Restaurants near DoubleTree by Hilton Downtown Wilmington - Legal District

We had 8 people for dinner and sampled a number of dishes from "snacks" to small plates to table shares (entrees) as well as several sides. Without exception, every dish was very good to excellent -- no weak entries. Even the gem salad was cold, crisp, flavorful and simply fresh tasting. Our server was personable and knowledgeable and the entire staff was very efficient and unobtrusive. The restaurant was about 3/4 full and pretty noisy -- good energy but not a place for a quiet evening. We had not been back in about 18 months and all agreed that Bardea has only gotten better.

La Fia may just be the best restaurant in Delaware. The dining room is inviting and unpretentious, but the food ranks right up there with some of the best spots in Philadelphia. I have never had a bad dish here - the menu rotates seasonally but there are some stand-out staples that remain, such as the duck leg confit. The servers are incredibly knowledgable and personable. While there are bigger-name, more publicized restaurants down the street, La Fia is a hidden gem where you can have a quality meal for a reasonable price.

Absolutely outstanding restaurant with unmatched steaks. The starters are refreshed periodically and reflect the chef’s eclectic viewpoint; I will never forget the oxtail empanadas that used to be on the menu, and the pork tostado that is on the current menu will take you to heaven! Service is outstanding and unpretentious and the classy yet welcoming atmosphere works for everything from a special family dinner to date night to girls night out. One of my favorite restaurants in the entire country!

Food was great. Service was kind but inefficient. Never bought back requested items. 20% service fee automatically added… didn’t like that. Convenient for pre-show at the grand.

We started with the Small plates of Avocado and then the Salmon. The Avocado dish was divine...perfectly warm with tantalizing flavors beneath it. The salmon was really good but we weren't fans of the "crisp" that comes with it which is made from the skin...too fishy for our taste. That's a personal preference. I had the burger and my wife the Cacio e Pepe. Both were also excellent.
