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!

This was a lovely place to eat lunch in Wilmington! I’m gluten-free and the staff were so helpful at explaining their kitchen practices, I felt so safe and happy having many options. I had their salsa sampler which was amazing, their salsa is so bright and refreshing. I also had the jerk shrimp tostada with coconut rice, both were stellar! So fresh and flavorful! Highly recommend Savorez to anyone in the area!

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.

This place is excellent! Small, so you might have to wait. Let me save you some time... get the fried chicken. It is outstanding! Gluten free burger was excellent too (according to my wife) Chicken pot pie looked delicious.

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.

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

Let me start off by saying WOW; Manna was such an INCREDIBLE experience! The quality of service matched every ounce of the quality of the food! We thoroughly enjoyed having Stephanie as our waitress, she’s the best waitress I’ve ever had, amazing knowledge about the food, very personable and fun too…She even walked us to their speakeasy up the street to make sure we found it after dinner! Alden the sommelier is just as wonderful, we loved her selections and knowledge she shared with us about wine! They both truly made the experience all the more amazing! Now let’s talk about the food, delicious doesn’t say enough!!! We all thoroughly loved the quality and creative blends of the flavors! We chose the creamed corn, shishito peppers, and fruit salad as our apps! We had the chicken, steak, and fish as our main entrees! For dessert the upside down peach cake really impressed us and the ganache was l rich and full of creative flavors! The Meghan Markle Sparkle was my favorite cocktail they made but the espresso martini did not disappoint either! My best friend has celiacs and the kitchen as well as Stephanie did a great job on what selections she could eat and it was awesome that the majority of the menu was gluten free! Again it was overall an outstanding experience, we will be back! Thank you!

My friends food looked and smelled delicious! I had a egg and turkey bacon sandwich on GF bread. They did have a special area where they prepped gluten free meals, but choices were limited since I am sensitive. The waitress was knowledgeable about what I could have and helped navigate the menu and left notes for the chef.

We went here for dinner for the first time yesterday afternoon (we visit Wilmington a couple of times annually). My wife has celiac disease and is also allergic to tomatoes. The staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating; the food and service were outstanding! We highly recommend The Copper Penny for both celiac and non-celiac!

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!

I went here when I went for a river cruise. I cannot have gluten or dairy. But l bought the roast beef sandwich (minus the bread and cheese.) I got the pound. It was amazing. Had some left over and even was delicious reheated and with my gluten free bread. Worth it! Waiter was nice.
