Reviews for Columbus Inn in Wilmington, DE
The Arugula Salad was delicious, just the right amount of dressing. The Old Fashion was strong in just the right way. The... interior is dimly lit which added a nice ambience to the meal. It is a nice combination between fine dining andcasual. Everyone else in the party enjoyed their meals as well. Definitely a place worth checking out at least once. Read more
Cookie ala mode is best dessert ever! Burger and filet mignon sandwich were exceptional! Melt in your mouth kind of food and... cocktails were delicious. Very hard to get a reservation on weekends! Read more
See update at bottom regarding cleanliness issue . Original post: Had dinner here recently, we ordered a strange combination of... items to try and everything was delicious. Smash burger was tasty… fried rice side was very good , pizza was delicious.Strawberry tart dessert was incredible. Will definitely be returning to try more items. Update: just returned for our secondvisit and sadly our last… server picked up a menu off the floor and touched the floor when picking it up. He sat it on a cleanserving station with salt and pepper shakers and rolled silverware and came over to ask if we needed drink refills while wewaited on our food. Since we saw him touching the floor, we asked if he could please wash his hands. He developed an attitudeand found it necessary to tell the two ladies at the hostess station we had requested him to wash his hands, which prompted themto shoot an, “Are you kidding me look” in our direction. At this point we got up to leave without eating. We told thehostess we were cancelling our order, offered to just pay for our soda and had to explain to her why we did not want to eat atan establishment where serving staff pick up items off the floor, do not wash their hands, get offended when you ask them to,and then go talk about their customers…sadly won’t be back- disappointing because the food was good.

Always great to dine here. When you have cocktails you will spend some money per person but it is so worth it. Save room for... dessert and great after dinner drinks too! Read more
Great atmosphere, staff and food. Everyone was friendly and the food arrived very quickly. The calamari was delicious. My dirty... Martini was darn near perfect. Salmon and risotto was very tasty. Read more
The interior design inside Columbus inn restaurant is absolutely stunning. There is limited parking esp on weekends so arrive... early. I ordered the agave margarita and it was very refreshing! The seasonal salmon dish with mushroom butternut squash risottowas amazing! One of the best salmon dishes I’ve tried in a while. The maple, bourbon & black pepper beef short rib entree cameback completely crispy and on the bone. The short rib entree came with cheesy broccoli which does not really fit, flavor profilewise to me. I unfortunately had to send it back, I could not get past the carbon taste. Thankfully the pumpkin brûlée savedthe night, it was super delicious. I would return again despite the one entree. The waiter was very nice and attentive allnight. Read more
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 quitecozy and inviting. The kitchen is always on top of its game. From our most recent visit, here are pics of the shrimp cocktail,the pan roasted jail salmon, and the filet mignon. All were delicious, though the salmon was slightly disappointing. Theflavor of the corn and tomatoes overpowered the subtle flavor of the salmon itself. Not pictured was the peanut butter cupdessert was spectacular. Somehow they have been spared the post-COVID work shortage. Wait staff was abundant, attentive, andfriendly. Overall, HIGHLY recommended. Also, you should definitely make a reservation. Read more
