A perfect location for a great date night. The bar was cozy and the bartender was very attentive. Our reservations were for 7:15, and the only complaint is that the staff was a bit slow getting us to our table even with a reservation. After being seated around 7:45, everything after was wonderful. Our waitress was attentive and social. The food was delicious. We will definitely be back!

This was our first visit and won't be our last. Dram Yard was cute and well appointed. The food came out looking and tasting fantastic. Each ingredient shined. It might have been my favorite Bloody Mary in Wilmington!

A gem of a restaurant in downtown Wilmington. The food is always served hot and flavorful. Portions are not huge but perfect for most. The interior has a nice vibe and love the gas fire pits outside!

We felt from the minute, we entered that we were rushed. I had liquid on my seat before I arrived, my knife was dirty and had gunk on it.

Food and ambiance were incredible! We had several of the items from the brunch menu and our favorites were the tuna tartare tostada, the duck fat donuts, and the French toast. Coffees were exceptional as well! Can’t wait to return for dinner.
