Three10 is located in a lovely house with an open kitchen and a large outdoor space. The tables are well spaced so you never feel hemmed in. The staff is professional and attentive. The menu includes imaginative preparations for their dishes, one of my favorites is the black garlic Caesar salad. The special of the day was a striped bass over polenta with guanciale and puttanesca which my husband loved. The roasted oysters prepared with bacon, collards and cornbread crumbs are wonderful. They have a dedicated gluten free fryer and most dishes can be prepared gluten free. Highly recommend!

Great experience! We had the raw oysters, peel 'n' eat shrimp, and french fries. They were all very good but as a french fry connoisseur I can say that the fries were amazing. They even have a gluten free menu (limited entree options but still worth it imo). Plus the view of the river is great.

We had reservations for 9 which was easily accommodated. The space and atmosphere was great. 4 of us ordered the butchers cut (14 oz ribeyes $45) and while they were all cooked correctly, mine wasn’t hot and they were all bland/didn’t seem to be seasoned at all and tough. My husband ordered the burger and they had a gluten free bun which was wonderful for him! The brussel sprouts and chocolate mouse cake was delicious! The server was great and the timing of food was reasonable. One reason we booked this restaurant was because they had parking on site in the parking deck, but it was full so we had to park really far away in another deck and walk which made some of our party late for our reservations so be aware of that if you’re having dinner there and not staying at the hotel.

I cannot possibly say enough amazing things about our dining experience at Seabird last night! I made a reservation online for 4 people. One friend was unable to join, so it ended up being three of us celebrating my engagement. When we arrived at our table, there was a congratulations note and an origami swam waiting for us- so sweet! Our server, Erin, was the best server I have ever had the pleasure of knowing- from start to finish, she checked on us frequently, was so kind and friendly that we all felt the warm fuzzies, knew the wine menu in and out (one of my group is a wine professional), and gave the most incredible descriptions of the food options that we all ended up overordering and enjoying everything! Food run down- - Shellem Wild Mussels- Unfortunately I was not able to try these as I’m allergic to an ingredient in them. My friend ordered them and devoured them! She gave a 5 star rating! - Fresno Chili Prok Ribs- delicious! I’m a spice wimp so they were a little hot for my taste, and my friend loved them! - Roasted Carrot Salad- what a treat! This salad had the sweetness from the carrots and carrot puree combined with a light dressing and thinly sliced limes. It was an incredible salad! - Smoked Catfish and Oyster Pie- we weren’t sure what to expect with this dish. It came in a bowl like a soup and had a baked topping on it almost like a pita/cheese layer. It was fantastic! It also came with herbs you could shred and add to it. - Shellem oysters- locally farmed, briney, so fresh! This comes with two different hot sauces, cocktail sauce, and another sauce along with lemons. - Eastern Cioppino- one friend is gluten-free and dairy-free. This dish was able to be made perfectly for her! She said this is her favorite dish to order, and our waitress said it’s the one she eats the most as well. Delicious! - We also had two cheese plates- a gouda and a blue cheese- that were delicious and great portions! - Then at the end, to celebrate my engagement, I had a scoop of lemon poppyseed ice cream! - Throughout our meal we also had a number of different glasses of wines. We were able to taste each one first, and Erin was amazing about splitting the glasses- we didn’t all want full glasses of wine, and you can’t order a half glass, so we would order a glass and be served two half glasses to share. Brilliant! Honestly, Seabird is probably the best dining experience in Wilmington. They also keep notes about what food and drink you enjoy so that when you return, the team can suggest items you may really like and keep track of things like allergies. The manager frequently checked on every table as well, and the entire team worked together seamlessly to ensure we had everything we needed at all times. We never felt rushed and were able to enjoy every minute of our dining experience.

Perfect date night! I have Celiacs and they took down that information over the phone, our waitress knew about it when we were sat, and she was very knowledgeable on what was gluten free and how accommodations could be made for me to enjoy! We made reservations and we were seated as soon as we came in. We enjoyed more than the Melting Pot, and on the plus side it was cheaper than Melting Pot (and we got drinks!). We will be back for some more in the future!

While searching for some gluten free options downtown this place popped up. Their gluten free hamburger bun was Delicious and even had poppy seeds! I had a burger with pork on top and the cheese melted perfectly with some bacon. Can't remember the name but I highly recommend it!

I'm gluten free and vegetarian and loved the dinner I had a delicious meal here! I had the smoky black bean taco and loved the soft and hard taco combo. My partner had the tequila chicken taco and southern fried steak taco. Flavors were great and we loved the chips and salsa! Chips share a fryer so there is cross contamination but it didn't bother me (not celiac).

