We've been coming to this restaurant for about 20 years, ever since we moved to Hockessin. Back…read morethen there weren't many great dining options nearby, so this quickly became our go-to place for special occasions. Over time we started sitting at the bar and eventually became regulars. The staff has always been wonderful and the drinks are consistently excellent. In the past few years we've started dining here more often because the food quality has noticeably improved. Whoever the current chef is has really elevated the menu. One standout for me is the vegetarian entrée, usually a squash dish with grains, seeds, seeds, cheese, and other seasonal ingredients. It's absolutely delicious. It's not easy to find restaurants that execute vegetarian dishes well, but they really do it right here. My husband almost always orders the burger and loves it. The crab cakes have also been a longtime favorite of mine -- they're packed with crab and very little filler, which is exactly how they should be. Service is consistently good, and we especially enjoy seeing our favorite server, Diana. One thing we have noticed over the years is that the restaurant seems to go through managers fairly often. We've never had issues with previous managers. In fact, we liked several of them very much. However, the current manager gives off a noticeably tense and unwelcoming vibe. She's often visible in the dining room and behind the bar, but frequently appears upset or glaring, which unfortunately makes the atmosphere feel uncomfortable. I also genuinely hope that the staff isn't experiencing that same tension behind the scenes, because the servers and bartenders here have always been excellent and deserve a positive work environment. In all the years we've been coming here, we've never needed to involve a manager because the staff handles things very well and keeps everything running smoothly. Recently, though, we were surprised by some small add-on charges. $5 for a side of vegetable sticks with an appetizer and $7-$8 for a side of fries. Those prices felt excessive for such simple sides. I'm not sure if this is the new grumpy manager's decision or the owner's, but that's almost as bad as a credit card fee which they do not charge. Thank goodness. I mean I get maybe $1 or $2 up charge for that stuff but $5 no. We truly love this restaurant and have supported it for two decades. The food, drinks, and staff keep us coming back. We just hope the management style can match the warm, welcoming experience that has always made this place special.

My friend and I dined here in tonight. We were sat promptly with our 6:00 reservation. Someone came…read moreover shortly after to fill our water glasses and they mentioned our server would be with us shortly. About twenty minutes later nobody had come over and the restaurant wasn't all that busy. A couple sat down around that time next to us who within a few minutes was visited by a server and given fresh bread. We waited another ten minutes until a little after 6:30 before going to the hostess who told us she'd let someone know. A few minutes later the server who was serving the couple directly next to us came to us, apologized and started our evening. We both ordered the scallop and shrimp risotto and a few minutes later our server came to tell us they were out of scallops. That happen but it's better if the server tells you up front what they are out of. I ended up still getting the risotto with double shrimp instead of both proteins and my friend got the short rib. She said the short rib was very tender. My food was good too. I had the bourbon mule to drink and it was too sweet for my tastes. The ambience was ok but I sort of got a negative vibe from the 30+ minute wait for a server who was inches away from us and didn't notice we weren't being served.

The first time I went there was in 2009 on the recommendation of a friend who used to have a Japanese restaurant. With job changes, going back to school, and plunging headfirst into a turbulent new career with multiple job changes, I never got back there until 2022. And guess what? They remembered me! The staff is genuinely friendly. They remember what I like, and a few times I've described dishes that weren't on the menu--and they made them perfectly. They actually listen, and that level of care is rare. The wine and beer selection fits my tastes really well, which is a nice bonus. Every time I visit, the atmosphere is happy and relaxed. I often see other customers come in and get greeted like old friends, and it's clear this place means something to a lot of people. It's not just a meal--it's a place that lifts your mood. Okura has become one of my favorite spots. Friendly people, great food, and a warm, welcoming vibe every time.

In the rear of the shop, past the fine cheeses, freshly baked baguettes, and clam chowder that is to die for, Chef Mark has a small kitchen area and raised settings for 10 lucky people to sit, watch and learn as Chef Mark and his Sous Chef Ethan prepare a themed menu upon which the class participants get to enjoy. And enjoy is truly an understatement!!!! I've taken three of the classes and have booked three more. My first class was Italian steak which began with a hearty white bean, escarole, and sausage soup, followed by a fresh and balanced panzanella salad, which the class dined happily on while Chef Mark prepared the main event. It was a 2+ inch thick steak topped with Gorgonzola cheese and a caramelized onion sauce. The taste, size, and quality of this steak was not to be believed!!! Chef Mark must have some deep connection to the Beef Gods themselves. In short, a magnificent meal where I met some very nice people, learned a lot from Chef Mark who is low key but very personable and full of entertaining stories of his life and career as a chef including tips on buying quality, healthy, ingredients!! My last class was a Greek themed class. It began with a tasty starter of slices of his fantastic, and freshly made baguettes and a dipping sauce of whipped feta, topped with finely diced green onion, garlic, and sundried tomato!! The Chef does not play when he is tempting your taste buds. It was delicious!!! This was followed by a Greek Lemon Chicken Soup which tasted so fresh, clean, and healthy, I designated it as the first new recipe I will try and make myself. The chicken, carrots, and soft rice in a yummy lemon tinged chicken stock was pure heaven!!! And if I hadn't already had a fork stuck in me, I'm done feeling the main course is ready!! 2 inch thick lamb chops sourced from the Greek Gods themselves, over crispy, browned roasted potatoes which were also covered with the pan drippings!!! Just kill me now so I can die a happy man!!! Or maybe just wait till after dessert!!! Once again, a fantastic meal taught simply by a fantastic Chef, and Sous Chef and enjoyed completely by a nice group of people who wanted to learn and expand their culinary horizons. Chef Mark and Sous Chef Ethan without a doubt nourished our minds and even more importantly our bellies!!! Take a class and savor the experience!!!!

We totally enjoyed everything and would def have them again. The fish and chicken tasted like fish and chicken. Haha. The burger did not taste exactly like meat but had a meat-like texture and was still a tasty burger that I will order again. The buns and veggies were very fresh, the cheese on the burger was melty and delicious and the sauces/aiolis were perfect. My only tiny ding would be that the fries portion should be larger for the price. But I'll still give them a '5' and we will go back to try the salad, the cheesesteak sandwich, and maybe a couple of their tempting baked goods. Just FYI, there was another group of first-timers that came in right behind us (vegans and non-vegans). They loved their food, too!
