First time going for dinner. Would have preferred a table with 2 burners since we have someone gluten free. Since we had to share a cooking pot, all of the gluten free food had to be cooked first.
I love this restaurant and the food is really good. I have a gluten allergy and they have a gluten free bun available for the burgers. I do have to critique the bun though, it falls apart way too easily. They need to upgrade that, but I still appreciate that they have it. I would also like it if the menu was more labeled for allergies present, and wish they had gluten free chicken wings I could eat. However, the service has always been very good there and the atmosphere is pretty chill. My husband and I love coming here or ordering food to go from their online ordering system!
Really great cocktails and pizza! My gluten free pizza was the best I have ever had...thin and crispy which is how I like it! The Italian salad was very good also!
Five Stars! Excellent food, service, atmosphere, clean bathrooms, great vibe. Extra points for the gluten-free fried calamari with a dedicated GF fryer. It was off the charts!
MAIN POINT IS THIS, If you have people in your party who are vegan, or gluten free, along with meat eaters and are thinking "wow this place can accommodate all of us" Just know, it can't. And should not be trusted to do so. If you have an allergy to a single item on the menu, please, do not take the risk of eating here. They do not have their act together and cannot be trusted to save you from an allergic reaction.
Anyway, So this happened in the winter, I didn't write a review then but looking at some of the other issues people had looking at reviews today i though i should. I, like others, ordered a tofu stir fry and there was beef mixed in with the tofu. This is beyond unacceptable and extremely disgusting for a vegan like myself. What a joke this place is. They label things on the menu as vegan, or gluten free. What a lie that is, if this place can't handle their issues with cross contamination then nothing on the menu is vegan, gluten free, or free of any specific allergens.
I will never. In my life. Go back to this trash restaurant. I won't go to any locations period. I can't trust them to not put meat in my supposedly vegan food.
Btw i called and complained and they weren't even apologetic about it lol. They did refund my stir fry, but they seemed annoyed that i called to complain.
The private event held at Tonic was memorable and the staff was very instrumental in making it so. Gina Mauger was excellent. She was always available to discuss/review the specifics and was ready with options to accommodate my needs. The servers were very attentive without being intrusive. The entire staff worked seamlessly together to create a wonderful dining experience.. Last but not least at all, the food was amazing!!! Very tasty!!! To my surprise, most of the food was gluten free - a request I overlooked. My family was very pleased. I look forward to hosting my next party at Tonic.
Had the gluten free crust for the first time and it was reasonably good. We enjoyed our pizza Jr's. There was only 1 waiter so service was a little slow initially.
I am a bit disappointed. I am sure there is a good reason. The traditional breakfast is kinda lame if you need Gluten free toast. At least it is an option.
I had the seafood gluten-free pizza. Seafood was good. I enjoyed it. Gluten-free crust tasted like saltine crackers. It's not my flavor. Crust could be better, yet I appreciate the 🙏 effort for gluten-free. Came with a separately wrapped disposable pizza knife.
It was my first time coming into this location and I was pleasantly surprised with a beautiful and inviting atmosphere, and excellence service. Ryan really made it a great experience from start to finish, she was really knowledgeable about the menu and answered any questions I had.
I order a shot of expresso, a honey coconut milk matcha and a gluten free sour dough breakfast sandwich. Being a gluten sensitive girly I was really impressed with the amount of gluten free options as well as the variety of milks I was able to choose from. For sure check this spot out if you’re near by or just want a relaxing cafe experience. Can’t wait to come back.
A little concerned about the cleanliness. 1st red flag was when I went to the rest room, I watched a server put her tab book on the floor while she used the toilet, then picked it up and laid it in the counter and to wash her hands and return to work with the same book. I watched her the entire time to make sure that book didn't come anywhere near our table. I considered speaking to a manager, but didn't want to make a scene, that book touched several other surfaces. It was disgusting. Second red flag was the toothpick that was in my sandwich was used before, it had dried sauce on the flag part that my sandwich did not have on it. Immediate turn off. My son also warned me not to drink from the cups there dried was food and smudges on inside of the clean cups. I was quite grossed out and kinda bummed I spent about $80 total (between 3 of us + $10 tip - the serve me was a sweetheart) just to bring home my sandwich and throw it in the trash.I don't think we will go back, which is sad because they have gluten free and plant based options.
