Excellent dinner: tasty calamari, large caesar salad, entrees had generous portions and loaded with flavor. Very good service and a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out for dinner in Wilmington.

Hands down to this restaurant! I already knew it was going to be a great restaurant when it was a line to get it! The food was amazing and atmosphere was inviting and enjoyable. My cousin and I had a blast!

Everything was tremendous. We started with 2 appetizers. The burnt ends had a very flavorful sauce and the perogies were fantastic with the pork belly. I had a couple of Apple Bourbon Smashes and my wife had the Apple Spritz. Both were excellent. I ordered the short rib entree which was tender, meaty, and tasted great accompanied by perfectly cooked broccoli. My wife ordered a pizza which she thoroughly enjoyed. Our little guy gave his chicken fingers and enthusiastic thumbs up. Service was great as he guided us through the menu. We are looking forward to returning.

Lovely restaurant! Plenty of parking, we were seated promptly and even though the kitchen was busy they did their best to make sure that our food got out to the table as fast as possible. The oysters were fresh, the appetizers were hot and the main dishes were plated beautifully. I will definitely go back. They made our special occasion perfect.

“Another Great Evening at Columbus Inn — Thanks to Jenna!”
Dined at the Columbus Inn for Happy Hour last evening with two good friends and had a wonderful experience. Jenna was our server — she also waited on us during our previous visit — and she was excellent once again. Friendly, personable, and easy to talk to, like chatting with a great friend.
We ordered from the happy hour menu and enjoyed a mix of appetizers — the cauliflower and Brussels sprouts were favorites — and each of us had a sandwich (mine was the crab cake). We finished with the homemade cookie for dessert — a must-try!
The food is always delicious, the drinks are excellent (I had wine this time, but the Blushing Lady martini is also a great choice), and the atmosphere and staff make it a favorite spot.
The only bittersweet part was learning our favorite server, Jenna, is moving out of state — we’ll miss her but wish her all the best in her new adventures. She truly made our visit memorable.
We’ll definitely be back soon!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Columbus inn for an impromptu date with my girlfriend, and I must say that my experience was truly exceptional. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, the food was amazing, and the service was top-notch. However, what truly made my visit outstanding was our waitress, Lauren.
Although it was her first time serving by herself, Lauren demonstrated an impressive level of professionalism and attentiveness throughout the entire meal. She was friendly, courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Lauren was an absolute pleasure to have as our server.
Overall, I highly recommend Columbus inn to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. And kudos to Lauren for an excellent job she did – she truly could teach the class on waitress etiquette. Five stars all around!

Have been a couple of times. The food is delicious, including the brunch buffet. Service is polite and attentive. You never know who you may see. My last visit ended up having a conversation with Senator Coons and President Biden.

3.5 Such friendly service and great ambience! We ordered the Hummus as an appetizer which was absolutely delicious. Loved the homemade hummus! We also ordered the crispy Brussel sprouts which were okay and the classic Caesar salad which was pretty okay as well (might have been a fault on our part to order a “classic” salad). For main courses, we got the Margherita pizza which we enjoyed and crab cakes which were a 4/5. Overall, we enjoyed and might come back with friends for the service and ambience (especially during Christmas), but the food was average.

What can I really add? Another great meal at the Columbus Inn. Adding some new pics. These are of the Arrogant Cauliflower appetizer, the “shareable” burnt ends appetizer, and the Filet Oscar, which is sort of new to the menu (filet mignon topped with hollandaise, crab, and asparagus). The food was delicious as usual. I will say that calling the burnt ends a “shareable” appetizer is a stretch. It’s not very big at all. Enough for one person. Overall though I still continue to recommend this restaurant highly.

We’ve been here multiple times since the original review. They continue to meet or exceed expectations. I’m adding four new pics: the shrimp taco appetizer, the cowboy pork chop, the short ribs, and the chicken parm. All delicious. Wait staff continues to do a great job. Highly recommend restaurant.
**Original review**
This is a very quaint restaurant with a good bar, nice atmosphere, and very good food. Frequent private events/parties are handled in separate rooms. There is outdoor dining on the porch which — although it overlooks the street — is really quite cozy and inviting.
The kitchen is always on top of its game. From our most recent visit, here are pics of the pan roasted jail salmon and the filet mignon. All were delicious, though the salmon was slightly disappointing. The flavor of the corn and tomatoes overpowered the subtle flavor of the salmon itself. Not pictured was the peanut butter cup dessert which was spectacular.
Somehow they have been spared the post-COVID work shortage.
Wait staff was abundant, attentive, and friendly.
Overall, HIGHLY recommended. Also, you should definitely make a reservation.
