Beautiful renovation! The atmosphere is stunning, and we had a lovely evening. The food was delicious, and we had appetizers, entrees, and dessert. The dessert was most impressive and very creative. We tried all 3, and the citrus honey and Panna cotta were outstanding, and of course, chocolate is always delicious! The appetizers were also amazing. The fondue and burrata salad were my favorite of what we tried, but I can’t wait to go back and try more appetizers. I am not a pork chop fan, but their pork chop was beautiful, and the flavors paired together perfectly. The service was good, and I am sure as they get a better flow and established for a while, it will be superb. We went in the first week that they opened, which is why I feel it will just continue to be more elevated for fine dining in Wilmington. Was a beautiful evening and highly recommend for a special occasion. I also want to dine outside in the fall! It’s absolutely beautiful at the Graystone!

From the moment we walked in for our dinner reservation we were treated with friendliness and warmth. The atmosphere is both upscale and comfortable at the same time. Our server walked us through both the drink and dining menus and was able to answer any questions we had. He was attentive throughout the meal, yet never intrusive. And…….the food! Can’t say enough about the delicious food! Each item was stellar but the Raclette Fondue was life changing. The Filet was cooked to perfection and the Potato Gratin was a delight. With each bite you can taste the quality of the ingredients and the care given to each dish. End the meal with the chocolate hazelnut mousse for the perfect finale. If 6 stars existed then that would be our choice! Looking forward to.future visits!

Tried the new Preston restaurant in downtown Wilmington tonight. Sat at the bar and let Hillary and Derrick take care of me. Had the 05/06 Tequila craft cocktail and the Louisiana Shrimp. Both were excellent. Will definitely return. Love trying new spots.

From beginning to finish we were totally blown away with an amazing experience. From the minute you enter you’re welcomed with hospitality and treated like royalty. The ambiance of the dining room was spectacular with its historic charm, warmth and special attention to detail was incredible. The waiters, bartenders, hosts, managers and staff were most attentive and incredible. To start off the bar menu and selection was exceptional as I started with my favorite drink The Preston which I truly enjoyed to kickoff the meal. For our taste selection we enjoyed the deviled eggs that were delightful and perfect along with my absolute favorite bone marrow, which was a hint of sweet with the perfect balance of savory, the Preston Caesar, House Parker Rolls and the Louisiana Shrimp. Chef Thomas Calhoun and his staff hit every note so perfect with every bite as you can tell their level of detail to give us an extraordinary experience like to no other. Then for our main entree I enjoyed the most delicious Japanese Wagyu strip that was cooked to perfection with a side of the pomme pure. I’m a sweet tooth and no meal isn’t complete without dessert as the highlight and star was the citrus and honey. For Wilmington this dining establishment is a must and cannot be complete without experiencing this fine dining establishment you will not be disappointed! I cannot wait to come back with friends and family and have a drink outside in the front around the marvelous fire pits and seating arrangements. This place sets the bar incredibly high.
