Six family members dined last night and had a wonderful meal. The trout was especially delicious as was the shrimp and scallops. But I want to give a shout-out to our server, Kyle. He was a delight! Attentive without being overbearing...offered great suggestions and happily put up with us! Kudos to Kyle!!!

We had a great dining experience. The service and food were exemplary. The list of wines available by the glass is extraordinary. We chose the prix fixe menu and weren't disappointed. We both started with the lamb carpaccio, which was followed by the capellini carbonara second course, and a seared scallop entree. Desserts included a sorbet and a cheese plate. Everything was perfectly prepared and delicious. This place gets extra credit (not that they need it) for extra touches and attention to detail. For example, I had mentioned to our server (Amy) that I was torn between the carpaccio and an asparagus starter. I ended up ordering the carpaccio, and to my surprise, she delivered both. Amy was clearly knowledgeable about all of the menu items and wine offerings. Very impressive. Our expectations were definitely exceeded.

Went for a late dinner on a recent Thursday evening. Most of the early diners had left so it wasn't too busy. We were seated quickly and drinks orders taken.The menu is extensive and varied and reasonably priced. I chose the turkey stuffing and gravy dinner, while my friends had beef sliders and crab cake sliders.The portions are HUGE , well presented and hot and tasty. Our waitress was pleasant and efficient.Drinks were top notch and not watered down. Would recommend and return but watch out for the huge portions. It seemed everyone was leaving with boxes!

We recently visited the Riverfront and stopped into Iron Hill for lunch with our grand-daughter. We were seated upstairs where we had a great view of the river. We placed our orders and relaxed. I ordered the Iron Hill Chicken Wings. They were tasty and filling. Haley was our server and she did a great job.

Banks' Seafood Kitchen

Reviewed By lovestotravel013

As a long time fan of Harry’s Seafood Grill, I was excited to return despite the name change. Our seats on the riverfront patio were lovely at dusk and service was as good as always. Unfortunately, the food was inconsistent. The raw oysters were cold and flavorful, though not well shucked. The beet salad was probably the highlight of my meal. Smoked Marcona almonds added wonderful texture and taste while the whipped lemon ricotta, paired with the beets and greens, was delicious. Dishes that had raw fish, however, were poorly executed. Knife skills for the tuna tartare and sashimi seemed lacking. The cuts were rough and varied too much in size. I did not find either dish enjoyable and I typically adore raw fish. Thankfully the drinks were cold and good. I doubt we will return.

It has been years since we dined here. This restaurant was good then and is still good. Great attentive service. Food was excellent from the prime rib, to the filet mignon, scallops and monk fish. The only complaint is that there are no sides that come with the meal, they are a separate item. The house wines were above average for the price.

On a return bus excursion from Virginia Beach back to New York we were accommodated quickly and competently by the staff. Our choice of entrees made for a nice lunch stop. All food was prepared and presented beautifully. My wife and I had the crab cake and our tossed salad with the Maple Vinagarette dressing was very tasty. The wait staff was extremely busy and very receptive to the many requests for drinks too. KUDOS to The Big Fish Grill on the Riverfront.Thank you for a wonderful review!

Feby’s has always been our go to restaurant to celebrate special occasions for our family or when out of town guests visit. We also go to Feby’s when we just want a delicious meal. Our childhood friends visited from Connecticut Labor Day weekend and did not stop raving about the food and the service. Once again Feby’s lived up to our rave reviews.

A group of us were looking for a place to grab something for lunch while walking in Wilmington. So glad we found La Fia. Great little place, great food and servers were so nice and accommodating. We had limited time as we were on a lunch break from jury duty so our food came pretty quick and we were on our way. Portions were huge and the menu offered something for all of us.

Eclipse Bistro

Reviewed By CharlesA

We completely enjoyed the dining experience - from the warm welcome upon entering the venue to the prompt, attentive service. Some of the outstanding dishes we consumed include the shrimp scampi appetizer, the Dover sole special, the seared scallops, the Pappardelle Bolognese, and the dessert molten chocolate cake and a special ice cream. The restaurant is somewhat small inside, but even with almost every table occupied, is was not noisy, and our service was just excellent. I highly recommend this place!
