Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Wilmington

The food was really good, our server was also really good, I think I would comeback on a less crowded night to give it a send try. Overall was a good night. 4.5 starts!

We had a Valentine’s Day dinner reservation for 6:30. We arrived early and was told it would a little bit of a wait (no biggey). We decided to go to the bar for a drink and loved to stayed there for our dinner. The bartender was very busy but attentive. We had cocktails that were mixed perfectly, Calamari that was crisp and fresh, and for our main entree we split the Chicken Marsala. It wasn’t plated for our split but we used our calamari plates and that was fine. The Marsala was served over a plentiful plate of Fusilli. It could have had more sauce but we were not fussy. My husband ordered Tiramisu for dessert. He thought mine was better but he ate the whole. Over all a great date night.

Haven’t been to Legal’s in awhile and was pleasantly surprised by the expanded, creative menu. You can still get the classics, but the variety of new offerings really impressed!

Very good date night dinner for my fiance and I. Went on dollar oyster night and sat in the lounge. Had 2 cocktails, the spicy marg and their take on a old fashioned neither of which I cared for that much but I tried them. We also had the calamari (very good) and the burger. A little undercooked when we ordered medium rare but I like rare anyhow and my girl let me finish it. Over all a very good night though.

While we realize that this is a new venture after Covid, Chopps used to be much better. Gone are the servers who brought you coffee, tea and assorted beverages, making it a truly cafeteria style atmosphere. This may be what some people like but after the original Chopps, we were subjected to a less than stellar experience for brunch. The scrambled eggs were horrible. Coffee and tea are served in paper cups at a station. The omelet station was manned by one gentleman who was pleasant but really didn't know that you fold an omelet before presenting it. Fruits and waffles were good, as were the bacon, sausage and cereals. Hard to goof those things up. I don't believe we'll be going back to his version of Chopps unless we hear they have made some adjustments to their presentation.
