The food was excellent, service was A+. Atmosphere was less than expected for the price and extremely loud, with the tables too close together. Overall, good experience.

I had reservations for 715. We arrived an hour early and sat at the bar and enjoyed a few cocktails. We were able to be seated early and the staff was very attentive to any need we had. I’ve always heard good things about this restaurant. The location and the ambience is one thing that will definitely bring us back.

I think this was the best meal I have had in Wilmington in the 12 years I’ve been here. Food was absolutely incredible, service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was delightful. We bring all my out of town guests here.
