Our stay at The Westin in Delaware started with a slight misstep – we arrived just after the 10 am breakfast cutoff. Disappointed but ready for dinner (starting at 5 pm), we waited eagerly for the doors to open.
Upon entering, we were promptly seated and warmly welcomed by Ariana and our server, Sam. Their attentiveness and friendliness immediately impressed us. When I mentioned the lack of a microwave in the room and my desire for the roasted chicken, Sam surprised me by offering to have maintenance bring one! This blew me away, and I happily accepted her offer. My husband, Dr. Angel, opted for the cheeseburger. Both portions were generous, and we couldn’t finish them all.
The next morning, we enjoyed a delicious in-room breakfast. This Thanksgiving getaway was the perfect blend of relaxation, planning for future business ventures, and indulging in delicious food. While our room and the hotel was very dated, the staff, particularly Sam, were exceptional and made our stay truly memorable. We will definitely be returning to The Westin in the future!
Let’s start with the good stuff. Sam, our server, was fantastic. She’s got this way of making you feel right at home, attentive and friendly without being overbearing. It’s service like hers that can really make a meal memorable.
The chicken I had tonight was pretty impressive, too. Cooked just right, flavorful, and hit the spot perfectly. The drinks were another win – mixed well and complemented the meal nicely.
But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. I ordered a burger last night, asked for it medium, but it came out more on the well-done and slightly charred side. It’s those little details in cooking that can make a big difference.
The menu could do with a bit of a shake-up, too. It’s a bit on the narrow side for my liking. They could really benefit from adding a filet or something similar for steak lovers. It would round out their offerings nicely.
And, the cheesecake… well, it wasn’t quite up to par. It gave off that store-bought or maybe thawed vibe, which you don’t really expect in a place like this. Homemade desserts would be a game-changer for their menu.
I’m in Wilmington quite a bit, a few weeks each year, so I’m really invested in places like River Rock Kitchen. They’ve got some solid groundwork, but with a few tweaks, they could really elevate their game. Fingers crossed they take this to heart – a place with this much potential deserves to shine.
Once my best friend and I dined at the bistro, we were welcomed by two female staff members. Good customer service is appreciated very much.
We weren’t too hungry so we ordered a large bowl of their crispy and well-seasoned fries and beverages. We came during lunchtime. The prices are reasonable and the restrooms are simply immaculate and contemporary. I was impressed.
This is a great place for a good meal with indoor and outdoor seating. I hope to return soon to explore more tasty items off their menu! Recommended.
