Ian was our server. He was lovely. We sat by the window so that was fun for people watching. They play fun music here, 80-90's I think. Our dinner was SO GOOD. We both got salmon and the Whipped ricotta appetizer. The ricotta was delicious and I loved that it came with mint leaves. It was delicious and we scarfed that down with our beers. I had Marigold Hefe isen, which was DELICIOUS. So I had 2. They had a fantastic wine list and I was going to get a white wine from Chile but at $14, I didn't want to blow my dates wallet out. So instead I had the 2 beers. Let's talk about our delicious salmon. It was cooked perfect and served w cut asparagus on a bed of buttery orzo. I ate every little asparagus piece, it was so good and lemon butter flavored. The salmon was a lightly grilled piece of heaven. A big piece. I was a little miffed it had no lemon slice but the entire salmon was basted or braised with a lemon sauce. Every bite was divinely lemon. It was probably the best salmon I've ever had. Such a lovely visit. Nice interior and spacious and people seemed to be having fun at the bar. This location is a very lovely place! read more

This DTR location is an attractive spot, especially the garden/fountain area outside. It is a great date night or friends night out spot for sure. The wine selection is impressive and they have great cocktails, typically seasonal rotating options as well. I enjoyed the caviar and chips option, flatbread pizza, and brussels. It was martini night which was a great deal on traditional martinis and the cosmo was delicious. The drawback to this location is parking can be difficult, so plan accordingly for your arrival time in case you have to search for street parking. read more

I do love the location of this restaurant it's in the heart of Southend + it's very easy to walk to! When I walked in the server was very attentive, asked what kind of wine I normally like and what entrée I was planning on ordering to help make the best wine recommendations! When I told him I was planning on ordering the gnocchi, he made three different recommendations and allowed us to taste all three prior to making a glass selection! Wine was great + we definitely enjoyed the server's pairings. I would skip the food though! Gnocchi was mushy, tasteless and definitely was not appealing. We asked the server to surprise us for the second entree and the server stated the lamb was the most popular so we were expecting lamb but somehow ended up with salmon. The salmon was not great either as it was not seasoned. It is very vibey and good for a date night or a place to grab a drink. I would just get drinks though- food was not good. read more

Summer on a plate. Creamy burrata paired with sweet, juicy peaches, peppery arugula, and a bright fruit-forward drizzle that ties everything together. Every bite hits that perfect balance of sweet, savory, creamy, and fresh. If you're looking for a lighter starter that still feels indulgent, this one's an easy order. read more

Beautiful local restaurant with an incredible wine list and a fantastic bar. Warm ambiance, friendly service, creative tapas-style menu

Absolutely love this place. Great for date nights or fine dining. love their wine choices. The Sunday brunch is hit and is a must try in the city read more

Where do I even begin. I've been going to Dilworth for at least 15 years, and one thing I've always loved is the seasonal menu updates, so I'm completely open to change. Unfortunately, this latest menu feels like a big step back. So many longtime staples are gone: no fries, no Brussels, no burrata, no flatbreads, and even the steak has disappeared from the mains. What's left feels repetitive, with multiple dishes centered around the same basmati rice and salad combination. We also tried the two new "for the table" additions, and neither felt worth the price. The "caviar" is simply roe at $25, and the deviled eggs with roe at $17 were underwhelming. Unless some of the old favorites return or there's more variety added, I don't see myself coming back anytime soon, aside from maybe Flight Night. read more

