Best Romantic Restaurants in Leland

The food was delicious. My wife and I shared calamari that was perfectly fried. We both had the Waterzooi that is the signature dish. It is wonderful seafood stew. We ended the meal by sharing profiteroles. They were a perfect ending to a perfect dining experience. The waiter was attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommended. Caprice Bistro is one of our favorite restaurants in Wilmington.

We had an amazing meal as always there. We had an order of the Duck breast, an order of the shrimp and scallop risotto and wonderful wine. The meal started with a calamari appetizer and the black gnocchi. Each taste was wonderfully executed and amazing. They never disappoint...highly recommend this restaurant over and over again.

Our first time at Dram Yard and it was just about perfect. We moved here from SF and we thought we were back in the city — the ambience is super cool but not overstated, they don’t cram tables too close together, and the service is outstanding. On second thought, it’s better than SF, where even the best places can be too crowded and noisy. The food was superb. We started with local oysters served with fried Saltines. Who knew? Oysters were fresh and clean done in a pear mignonette. They were quickly followed by the tuna tartare tostada and the brusssel sprouts, crispy and spicy. Then we moved to the spicy noodles, which came with a side of poached egg wrapped in kimchi. The flavors were amazing. One of the stars of the night was the duck confit, served in a delicate green sauce with scallion pancakes, which we used to wrap pieces of duck that fell off the bone. Deep umami flavors here. The chicken and dumplings have to eaten to be believed, especially the touch-of-genius addition of crispy chicken skin. The Scottish salmon was perfectly cooked, with a broiled-top finish. We finished with a slice of the chocolate torte served with Grenache, plus four forks. It was perfect. The wine list wasn’t deep, but very good. We loved the bottle of Oregon Chardonnay we had with the meal. The after-dinner espresso martini was the bomb — simply made with vodka, espresso and Demerara. Everything served family style, so it’s such a great experience having everyone at the table eat and experience the same things. Our server was smart and attentive. We spent three hours over dinner and could easily have stayed for one more. Highly recommended.

Everything was great. Michael was awesome, great service.

Found this place on Instagram. Love the ambiance, atmosphere, and upstairs lounge area. Limited seating on a Saturday night so make reservations. Fajita quesadillas was amazing both in flavor and presentation. Acoustics are a little loud so keep that in mind on a date night.
