Horrible service! Unfortunately, our experience was…read moredisappointing. When our drinks arrived, the waitress placed everything at one end of our table and expected us to pass the items down ourselves rather than walking to the other side to serve everyone. After our meals were delivered, it took 5-10 minutes before she returned to check on us. My burger was missing the mayo and yellow mustard that I had requested, and I had to flag her down to get the condiments. When we were ready to leave, we again had to flag her down just to get our check. We also noticed the table behind us having to do the same. The food was ok but the service fell well below expectations. Because of the overall experience, we won't be returning.

First Visit to Taste & Sea's High Tea - A Hidden Gem!…read more I recently visited Taste & Sea in Glen Mills for their High Tea experience, and it was absolutely delightful. They have been offering High Tea since January 2026 and currently serve it on Fridays and Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. I chose the Royal Tea package, which includes a scone, your choice of quiche or soup, four assorted tea sandwiches, assorted petit desserts, and a pot of tea. Since I couldn't decide, I added both the quiche and soup for an additional $5, bringing my total to just $40. The soup and quiche were both delicious, although they were more of an oversized amuse-bouche portion than a full serving. The flavors, however, were outstanding. The tea sandwiches were equally enjoyable. While all four varieties were tasty, my favorites were the cucumber and chicken salad sandwiches. The highlight of the meal was the scone served with crème fraîche and raspberry honey jam. It was absolutely mouthwatering and truly elevated the entire tea experience. The assortment of petit desserts was also wonderful, especially the creamy cheesecake, which was my personal favorite. What made the experience even better was the outstanding service. Lilly and Chrissy did a wonderful job throughout our visit. They were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed from start to finish. Their hospitality really enhanced the afternoon. I also appreciated that the venue is wheelchair and mobility-friendly, making it accessible and comfortable for guests with mobility concerns. It would be a wonderful venue for birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers, ladies' gatherings, or any special occasion that calls for a memorable afternoon tea experience. Overall, this was a 10 out of 10 experience. The quality, presentation, service, atmosphere, and value were exceptional. As Taste & Sea continues to grow and develop its High Tea service, I'm excited to see what enhancements they introduce in the future. My only concern? Once more people discover this experience, there may be a waiting list! If you're considering trying it, I highly recommend making a reservation. It is a tremendous value and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. P.S. Before leaving, I took a look at the dinner menu, and several items caught my eye--especially the Toasted Brie and the Chicken Cordon Bleu. Based on my High Tea experience, I'll definitely be returning to give dinner a try.

I've dined at this restaurant twice now, and in my honest opinion it's not worth the prices and the…read morelong waiting times for your food to be delivered. Well over an hour for your main course as a couple in the near smallest group size. I ordered the diver scallop dish and it was served in a metal baking dish with a sauce that was like gravy for biscuits! With peas in it! Additionally the small baby carrots and snap peas were mixed in with the sauce and scallops. The joined flavors were disgustingly unappealing. It was by far the worst presentation of a scallop dish I've ever seen! And at the over $50.00 price tag was nothing short of an embarrassment. I tasted 1.5 scallops that were like rubber and decided not pursue the dish further. I'm sorry but I just can't recommend this establishment to anyone. Great staff but the food is no better than a cheap buffet!

The salads were very good though, I really liked the strawberry feta one. My mom and I both ordered the 6oz filet medium and while mine was medium hers was very overcooked into medium well/well done. She also had made her order a surf and turf but her lobster was so insanely small and extremely overcooked and tough for $38. The sides that came with each entree weren't anything special either. Very soggy veggies, and the potatoes weren't that good. The bordelaise and bernaise sauces with our steaks were very good though. Aside from the food the service was alright. It just felt like they weren't paying that much attention and that we were always waiting for them to come back to the table for a while. Which I understand they were probably busy, but the restaurant was actually not that full, there were maybe three other occupied tables in the room we were in and they seemed to be taken care of by other wait staff. Also, when they brought our appetizers they brought plates for each of us and it looked like they were dirty so she would grab the top one and shake off whatever was on it on the table before putting it in front of us. It was only when she saw our concerned faces that she explained that it was pepper or something from the appetizer she was holding, but that didn't really make sense for it to be on every plate. Overall I wouldn't come back, I just liked the fried lobster Mac and cheese appetizer, strawberry feta salad, and bourbon toffee cake dessert. The ambiance was also nice I'd say. It was peaceful, elegant, and spacious. It was an alright experience but just extremely overpriced for what we got in my opinion. If it was less expensive I'd maybe give it 3 stars but you can't have such high prices if you don't live up to the expectations that those prices set.

Hands down probably one of the best in Wilmington, probably better than its neighbor Bardea…read more The ambience is set with the dime lighting and walking in you know you're somewhere elegant. I will say I took a star off for the steak, I've been to a few of the big ones in Philly and I'm not sure this place is up to par but it's good and the side dishes....omg phenomenal. I literally dream about the salad and carrots. Amazing flavors! The service is good, can be hit or miss depending on the day but I feel like that's anywhere in Wilmington. Overall, I recommend to those who haven't been or someone looking for a good meal in Wilmington. Don't skip those side dishes though! They are truly the stars of the show.

The experience did not match the hype. Everything is ala carte, which is fine if the…read morepresentation, service and quality of the food all match. The drinks including a glass of wine and martini were good. The baked bread appetizer came with a frozen piece of butter. If you make a compound butter, it usually tastes better room temperature. 5 minutes after the bread arrived, the Caesar salad arrived. No salad plates were provided. Within 1-2 minutes after salad was delivered, the steaks arrived. I don't mind salad with my meal if it's part of the culture of the restaurant. However, at most steakhouses where I've been, the salad is a separate course served prior to the main course. The steaks ordered were the bone in strip and the filet. Both steaks were heavily over salted. We ordered the béarnaise sauce and the French onion butter as toppings, and both were unremarkable. The roasted potatoes side dish was delicious as was the salad. The ambiance of the restaurant is great. It's a shame the seasoning for the food and the presentation and timing of the food delivery aren't better controlled.

It's been a few years since we've been to The Reef...had a friend who had an event there in…read moreJanuary, so we popped in...same place, some ripped benches in the bar seating area, but seems like the food has improved....except the fries...they use the new "seasoned fries"...which means dredged in flour (lightly)...and then dropped in the fryer...most diners are moving to these, so they may be frozen. Who puts starch on a starch? Anyway, the crab quesadilla is amazing. The chicken cheesesteak will rival the best in the area (Mazzella's is the best, and they don't starch their frozen fries)...the boneless wings aren't as good as The Hideaway, but they're damn good. They could step up their game by upping their Blue Cheese (Two Stones Pub is hands down the best)...and Happy Hour beers remind me of the 80's with their prices. So my official rating after 4 visits in the last 2 months is a VERY Good. To add, their entertainment is a good selection of various styles. I'd like to see a Tues or Weds acoustic Happy Hour.

If you want a good meal and a fun time with by the way no cover charge "The Reef" is the place to be seen at Carpenter Station in Wilmington.

The meal was especially excellent because I bought a friend who is always fun to be around. I have not been to this restaurant for years. I would recommend it to anyone who love to eat steaks.

It was a weird mix of service because our plates were taken away by bussers very quickly and aggressively yet we were waiting on everything else. We ended up missing our plans for after.
