Best Date Night Restaurants in Leland

Our waiter was tremendously, knowledgeable, exceptionally, friendly, and efficient. The food was outstanding.

You can’t forget Michael’ ultra deep voice. His level of service was phenomenal. He went out of his way to make us all feel he genuinely cared that we were happy. While I wasn’t overly happy with basically charred beyond recognition Porterhouse for 2 that arrived to the table sliced in cubes?? I managed to muster the courage to eat it so as not to bring a negativity to my 70th birthday celebration at Ruth’s Chris, something I had been doing for the last 45 years. It was probably the single worst Porterhouse steak I’ve ever eaten. Looked like the chef got busy and make left it in too long, not to the point of being consumed by the flames but darn close enough to ruin the flavor with The burnt bone running through it. Having it pre-cubed for me was a first and something I will ensure never happens again. However, Michael our server and host couldn’t have been more delightful to work with. He is a valuable asset to your team.

Dean and his team were highly welcoming, kind, courteous, and caring. Each and every employee had a joyous-type demeanor that made us feel happy to be there. The food was DELICIOUS! The fruit plate and coffee cake muffins to start were perfect; not too heavy and tasty... especially that honey and sumac yogurt! The main brunch courses exceeded expectations. As southerners who moved north, I cannot tell you how much we miss a good biscuit and some flavorful grits... they nailed both perfectly. My fried catfish was almost melting in my mouth. All around, a wonderful and elevated meal that was served by staff that genuinely cared; and experience that made us feel like we were home.

Our server recommended the crispy brussel sprouts and they were delicious. The beet risotto with salmon was very good too. We had good wine and the Tiramisú tasted like homemade in Italy. My waitress was lovely but I forgot her name unfortunately.

Staff from start to finish was excellent. One of the best gems in Wilmington.
