Walked in for lunch on the Riverwalk, no wait. Street tacos were good, but the rice was the star. It was so tender and buttery, really flavorful. Just a solid, simple meal.

Fun little spot in Wilmington. The brisket mac and cheese was a standout, and the beet salad was also delicious. Our server Cameron was a delight.

Love the chill vibe here. They&#39;ve got a really interesting selection of wines and craft beers. Spent a good hour just browsing the shelves. Picked up a couple of local IPAs and a funky natural orange wine. Great spot to grab something different.

Been coming here for years when I&#39;m in Wilmington. The tonkotsu broth is consistently rich and flavorful. It&#39;s my reliable spot for a solid, straightforward meal.

Those beignets with hot honey and mortadella are something else. The fluffy beignet with that salty meat and sweet/spicy honey just works. A really clever starter, haven&#39;t had anything like it before.

Service was pretty good. Our server Madison was friendly and knew the menu well. She explained the specials clearly. The garlic butter shrimp starter was nice, and the scallop dish was decent too. A solid meal overall.

The she crab soup was really nice. Staff was friendly and patient with our kids, even when things got a little messy. A solid spot for a family dinner.

Came in around 10, pretty quiet. Our server Josh was really good&mdash;super attentive and easy to chat with. Made the morning chill.

Tuna poke tacos and shrimp &amp; grits tacos were both pretty good. The shrimp was huge, veggies fresh. Service was fine, Bryan at the bar was attentive. Pork belly pockets were decent, a bit on the salty side for me.

Staff was patient while I figured out my order. Went with cream cheese icing and strawberry jam. Weird combo, but it worked for a quick bite.

Service was on point. They noticed it was a bit warm up front and moved us to a cooler spot without us even asking. Staff was friendly and kept an eye on our table. Made for a relaxed dinner.