Great neighborhood bar, with lots of locals and a nice busy but chill atmosphere. I just loved this place the minute I walked in. The bar was a big attraction, they also had great outdoor seating in the front and a really nice patio off to the back . Inside seating also nice. Big red couches were super cool ! The menu is awesome ! So many cocktails and ones I can't find in a lot of bars that I love . Brownie points for that! The food menu is great too, small plates and larger and nice bar food not your usual greasy fare. More Mediterranean vibe on the food. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were cool and laid back and engaging without being overly so. We had the Bijou and the vieux carre cocktails which I find hard to find in most really good bars. Here they were and made really well too. I know they require ingredients not all bars carry or can get in NC. We also had the Naan app which comes with tzatziki and the naan had a nice layer of zaatar spice on it . Went well with out drinks. I loved the Bijou . Such a good spirit forward drink. The bartender gave us a complementary shot of a bijou based drink. Had a little cinnamon to it but was good ! Nice touch as we were leaving ! We had a great time here before our next spot. Loved everything about this place, will definitely be back. read more

Wow wow wow!! Now this is a new favorite spot! This place was so good. Tapas style wine bar with a huge cocktail and wine menu. The food was great and needless to say, the foodie in me loves tapas because I get to try a little bit of everything. There are so many things I want to try next time I go like the burrata, truffle mushroom flatbread, and phyllo cheese rolls. Great date spot or dinner with girl friends. If the weather is nice, definitely sit in the garden. It is so cute and honestly made the experience. Service was good. read more

Went to try DTR for the first time during restaurant week! The inside of the restaurant has such a cool vibe and fun decor. It's very moody and would be a good date night spot! The food was amazing and we felt like we got such a great value for the Queen's Feast special they were offering. The service was good and everyone was kind. It was three of us in total and we enjoyed catching up together and participating in restaurant week here. read more

Dilworth was an awesome experience. They have a diverse variety of small plates to choose from. I recommend grabbing some of your friends and just ordering an assortment. The humus was my favorite. They are all flavored so well. Service was good but nothing too notable. We had to ask a couple times to ask what some things are as they didn't seem to review the food as it was delivered. We sat outside on the patio. The weather was perfect and we had a great experience. read more

If you go here, please book a reservation for the garden patio! A reservation inside the restaurant and the garden patio seem like two different places, with the garden patio having an outside wooden bar, koi pond with live fish, great greenery and nice lights to create a cute atmosphere. Food is more hand food than anything, but delicious and the drinks are unique and tasty. Be aware, allergies may flare up because of the outdoor setting with flowers, algae, and greenery, but it's worth it. read more

ADORABLE place with beautiful outdoor seating. The food was a bit expensive but so delicious!!! We ordered the BEST charcuterie board, and the meatballs were very solid and juicy. Serving sizes are not big, so you'll need to order a few dishes. The service was alright, nothing exceptional, but no complaints. Overall 10/10 date spot! read more

All I have to say is wow!!! Came here for a date night and would 100% visit again! My partner made a reservation in advance which I would strongly recommend as it was quite busy for a Monday night. I can see why though, the ambiance was so lovely- I adored sitting near the koi pond on the outside garden patio! The flatbread came out first (we ordered it without olives) and it was perfect. Loved my drink as well- it had great flavor (was not overpowered by the spirits used). The gnocci was delightful, although I agree with another reviewer than it could've used an additional flavor note to make the taste deeper/richer (gets a little redundant the more you eat). The Brussels sprouts were the real show stopper... they were bursting with flavor and the combination of the textures (crispy, melt in your mouth, plus a crunch from pecans) was unbeatable! They also reheated well the next day as leftovers. read more

Coming here since everywhere else was packed, I thought to try this place out since it was raved about. Dilworth Tasting Room is a neighborhood type of restaurant. Drinks, small plates, etc. It's a spot where you get drinks, get drunk, then walk home. They have a limited menu, tapas, and that's about it. If you're coming here for a full meal (as I was) this isn't really the type of place to do it. When we got here, we were seated. It was absolutely freezing in the restaurant. I think the seating in the basement contributed to that. This place used to be a billiards spot, but it has been transformed into a neighborhood restaurant. We got the Tuna Carpaccio, Truffle Gnocchi, Truffle Chips, Shroom Flatbread, and the Prosciutto flatbread. All of that we were full, but I think the experience was soured by the amount of waiting to get our food. I would say this place is again more focused on drinks and less about food. Bar food, and drinks is what keeps this place going and the food is definitely a secondary income. I would say this place is mediocre as far as that, but great for the vibes if you're bar hopping. I most likely won't be coming back to visit, but I would recommend this place if you live nearby and you want drinks with friends. read more

