My fiancee and I stopped in to the Soft Launch of the new Ulysses Gastropub on Marsh Road in North Wilmington, and am happy to report that it is fantastic. It has pretty cool decor – a cool bar area, as well as a seating area, but we’re here to talk about food.
We started with the dry rub chicken wings, with gorgonzola blue cheese. Easily in the top 5 best wings I’ve ever had (Could very well be #1.. need more research). They have an impressive list of fancy and obscure beers on tap, as well as in bottles. I’m not much of a beer guy, so I was very happy to see Strongbow Cider on the menu, and had a couple of those. For the main course, I had the Blackened Catfish Ruben. Their ruben has coleslaw instead of saurkraut (which I think would make it a Corned Beef Special, or in this case a … Blackened Catfish Special? Ruben sounds much better), and was not disappointed. The roll was fantastic, the fish superb, and the coleslaw was quite delicious. I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I saw it on the menu, but I was very happy with it, and would order it again.
All in all, probably a 8.5/10. One of the best spots around, in my opinion. Looking forward to the Grand Opening.
