Best Lunch Restaurants in Wilmington

Columbus Inn is the best choice for brunch in this area. Excellent food and service and moderate prices. The only criticism I have is that when there is a large group, and there often is, the noise level is really loud. This is Moore the fault of guests who seem to need to out show each other. But if you go at 10 AM, you can generally Have a quiet table and a very nice meal indeed.

Great restaurant for a date night. Great ambiance and the food and service was amazing. I have been there multiple times over the last few years and will continue to go back.

I received excellent Service as usual at this location and we will definitely come back again.

This was our first time at Banks but it will not be our last. We had read about the good restaurants on the Riverwalk and just decided to try Banks for our first visit. The service was perfect, not rushed but just a nice pace for our meal. The food was amazing. Our waitress suggested the tuna and it was absolutely perfect. We sat in the bar section and were very surprised at how nice and quiet it was. I would like to go back in the warmer months and get a table out in their patio.

Lovely dining experience. We were seated promptly and served water immediately. Our server was pleasant and knowledgeable, and her recommendation of the Pinot Grigio was spot-on (less sweet and more minerally than a typical PG). The complimentary bruschetta was tasty. My wife ordered the cioppino. The seafood was exquisitely prepared with a marinara that had a softness and butteriness to it. I enjoyed a cheese ravioli (all pasta made in house and it tasted like it) with sage and butter sauce. The coconut/pineapple sorbet was really delicious. The restaurant itself is not exactly cozy - it has an old-school openness, and a sort of cool modernity - but the food, and service, were excellent. Highly recommended.
