Hear from our valued guests
Highs: Food and drinks were great! Highly recommend the bao buns, ribs and toaster strudel. Lows: (1) We were seated by curtains that led to a back room so everyone had to pass us within inches, pushing through the curtains hitting one of our chairs. No one should be seated there. (2) Nothing turns your stomach quite like your server coming over to check on your meal smelling like an ashtray. The smell was so strong that I took the rest of my meal to go.
We will come back because of Jason Wheeler (bartender). He is Know upbeat, knowledgeable, knows the menu inside and out and was extremely hospitable. He greeted everybody, thanked them for coming in and shook hands with every patron at the bar.
Great spin on some pub favorites. Do not miss the Cheesesteak Bao Buns. And the Potato Dippers are the best thing to happen to "fries" in a long time. Not even sure you can call the French fries at this level. Service was friendly, sincere, and quick. Great vibe for drinks or a full meal. We will be back. (Part of the Bardea group, and it shows)
We had a large group, and they were ready for us! Prompt drink orders, good guidance on apps and recommendations for mains. The drinks and food were very tasty, and Jason took great care of us. We'll definitely come back!
This place is absolutely phenomenal. They accommodated a 14 top on the fly when another restaurant 5 doors down could not be bothered to put tables together for our group. We ordered a large volume of apps because everything looked so good. The speed, execution, and delivery was exceptional. The food and entrees were exceptional, the waitress was exceptional. They even brought me an awesome firecracker with my picanha steak since it was my 40th birthday. I highly recommend the steak and the bao philly cheesesteaks. Everyone left very impressed and we will be back!
Went for the bao buns & they didn’t disappoint. Everything we ordered was really good! We will definitely be back!
The server we had was AMAZING! He had great recommendations and compliments. He was serving it all. We enjoyed ourselves because of him. The place was so quiet and had some music but he was the entertainment. The food was good. The fries were one of the best I've had. I had the fish tacos and I enjoyed .
My new favorite in Wilmington!! Bao Buns were delicious. Also the Sugar Were Going Doe drink was phenomenal! The peapod garnish made me lol. I drink like a fish, so I spent way more than the average person. Great service at the bar, even during an Eagles game. I WILL be back!
This place was my kinda vibe. Jason our server/bartender was one of the best waiters I’ve had the pleasure of having. The atmosphere is very fun location that can accommodate both an upscale pub date night to a chill spot to hang out with the boys. My wife an I came in for lunch, the cheesesteak bao buns are an absolute must try! Also the only place that has Hamms on a menu, how cool. Food is excellent but the service was even better.
The service was great. We went on a Monday after noon during happy hour. Fair warning, The happy hour menus only applies to the designated bar areas. Our waitresses were very kind and accommodating. The still and sparking water were refreshing while we waited for our food. The bao buns were the main attraction. Everything was fresh and made to order.
