We booked here for NYE and were not disappointed! The drinks were really good, and the food was not a pre fix menu. The service was excellent. Would make another NYE res and will def be back for lunch and more dinners soon!

This is a top notch restaurant staffed by amazing people. The food( i had the carrot soup special and the salmon sandwich) was delicious and my mock tail so good. I was in the area to visit Wintertur (an hour from home) and my phone became weirdly non- functional . My waiter was attuned to my worry and gave the phone to the manager (Justin) who actually googled a solution and returned it to me functional again. This was above and beyond. The food was yummy and the staff welcoming and caring! Give it a try-very close to Wintertur. I know i will be returning.

Food was very good and the atmosphere was nice. Service could use just a little improvement. It appeared it was just our server.

Eclipse was a very pleasant place to have a light lunch before 3:00 p.m. when most other places opened. It has simple and very nice decor, our waitress vzw extremely pleasant, efficient and very accommodating when my drink was not what I expected. The house pino noir was acceptable and the food was tasty. Just visiting Wilmington but if local would probably go again.

As you enter, the diminutive bar beckons. There's a nice selection of wines by the glass, as well as several intriguing cocktails. The adjoining dining area isn't terribly large, but the tables are quite comfortable and well-spaced. You're just far enough from your neighbors to carry on a discreet conversation, but just close enough to savor a bit of that bustling bistro bonhomie. The service, in true bistro fashion, is friendly, exceedingly knowledgeable and, even on the busiest of evenings as smooth as a Japanese railroad. The food, I would hasten to add, is as agreeably cozy as the ambience. Like the atmosphere, it's charmingly sophisticated without being the least bit stuffy... And Julia Child's maxim, inscribed above the semi-open kitchen, tells it all: "Cooking is like love, it should be entered into with abandon or not at all." To start things off, the Mushroom & Chorizo Tart is nothing sort of extraordinary. Wild mushroom ragù is companioned by spicy hits of chorizo sausage and baked in a perfectly prepared crust. The pièce de resistance, however, is the incomparable gastrique, a reduction of vinegar and sugar that can be infused with a variety of culinary options. In this case, the fortuitous ingredient of choice is sherry. It is designed to bring out the assertive flavors of a particular dish and look good while doing it. An addictive treat for both eye and palate. Equally recommended is a recently sampled daily special: the Chicken Corn & Avocado Fritter. You can always count on the Eclipse kitchen to come up with something uniquely distinctive; and the fritter most assuredly fills the bill. The batter is just the right consistency. Then, of course, there's that incredible poblano/potato cream sauce... rich, but not at all heavy or cloying... beautifully & subtly seasoned... and velvety smooth on the palate. Seldom have I sampled a dish so utterly beguiling. Kudos to the kitchen. A must try. The restaurant's salads also make excellent starters. The Caesar is quite good, though not terribly exciting. I much prefer the Bibb Lettuce spruced up with grape tomatoes pine nuts, shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano, and splash of dynamite preserved orange vinaigrette. My nod, however, goes to the Wedge Salad. This is a menu item that has recently suffered from a good deal of "ubiquitous consumption" of late. Be that as it may, Eclipse's rendition succeeds admirably where others often fail. Not only is the iceberg pristinely fresh, as you would expect, but the other accoutrements - namely the tomatoes, lardons, and creamy Stilton dressing - are more than generously applied. The latter is particularly important, as, in many eateries, you usually run out of dressing long before you run out of Wedge. No such worries here however. As you move on to the entrées, possibilities abound - all gently tweaked by the kitchen's captivating caresses. The Pan-Seared Scallops, for example, are pillowed on mushroom risotto, aided and abetted by an intriguing chorizo relish, shot of sherry gastrique, and splash of truffle oil. The Bistro Catch (fish of the chef's choosing) is presented on an island of saffron dirty rice accompanied by roasted broccoli and a zippy sauce etouffée. And speaking of matters piscatorial, nothing quite beats the extraordinary Seared Ahi Tuna. Succulently rare, it arrives at table on an island of vegetable ragout surrounded by a rich sea of smoked butternut squash purée. The crowning touch...? A stylish splash of tangy balsamic glaze. Tuna is a rather robust denizen of the deep, and the kitchen's chosen accompaniments prove to be excitingly complementary in their strong supporting roles. Meatier matters are ably represented by the likes of a hefty Black Angus New York Strip, Pan Seared Venison Loin, European Chicken Breast, and Sherry Braised Pork Shank. But if there is one entrée that is an absolute must, it is the kitchen's incomparable rendition of Pappardelle Bolognese. Its consistency is neither too dry nor too soupy, its flavors intense without being over the top, and its seasonings - including a sublime hint of tarragon - are exhilarating without being intrusive. Desserts carry on the kitchen's good work. Possibilities include a number of old favorites like Molten Chocolate Cake and S'mores Bread Pudding, as well as a top-notch Chocolate Truffle Gelato. But the table - and personal - favorite proved to be the incomparably delicious Lemon Tart Brûlée, an innovate takeoff on the traditional Crème Brûlée. The perfect conclusion to a most satisfying evening. Highly recommended on all counts, Eclipse Bistro is surely worth a journey... Well, a short road trip at the very least.

Very much enjoyed our Friday-night dinner catching up with friends at Eclipse Bistro. With the shades pulled down so the light was muted and diners weren't blinded by the setting sun, the dining room felt cozy and service was stellar. We started with a variety of Old Fashioned drinks and a delicious "No Buzz" cocktail, That's My Jam (blueberry syrup, mint, honey, lime, ginger beer), which had just the right amount of bite. We shared Crispy Calamari (crispy rings, capers, olives, tomatoes, red chili aioli) and Brussels & Cauliflower (prosciutto, marcona almonds, smoked paprika-honey vinaigrette), which were both delicious. We enjoyed the bread basket (especially the basil-y olive oil) while waiting for our entrees. Both the Crab Cakes (garlic & herb roasted potatoes*, sauteed haricot verts, lemon-dill tartar sauce) and the Eclipse Burger (bacon, cooper, beefsteak tomato, romaine, brioche roll) were well received. To cap off the meal, we indulged in port, a bread pudding, and the chocolate lava cake with espresso gelato, which everyone agreed was a must-get-again dish! Would definitely recommend, if dining in Wilmington. *Subbed out for the inviting french fries I saw circulating the dining room and was not disappointed!

My friend and I stopped in and had a wonderful time! I got the salmon sandwich, a Lychee Sour, and a blueberry mocktail, and my friend got the salmon salad. Service was quick and friendly, and the restaurant is beautiful on the inside!

What a pleasant surprise! We were in town for a couple of days and were told this would be a good place for lunch. It was. The fried asparagus were delightful. They were fried perfectly, tender, and the sauce was very good. The hamburger with goat cheese, mushrooms, and bun was fantastic and I do not often eat hamburgers out, but my friend wanted one; we shared it. The hamburger is definitely something one can share especially if one gets another side dish. Our waiter was very nice and fun too. If back in town again, will definitely seek this place out for a meal.
