We have been going to The Whip for over 10 years now…read more THE #1 reason we keep going back is the staff. All of the staff make every meal a dining experience. The ambiance is great, especially in the warm weather, outside. The food is ALWAYS delicious, thanks to Dillon. Sarah and Tania are on top of their game behind the bar. Always scanning the bar while waiting for a pint to fill. Sheryl, Sam, Heather B and Lauren not only remember you name, but frequently what you ordered last visit. We tell all of our friends to go there. Frequently taking some with us. I think one word describes The Whip perfectly, FUN!!!

My daughter and son-in-law wanted to take the Moms to the Whip Tavern for Mother's Day. They made…read morereservations for 5, and the options were 4:30 or 8:30 on Saturday, so we went with 4:30. It is a tiny building but they are doing it right! There is complimentary valet parking which was great because I have no idea where we would have parked. We were seated at exactly 4:30, and our server was friendly and fast. RJ and I ordered Downeast Peach Mango Cider which was refreshing and delicious. We started with crab and artichoke dip and beef and weck eggrolls, and our table ordered 2 fish and chips, the "Luxury" seafood pie, shepherd's pie, and the beef on weck sandwich. My weck included onions, mushrooms, swiss, and bacon with a side of au jus and horseradish. Yum, what a salty, savory, spicy combo. The roast beef was very tender and juicy. The fish and chips were all enjoyed, as were both pies. We did not make it to dessert but will try that again another time. We were in and out in about 1 hour without being rushed at all. We will definitely return to the Whip!

Review specifically for dining, not cafe…read more Spectacular evening with friends at the Farm Table! From start to finish, everything was delightful! Purchasing the suggested pairings (ahead of time) added to the overall experience. We also had wines that were brought on preference and the paired wines won out every time as they perfectly complemented the prepared courses. Our two servers were friendly and attentive, explaining every course and refilling our wines without asking. Present, yet out of the way. The atmosphere is very cozy in the back of the cafe at Talula's Table - the original table as opposed to the smaller kitchen table added a few years back. Reservations still take a year (though it's easier to snag a cancelation or weekday as they recently added online reservations in April 2026). However, it was well worth the wait (and I'm not sure why I waited so long to try it)! We left stuffed between the hors d'oevres, eight courses, bread, surprise course, and plenty of wine to wash everything down. We experienced the Spring 2026 menu and look forward to dining again in another season.

We wanted to sit at the bar, which was pretty crowded, but we were able to get seats. Shelby, the bartender, was friendly, and we started with crispy Brussels sprouts, which were tasty with a chipotle dipping sauce. We also ordered the pork tenderloin and a grouper special served on grilled watermelon, which of course, I had to try. The food was creative, original, and delicious. We definitely want to try the brunch menu.

The sweet potato fries was the highlight of the meal for me. The sandwich was so so. My husband ordered the crabcake that was served on a bed of rice. The crab cake was delicious, but it seemed a little odd to serve it on rice. The other couple seemed to be happy with their meals. One ordered a steak and the other the beef bourguignon. We noticed they have a happy hour menu. I would definitely go back to try that. The service was great and the ambience was very nice. There was also live music when we arrived, which was a nice touch.

Zappa, C.W.Stoneking, you don't hear this music anywhere around here. Started with an old fashioned which feature a "well bourbon" for happy hour. Don't recommend. Ordered two of the small plates and the highlight was the Thai shrimp. They were huge (12s?) and just fried crispy enough. The chicken wings got the job done. Came with 9, but my GLP drugs only tolerated 6. Overall I would try again, but with Bulleit Rye and just the shrimp. Or the fish and chips.

