the years but I have to tell you that this might be the best place I've eaten at. Will we be returning? We've already decided that this is our new go to spot since we moved back to Wilmington. Check this place out for yourselves, you won't regret it.”

The best option was the moist brisket (this is different from the regular brisket). There are six sauces to choose from. They are all available on the table. The cornbread was a little dry but had good flavor, and the collard greens were tasty but spicy. The service was very good and a manager stopped by and gave us coupons for a free sandwich for being first timers. One thing of note. It was really hot in the restaurant. Not sure if that was because of the cookers but you may want to wear layers if attending in winter. We enjoyed ourselves and will be 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.”

“I will only eat Al's sushi from here on out. I loved sitting at Al's sushi bar when he was formerly at Mikimoto's and I always wondered where he went because I've never had sushi as delicious as his signature rolls. Well, it's been at least 15 years since I had a roll from the former restaurant and I've been everywhere trying to find ANY roll that could touch Al's Signature and California Sweet Dream.... I finally got downtown to DECO after seeing Al on the news....I am back in sushi heaven which is wherever Al is! I even brought my 8 year old who agreed....best sushi EVER. Al, I really appreciate you and your staff and will be back!”

1412 N Dupont St, Wilmington

“A lovely Italian restaurant bordering Trolley Square. The service is immaculate as the servers are very attentive and provide anything you need. The food was tremendous and the the drinks were good, although I’d suggest broadening the beer on draught considering draught beer pairs so well with the menu items. We were a larger party so we requested they leave pitchers of water on the table so we wouldn’t have to bother the waitress for water so often, but apparently the owner has a policy of no visible pitchers because it’s a “poor aesthetic.” Anyway we saw plenty of pitchers placed just feet away on a surface way more visible than our dining table.Parking: Shares a parking lot with a few other businesses so spots close to the restaurant are hard to find sometimes.”

Santa Fe Mexican Grill - Wilmington 2000 Pennsylvania Ave, Wilmington Mexican • $$
2000 Pennsylvania Ave, Wilmington

“Entry to the restaurant, the hostess was speaking in a very soft voice, and was asked to speak up multiple times without success. Ordered a side dish that was never delivered. Ordered a shrimp salad that had no dressing, and the waitress came back halfway through to find out how things were. The Baja fish tacos were dry and tasteless, and the tortillas were stale-tasting and very dry. The salsas, red and green, were delicious with warm chips. The steak and eggs had good reviews, as did the short rib poached egg burrito. Bloody Maria's were delicious. I would return to try other items before banishing this place from my restaurant list.”

Mimi Teriyaki 925 Orange St, Wilmington Chinese • $$
925 Orange St, Wilmington

“I have been living in Wilmington for the past 6 months and Mimi Teriyaki has been my best option when it comes to price-quality. If you get there Chicken and Beef Teriyaki or Chicken and Shrimp Teriyaki, you will not be disappointed since they always give you enough food for two meals and the chicken has always been tender. Personally, I don't believe this place gets enough business due to its location, but I encourage people to go for lunch during work hours or even dinner for take out. At first, the owner and employees are friendly, but if you become a regular they will recognize you and treat you with kindness along with amazing customer service. This place might not be the fancy spot you are looking to dine-in, but if you are looking for the best local takeout Asian food in Wilmington, Mimi Teriyaki will be your best friend. Lastly, no business is perfect and I wish people could be more understanding and flexible when it is extremely busy or they make a simple mistake.”

“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!”

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.

Rice Restaurant 2015 Limestone Rd, Wilmington Sushi • $$
2015 Limestone Rd, Wilmington

“Rice has long been our go-to place in DE for sashimi: thick cuts (as they should be), always fresh, expertly prepared. We love the wonton soup and fried rice as well, and everything we've tried from the non-sushi menu has always been a cut above. Everything tastes prepared fresh that day; the vegetables are crisp; it's never overloaded with salty, gooey sauce. So many places just cover up mushy vegetables and old rice with sugar-heavy sauce because it's what we Americans expect, but this restaurant seems to actually care about putting out quality. The staff is always courteous, too. Thank you for the lovely Valentine's Day meal my husband just brought home. You all are doing a terrific job.”
