We started with the crab dip, which was delicious, followed by the prime rib dinner and Chicken Chesapeake--both were absolutely amazing and full of flavor. We finished with the apple crumble, which was the perfect sweet ending to a wonderful meal. Everything was delicious, and the cozy historic atmosphere made the experience even better. Such a wonderful local gem--we'll definitely be back!

I generally don't give 4/5's, and I was reluctant after I sat at the bar for a good 10 minutes and…read morenone of the bartenders paid me any attention. (I actually thought about walking out). Instead, I allowed patience to prevail....I ordered their wings. They looked different than your average wings, so I figured give it a try. They were/are absolutely heavenly. Not sure what they do with them. They don't seem fried, but they are HUGE, succulent, and served with a big pepper and onions, two of my best friends. The wings came out hot, and they were so plentiful, I had to box my order because I was full. (Okay, I filled up on beer. Shoot me. I love beer, and their tap prices are so low compared to NYC). I also ordered fries, and I'll be damn, they were great as well. 4/5 experience. There was a male bartender who was clearly caught up in himself and I could tell he felt like I was competition and he completely ignored me. Cool. No problem. I was able to gain help from a really nice female bartender who waited on me despite dude's responsibility at my section of the bar. I'll definitely come back when traveling through Delaware. Sorry that Nordstrom is now closed. But, this spot is super solid. They have plenty of monitors. My only issue is that I walked in on a sunny July day at 6:00PM and the inside is so dark, it took about 15 minutes for my eyes to adjust. Cool spot. I'd bring a casual date or partner while passing through on I-95. Now that Nordstrom is closed, I have a good reason to stop by. The bang for the buck is amazing in today's age.

Nice vibrant place to grab some happy hour specials at the bar or enjoy a night out with family or…read morefriends. Lots of parking available and seating too. There is a bar area with some booths, as well as a large dining space. If want happy hour you have to sit at the actual bar though. We were greeted by super friendly and very nice hostess. We were seated immediately. Our server (shout it to Chloe) was also friendly and checked in on us throughout our visit. A manager of some sort even swung by to ask how things were going. If you have picky eaters or a large group with varies diets... this is the place to come. The menu is a book! Like it's robust. There are starters, burgers, pizzas, sushi, sandwiches... like it's never ending. When you see a book of a menu you wonder how the quality is going to be since it would be assumed that the kitchen has a massive amount of food that must be made on demand. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food that we had. Well done! Don't be intimidated by the menu. We ordered the potstickers which were tasty and delicious. They do have a little bit of a kick to them. Also ordered the special chicken biscuit sliders served with a side of white gravy. Get these!!! They were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Also ordered a BBQ burger with sweet potato fries. The fries come with an icing like filling sauce. Burger was great and fresh. Overall, a great meal and would come back.

She is highly knowledgeable on wines & is able to help direct you towards a wine you'll want to indulge in. I was invited here for a birthday celebration for one of our friends & it seemed it was the perfect place to do so. This is definitely a great place for group celebration or even just a place to relax, drink a glass (or a few!!) of wine and even study or read etc if you wanted to. Honestly, would love to come back here & visit with my family/friends when they come to town.

Shoutout to Christian! We went with a bigger party this time - total of 6. Would highly recommend reservations. Parking can be challenging but worth the work. You will ring a bell next to a discreet door where someone will assist you. You are greeted and walked up a very long staircase to the actual speakeasy. There's a bar, seating areas, and lounge areas as well. There's also live music. Check their socials. We ordered lots of drinks - 12 total. Every single one was absolutely delicious. Doesn't matter what you order. They do have seasonal cocktails too. You can't go wrong. Food! Okay, just order one of everything. We got meatballs (highly recommend), tuna, pizzas (shareable size). All the things were good. Again, you can see this isn't our first time here (see previous reviews). We will continue to share this place with as many people as we can as it is a superb experience! Just all around a lovely place to sit and enjoy cocktails and good. For sure meets that speakeasy vibe!