We were in a hurry because we had to get ready for an event, but as soon as we walked in we were seated right away. The first thing I saw when I looked at the menu, was a Carajillo (Which I was pleasantly surprised that they had it on the menu. It's one of my favorite drinks, especially when I need a caffeine boost and at that time I definitely did!!) I wasn't planning on drinking alcohol, but it was so perfect that I ended up having 2 of them!! Lol For food, I ordered the smash burger and got fries instead of the salad. It was pretty yummy! My cousin's wife ordered the Baba Ganoush and it was delicious!! I was pretty impressed because we had no expectations!

The food was classic diner food done really, really, really well--we ordered brunch and everyone was thrilled with their meals. The portions were on point and the execution of each dish was just perfectly spot on. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside (which is just tables looking onto the parking lot). My only complaint was there were consistently non-diner workers outside taking smoke breaks that wafted over, which wasn't pleasant...but not the restaurant's fault at all (just worth noting that you may want to sit inside if that sort of thing bothers you).

Things are a little pricey for me, but everything was pretty good. The poke bowl was very fresh and had a variety of veggies to complement the tuna.

Service was fine. Restaurant was clean. I ordered the Cajun Pasta It was described as this:…read more"Grilled chicken, shrimp and Andouille sausage, penne, Parmesan cream sauce, shallots, garlic, white wine, Cajun spices, Calabrian peppers" The cream sauce was a curdled paste. It was less a sauce and more of a discolored lumpy paste. The dish./meal was cold in some spots and hot in other spots - the shrimp was rubbery - so it was obviously microwaved. It was not made fresh. It was absolutely disgusting. Over all, it felt like an insult - uneatable and unpresentable. Whomever cooked it should be ashamed to allow such a dish to go out into the dining room. It was completely unacceptable. I had been to this restaurant a few times before as my wife likes it. My only other problems were that they occasionally served cold french fries. I am done with this place. I had originally heard that the people who opened it were part of a group that had successful restaurants and cared about serving good food. It is not that now. Until I hear otherwise, I will never return... not even if it were free. The waitress said she'd get the manager - but the manager never showed. I did not have to pay for the Cajun Pasta...

This dish was outstanding! My husband ordered the Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding topped with fresh vanilla bean ice cream. It was incredible! Our friend ordered the Sea Bass with Cauliflower Mash. Wonderful! We enjoyed the .5 star cuisine while being relaxed in this comfortable ambiance. We will return!

I actually ordered off the vegan menu because these tacos sounded so good and they did not disappoint! Our burrata was a yummy starter too. My only complaint was that the dinner took two and a half hours! We were definitely chatty and enjoying the night but our server absolutely could have been by more often. 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.

We've ordered drinks. Orange Crush and Honey I'm Smashed drinks. They both were great. The Crush tasted like the one at Starboard Restaurant (located in Dewey Beach). The Smash had real crushed up fruits (I believe strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry) which made the drink semi-sweet and tart but still yummy. The mussels are always a must have. Fresh, even during this time of season. Their sauce is made to perfection. Make sure to ask for extra bread because you will need it to soak up the rest of the broth. Yum! The pan seared salmon (4.5/5) wasn't just a pretty dish, it was delightful. My boyfriend really enjoyed his fish & chips, fries, and Cole slaw. It started to get busy right before we left. Can't wait to go back.

The food gives you that fine dining experience without the pretentiousness. The staff is warm and friendly -- shout out to Chet for his amazing service. They were also very accommodating to our son who was in between napping when we began dining, setting up a high chair for us in a way that would allow him to continue sleeping in his car seat. We started the meal off with some seared scallops that were perfectly arranged. Next, my wife had some seared tuna while I ordered the Colorado bison -- both items off of the special seasonal menu. The dishes were incredibly flavorful and the veggies that surrounded the meat added a nice complement. I also really enjoyed my California cab, as did my wife with her house Manhattan. We will definitely be back next time we are in Delaware, and highly recommend to anyone visiting the Hockessin area!

The fresh fish entree was delicious. The cheesecake dessert was a thing of beauty. I would probably try again, but it's a half an hour away. (We passed way too many other restaurants to try)
