Mexican street corn
Kim M.

I have heard great things about this place and decided to try it out. We ordered two Burrito California entrees with chicken and a side of verde sauce, two Mexican street corn and seafood enchiladas. The burrito was so yummy filled with cheese, rice and sour cream...could not finish it! The Mexican street corn was wrapped in foil and still hot and steamy with cheese, mayo, butter, and chili powder - amazing! We also got a bag of chips and a side of guacamole / it was so fresh. We absolutely loved everything - will be ordering from here again!

Tortillas for the table

Parking: residential street so you may not find parking. I suggest parking some place close by and perhaps catching an uber but then this just makes the meal too expensive. Wear some comfortable shoes! Atmosphere: noisy Service: ok Drinks: Top shelf Margaritas were good Food: fajitas were tasty and flavorful Overall: would come back but wouldn't rush

We've been finding little hidden gems within the city of Wilmington; this is definitely one of them. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, yup! You are looking in the right direction. Bring your friends and family, the environment is great for all. A Saturday evening, we were seated right away. Now it did start to get busy, so we came right on time. Their agua de Horchata was right on. Chips and salsa while you wait - nice service. Our orders were taken right away and were brought out in good time. Food portions are nice, large plates. I grabbed myself a salad, y Mi Mujer grabbed herself an alambre de camaron, both dishes were delicious! The shrimp has a nice spice to it, but not super hot. We'll definitely be back! Maybe next time we'll try an alcoholic drink.

Michelada- authentic Mexican beer cocktail

Great Mexican food and a delicious michelada (Mexican beer cocktail). Friendly service and worth the drive - even from Pennsylvania!

While staying in the hotel we were lucky enough to get up early and have breakfast before our big…read moreday at the Point-to-Point at Winterthur. Amanda, our server, was a ray of sunshine and was especially attentive to our little one. she has a grandchild and relished the special time our daughter had while eating away from home. The layout is pretty basic with a series of long high-top tables with a few lower tables to boot. I asked for a spicy Blood-Mary and that's exactly what I received ! Well done! Other breakfast items came as ordered and all of the food was very good . Prices were fair and we really enjoyed our time there and whenever in the area would definetly return.

We stayed in The Westin for a week and ate here a few times. We ordered room service and ate in the…read morerestaurant as well as just had drinks at the bar. The food is delicious and seasoned very well. It was better than many of the offsite restaurants we tried. Everyone there is so friendly and we got to know many of the servers, bartenders, etc. Kudos to Tiera, Victoria and Amanda who are all awesome! During our visits, we had the pan seared salmon, grilled pork chop, crab eggrolls and fried mozzarella. The salmon and pork chop were delicious! The eggrolls had a great crab flavor and a sauce that had a slight kick. There is inside and outside seating. I recommend River Rock Kitchen if you are staying at the hotel or in the area.

Delicious food with robust wine selection. Steak frites was spot on and service was friendly,…read moreattentive and helpful. Cool atmosphere with moderate noise level.

We were excited to learn that there was a new French restaurant that didn't require traveling to…read morethe city. I wish I could say I was excited after dining there for the first time but I have to say I was left somewhat disappointed. I can overlook most things, but when dining out i go for the food. And the food was just OK. We started out with cocktails. Two of us ordered from the unique signature cocktail menu and one of us just decided to have their usual Kir Royale. Of these three drinks, the Kir Royale was the best. Neither of the others thought that their drink was so great that they would order it again. A young man showed up at our table with three small dishes, asking, "Are you familiar with amuse bouche"? Yes I am. I don't need an 18 or year old to try to make me feel like he knows more than I do. It was condescending at best and just pretentious. He explained it was compressed cantaloupe with a mint oil and a touch of salt. If I had closed my eyes, I never in a million years would have tasted anything except a little bit of salt and a little bit of water. It was flavorless. For appetizers, we shared the snails, the rabbit poutine, and the foie gras. Both the snails and the poutine came with a sauce, and the servers almost insisted on pouring the sauce over the appetizer. One of us opted to stop the server because why would you bring it on the side and then not let me elect how I want it on there. That just did not make sense. There's no theater here you're just pouring. The snails were served in a vol-au-vent and were kind of lost in the too tall puff pastry. Both the snails and the poutine were lacking some serious flavor. The best bite of the appetizers was the piece of foie gras which was served on a comparatively mammoth-sized sleepy zucchini bread and with pickled local strawberries. I didn't care for the combination and for the price, the two bite piece of foie gras was not worth it. (understand you can drive 3 miles to a restaurant that puts more of it on a burger for that equivalent price.-plus you get an 8 oz burger). The pickled strawberry did not work either. We also order the "bread service." I don't like paying for bread but was intrigued by the bone marrow butter upsell. For $20 you get 5 slices of bread, some salted butter, and at most a tablespoon of bone marrow butter. Skip it. Not worth it. For entrées, we ordered the salmon and the duck for two. The salmon was supposed to be seared, but the presentation side looked more like it had been steamed or poached. Perhaps they seared the skin side, but this particular diner did not like salmon skin, so that was lost on it. The diner did not like couscous, which was the side that came with this dish so they asked for the pomme puree as a substitute. The potato purée was also lacking seasoning and of course we got charged $8 for the substitution even though this potato purée is a side for other entrées. The server who took our order recommended the duck. I'm a big fan of duck so our other dining partner indulged me and shared this entrée with me. The duck came with two breasts, two confit legs, baby carrots, cooked in duck fat and a frisée salad. This was probably enough for three people because we took home 1/4 of a duck breast, a whole leg and plenty of carrots. The duck breast was well rendered of the fat, and the skin was crispy. I like a medium rare duck breast but the underside was very rare as if it was never flipped in the pan. The leg was delicious (probably tossed in the deep fryer before serving to crisp the skin) but the carrots were heavy with fat. Very little frisée was served (almost as a garnish ) and it really needed more of it that acid from the dressing to lighten things up. Again the server tried to pour the sauce that came with it over the breast without asking if I wanted it first. I stopped them because I know how much I want and I know where I want it. I don't need you to do that for me. One cocktail, one appetizer and one entree per person was $100 per person on average. No tax in DE Service here is amateurish with training. I have already cited a few things. The waitress who took our order poured water for each of us spilling a significant amount when pouring one glass, said I'm sorry I misjudged. Bad depth perception, she said and continued on with her opening spiel which we got to hear in almost the exact same fashion as she greeted other tables. No offering to change the tablecloth of its two foot diameter circle of wetness. She just kept it moving. We came dressed business casual. We were the best dressed there. Lots of shorts and casual wear. This is not a fancy place. People appear to come as they are. I just did not get that I want to come back here feeling. Service was not great. Food was just ok and not ok for the price. Atmosphere is more American bar than French bistro. I am not super charged to go back.