Had a girls night out at DTR at the recommendation of one of my friends. We sat inside due to it being chilly but apparently the patio has the best seating. We had a reservation as did most everyone else coming in. This place fills up quick! We each had a glass of wine to start. Glasses are in the 11-14$ range. There are at least 5 reds and 5 whites to choose from. There are also plenty of bottles available for purchase. We split a few small plates: the truffle chips, honey shrimp , and burrata. The food was really good and easy to share. I loved the big portion of burrata .. was definitely enough for 3 of us. The truffle chips were perfectly crisp and came with an aioli. Service was efficient but our main waitress appeared brusque. In fact when she approached us about our check we all looked at each other and commented that it felt like we were being kicked out. All in all a good spot. Looks excellent for date nights too! Street parking was surprisingly easy. Will be back. read more

Our go to date night! The ambiance is amazing. Sit outside on the patio, it is a garden with a koi fish pond and very intimate. They have heaters if you go during winter. Inside looks more lively and fun for a friends night out. The service is always great, the waiters are all attentive and knowledgeable. We always get a bottle of wine. They have a ton of wine options, both by the bottle and by glass. They also have beer and cocktail options. They have a menu with entree options but we always get a large charcuterie bird and an appetizer to split. It is always plenty of food and delicious! read more

After some years I finally decided to check out this restaurant to see if it would live up to all the chatter I've heard about it. The restaurant provided great service from beginning to end. Having this visit being my first, we went with the staff's recommendations. The drinks are top tier and the water is refreshing. Which is a good indication of what to expect. Started off with a Teppurr Tantrum then had another...This drink is a vibe. Next time I'll try their Old Fashion. Extensive wine list too for the brave. Drinks are pricey so prepare for sticker shock. Seating though comfortable, the couches did sits low to the table. Get in the habit of sitting up straight!! Chips were light and crisp and none were burnt. Truffle was mild in flavor. The Brussels sprouts weren't my favorite as they're not crispy. How it's prepared gives it a lack of texture. RiRa and Mizu have far better preparations. Disappointed in the lamb meatballs as they were dry and quite gamey but seasoned well. Consider offering few more pitas as well on that dish. Never had Gnocchi before and these were pillow soft. The dish was all one note and needed a texture to make it memorable. Go for the drinks and the vibe and definitely book a reservation. read more

Dinner at DTR with the whole family! Did not disappoint. Kayla is a phenomenal waitress and treated us like VIP's. She goes above and beyond each time we come, but topped herself yet again. We met the amazing chef who creates the best whipped feta EVER and she was extremely kind to our 5 year old granddaughter, Airlie, with an umbrella in her juice and supported her impromptu "I'm going to be a waitress, too, tonight". Frank is a gem and David recommended the best drink! He's a mixing master! DTR has become our go to, our "Cheers", where everybody knows your name and the staff quickly becomes family. If you've never been...go! Order ANYTHING and be prepared for an experience. read more

Came here with a large group of friends and enjoyed everything about the experience. Because it's mostly small plates, the price when sharing is VERY reasonable. The truffle gnocchi is the show stopper. It's heavy, filling and rich, but absolutely delicious. The DTR salad is another surprising delight. I would go back in a minute. read more

Wow this place is such a gem! The vibes are so cozy and classy. Perfect for a date, girls night, or a group get together. Plus, they take reservations.

