    Food is not accurate to description. Basically told we should have lower expectations

    I'd give a zero if possible. This place was absolutely horrible. The waitress Greta was horrible and had poor hygiene. The chicken literally bounced off the floor and when I showed them they said we should of said something sooner, yet some of us didn't even get our food. The lamb had no taste, and the food was served at all separate times. 2 people were done and 4 of us did not get our food. The waitress told us next time pick a different place. I wouldn't feed this restaurant to my dogs. We were served plates that looked eaten.

    Whenever we get a chance for date night my boyfriend loves to go to Culinaria. He missed their Rigatoni with sausage. Looks like they changed it up from the last time we went (now its a ground sausage in a cream sauce as opposed to slices of sausage in a red sauce)so he opted for rigatoni in red sauce ...said tasted just like he remembered. I was excited to have softshell crab on a bed of spicy thai salad and a side of jasmine rice...it was so good, I didnt need a take home bag, I ate it all! I also had a yummy cocktail and OMG the dessert ! Im in love with my dessert. It was like an amaretto version of a tiramisu. I love almonds so it was right up my alley.

    Really good place and good atmosphere. The waiting staff are excellent. The food is really good, I got the sweet potato soup and rib eye and these items are well exacuted. The price is also very reasonable for what you are getting. The down side is the shopping area, it's a little low-end. The dessert is not made at restaurant and are nothing special so I do not recommend the desserts. Nothing like French Laundry or Le Bernardin but for this price, this is the best you will get.

    This light.... Ok, I'll sign the papers!

    We've come here regularly for many years... Then tonight, the Mrs mentioned the lights were so bright. I switched seats and then I was in the spotlight. The overhead spotlight was so bright .. I put a piece of paper on my head to shield the light! (Cool hat...) Then the manager Aaron came over to our table and accused me of turning off the light switch which controlled the lights in front of the restaurant. In front of everyone... Accused me... I had no idea there was a switch, which was well behind me... I went over to him and asked what that was. I told him, not only did I not touch his switch, I had no idea it was there! He said "well you look like you touched it" Wow dude... Just wow. I'm sitting with the Mrs and the 4 top next to us are our very best friends. Unbelievable... This s not how you treat a long time customer. No wonder they have ONE SERVER on a Friday night. They must have treated others with the same distain. Have to rate this visit a 0 star because I had to ask for service and being accused of something I had nothing to do with... New owners... Not good... The rice... Crusty on top, cold in the middle. The salmon, cold in the middle and raw The potatoes, steaming hot, and salty. My friends complained about their food too, but that's their review. Never place blame on a customer. These guys obviously never turned their lights on. We got here at 5pm... Still light outside. Never place blame on a customer. Bad business...

    Roasted Salmon with cucumber and dill sauce

    I live 3 minutes from this place for 10 years but have never been there. Feel so sorry for myself. After reading two positive posts in one day about this place on FB restaurant &take out group, I can't wait to order takeout the next day. Based on the popularity, I ordered the crispy chicken, roasted salmon with cucumber and dill, rainbow trout with mushrooms and crab meat. As people commented, the take out portion is huge. One dish can feed a couple. The mashed potato in one dish and the bread fed my two girls My favorite is the salmon with cucumber and dill sauce. I can't have it enough, and can't help to eat the mashed potatoes with the dill sauce in it even though I'm on Keto diet My husband love the crispy chicken, and there are 10 big pieces of chicken the size of my 8 years old daughter's hand. I can't wait to order again next week and will try the ribeye, salmon with curry, and rainbow trout with pesto. The price is very reasonable for the quality and quantity they offer.

    Potato crusted catfish with jasmine rice and black bean salsa. AMAZING! And gluten free! Oh and chipotle sauce on the side.

