New Mediterranean Concept From Bardea Restaurant Group To Open This Spring
A new restaurant from Antimo DiMeo is set to open this spring in downtown Wilmington. Ezme, a 50-seat concept at 625 N. Market Street, across from Bardea Food & Drink, draws inspiration from DiMeo’s travels through Greece, Turkey, and the Aegean Coast. The menu will feature shareable dishes across categories such as handhelds, mezze, and raw bar, alongside tasting options. Expect bold, ingredient-driven flavors with highlights including chicken gyro bao, kibbeh, and seafood-focused hummus dishes, all reflecting a modern, globally influenced approach to Mediterranean cuisine.

Iron Hill Brewery Set For Riverfront Reopening In May
Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant is set to return to Wilmington’s Riverfront, with a reopening planned in time for Mother’s Day. The popular brewpub will relaunch its 10,000-square-foot space at the Riverfront following its closure during the chain’s bankruptcy last year.
The Wilmington location is expected to resume operations with plans to bring back the brand’s house-brewed beer program alongside its familiar food menu. Once a cornerstone of the Riverfront dining scene, the reopening marks the return of one of the brewery’s former flagship sites.

Winterthur Marks 75 Years With Field & Fête Garden Party
