“ This place was just simply amazing. The atmosphere, food and drinks are something special. Live music on the patio, but required a reservation, so plan accordingly. Excellent service and attention to detail is on point. It is such an experience for your senses, beautiful decor and the drinks are like works of art. Food is just amazing. Just watching the bartender make these fascinating drinks is awesome. Burning rosemary, omg, the smell of rosemary is so intoxicating, well to me anyway. Go check it out, you will love it. ”
“ One of the best in house prepped, infused, then crafted cocktail menu in Wilmington. The smoked Old Fashion was incredible. Has a really cool speak-easy vibe to this establishment and is absolutely visualizing stunning. Oh, has a really cool fire pit out back with has an great view of the city. Do keep in mind that the menu doesn't have "entree's," it's more a family style menu. So basically has things that are ment to be split up and shared, but the food was really good! Beef Tenderloin slider's were an A, the fired brussel sprouts are great and the pizza is made in a stone oven, thin crust and full of flavor. If your thinking about visiting, don't think anymore...you won't be disappointed. ”
