My husband and I both work in downtown Wilmington so we’ll just walk from our firms and meet there for dinner. The food there is top notch! Absolutely delicious and fresh! The service is amazing too. Don’t let the fear of parking deter you because they offer valet parking but we always walk there. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting up with friends for a couple of drinks there as well. The bars are stunning. The restaurant bar is very nice and well appointed then they have an upstairs bar/lounge which is beautiful! It also has a beautiful outdoor bar attached to the upstairs bar which is amazing for warmer weather! The coolest bar though that they have is downstairs in I guess the basement which is more like a speakeasy. The atmosphere is soooo different and plain amazing!!!! We just LOVE this place!!!
The food and our waitress were fantastic. The manager (young white male) was insensitive, daft and uncouth to a member of our party who needed a service dog. He actually stated to her that the dog needed to be for a legitimate medical necessity highlighting her condition.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Perfect Anniversary Night at The Quoin My wife and I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary at The Quoin, and the entire experience was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The atmosphere struck a perfect balance—sophisticated without feeling stuffy, warm and inviting with an open kitchen that felt alive and welcoming. The staff was gracious, attentive, and truly seemed to enjoy helping create a memorable experience for guests. We started with the Yellowfin Tuna Crudo and Crispy Octopus—both beautifully balanced in flavor and presentation. The Piadina Melanzana was a standout vegetarian dish that didn’t feel like a compromise in any way. The Potato Quoins were indulgent and comforting, and the Maitake Mushrooms with truffle vinaigrette delivered deep, rich flavor in every bite. For dessert, the Trifle with orange curd and diplomat cream was a refreshing and elegant ending to the meal. The drinks—Midsummer Nights and the Lavender Spritz—were equally well-crafted, striking just the right mood for the night. What made it truly special wasn’t just the food or the drinks, but the overall energy of the space. There was something romantic, modern, and grounded in the experience—like the restaurant is confident in who it is, and that allows guests to fully relax and enjoy. We left feeling full, happy, and grateful. Highly recommend for any special occasion—or anytime you want to feel a little more connected to your food and your company.
I've gone here a couple of times for a business team dinner and love it every time! The menu is small but all dishes are thoughtful and tasty. The strawberry salad is refreshing and octopus was crispy . They have a good drink selection and creative mocktails The restaurant itself has a beautiful interior design that mixes retro and modern styles.
Tried a new place in Wilmington, Delaware called Quoin Hotel & Restaurant. Lots of potential in my opinion. We started out on the patio, but it was a bit buggy and lots of street noise so we moved inside. Looks like a great bar and the seating was excellent. Our server was terrific (Bridgette) and super knowledgeable, but service was a little inconsistent considering we had an early seating. I had the duck & pappardelle which was fantastic and the exact right portion size, but only lukewarm. I followed that with the Bronzino with fennel and citrus salad. Really light phenomenal entree! I finished with the chocolate almond torta which was the perfect way to end the meal. Evan’s brick grilled chicken had great taste but was lukewarm. They also neglected to remove the tomatoes even after we had an entire pre-meal conversation about tomatoes and cilantro. Ginny and Evan both loved their shrimp fettuccine (again not quite hot) and Ginny thought the sticky toffee pudding was better than her favorite from Gordon Ramsey!! Well worth a try but be careful about parking (we valeted).
The Quoin is a wonderful place to dine in downtown Wilmington. I have been a few times for dinner and this is the second year in a row that we have booked The Quoin for our holiday dinner and both years were spectacular. We usually have a party of about 20 people. The food is excellent and the service is top notch. Highly recommend.
