Hummingbird to Mars is one of those rare places that reminds you why small businesses matter…read more Tucked away like a true speakeasy, it has an atmosphere that immediately pulls you in: low light, intimate corners, and a sense that you've stepped into a place where craft still means something. The bartenders are the heart of the experience. They don't just pour drinks; they create them. There's real skill and artistry behind the bar, and the conversation is as good as the cocktails. You can tell they care about balance, technique, and presentation. The Walk in the Garden gin cocktail is the perfect example: bright, layered flavors, premium ingredients, and that lavender garnish that hits your nose before the first sip. The scent alone sets the stage for the drink. It's thoughtful, elegant, and exactly what a craft cocktail should be. The food holds its own right alongside the drinks. The skillet meatballs come out tender and full of flavor, the kind of dish that disappears faster than you expect. The potato skins are crisp, satisfying, and exactly what you want with a cocktail in hand. And the homemade Baileys cheesecake is the kind of dessert you plan to share but end up guarding with your fork. It's rich without being heavy, with that unmistakable homemade touch. One of the best parts of Hummingbird to Mars is the tapas-style menu. You can eat as much or as little as you want, a couple of small plates with drinks, or a full progression from appetizers to dessert. It gives you the freedom to shape the night however you want, without committing to oversized entrées or predictable bar food. And that's the bigger point: places like this don't happen by accident. They come from creativity, risk-taking, and a commitment to doing things well. If we don't support small businesses that put this level of care into their craft, we'll be left with nothing but the same chains serving the same menus everywhere you go. Hummingbird to Mars is the antidote to that; personal, inventive, and genuinely memorable. From the first sip to the last bite, it's a place that delivers an experience, not just a night out. It's worth supporting, worth returning to, and worth celebrating.

Okay... judge me! Yes, this is ANOTHER review of one of the best speakeasies in Delaware. Service…read moreis spectacular and servers are well knowledgeable about their spirits and food. 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!

The next one is supposed to be around Valentine's Day so check out their IG or resy for details.

The seating was comfortable and they have a few TVs that you can catch a game of. The staff can change the channel for you if there is something you want to watch and they have the station. They do offer a veterans discount as well but you have to ask for it when you close your tab.

We recently held a celebration of life for my mom here, and from the moment we walked in, I knew…read morethis room was going to hold something special. Planning an event like this isn't easy -- there's so much weight to it, wanting every detail to honor someone you love -- and this team made that possible in a way I'll always be grateful for. The decor in the room was beautiful. Soft draping along the ceiling, a gorgeous chandelier, candlelight, and floral centerpieces on every table -- it felt warm and intimate, like the space itself was wrapping its arms around all of us as we gathered to remember her. Seeing my mom's photo up on the screens around the room, surrounded by family and friends sharing stories, laughter, and tears, is something I'll never forget. The service that night was incredible. The staff moved through the room with such care, making sure everyone felt looked after, but never once making it feel like just another event. The bartenders, especially, brought such an open, easygoing energy -- they were so fun to be around, and they helped lighten the mood in a way that let us laugh and celebrate my mom's life, even amid the grief. Looking back, that mix of comfort and joy meant so much. The food was super delicious too, and in moments like this, even small things -- a warm meal, a kind smile, a drink poured with a little extra care -- mean far more than people realize. I have to give a heartfelt and BIG shoutout to Amanda, the event coordinator/manager. She was an absolute sweetheart, and her calm, caring presence made it possible for our family to actually be present in the moment instead of worrying about logistics. She made sure everything -- from the setup to the TVs and microphones working perfectly for the tributes -- ran smoothly, and her thoughtfulness didn't go unnoticed by any of us. Hosting something this meaningful in a space that felt this beautiful, with people this kind, made all the difference on one of the hardest days. I am endlessly grateful to Amanda, the bartenders, and the entire team at Tonic for helping us celebrate my mom's life with so much love. I can't recommend this venue enough!!

Bland. (this review is from earlier this January)…read more That's probably the one word that I would use to describe the Lobby Lounge at the HDP. I ordered the chicken sandwich, was the quintessential 'chicken sandwich' that you get at your typical overpriced 'The X Grille' type places. I don't have much else to say about this place. The interior is kind of dark and dingy, and there is a code to get in the bathroom. wtf?? I suppose this could speak more to Wilmington than the HDP, but an easy solution for this would simply to be to hire a little bit of security for the hotel, which any decent hotel should have anyway. Will never come back.

Bar side has all the views, so I was hoping to be seated there. I was not. I assume was a private party, but I was lead to a no views, darker lit, lonely area where booths are so tall that blocks any view. Then I waited for the waitress, who wasn't rude, but was not friendly nor helpful and took forever to take and serve my order. At that point the taste of food just didn't help to help with the experience. Food was MEH!! I had to get up and look for someone to get my check. I asked the waitress why I was seated in such a lonely and out of view table, she stated I asked for it. WHAT!???, I stated I did not. She reiterated was my choosing, reminded her of the "Please wait to be seated" sign at the entrance, she said that is only for the restaurant side, no the bar. Why DO YOU Place a sign by front door. I was visiting the city, not familiar with HOW that particular restaurant operates, this restaurant is NOT NEW CUSTOMER FRIENDLY. My overall experience made me feel unwanted and unwelcome.
