Board and Barrel Restaurant

A must in Wilmington if staying or near Hotel Ballast. Grace’s old fashion cocktail just to watch to make much less drink is a bar hit.

Grace is the best bartender in all of Wilmington. This place is a must-visit. You'll be amazed by the artistry and skill showcased at Board Barrel.

Ate here a few times for breakfast during our stay and the food was decent and fresh enough for being a hotel restaurant. Their Crab Cake Benedict was worth a try. Visualizza piatti

Grace the bartender is rude and just mean for no reason....like please explain why you are a bartender but you don't like people and you don't like serving!!!! It was so bad that we didn't order second rounds... we just left.

Wow! Just wow. I recently spent the night with a special lady friend, but I found myself mostly at the bar with Grace. Her knowledge of cocktails and spirits is unmatched in Wilmington. The menu she's put together is impressive, thoughtful, and exciting. I had the best gin and tonic I've ever tasted (and I mean it). Unfortunately, my special lady friend isn’t speaking to me anymore, but it was totally worth it. I highly recommend this place—10/10!

We did not stay at the hotel. We stopped in to the bar on the lower floor. Very beautiful newly redecorated. The view out to the river was lovely. But the drinks that were done were great. Moreover, the bartender Grace is the most skilled I've ever seen. She was passionate about her work. She even makes her own style of bitters! To watch her move, putting together her concoctions was amazing. Go there when Grace is there entertainment all by itself. Visualizza piatti

I don't know if this is good because. the service is absolutely terrible. the management must think because they have a trapped publikum of people who stay in the hotel, they have not gto try to do well. I hate this place to contrast, there are three people who work the recipe with their iphones, not even on the search or attention for the guests. Moreover, there are two people who make drinks behind the bar and don't go to take drinks orders. my rotary district has booked this place mitte september. I'm not back and a district officer. I'll do my best to move the other way. worst excuse for a congressional.

During our stay at the Ballast Hotel, we decided to grab a quick bite and were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and we enjoyed a stunning view of the sunset along with the Battleship. However, the highlight of our experience was the exceptional service! It’s been a while since we've encountered service this outstanding. The waitress, hostess, and manager collaborated seamlessly, keeping our drinks topped up and checking in on our meal regularly. We sampled the crab waffles and fish tacos, both of which were delightful. The tea was also really good! Kudos to the entire team for a wonderful experience!

Wouldn't know if the food is any good because... The service is absolutely horrible. The management must think because they have a captured audience of folks staying in the hotel they don't have gto try to do well. I absolutely hate this place. To contrast it, there are three people working the front desk fiddling with their iPhones not even looking up or paying attention to guests. Additionally, there are two people making drinks behind the bar and not going out to take drink orders. MyRotary District has this place booked for mid September. I'm not returning and I'm a district officer. I'll do my best to get this relocated elsewhere. Worst excuse for a convention place ever restaurant. Visualizza piatti
