    The shared plate tapas style food was amazing. We were able to order a number of items that came out individually and each item was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. Our server was also the only person staffing the bar and while he was very busy he was attentive to us and our food was brought out in perfect timing...and not rushed. We really enjoyed relaxing and the atmosphere was very friendly from the hostess to our waiter/bartender. We will absolutely be back. Go when you have time to relax and you are not worried about getting somewhere else and you should be really happy.

    We have lived in Wilmington for 3 years. The Dram Yard provided one of the best meals we have eaten here in Wilmington. You can't go wrong, from good wines and custom drinks to excellent food and service. We'll be back!

    We had the best experience Saturday night. The food, the service, and the ambiance was top notch. John, our waiter and bartender was personable and well-versed in craft cocktails. There were four of us in our party, and we tried 9 of the menu items shared tapas style. All were delicious with some unique flavor twists on the more typical items. We especially enjoyed the Brussels sprouts, the carbonara, and the duck confit. Thanks for a memorable evening!

    The vibes and ambience in here were amazing. Unfortunately the service was very slow as I know the team seemed to be understaffed that day. Totally understand that but took them about 15 minutes to take our order and over 30 minutes to get our coffees. We have kids and only get out by ourselves every so often so was just a little bummed at the experience. Would still come back for cocktails at a later date.

    Overall, the experience and food was amazing. Unfortunately, the end of the experience was taken away by a staff member who was visibly upset with handling our bill because we had to get out quick due to a show we were seeing. Our server suggested going to the bar area to settle because she was tied up. We were met by a staff member who was “inconvenienced” by me handling our bill with rolling eyes and continued disgruntlement about the task asked of her.

    A perfect location for a great date night. The bar was cozy and the bartender was very attentive. Our reservations were for 7:15, and the only complaint is that the staff was a bit slow getting us to our table even with a reservation. After being seated around 7:45, everything after was wonderful. Our waitress was attentive and social. The food was delicious. We will definitely be back!

    This was our first visit and won't be our last. Dram Yard was cute and well appointed. The food came out looking and tasting fantastic. Each ingredient shined. It might have been my favorite Bloody Mary in Wilmington!
