    This restaurant is located in the River Bluffs neighborhood, so there is a security guard check in at the entrance point of the neighborhood. We just let the security guard know we were there for the restaurant and that was it. We made reservations through their website for 11:30 AM on a Saturday. There were not many people there so it was very quiet. They have nice big cushion chairs for dining of two people. They have high chairs and a changing table in the women's bathroom. It took a while for our food to come. We ordered the Korean barbecue short ribs sandwich, a veggie wrap, and added river fries for an up charge. The sandwich was good, more on the sweet side. It would've been better if the bread was warm, not cold. The veggie wrap was okay, the large portion of vegetables definitely helps you meet your vegetable intake goal. The River fries did not come with any sauce so we asked for the crack bang sauce, which was a creamy, sweet sauce with a hint of spiciness. Didn't care for the sauce. The river fries are huge sliced crispy potato wedges, very filling. Odd that the toilet in the private women's bathroom does not work well. I would think for such a nice neighborhood you would have a functioning toilet handle. Apparently you have to push the toilet handle inward and push down many times to get the toilet to flush. Overall, food was OK. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

    My inlaws moved into this development recently and they took us to this new restaurant that serves the community. There are still a few kinks to work out with service and staffing, but overall it was a nice experience and has much potential. I definitely recommend giving them a chance.

    I highly enjoyed my dinner here very much tonight. The place is located in a beautiful, gated community. There was a Holiday golf cart parade going on when I pulled up. I felt like I was in a Holiday movie. We had early reservations for 545 and there wasn't a lot of people there. By the time we left at 730 it was packed. We started with the crab dip which was really good. I ordered a small Caesar salad and the chefs special of wahoo. It was absolutely delicious paired with the aioli. My friend had the shrimp Alfredo and it was better than most Italian restaurants. I loved the ambiance and the seating plan. We had a very low top table and it was so cozy and inviting. Our server, Latif was great. I would definitely come back again. The menu is quite small and they were out of the crab cakes but prices are very reasonable.

    Deviled eggs and Blackened Shrimp tacos made for a great lunch! Great atmosphere and service.

    Been three times now. I got the mahi sandwich this time. It was the best fish sandwich I've had at a restaurant.

    I love their fish and chips and the tartar sauce. The service is great. It is quite dark in there,…read morebut I always know what I want so I don't even need to look at the menu.

    This was our first time here and it didn't disappoint! Word to the wise- be ready to wait 1.5 hours…read morefor a table. We came yesterday and didn't want to wait but then came back today and got our group on the list and waited. Note that the parking close by is expensive and they won't seat you if your whole party isn't there within 5 minutes of texting that your table is ready. So yep- plan to wait and sit around. Inside it's pub style, bar available and good music, but not much seating which explains the wait ;) We ordered the 109 Chestnut Chicken Sandwich, the Hot Roasted Pork Sandwich and the Reuben. Our waitress recommended not getting the onion rings app and to do it as sides to save money, and man, we had SO MANY leftovers. The pork sandwich is super good but so filling. I could only eat half with all the onion rings! The Reuben was absolutely delicious and I would 1000% get that again. The best thing on the menu in our opinion: the Cheese Steak Egg Rolls with chipotle mayo- OMG. We will DREAM about these!!! I haven't seen these talked about much- TRY THEM, they were literally mouth watering and I would have eaten them as an entree and not an app! Overall we would come back again, just be prepared to wait forever for a table and you won't be disappointed!

    What a fantastic evening at Dram Yard…read more We were a little concerned we might miss our 5:30 reservation after getting delayed by a seven-car accident on the bridge, but we arrived just a couple of minutes late and it wasn't an issue at all. From the moment we arrived, the experience was relaxed, welcoming, and exactly what we needed. We chose to sit in the beautiful courtyard, and with temperatures in the 70s, sunshine overhead, and a gentle breeze, it couldn't have been a more perfect setting. The outdoor gazebo bar creates a wonderful atmosphere for enjoying a cocktail before dinner, and if the weather isn't cooperating, the indoor dining space is equally inviting. A special thank you to Sarah, whose service was outstanding. She was cheerful, attentive, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. The restaurant wasn't crowded, which made for a peaceful and unhurried dining experience. For drinks, I ordered the Ghost Town, while my wife enjoyed the Venus Flytrap. Both were beautifully prepared and easy to see why they're among the restaurant's popular cocktails. The food was equally impressive. I had the Spaghetti Carbonara, and it was exceptional. The kitchen even accommodated my request for extra freshly cracked black pepper, which took an already excellent dish to another level. My wife ordered the Little Gem Salad with shrimp, and it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We also shared the Tuna Tartare Tostada, which was outstanding--beautiful presentation, fresh tuna, and a great balance of textures and flavors. Adding to the experience was a bottle of Albariño that paired wonderfully with the meal. What stands out most about Dram Yard is its atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, slow down, enjoy a handcrafted cocktail, and forget about the stresses of the day. Whether you're looking for a date night, an evening with friends, or simply a quiet place to relax, Dram Yard delivers. Excellent service, creative cocktails, outstanding food, and one of the most relaxing outdoor dining spaces in Wilmington. We'll definitely be back.

    We all ordered the "tasting" menu each for $90 per person. We were made to think the portions…read morewould be ample for the price. We each got a bowl of gazpacho, an appetizer size portion of two very small duck lumpia followed by tile fish with flat noodles and a savory broth. The course then was a shared short rib that was entirely fat/gross, one smal grilled onion and two tiny empanadas to share . Desert was a small scoop of ice cream and small crumble type cobbler to share. We in no way felt like it was $90, the portions were not enough to sustain us and we felt incredibly cheated and somehow conned/robbed of over $200 for each of us couples out. Very disappointing!
