Sat out on their lovely patio for dinner. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. So great to have a neighborhood restaurant so close by!! Less

During our recent week long stay in Wilmington we visited the Cardinal three nights - one night was live piano music, another was 1/2 price burger night and the final night was for a relaxing post dinner cocktail. The owner Russell was gracious, the bartender Katie was charming and attentive, and our fellow bar patrons were friendly and engaging. The food was well prepared and satisfying. We very much enjoyed ourselves and look forward to returning! Less

This was a very good experience both times I have been. The food was good the service was good and the owner personally came out and shared information about upcoming specials and events. Very nice and a very neighborly atmosphere. Less

Great neighborhood spot if you want lots of options and not bar food but a casual atmosphere! Ashley and Don are always awesome and we’re so excited they’re upgrading the patio! Less
