We experienced the most amazing food and service last night! We had the wild boar soup, lamp pops with turnip purée, Kangaroo steak and Duck confit both with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts! EVERYTHING, and I mean everything was on point! The most awesome flavors and the seasoning was perfect! Thank you so much!!! We will be back!!! ☺️

Let me start by saying the fried cheese sticks were very good and the marinara that came with them was excellent. Other than that very disappointed. Burgers were dry overcooked. Salad was limp
Cannot address atmosphere or service because we had Takeout. We arrived for pick up 10 minutes before they told us it would be ready. The food was sitting waiting. I don’t know how long it had been there.

One of 3 places I suggest to any friend visiting Wilmington. Great, original menu that is always executed perfectly. The fried cheese beats any cheese stick in town, and the New Sensation pie is my go to exotic comfort food. Prices are extremely reasonable for the portions, and drinks aren’t over inflated like many other spots. Give it a shot and order boldly!

Now that the tourists have left for the fall and winter my wife and I can stop in to beach area restaurants without fighting crowds! First time here and glad we stopped in! Matt took care of everything including the delicious Boar Soup, my wife’s Elk Burger and my Duck Confit sandwich! All delicious and enjoyed $2 off on glasses of wine!

I love restaurant hoping and trying new places! I have got to give props, everything was phenomenal! Hat-off to the owner and chefs. Not one complaint, except why are they not pack out! Even if you think it's not your thing. Try it anyway! Best lunch in Wilmington! I will be back! Try the bunny bites also!

Honestly me and my wife ate here last week and it was the best meal I have had all year. We tried the Kangaroo and I will probably never eat beef again.

Came here after spending the day at Wrightsville beach with my toddler and my husband. The place was pretty quiet when we arrived and the owner was extremely accommodating and understanding. Our toddler was being a little extra to handle but we still felt welcomed.

We loved everything we ordered from the garlic cheese sticks, charcuterie with theost unique cold cuts ( i wish we had more meat!), the duck burger was to die for and the pizza was genius! The menu was so unique and delicious and it's a bonus that they also have gelato for dessert. We're glad to have stumbled upon this place during our trip. We'll be back.

Also they sell Mr. Pibb!

We really enjoyed the non-traditional menu items. The staff were welcoming and friendly. It was nice having the option to sit on a comfortable couch, and eat

Wanted to try this restaurant for awhile. I was taken there as a birthday lunch. I had the game changer pizza. It was delicious. Great beer recommendation too. Only thing I could say negative was that parking was somewhat limited and a challenge. I would still return and recommend.
