Tempura cauliflower was outstanding. Initial service was a bit slow but afterwards very attentive. The yelling patrons at the bar were not a delight. Seated near the door where it was cold.

The restaurant is conveniently located to much of Wilmington's Arts & Culture. We were greeted immediately by the hostess and did not have to wait to be seated. The menu is limited but with a decent variety. The food was excellent and the drinks were top notch. The waitress was attentive and service was quick. This is not a large restaurant but more of a bar with some tables so the noise level varied depending on the size of the crowd. There is limited street parking around the restaurant but there is a parking garage down the block with reasonable rates. I would go there again.

Second time coming from out of state. I definitely enjoy the food and drinks here. Clean and lovely staff.

Excellent date night. The charcuterie board was delicious. Our waitress was wonderful & very attentive. Drinks were beautifully presented & tasty. We will be back.

Nice atmosphere and a good dinner. Drinks and appetizers were delicious! The Dan Dan noodles were not as authentic as I was hoping and had more of a pad Thai taste.

We've been here many times, one of our favorite places for date night sitting at the bar. The food is off the charts, the drinks are great too. Though they lack Irish whiskey, their bourbon old fashioned makes up for it. Parking garage half a block away. Never disappointed here.

We arrived for an early dinner before a show. Our server was very attentive and patiently went over some of the menu items we were looking at. The nachos were good and spicy ! Fish tacos flavorful! Cocktails really good and refreshing. Fried calamari was good. There was a delicious strawberry shortcake over toasted corn bread. Amazing!! Highly recommend trying this place out if you're in Wilmington!

Great place in downtown Wilmington, nice location, great interior. Nicely curated menu of beer wine cocktails and spirits. Limited menu, but all expertly executed. Service was excellent.

Jazmine & Lindsay went above & BEYOND, I’ve been here once before and the service has yet to fail me! Excellent craft cocktails - Food is absolutely amazing, not a huge menu but everything on the menu is to die for!!! Great price point too! We will be re-accruing regulars for sure.

Everything was phenomenal! We had the dan dan noodles, Korean fried chicken bao buns, calamari, and guac/salsa. We had no complaints about any of our dishes! They were flavorful and the textures were right! Andrea was our server -- sweet as can be and had great food/drink recs! I will definitely be back here. Pictured is the two to mango drink, which I also loved. The music was also on point! :)

Amazing cocktails in a lovely space. Looks like a perfect date night spot or after work drinks. Already planning my next visit.

I was wanting to check Merchant bar out. I liked the vibe but the noise level was off the charts. Waited almost an hour for a drink. Food was average. Drink menu was great.

Michael

Food is great but unfortunately not enough servers (existing servers are good). Noise level consistent with other reviews. Reserved a table for 4 but it was actually 4 window seats so not ideal for conversation.
