Wormwood absolutely blew us away. We came in for a celebration dinner and had such an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was phenomenal. The chef’s crispy-skin sea bass was easily one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time — perfectly cooked with that incredible crispy skin. I also highly recommend taking advantage of Happy Hour because it’s truly an elite time to go, but definitely follow it up with a dinner entrée. You won’t regret it. The cocktails were just as impressive — decadent, creative, and beautifully done. I especially loved the Hugo Spritz. And a huge shoutout to Marjorie behind the bar, who was so incredibly kind and generous. She treated us to a digestif cocktail at the end of our meal, which was such a thoughtful touch and the perfect way to end an already amazing celebration dinner. Savannah and Ryan were also fantastic. They had such great menu recommendations and really took the time to make the meal feel special. Their knowledge and enthusiasm genuinely brought the whole experience to life. Between the food, cocktails, service, and atmosphere, Wormwood is absolutely somewhere I’d return to. An exceptional dining experience all around.

The food, service, beautiful city view setting were tremendous. One of the best meals I have ever had. So glad we dined with Mr A. I especially appreciated the numerous gluten free opens. A gem.

Awesome food! We ordered the mussels, escargot, Pear salad, steak fritte, scallop w/ risotto, jidori chicken and pork chops. Every dish was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection! So delicious! This was our 2nd visit and everything was just as delish as our first visit! We will definitely be back!

As usual, the food was insane. We went especially on Thursday to enjoy the special of the night, filet of sol. It did not disappoint. Beautifully seasoned the flaky flesh melted in your mouth. We can always depend on a Lucious meal at Du Marche. Don’t wait! Enjoy this amazing place!

Can’t say enough about the service from start to finish. Matthew is the best! Tried the tuna carpaccio on his suggestion and it did not disappoint! Food is always fabulous!
