Irritated. Food was great, as always, however while WE were WAITING for our server to take our payment, guests actually stood by our table and sat down, while we were still sitting there. The hostess was WITH THEM. And allowed this. Treated us like it was OUR fault that we were just sitting there, taking up the table. We had to wait another 10 minutes for our check to be picked up, with strangers sitting at our damn table. My night took a turn, for sure. I should have said something to Paul, but I was too uncomfortable. I was there Saturday night, may 14.

Tonic Bar and Grille - horrible service today with mediocre food. My burger was still moving on my plate with the stuff just thrown together. I cant tell you how many times server walked past me and TOTALLY IGNORED me! Took the owner to stop and even take my order. Walked in at 12:15 and I JUST got my lunch. This downtown Wilmington - most people dont have that long for a lunch break! Ive been here before and has great service but today was the WORST! Do better!

Overall a positive experience with this restaurant. They offer a few unique dishes and a range of beers/alcohol. It is open layer than many restaurants in the area which is a big plus for busisness travelers. They do have pretty good happy hour specials for those who can make the times work. They have bar seating, indoor seating, as well as outdoor seating. The service was as expected. Worth a visit for a dinner or late night dining experience.

What a joke!!! Graham, the server, after numerous mistakes call me a jerk. Under his Loud Breath!! PAUL the great maître when I asked what happen to our sides dishes remarked "Your problem not mine". My question Im a great tipper but when confronted with such poor service what are you supposed to do? The food was good but wont go back till Butler gets rid of these buffoons and hire quality personnel

Wow what a change from Deep Blue. It has a very modern feel to it. The food is to die for, the filet migon steak was delicious. Tonic has so many craft beer options both on draft and in a bottle. Great place to go and watch the games! I will definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone in the area looking for some good food!

Love coming here!! Whether its for happy hour or a nice night out to eat, Tonic wins all the way around. The drinks are fantastic and the half chicken with risotto is my absolute favorite! Such a great atmosphere with attentive service that makes you feel like you are the most important person in the restaurant.

Steak was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes were probably the creamiest Ive ever had. Monday nights you get a free surf with your turf (remind the waiter. Mine tried to charge me). I went with the crab cake. Not my favorite but it was good. I appreciate that it had little to no filler.

Tonic is probably my favorite restaurant in Wilmington. The service is wonderful, and the food is fantastic. It gets busy at lunchtime, but they offer a very quick turnaround. The goat cheese appetizer is amazing! We go here for happy hour with co-workers on occasion and its a great time.

A tad disappointed. Very pretty to look at but not much selection and not much flavor. Meatball appetizer wasnt too bad but the onion soup was extremely watery and so was my drink. I dont mind an expensive meal just want to feel like it was worth it and I cant say this place is.

Very nice food, but service could use a little tweaking. We went there specifically for the oysters but our server (although very friendly) was not knowledgeable about them before ordering and then served the plate without identifying what the different types we had selected were.

My wife and I enjoyed a very nice dinner there for her birthday. We were lucky enough to stumble in on "date night" and were given a complimentary app and dessert. Our server was great, the food was excellent. I have already recommended several others to go.

If you go see the bartender, Zak. He is phenomenal and super attentive. Food is mediocre, but the drinks are the best. I have to say service by bartenders definitely boost this rating a ton because without them it would probably be a 2 star. Just saying.

A nicer, cleaner alternative to the Chelsea. When in town for a show or concert, skip the greasy fare at the Chelsea and opt for a more friendly and accommodating Tonic. The food was excellent and bartenders knowledgeable. Would dine again.

Went for a company dinner recently and the drinks and apps were great and we had 6 different apps and all were delicious. The entrees were good but not what I would call great or something to get excited over. I would definitely go again.

Great service and food, though a bit pricey for what you got. The place was empty when we stopped by (Saturday night), though I think that has more to do with downtown Wilmington night-life than the quality of the food & service.

The food there is subpar. The head chef Pat is the most rude selfish will get pissed off if you want to make a substitute any of your dishes and will catch an attitude with his hold staff about it

New York strips was cooked well, and a nice texture you tend to only find real in steak houses. Service was a bit uncoordinated and clumsy. I would play the bar moving forward.

Good, but not great. Nothing to complain about but nothing too memorable either. Good fixed price menu for the theater crowd. In and out in time for the show.

Salmon wrapped in prosciutto was a bit dry but had some nice flavor. One of the best gin and tonics Ive ever had at a bar, though, so it all balanced.

Good Cajun food, good service. Very dead when I visited, but seemed to be a nice place. A little too expensive for my taste - Boy I miss Fat Ricks

Our waiter was awesome. Super friendly and very hospitable/accommodating. My food was terrific but other people in my party didnt LOVE theirs.

Love the food. They will make a vegetarian plate. The seating could be a little bit more intimate. It feels very open--not to my liking.

Modern feel. Prime cuts of steak that give any steak house a run for its money. Great service. Friendly and local. Win win!

Food is very good. Creative mixed drink selection. Not a good draft beer bar. A little pricey. Service is great and casual.

Its easy to find. Just look for the flaming torches on the sidewalk. The food and service are excellent also.

Had a few drinks on the patio. Nice evening, good service and the cocktails were not bad.
