We celebrated my 75th birthday at Dram Yard and it was superb! We started with 🦪 and cocktails followed by duck breast for my wife and Tile fish for me with Huia Sauvignon Blanc! The food was top notch and the service matched the food! They have a Team approach to make sure all goes well and this team: Mere, Tim, Camelia, Chef Nick, Chef Rhye and John were great. I would suggest this is the best team in Wilmington!

Wow can’t believe we haven’t been here before, everything was amazing- I don’t normally write a review but after last nights dinner I felt I had to commend them - every single part of the meal was well thought out and the flavors delicious and all cooked expertly. The tuna tostada was crispy with succulent tuna and the pork chop was the most tender and flavorful that I have ever had. I am also GF and they accommodated me wonderfully and I had no issues at all.

Dram Yard is a great place for Dinner in Downtown Wilmington. For starters, they offer valet parking, for a small fee. This is a plus in Downtown Wilmington, where parking can be challenging. The Restaurant is very nice, with excellent servers, and outstanding food quality. A really good Dining experience. Highly recommend

We booked last minute reservations for outside because it was the only available option. We we arrived we were greeted and the staff was able to accommodate our request for inside seating. The 5 course tasting option was perfect. Each course was delicious. Our server was fabulous!!!! We will be back

Pork chop was all fat, inedible. Service was sketchy, didn’t appear for chunks of time, no knife served with meat. Cocktail had no mint like requested