They came out in a seashell. I don't know what that sauce was that they were covered in, but I wanted to drink it. I'm a ribeye person. I asked Marc should I get the tomahawk for two or the Porter house for two? He suggested if I'm a ribeye person to get the tomahawk It was cooked to perfection. My cousin and I shared it and we ate every bite. It came in a big plate with carrots and potatoes and green beans. It was so much food, but it was so good. We ate at all. Also got a side of focaccia bread, which was outstanding All the drinks we had were made with love, and the atmosphere was really good too Are waitress Mia also gets five stars She was great Anyway, I'll be going back there very soon and I recommend if you're reading my review that you will love it too I want to thank all the staff at snuff Mill for making our night a memorable one

My friend and I arrived a bit early for our reservation, but were quickly greeted and offered a beverage menu. Their cocktail options are creative and constantly changing, often featuring some unique foam toppers. On this particular occasion, I started with the Strawberry Kiwi Spice Margarita, which included some cardamom to add depth and warmth to the fruity drink. I also ordered the Apricot Ginger Sour, a consistent favorite bourbon cocktail with a little zing from the lemon foam on top. Both drinks were excellent. For starters, we selected a few of the fresh oysters as well as a scallop special made with a lemon beurre blanc. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and I was grateful the dish came with sourdough to sop up every last drop of that delicious beurre blanc. My entree was where things went awry. I tend toward pescetarian options and selected the lone fish on the menu that night: skate wing. My first few bites were great, though slightly oversalted. However, eventually the mouthfeel evolved into a burning, ammonia taste, and I unfortunately wasn't able to finish the dish. My friend who also had the skate wing, however, did not have that experience (and I tried a bite of hers to confirm, too!). I know skate wing can be tricky to prepare and this is a known potential issue, but it was disappointing. Luckily, dessert was fabulous once again --- we chose the coconut creme brulee which was delightful. I'm sure I'll be back. Just no skate wing for me!

The food we had was fine. The mussles and frites were good, I would have thought the fries come with the sauce but they didn't. The risotto was slight malt under seasoned. The beet salad was really tasty! This resturant is always thorough when it comes to allergies. They have a hard time with the two server communication aspect. I've been here twice and both times they seemed one beat off from each other. Also for having two servers they don't check on you often enough. That could also be a communication/timing thing. (if you think someone else was there or not) we only ordered one drink because we didn't want to wait after we finished our food to order another. The drinks here are fantastic though. We dined for 2 hours and only was able to order one drink and apps. We probably would have enjoyed more but personally I didn't have to time sit any longer. I would give them one more try but 202 is a pain and this might not be worth the drive with so many comparable options of fine dining in Wilmington.

The fish was tender and just the right amount of salty. The red sauce was flavorful and hearty. It was everything I'd look for in a seafood dish. The quality of fish used was also notable. We paired it with some Chardonnay, which was lovely. We had ordered 3 trays of Cioppino and ate 2.5 of them, amongst 3 people..it was that good! It was $38 per tray, which I feel is really reasonable for the quality. Pickup was quick and easy and staff were so kind. So thankful and appreciative of those who are spending their holiday making it more carefree for others. This really made our Christmas Eve!!

From the start we were treated with honesty and a genuine desire to be customer centric. 3 of us went for dinner on a quiet Friday evening. The place was not busy at all. Our server was friendly although a little forgetful and slow. Food was excellent. I cannot understate this and am not here to criticize the server or any of the little things we thought were off because again, the food was excellent. Helpings were a good size, dressings were not overdone on our salads and our mains were all perfectly cooked. We will certainly be back to this neighborhood restaurant less than 10 mins away from home.

While their outdoor space is an excellent feature during warmer weather, I wanted to highlight their winter weekend offerings, which involve various food pairings offered in their cute indoor space (by reservation only!!) My most recent experience was their Wine and Cheese Pairing, which is featured every January. Each year, they curate a combination of local cheese and either honey/jam to pair with their wines, and every year, it's a hit. My favorite pairing this year involved their Pinot Rose, a delicious cheddar, and an orange ginger honey that was absolutely delightful. I also particularly enjoy their wine and cupcake pairing offered every March in partnership with Dia Doce cupcakes --- a highlight of every spring.