I highly recommend the Prosciutto and Brie Flatbread, Burrata, and Truffle Gnocchi. I would skip the Thai Chili wings. I can't wait to come back! read more

We had reservations for DTR for Saturday at 6:00 PM, early dinner so we can go to a listening club later that evening. Service was awesome. Lonnice was an awesome server, and the support she received from the manager in the red velvet coat was totally supportive. It was clear that managers were there to support their staff to insure that the experience was awesome for us. Manager helped us with Wine Pairings and food groupings. Super helpful! The vibe was very laid back and not pretentious. Only additional comment I would make is that if you are a bigger diner, sitting in the area in front of the bar may not be the best choice as the spacing between tables and seats can be tight. Still passable, but nevertheless tight. I will definitely go back to this one or try one of the other DTR's in the future. Well Done! read more

This is the OG location as the server put it and I've passed it so many times but never visited. This spot is very quaint and intimate and romantic. It can be a girls night out or a hot date and night cap. Ordered the olives and chips and everything is shareable over either wine or cocktails. They have been around a long time so the ambiance and service reflects that. We were immediately greeted and did not need reservations this particular evening so we were seated immediately. Spacious so you're not in your neighbors convo. Will return for sure. read more

I've been dying to visit this place for a few months but reservations weren't available when I wanted to visit in the past . Reservation: Highly recommended. Reserve the patio if you can. Parking: 1/5 Horrible. Street parking is available but very limited. The restaurant is in a residential area which doesn't allow many spaces for parking. I had to drive around 3xs before I found a space. Cocktail: Pornstar Martini 5/5 it was sooooo good I had to order two of them Lamb meatballs: 4/5 the lamb meatballs were the perfect size and very tasty. The pita bread tasted delicious with the sauce from the meatballs. Brussel sprouts: 5/5 AH-MAZING the Brussels were cooked to perfection with an amazing sauce and pecans.Highly recommend Service: 4/5 Our waiter wasn't as attentive as I would have liked and we had to keep asking him for things. We did have to wait for longer than expected for our food but it was worth the wait. Overall, I enjoyed my visit beside the parking issue.

Great apps (bruschetta and hummus), service was very slow but probably an isolated waiter. Cool spot.

I decided to my good friend here and have a drink and a meal. The restaurant is small in size but there is an outside patio that being utilized by several customers. I decided to wait for my friend at the bar although I did have a reservation for two. The tables were really close to the other customers so I asked if we could sit at the bar instead. The hostess allowed for us to sit at the bar and then were quickly greeted by the bartender. They have good high quality ingredients. They used freshly squeezed oranges for my OJ in my drink. That was a nice twist from the overly sweetened OJ in the grocery store cartons. I ordered a vodka, OJ, and Pineapple for myself. To eat I ordered the Hanger Steak medium and my friend ordered the Truffle Gnocchi. My food came out in a reasonable time but my friend's food did not come out until I was nearly finished with my meal. The servings are not that big so we both finished rather quickly and then I decided to order an additional item. We then split the mushroom flatbread. If you are hungry when you arrive you will still want something else when you leave. Don't get me wrong, the food and drinks were great, but the portions left a lot to be desired. But this place is a good start to ones night if you are going to continue eating and drinking throughout the evening or day. read more

If you are hungry, I would not come here. Service is slow and it took approx 40 minutes for our food to be served. This place is more about ambiance and talking to your companions. Food - Shroom flatbread: this was a cheese pizza with some mushrooms. The truffle oil was overwhelmed by the amount of cheese. I would pass on this. Prosciutto and brie flatbread: my favorite of the night. It was a good balance of creaminess of brie, sweetness of the apricot, saltiness of the prosciutto, and bitterness of the arugula. Burratta / Bruschetta - Fresh cheese and tomatoes. Truffle chips - I'm not sure what we expected of this. It felt like store bought chips drowned in parmesan. The aioli was flavorful with the truffle. No truffle flavor was detected in the chips. Tuna carpaccio - my second favorite of the night. It was a good balance of flavors. The tuna tasted fresh. Truffle gnocchi - very garlicky, creamy, cheesy and truffle-y. It is enjoyable but it gets heavy the more you eat it though. I like neighborhood restaurants as walking to dinner is a great concept. Parking is street parking. read more