Certainly not your typical brew pub! Wonderful beers on tap including the delicious Night Howler which is a lighter type of Guinness so easier to have with dinner. My wife, who is celiac, was very impressed with the gluten-friendly menu. I enjoyed the ahi tuna and, get this, an actual turkey burger!
Very nice atmosphere, tons of people, surprising menu, great beers. Don’t miss this place!
Food and service were completely on point. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. I appreciated the menu had gluten free items listed and they asked me about food allergies and informed the chef of my celiac restriction and we all had fantastic meal. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.
I got a gluten free waffle and it's very good! Most gluten free waffles are hard and literally hurt to eat, but this one is nice and fluffy! I even had to wait a few hours to eat it because I bought it before work, but it stayed soft! I'm very impressed
Sat at the bar for dinner and drinks with a friend around 5pm. It was moderately busy but not too loud, with kind of an awkwardly shaped floor plan, basically 2 hallways separated by a wall. Bartender was nice enough. I had the pear cocktail and a glass of the red sangria offered from the cocktail list; both were delicious, but the pear cocktail lacked the larger pear and ginger notes I expected from the ingredients. It mostly just tasted like a spiked sparkling lemonade; good, but not expected.
My friend and I shared a plate of the brussel sprouts after I saw reviews recommending them. They had good flavor, but my friend and I both noted how salty they were and how absolutely drenched they were in the sesame-soy sauce. We both enjoyed the sriracha aioli with them, but they made me thirsty 😬
I ordered the Peebee & Jay burger (pictured) and enjoyed it greatly!! The flavors worked great together. The beef patty had good flavor, but was definitely rare and not the medium I asked for. I didn't mind enough to ask for a replacement. The pork belly was crispy, with good flavor, maybe a little overdone. The popper fries were delicious! I felt like the little pickle nubbin' on my plate was strange and difficult to eat. I'd rather have had a spear or whole mini pickle; my friend commented on how it looked like I got stiffed with a pickle stem lol
My friend ordered the shrimp arancini (pictured) and loved it!! He told me the carrot puree was delicious and the plating was beautiful. I didn't try his food but it smelled and looked great! He also enjoyed his draft beer.
Overall, I had a good time, but I felt like there was a lot to be improved about the food and drink. I hate to be nitpicky, but after paying $63 (after 20% tip) for a modest meal at a restaurant I've heard rave reviews from locals over and over, I would've expected these smaller details to be locked down and perfected. With it's convenient location and appealing menu, I will most likely be back to give 2SP another try.
P.S. the music playlist was boppin'!
EDIT (4/11/24): Originally I had written celiac folks beware due to the "gluten friendly" label on dishes containing soy sauce. The restaurant has replied clarifying they use La Choy Gluten Free Soy Sauce. My review has been edited to reflect this and I'm happy to hear the restaurant takes allergies seriously 😁 I strive for honesty in my reviews and I thank 2SP for their clarification; I will be back! 🍴
I order delivery from them because they still have their own drivers, and they are consistently good. The food is excellent and they have a good gluten-free selection (not certified for Celiacs, just okay for the gluten intolerant who can handle cross-contamination)
Absolutely amazing food, great gluten free pizza! Came in as a walk in with a large group, and they were so kind and patient. Kristin was phenomenal!!!!!
We just had a wonderful meal here. The staff/owners were super friendly! The food was awesome and fit the bill exactly! I had the chick'n sandwich with fries, my wife had a breakfast wrap, and we shared a piece of cake. All vegan, all gluten-free, all kosher. We loved it, and we'll be back!
