The food and service were just great. Our server was efficient and personable but also gave us enough time to savor the meal. We particularly enjoyed the Pork Osso Buco, creative Calamari appetizer and Tiramisu. They even had a nice grappa and good espresso for after dinner. We'll certainly return.

We were staying in a B&B in Chadds Ford, PA and read the reviews of Eclipse. The B&B owner said she had difficulty talking guests into driving "all the way" (8 miles) down the road into Wilmington but asked us to bring back a review of Eclipse. We LOVED it! Very imaginative cocktails and menu selections! We had some very... More

We came here based on trip advisor's #1 ranking, and we were not disappointed and heartily agree! The atmosphere is cozy, but vibrant. The dining room was packed but we didn't have to shout over the ambient noise to be heard. The food was wonderfully well prepared. I had the flatiron steak, which was tender and flavorful in itself, and... More

We LOVED this restaurant! We have done a lot of fine dining over time but both my husband and I agreed the food here was really excellent. Tasted fabulous and beautiful presentation. We dined at the peak hour of 7pm on Saturday night and all tables were full. It took a little longer than usual for our entrees to arrive... More

Good food and service. Having been in the industry for a number of years and dining as a single on this occasion, I was particularly impressed by the service. I was loading up for the Delaware Marathon the next morning and had ordered an appetizer, salad, and a main course. The server kindly offered to request an appetizer portion of... More

Excellent burgers and tuna tartare. Served a great pesto with crusty bread before the meal. Local brew was great as was Malbec. Our favorite litmua test for dessert is bread pudding; a) that a restaurant serves it says a lot and b) what they do with it is essentially their statement on innovation. The s'mores bread pudding with chocolate was... More

While in Delaware for the weekend celebrating mt sister-in laws 30th Bday a small group of us were looking for a special place to have lunch. We decided on the Eclipse Bistro and we were delighted with our find. Everyone ordered something different and everything was done to perfection! Can't wait to go back for dinner on our next visit!

Great meal. The food here is top notch. I had the scallops with winter vegetables and could not have been more pleased. This is a great fine dining choice, not just for Wilmington, but for all of Delaware.
