July 26, 2003 Sullivan's Steakhouse 5525 Concord Pk, Wilmington, DE (302) 479-7970

Strengths: Food. The quality of steaks, their preparation and accompanying dishes are second to none. I would rate this restaurant as the signature steakhouse in Delaware. As good if not better than restaurants I visited in on the strip in Las Vegas, for those of you who have been there. A beautiful and plentiful wine cellar with a sommelier to help with our choice of wine.

Service: Plenty of staff and all professionally trained. We were well attended, in just the right measure. The patron is definitely #1 at Sullivan's.

Could use Improvement: It's a very popular restaurants as I can certainly understand and it gets filled very quickly. It was already full at 6:30 p.m. on a Saturday evening. However, we felt slightly pressured to eat faster than we would have intended. Our waiter followed our dining pace after a while.

Turn Off’s: None.

Handicap Accessibility: Good.

Parking: Plenty

7-26-2003 The Wilmington/Christiana Hilton, 302 454 1500, 100 Continental Drive, Newark, DE 19713

Strengths: My omlette, et. al. [shore did!] was very nicely done.

Service: Alas, my water glass wasn't refilled. Otherwise it would have been fine.

Could use Improvement: The vinyl booth seats should be replaced for a better material.

Turn Off’s: None.

Handicap Accessibility: Good.

7-25-2003 Vincente's Restaurant, (302) 652-5142, 1601 Concord Pike, Wilmington, DE

Strengths: The steak was as good as it gets. I was very pleased with the flavor, consistency, and seasoning. The crab meat was generous and first rate.

Service: Service was very good, although we will definitely have to go back again. Just one visit hardly meets scientific methodology.

Could use Improvement: To compete with the finest restaurants, Vencente's will have to develop a refinement that has yet eluded it.

Turn Off’s: There was a feint musty odor. Perhaps the carpet, or the air conditioning should be looked at as the culprit.


Handicap Accessibility: Good.