Made reservations for 7:15 and was able to be seated nearly 30min early on a Friday night. Our waitress on the second floor was extremely attentive and friendly and made the experience 1 star better. She was knowledgeable about Gluten intolerance and celiacs, recommending certain dishes at the start of the meal. We started with the Beef Satay, Octopus, Crab Dip, and Grilled Peach and Ricotta salad. The Beef Satay was okay, pretty much just a normal beef skewer - 3.5/5. The Octopus was cooked well but would’ve been better if it had a bit more of a char on it. Overall flavors of the dish were great though with the sauces and roasted potatoes - 4:5. The Crab Dip had a nice subtle flavor that wasn’t overwhelmingly fishy - 4.5/5. The Grilled Peach and Ricotta salad was light and refreshing - 4.7/5. For our entrees we had the Seared Scallops, Seafood Paella, and The Butcher’s Cut. The Scallop entree was good but unfortunately the sauce/puree really softened the scallop so you didn’t get that nice seared texture. It also could’ve used a few flakes of salt. Overall quality was nice and the cauliflower was nice touch - 4.2/5. The Seafood Paella had good flavor. You could taste the different spices and all of the seafood had a good cook on it. A few pieces of the sausage in this dish were a bit on the tough side - 4.8:5. The Butcher’s Cut would’ve easily been a 4.8 if they had not pre-sliced the steak ahead of time. By the time it reached the table it was a bit on the drier side. The butter helped a bit, but would’ve preferred the cut of meat to be whole instead - 3.6/5. We ordered two additional sides for the table, the asparagus and duck fat potatoes. The asparagus was 4/5. The duck fat potatoes were 4.8/5. Lastly, we ordered a crème brûlée, coffee and wine. The crème brûlée was a solid 4.8/5. The coffee was amazing according to my table mate who ordered it. Our waitress also had a very impressive table-side pour for it. Overall would give our visit a 4.6/5 rating. Will definitely come back again.

RX Chicken and Oysters offers an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The restaurant's interior design is warm and inviting with an artistic flair. The service is exceptional, with a staff that goes above and beyond to ensure guests feel welcomed and cared for. The food menu shines with delicious, creative dishes that utilize fresh, high-quality ingredients. On our recent visit, we began with Lucy Bea's oysters, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. For our main courses, my husband ordered the fried chicken, collard greens, and mac and cheese, while I had the fish and pork tacos. Everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. My husband raved about his chicken and sides, and I loved the tacos' combination of tastes and textures. The sweet potato fries with their dipping sauce were the ideal accompaniment. We were delighted that the staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating regarding my gluten sensitivity. To finish our meal on a sweet note, we shared the ice cream with chocolate covered bacon - an ingenious and tasty dessert. From start to finish, RX Chicken and Oysters impressed us with their outstanding food, stellar service, and inviting ambiance. We can't wait to return soon.

Excellent pizza, crispy wings and 1/2 price burgers on a Wednesday night. East coast IPA was tasty. We make our own dough and pizzas at home in a pizza oven. These pizzas were the best we’ve had in the area. Simple Sicilian style pizzas good sauce, nice tasting crust. No garlic after taste is a plus. We had a lovely waitress and she took our order. You can do on phones as well but this was definitely a better option. Wish I got her name. Atmosphere- we sat in bar, it’s a bar. There are other areas to sit in. It’s was a rainy night so wasn’t crazy busy. Will return Almost forgot … I have a gluten free kid so having options for her was an added bonus

My wife and I had lunch here this past Saturday and enjoyed it she had the wild bunch burger and I had the rebellion burger and we both agreed they were good. She was brought out the wrong burger at first and on a regular bun (she can’t eat gluten) but they were quick to get the correct one and on the gluten free bun. They have a cheerwine bbq sauce that I would recommend and they are veteran owned. I was recommended to go here from a friend and I would definitely recommend to others!

From the moment someone else’s trout dip landed on our table to the end of our evening, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole Dram Yard experience. Amanda was our guide for the evening and she did awesome! One of our party was gluten free and she made sure he was aware of even the slightest cross-contamination so that he had the same fantastic experience as the rest of us. I had the pork chop - incredibly succulent with some crispy edges that gave it a bacon-essence. My only complaint was that there should have been more cabbage because that was AMAZING. The whole dish was really well balanced. My husband had the duck, which can be gamey at times - but not this time. The golden beet puree, potatoes and Demi-glacé made the dish incredible. The blend of flavors was a perfect marriage. One of the BEST duck dishes he’s ever had - top three for sure. My girlfriend had the lamb ravioli with a mint yogurt sauce - also a delicious combination. I should also mention the craft cocktails. The bartender has a gift of blending savory and sweet with the spirits they chose. We each chose something different and all were exceptional. All in all, our best dining experience yet in Wilmington and is definitely worth a do-over. We give this a 5-star and a promise to be back soon. Thank you Dram Yard! And thank you Amanda!