The Atmosphere is a little out of their control as it is in the DE-CO space. The table setup is like an old-school cafeteria, which felt welcoming, just could have been a little cleaner at the time. Again, not their fault. :)
The food was pretty good, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be very many gluten-free options for those with gluten sensitivity or allergy. Also, a little on the expensive side.
We stopped for lunch while sightseeing nearby. The kitchen staff easily accommodated our gluten and lactose intolerances. We had the chicken salad sandwich on gluten free bread, a turkey sandwich on a baguette, and a gluten free raspberry bar - delicious! Portion sizes are good and potato chips accompany sandwiches. Parking is very convenient; either on-street or right in front of the building. Comfortable seating in a nicely decorated dining area.
I hosted a 'going away' gathering here for some colleagues. The space is perfect, and Brian had Lisa and Bella reserve some tables for us. Lisa could not have been nicer or more attentive. She suggested some easy apps to share for the table, she also pointed out some Happy Hour apps that I didn't notice! This is the first time a server has done that! Very conscientious ! She was right there whenever I wanted to order more appetizers as folks filed in. And Bella was a terrific and attentive bartender. Quite a combo Lisa and Bella! The food was excellent, we had about 20 of the little sliders, irresistible, and the quesadilla, fabulous and cooked perfectly... add mozzarella sticks and crab dip with those delicious pretzels for dipping and it was a hit with my team! Delicious! She also came through with an extensive Gluten Free menu!!
I will definitely plan my next occasion at Greene Turtle Wilmington!
We had a Gift card from a few years ago and they honored it. Chef Mario loved the water bottle at the table and we will be doing that in our third restaurant soon to be opening. I had the trout special and he had the crispy chicken,to our delight hot out of the kitchen. This is the first time I ever ate a meal without needing to add salt or pepper. Our soups were delicious ,the black bean and the sweet potato . The broccoli robe with the sausage and cheese excellent.The gluten free chocolate lava cake was perfect for my diet. This was the best dining experience we have had in a long time with no feel of being rushed .Thanks for having us and hope you come to our new place to admire the water bottle on the table .
I've ordered only a few times from here and the food was always great, but I wanted to leave a review today to say thank you for taking celiac disease so seriously - I added the seaweed salad to my bowl not realizing it had gluten, and they actually called me on the phone to tell me it contained gluten.
Seriously above and beyond, I really appreciate it, you just made a customer for life!
This resturant is incredible. The atmosphere is great with the open kitchen. It was fun watching the chef fillet the bronzino. The cocktails are true craft cocktails. They make their own house syrups and fresh squeeze juice every day. 🤌 The food.....incredible. everything had so much flavor. We ordered the pork shank that fell right off the bone, and the wyagu steak that was cooked perfectly and had a great buttery texture/flavor. We had the butternut squash, great flavor. Like little candy bites.
The server was very knowledgeable about all the gluten free options as someone in our party had a strict diet. Onky 4 stars for service because they forgot the scallops that we ordered. But still impressed overall with this resturant! Will definitely go back.
We had an amazing experience! We tried the Thursday tasting menu special and it was so much fun. We got to try 12 different things on the menu. The pork belly and crab dip were amazing! The crab cake and shrimp and grits were equally delicious. There were great gluten free options. The manager was very friendly and answered all our questions. The space was both historic and modern. We would definitely come again. Even took home a Photo Booth souvenir!
Have a gluten allergy and ordered a burger with NO roll. Said it twice and cashier even repeated it. Got home…..burgers on a roll!!!!!! He didn’t put it on the order
Lovely place with coziest atmosphere! A real hidden gem of Wilmington! Nice and tidy outdoor area, a great variety of gluten-free and vegan options. Food was really flavorful and delicious, perfectly seasoned and just melting in my mouth. Highly recommend!
Unique, delicious food! I had the Tlayudas Oaxaquenas - like a Oaxaca pizza(?). It’s smothered in delicious toppings I couldn’t name and rocked my world. Adventurous and gluten free! My companion had Enchiladas Coloradas and they were also delicious.
