Giving this place 5/5 stars is shortchanging it. It's the best lunch in Wilmington and for more reasons than one. The staff is fantastic, attentive, and very friendly. The manager, Michael, along with his cast of waiters and waitresses, are very personable and everyone greets me by name when I visit for lunch. The food belongs on the Food Network. Everything is done perfectly and in a way that makes it unique from anything else that you'll taste in Southeast NC. Even the mac and cheese has a slight hint of Indian food that's to die for. The interior is clean, very well decorated, and air conditioned. The bar looks like a place you will sit at and order a Tom Collins while you chat with your friends. The outside has the scenic Bluffs neighborhood casting the perfect backdrop around three very relaxing outdoor eating venues. My favorite thing to do is visit here at lunch and enjoy the Banarama smoothie while I read my book outside. When my meal arrives, I stow my book away and I enjoy my food while I watch the breeze sway in the trees, hoping to see a large gorgeous black squirrel that calls the Bluffs courtyard home.

The food,staff,and management are top notch. Went there with family on a late luncheon. The manager came to our table and was very friendly funny and courteous. It was also very professional that after our meal the main chef came to our table and wanted us to share our experience with him on the food level a definite 10 great place go check it out.

A hidden gem! This restaurant is located in the community of River Bluffs. If someone hadn't taken me there for my first visit I would have never known it was there. Glad I do now. It is open to the public and easy to access. Great sandwiches, salads, and daily specials with a full bar.

Took a friend here for her birthday today. Loved the location! The food was very good, had a Reuben and potato salad. Broke down and got dessert, one of the best banana puddings I have ever had! The host was delightful and the waitstaff were great. Give it a shot. Off Castle Hayne Road.

Off the beaten path, but not really. This place is inside a gated community, just tell the guard you are going to the restaurant. Great sandwiches , a decent selection of beer.We eat here on our way to and from Wilmington. The food and the atmosphere makes you want to live in the development. Try it, you'll like it!

Excellent food and service. Great place to grab lunch. The only complaint is they are not open enough. Come and bring your friends so the hours can be expanded. You will not regret it.
