Reviews for Little Dipper Fondue in Wilmington, NC
While on an evening stroll through downtown Wilmington, The Little Dipper caught my eye. I walked in and was immediately greeted... by Julie. Julie then sat me down at the bar where Brian gave me a cheesecake (with a candle for my birthday). While enjoying myNew York style cheesecake (there is a huge difference between a regular cheesecake and New York style…) the manager, Jenna,struck up a conversation with me and made me feel very comfortable and at home. All staff I encountered, including the bussers,were polite and welcoming. As a new Wilmington resident, I truly appreciate the hospitality. Read more
MOLDY BREAD! Keep reading- My husband booked a reservation for our anniversary tonight. We had wanted to come here since we... moved to Wilmington in 2019 and finally got to come. I have to say that our service was pretty sub par. My husband asked about asalad and the service responded with, “it looks pretty.” That’s all he could tell us and was not very knowledgeable aboutthe menu. This didn’t bother us so much, but when bringing out the first course, all of the veggies and bread they broughtwere hard, old, and covered with mold. Obviously we left right away, but this is so disappointing. I know they are recentlyunder new management and maybe that’s why they have went down hill. I would definitely not recommend or give a place like thisa second chance. Read more
This was my wife’s first time getting fondue, which blew my mind, and it was great. We order she crab soup and got the havarti... dill cheese blend for the cheese course. For the main course we had the Port and beef style with filet, pork, mahi, andportobello mushrooms. We choose four different dipping sauces: yum-yum, creamy horseradish, creamy dill, and Caribbean jerk bbq.All went great with our entree choices. We finished up with port and the chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel course. Weactually had desert at home but my wife was having such a good time we decided to get it there for the experience. It didn’tdisappoint. I’d recommend this place to anyone. Why go to melting pot when you can go out downtown and support a localbusiness? Read more
What a lovely place! I sat out on the deck during their live Thursday night music. The service was wonderful. Brian took care of... me, and was also the bartender for the night. The drinks he made were delicious. I had the key lime pie martini and a chocolatemartini. I also did the fontana cheese Fondue. It comes with a bowl of bread and then a plate with a mix of fruit (apples andgrapes) and veggies (roasted potatoes, carrots and broccoli) everything was really great. My husband's favorite was thepotatoes, I love bread so that was mine but I also really enjoyed the broccoli and apples. But really all of it worked reallywell with the cheese. The only thing I would change, and it's just a personal opinion, I would love if the bread, even if justsome of it, was toasted or grilled or in some way heated up to give it a little crunch. But really everything was perfect as is.Next time I go I want to try one of the dessert Fondues. I saw a few come out and they looked amazing. I was too full this timefor anything else. Great live music, beautiful spot where you can see the river and watch the sunset. I met the owners who wereso kind and friendly. I have some friends coming in town that asked for suggestions. I told them about little dipper and plan totell many more people about this spot. Read more
When you walk in you notice how clean this place is with friendly ready to serve staff. The scenery has salt water fish ready to... greet you at the door-very impressive! The food style goes above and beyond like anything traditional you’ll find. This is afondue setting to be prepared to have fun and indulge on portions where you walk away full! Don’t be discouraged though for afirst timer because staff walks you through everything and even leaves you a place card in case you forget! HIGHLY RECOMMEND anddefinitely a come again place.

So amazing, from the service, to the setting, to the food! My wife and I went here for our 5th anniversary and they gave us a... complimentary glass of champagne. We'll definitely be back! (Tuesday night, Locals' night!) Read more
What a lovely restaurant. Excellent food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Our bartenders that evening were... phenomenal! I would highly recommend making a reservation because they stay busy, but they still managed to fit us in even whenwe didn't have one. They made my birthday special, and I will certainly be returning the next time I'm in Wilmington! Read more
This was our first time and it was fantastic! We were in Wilmington for a few days and this was in walking distance of where we... were staying. I’m so glad we came and we will definitely be back the next time we visit. The wait staff was fantastic! Ourserver, Brian, knew it was our first time and was super helpful and friendly. Can’t recommend this place enough! Read more
