Bardea Steak

Bardea Food & Drink co-owners Scott Stein and Chef Antimo DiMeo expanded their restaurant group with Bardea Steak, a new concept in Downtown Wilmington DE in Fall 2022. The 5,000 SF steakhouse is adjacent to their current location and features a 120-seat open hearth restaurant with horseshoe-shaped, dark wood-topped bar and four-season sunroom with porcelain mosaic tile flooring, sky lights, bifold windows, and a back bar area. The landscaped street-side patio includes bistro-style tables and a small lounge with attention-grabbing white stucco and painted wood trim, factory glass windows and spotlights. Inside, a decorative fireplace made of steel, emerald-hued tile, and red brick will be nestled between leather banquettes. Wood slat booths line the wall leading closer to the hearth, featuring more emerald-hued tile, steel and custom millwork.

Le Cavalier at The Green Room | Wilmington, DE

After over 100 years serving the Wilmington community, the HOTEL DU PONT’s revered Green Room restaurant has been redesigned and re-conceptualized into a French brasserie. Le Cavalier at the Green Room is a bustling and progressive French brasserie open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch seven days a week, 365 days a year. 

Known for ornate design elements from the fumed oak paneling, to the coffered oak-beamed ceiling, gold chandeliers, richly textured draperies, and Italian mosaics, the Green Room is celebrated for bringing the elegance and grandeur of the Gilded Age into the 21st century.

The restaurant, designed by Stokes Architecture & Design, boasts 125 seats with an intimate 14 seat bar, a private dining room and seasonal outdoor patio seating on Rodney Square. Director of Design, Lance Saunders, has thoughtfully updated the space to create a more lively atmosphere while celebrating the room’s elegant bones.
