The food choices were remarkable. Our table of 4 shared 2 different appetizers and each ordered a distinct entree. Every one of us scored the meal a strong 10. Drink offerings were amazing as well.

Our server was very friendly but my order was incorrect. The crispy Prosciutto toast was not crispy after having to be remade as I asked that there be no egg added but it came to the table the first time with egg. Entrees arrived quite staggered which meant we didn't all finish together and as some had eggs we insisted that they begin as soon as they arrived. The place is very cute but incredibly loud and 5 of us were placed in a booth better suited to 4.

Everytime we eat at Ruth's Chris, everyone's order comes out perfect. Our food was delicious and the staff always goes above and beyond with kindness and service. They simply do not miss. It is one of our favorite spots for any occasion.

Loved the food and our server but they really need to work on the ambience, especially the lighting. The overhead lights were very bright and not conducive to a relaxing evening mood. Just turn them down and all would be good. Our meal was great, all this aside.

We went to Riverside Kitchen & Bar to celebrate my birthday. We made reservations on OpenTable and had no issues. We went for brunch and the food was great. My husband and son got the biscuits and gravy. They liked it but it wasn’t their favorite. I got the breakfast burrito and could only eat half. They gave me a free dessert for my birthday and I enjoyed the homemade tiramisu. My husband got the brownie a la mode and my son got the chocolate torte. We may go back just for dessert. The service was great and we can’t wait to go back.

One of Wilmington’s best restaurants! Alway delicious food served by experienced wait staff and in a lovely relatively quiet setting! (Which is unusual in any restaurant today)

We had dinner before going to a show at the Wilson Center. The staff were very mindful of our time and did so in a friendly and attentive manner. The food was delicious! The boys had burgers and said they were one of the best they’d ever had. The scallops were delicious, I would definitely order them next time! Overall a fantastic experience.