This is the first night we ordered from here. Definitely the best Chinese we’ve tried. I had called and inquired about a sauce since I have celiacs and they were nice enough to switch out the sauce that came with the steamed dishes with a white one which was delicious. My husband loved his dinner combination too. Happy to have found a place with great food and one that accommodates for dietary restrictions !
We ordered our office lunch for 6 of us. The food arrived well packaged and was delicious. Everyone couldn't stop talking about it. The Croque Monsieur had the perfect combination of flavors (Boro Cafe even made us one with Gluten Free Bread) and they were grilled to perfection. The Cobb salads were beautiful and enjoyed. The Bacon and Egg sandwich with a side of potatoes was a great match with the sautéed onions on the potatoes. We order from Boro Cafe frequently and highly recommend them. Their pastries along with Gelato are must haves. Enjoy!
The Juice Joint was fabulous from the start. We had never been here so we called ahead to confirm that they were completely vegan. The woman who took our call had this soothing and friendly voice we were instantly intrigued. Once we found out everything was vegan, we pretty much darted there from Kirkwood Highway. Parking was a breeze and as soon as we entered this restaurant we noticed how cute and clean it was! We ordered the Fruit Punch smoothie which was hands down one of the best smoothies we’ve ever had. Perfect combination of all fruits! Our juice was fantastic as well. Both our smoothie and juice had black grapes in them which we thought was so unique and delicious. We ordered the chickpea toast and the gluten free waffle. The chickpea toast was our favorite! I don’t know how they do it but the consistency and spices in that were sooo on point. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner and she was so nice and professional. She even let us try their two lemonades which were both so tasty! Being a DE native, it is a relief to know we will now have a vegan place to eat when we are home :)
6 friends and myself came for brunch on a Saturday morning.
We were immediately greeted by an owner and our server, Jane, who offered to let us choose which table best fit our needs.
In all, we had the coffee (fantastic), pomegranate mimosa (coming back for more of those), iPA (loved it just like Jane promised we would), Brunch on Bow, Bloody Mary, and lagerita.
Jane helped us navigate the menu, assisting with gluten-free needs and substitutions. Our first time chicken and waffle adventurer loved her meal, we highly recommend the maple bacon fries and loved the bananas foster French toast, breakfast flatbread, carnitas omelet and bomboloni breakfast burger.
We were checked on by Jane, a manager, and a co-owner who were all phenomenally down to earth and hospitable. We were made aware of new menu features, Valentine’s Day events, their VIP club, happy hour specials, and a meet and greet with the second co-owner Fabio.
We will be returning very soon!
We had our rehearsal dinner here on 10/26/23 and we were BLOWN away. The way they took care of us, the setup, the food, etc. our guests couldn’t stop raving about it all. We were able to have a running slideshow of pictures of us through the years, a delicious anti pasta spread for an appetizer to start, and incredible after dinner desserts (including a gluten free option for my mother in law) to end the evening. They truly just went above & beyond to make our rehearsal dinner everything we dreamed of & more. Special thank you to Robyn & Andrea, they truly went above & beyond for us. Andrea even somehow got us white & gold napkins to match our aesthetic a couple hours before us arriving when I hadn’t gotten them. She also made me a specialized menu to put on each persons place setting. It just looked absolutely beautiful. Robinos is a Delaware staple that we’ve been going to for years but I just had to compliment their warm hospitality and how special our rehearsal dinner was. Thank you so much Mrs. Robinos!
Simply the best Thai food in the tri-state area. Their Massaman Curry is amazing, and I eat there at least once a week for lunch. Prices are very good for the quantity and quality. Service is always with a smile. Go a few times, and they will treat you like family. The ability to change the spiciness of every menu item allows a variation of your favorite dish from week to week. Be cautious, as Thai hot can be exceedingly spicy, depending on the type of peppers they use. Unlike other restaurants, spiciness does not cover up the flavor, but enhances it. I highly recommend Soybean to anyone looking for a delicious Thai meal. In addition, they do very well with food allergies, especially gluten.
