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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yum! They had a ton of gluten free options! These scallops were amazing, sweet, and crispy on the outside (just the way I love them). The outdoor seating was perfect for the cool May evening, hope to be back again on my next work trip.
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!!!!!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
My husband and I hosted our wedding reception of 30 people here this weekend and absolutely loved it. It was a pleasure working with Admin, the events manager, and having every detail taken care of in regards to menu options, drinks, gluten free options and even dietary speciality meals for specific family members. We felt very well taken care of and the food was amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our small wedding reception.
Gianni’s Pizza in Wilmington is one of those places that the locals frequent. I know this because locals turned me on to the place, and for good reason. This is a classic Italian eatery for great thin-crust pizza (many, many to choose from) by the pie or slice, fantastic cheesesteaks and loaded subs. The business here is quite robust in this rather small pie-wedge shaped brick building. There is seating available outside and on the second floor. Gluten-free pizza dough is also available. Highly recommended.
We chose Harry’s Savoy Grill for my mom’s 70th birthday dinner, and sadly, it was a letdown. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt off. The stares we received upon walking in made it clear that African Americans dining there might not be the norm — very strange and uncomfortable. It gave off “rally” vibes that left us feeling out of place.
The noise level was unbearable, thanks to a table next to us that was clearly over-served. The staff didn’t seem to address it, even though it was obvious everyone was ready for them to leave.
The food was mediocre at best. The only vegan option was a hollowed-out squash with under-seasoned beans spilling over the plate — bland and unappetizing. No gluten-free pasta options were available, and the potatoes tasted like a bowl of oil. For a restaurant positioned as upscale, the food and overall experience were disappointing.
The only bright spot was being able to spend time with my family and celebrate my mom’s milestone, but I won’t be back. Definitely not worth the hype — next time, I’ll be paying closer attention to the reviews.
I was so impressed with the service at Capers & Lemons, particularly for catering to dietary restrictions. I was with colleagues and because I generally do not trust restaurants to have GF options, I had fully planned on just having something to drink and skipping lunch.
However, the server was knowledgeable about what could and couldn't be prepared gluten-free, as well as realistic about the risk of cross-contamination. I'm a super sensitive celiac and opted not to risk the GF pasta, but the kitchen was able to prepare me a baked chicken breast to put on a plain salad.
Despite being minimally-seasoned chicken on a plain house salad, I thought it was delicious! The chicken was moist and flavorful. The food my colleagues got looked amazing as well. There was GF/DF lemon sorbetto which was perfect for a hot day - I couldn't finish it, but it was so good. Altogether it was nice to be able to enjoy lunch and dessert safely.
Also, the ambiance was super cool. Loved the decor, in particular the unique light fixture in the dining room.
Highly recommend this restaurant.
We decided to go a little bit off the beat and path for our daughter's UD graduation lunch and let me just say WOW!! Exceeded my expectations on every level. Food was fantastic, service was excellent, quality of food was great, personalized service, able to accommodate my celiac, atmosphere was perfect and great bourbon selection!!
Highly, highly recommend!! Cannot express my gratitude enough for this restaurant and it's team!!
What a wonderful Wilmington gem! Chic vibe, great staff, good coffee, and even Gluten Free wraps! Definitely one of my favorite breakfast places in the Wilmington area!
I have been a couple times and had veal parmesan (made without breadcrumbs for a gluten friendly dish). And it was fabulous each and every time! The risotto side dish is excellent and I am glad it isnt pasta! I wish I could comment on other entrees, but it's so good I just keep getting it again!
The place is small and cozy and very decorated. They are generally open for dinner, with take out available most days for lunch. Check hours and closed days before you go.
Owner and staff are friendly and welcoming. I was surprised they remembered us from our first visit.
Ill be back again!
My family and I decided to make reservations at this restaurant after being there several times before with excellent service we were happy to return. But I can’t say that we had excellent service or a excellent experience this time. It all started with a person in our party that has a gluten allergy not being catered to by the restaurant when they offer gluten free buns and were not able to produce any due to “the chef doesn’t have any fresh ones”. The waitress we had was doing three jobs and did not have the time to attend to a larger party like she should have. The bar music was so loud you couldn’t think. I could keep on going but at this point I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
