Wilmington Restaurants

Casablanca is a wonderful restaurant with exotic food, unique entertainment, and a fun and different atmosphere.

The dining room is designed like a traditional Arab entertaining room with low couches in square shapes, lots of pillows, and a big square table in the middle of each group of couches. The meal is served family style, so if you have a large group, you can take up one entire table, but if you are a small group you will share with strangers.

They have great nightly Moroccan dinners that include salad, chicken in filo dough, shish kabobs, couscous, fruit, baklava and mint tea. Grab a piece of the fresh bread and use it to scoop tasty rice and meat into your mouth if you want to look like you've done this kind of thing before.

During dinner they have belly dancers, live music, and alcohol is available. The fixed price dinner is about $25 per person plus drinks.

Kahunaville was at the riverfront area long before the shipyard shops, the riverwalk, the Bank One Center, and all the restaurants that have been popping up recently. I don't know how to describe the place: part restaurant, part concert theater, part gaming entertainment. I know the sight of the huge volcano as you drive along I-95 has always been a fascinating sight. Go check the place out!

CLOSED! RUMOUR HAS IT THAT AS THE RIVERFRONT IS GEARING ITSELF MORE TOWARDS OFFICES AND APARTMENTS, KAHUNAVILLE WAS DEEMED TOO LOUD AND ROWDY FOR THE CHANGING ENVIRONMENT.

Korean Kahl Bee Restaurant is one of only two Korean restaurant in the entire state of Delaware (the other is Korean Barbecue & Sushi Bar in Newark). Korean Kahl Bee is operated completely by Korean-Americans who speak Korean (and English), have an authentic menu, and really make you feel like you are in Korea. As their name implies, they specialize in Kalbi (pronounced "kahl bee") or grilled short ribs.

We opted for the bulgogi--grilled marinated beef--which was excellent. The side dishes, in typical Korean fashion, included white rice, Kimchi, Odang, bean sprouts, radishes, and others. We also ordered additional sides of mandu (Korean dumplings) and spicy bean curd soup. Total price was around US $44.

The meal was excellent and the atmosphere very authentic. I highly recommend Kahl Bee Restaurant to those who want to learn more about Korean culture and to those who have been to Korea and want to bring back fond memories. They had a big crowd of Koreans, so it must be authentic!

The small shopping plaza that houses this restaurant also has a Korean gift shop and a Korean grocery store.

Ok atmosphere, lazy service, food NOT remotely Irish. Giving generic American food ( chicken fingers, hamburgers, regular deli-type sandwiches) twee little names doesn't make them Irish. Plus, we waited for our lunch for 45 minutes while our waitress flitted around the place doing who-knows-what. It was SO disappointing as my husband and I were really looking forward to a nice Irish meal. Oh, well.

Favorite Dish: None, you can get this food anywhere....

Though Catherine Rooney's claims to be an Irish Pub, they offer so much more than that. This pub & restaurant is located at the center of Wilmington's Trolley Square and features great food and drink, frequent entertainment, and lots of friendly people. During our visit we both had prime rib ($15.99 Thurs-Sat only) with bread, mixed veggies, and a choice of potatoes. We also had a few beers (Smithwicks $4.50 & Yuengling $3.00) to top off the dinner. As we were finishing our meal in the outdoor dining area, the staff began clearing the other tables to make room for their 70's dance party night...kind of an odd way to end dinner. The inside of the restaurant is huge with private dining areas, a nice bar, and plenty of restaurant seating.

Iron Hill is an upscale brew-pub located along Wilmington's trendy Riverfront area near the outlet shops and Kahunaville restaurant and bar. They have a tasty selection of about 8 beers -- brewed locally of course -- including a great Anvil Ale.

The food was not quite up to the level of the beer. I had a brick-oven pizza with Italian sausage & fried onions that was tasty, but missing the familiar taste of pizza sauce. One of my friends has pork that was undercooked and pink in the middle. My other friend had short ribs that she said were very good. Pizzas were around $10 while other main courses ran $18-25. Appetizers were $8-10 as well... all on the steep side. Out total bill four four people including beers and 2 appetizers was over $90.

I did not go up stairs, but it looked like they had another bar with a pool table.

This is a great place to grab a flavorful beer, but you might be a little disappointed with the expensive food.

This is a very cute, trendy old fashioned ice cream shop type store. A quiet place to have a secret meeting.

Favorite Dish: Temptations, Serving lunches, ice cream, candy and full line of Godiva Chocolate. Get a chicken salad sandwich here! If you like ice cream, stop by here and eat with real in town folks.

Del Rose Cafe

Trolley Square’s award winning music venue and fine dining.
Been here a long time, personally I think you have to be pretty drunk to like the food here. Drinks were good though! Some folks love it. Sauce was sour, I never like that. Anti pasta was huge, get it to share. Like cole slaw, it's all chopped up, not my bag at all, Aunt Pat didn't even eat half of it. Crab Spagetti was fishy. Ravioli was OK, Olive Garden is better. Sorry Del Rose, I hear you have great bands, but I would skip it for a meal.
