I got the Scallop and Shrimp risotto and my freind got the lasagna they both tasted amazing. My server Zoey was so sweet and attentive. I would recommend coming here for a date night or a nice get together, I will be coming back here with my sister!

Food was superb and the wife and I spilt a fabulous super Tuscan that was half price as are all bottles of wine on Sundays. Great service too. Ambience a bit “plain” but not a deterrent to an excellent meal. Prices are reasonable too for fab food.

It was a beautiful night and we were able to see some of sunset as we were not on the river side of the building. Service was great and the food was very good as well. We had the braised short rib and the tenderloin ravioli. Both were very good. We would definitely go back next time we are in Wilmington.

The desserts are phenomenal, as well. It is a MUST to sit on a balcony when the weather is nice but be sure to always make a reservation. Highly recommend for a date night or special occasion.
