We visited twice this week; once on the way to a show and for happy hour. The highlights: winter ravioli, green curry wings and beer selection, servers are very nice and attentive. A couple of things that could be better: hummus plate used to be a great Mediterranean appetizer; the new version is very disappointing, very skimpy portion smeared on a plate and extremely over spiced with one piece of torn pita to cut the heat. Will not order this version again! The place is loud so Iâd suggest updating the music selection to reflect the wide range of customers. A cool party Pandora channel would be an improvement over the classic rock din... in my opinion.

This bar and restaurant is in strip shopping center in North Wilmington. The front is a large bar while the back is booths and tables. It serves a very large number of craft beers including many from other countries. Several years ago the food was so bad I stopped going there. However, at a recent business luncheon at someone else's suggestion, the food was pretty good so we went back in a few weeks for dinner. The soup was thin and tasteless, the chicken wings had a very thick coating and were over cooked. The vegetable portions were large and OK but this restaurant is now back on our "don't go" list.

Sorry but ambiance and curb appeal are important. Quite important. We didn't make it beyond the street. Didn't even park.

7. Constitution Yards

Reviewed By Anthony R
The idea of Constitution Yards is such a welcome addition to Wilmingtonâs entertainment landscape, but I can not get past some of its inherent flaws to go out of my way for it. The location is great. Situated on a former brownfield, and nestled among several shiny new high-rise buildings, CY is walking distance for the many residents of Wilmingtonâs hottest neighborhood. Itâs also adjunct to many other riverfront destinations, like the Blue Rocks, Penn Cinema, or Kalmar Nyckel. Depending on what else is going on around here, parking can be a challenge, but spots can generally be found within a couple blocks.The things I like, besides the view, are a decent selection of microbrews, occasional good pub grub, and a fun atmosphere. The biggest thing I wish could improve is service, or should I say lack thereof. I donât know whether CY simply underestimates how much staff is needed for this operation, or if they are not efficient, but Iâve encountered unduly long lines at the bar every time Iâve been. Ditto for the food.While dusk is a beautiful time to be on the river, itâs also a challenge to find shade here. I get the âpop-upâ nature of the place, but how about some umbrellas or canopies, especially in high summer?If itâs raining or just following a rain, bring your Wellies or prepare to have wet feet. Because weâre on a floodplain, key word being flood, the 25 or so yard walk from the street to the entrance is usually submerged.That said, Iâm looking forward to returning in the winter when the skating rink is in place, and have high hopes they can work out some of the issues in the warm months.

Food is ok, beers are well chosen, open wines are good and fairly priced, music is exhilarating. Very friendly welcome and consistently attentive and fun servers (Sherry stands out.....cool tattoos, Sherry!). Crowd is welcoming and not 'tribal', outsiders accepted. Really cool atmosphere - you forgive so so Colombian inspired food. Edgy for Wilmington. Appealing selection of cigars (though no Cubans, of course.....). As a hint - develop an acceptable desert menu - you're missing a trick!

Had an excellent meal yesterday. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the oysters. He then had an order of really nice sized tasty shrimp. I had the lobster roll and canât wait to have it again. Our server, Michele was awesome. She knew her menu inside out and was very helpful in answering our questions. It was our first visit. It will not be our last. My husband had the Guinness and I enjoyed the Red Zin. We will definitely be returning and soon.

Pre-theater matinee brunch with my wife. Friendly and attentive service (water glasses were continually replenished). However, our food experience was a bit "off": My wife is allergic to red/green peppers, made this known to our server who graciously agreed to switch out the pepper-jack cheese in the breakfast nachos. Plate was delivered with a "no peppers" pronouncement by the man who delivered it (so, clearly the request made it through to the kitchen)........except the home fries that permeate the entree are loaded with red peppers. She had to carefully pick her way through her meal to eat pieces of what she could identify. I ordered the "crisp" Pork Belly Eggs Benedict. The pork belly was not crisp, the poached egg was very overdone and this, in combination with the scarcity of hollandaise sauce, made the dish very, very dry.

Everyone enjoyed their meals. So overall a very good experience. We most likely will be returning when in town again.

After touring Winterthur, we enjoyed dinner at Buckley's.... a bit of charm, character and a very comfortable place. Nice bar with seating in that area, as well as another dining room area... also some outdoor seating. Nice menu and lots of choices. Our group dined on mushroom soup, ceasar salad, curry chicken salad, and a crab melt. The menu offered everything from soups, appetizers and salads to sandwiches and entrees. Service was good.

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.
