One of Wilmington’s best restaurants, Eclipse Bistro offers a spectacular menu of New American cuisine, crafting well-conceived dishes with excellent ingredients. The food walks a fine line between comfort and creativity, with desserts like the S’more bread pudding mixing classic preparation with haute ingredients. The ambience is intimate and well assembled, with little nooks for romantic encounters over food and wine. If you’re on your own, grab a seat at the bar—great appetizers are still available and the bartenders are some of the most gifted in the city, with a vast array of cocktails at their fingertips. If you’re a wine drinker, Eclipse is jumping on the wine flight trend, with three smaller servings coupled with your meal for the price of a single glass. It’s a great way to sample a taste of the restaurant’s surprisingly deep cellar.
