Brunch Restaurants in Wilmington, NC

“Faith restored!!! After swearing never to return I thought I would give it another try and very happy I did. I ordered the Eggs Benedict again and our Waitress, Trish remembered me and said, "you like your Muffins well done right?" I must confess being remembered after so long was a tad uncomfortable and I thought "oops maybe I was a little too vocal and critical last time I was here! But Trish was charming and allayed any concerns in that area. She was very attentive made sure my meal came out exactly as we had requested, Muffins well toasted!. I have been back twice since and hoped that I would again be served by Trish, sadly not but received great service from my servers and the food was perfect. This restaurant has an holistic approach to serving insofar that your main server may not be the one that brings your food or ensures you are well served with Water, coffee or whatever. I believe tips are shared but regardless this results in a high level of attention to the customer. Though not our prime server today I was happy that Trish was on hand to keep my coffee cup full. Shame on me but I did not get my prime servers name today but I would be remiss in not also giving kudos to her for great service. Thank you for restoring my faith. Oh, I forgot to mention the Breakfast potatoes are to die for!

The good, excellent friendly and attentive waitstaff. The bad: the kitchen does not respond to customer requests/desires. I love Eggs Benedict and this is what I typically order and they do a good job getting the eggs right. However, I hate soggy muffins and specifically ask that my English muffins be well toasted (just about black) and on only one occasion out of many they actually got it right! I have had to return many due to the underdone muffins and even after returning them they still seem reluctant to toast them as requested. Today I made the same order
plus a side order of Hollandaise sauce. Specifically mentioned I want the Muffins very well toasted, they arrived almost pure white! I returned them and then at best got medium toasted and the side order of sauce was stone cold and the potatoes barely warm. When I informed the waiter that the sauce was cold I got the most ridiculous response that they could warm it up but that could cause the eggs to cook up. When the English Muffins are well toasted and crispy the Eggs Benedict are excellent but I have had enough of not being given what has been requested and ending up frustrated and disappointed. Sorry to say this will be the last time I eat here.“

“Best breakfast [Original] Best breakfast“

“The Shrimp & Grits with lobster cream sauce was heavenly and the Nutella French Toast was the perfect sweet treat accompanied by the delicious Gummy Bear Mimosa! Great brunch experience!“

“We LOVE our walks to Drift for lemon loaf and lattes. The staff is so kind to my preschooler. It’s his favorite thing to do on a fall morning :)“

“Went today and had Maggie as our server, she was the sweetest and best server ive ever had. I told her i was pregnant so I couldnt drink like my party was and she brought me a plate with chocolate spelling "congrats" and a few mini muffins to make sure I was able to feel special as well!! I legit cried because it was so sweet. I am so excited to go again.“

“Brandon W. Is the best server I’ve ever encountered! Keep up the great work! We’ve been here many times and have always had a great experience but today was by far the best. Thanks again Brandon!“

“the veggie breakfast burrito with the crispy potato’s is our go to every time we are here! but i’ve never been with anyone disappointed in their order, so i don’t think you can go wrong. the location has an airy atmosphere. i’m bummed to read some of the negative reviews—we’ve always had a wonderful experience, thankfully! currently, the pumpkin spice latte is the best i’ve ever had, so much spice! and their matcha lattes with honey and oat milk and lavendar are delicious.“

“I stopped in for a quick coffee and got an Americano with an extra shot of espresso. I got the avocado toast and added an egg and bacon on top. Even though it was a single egg, it was huge, which was awesome. The bacon was cooked perfectly. The bread tasted like homemade, and was either grilled or toasted, which made it very crunchy and delicious.

Highly recommended!“
