Awesome Vegan Fine Dining - Edit
I’m both vegan and gluten-free and it’s great to have a place where I know without asking that I can eat absolutely anything on the menu. And, from appetizers to desserts, it really is all good. And interesting flavors and combinations. Everything is well thought out - food, cocktails and mock tails, and decor. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. I always check out the ladies room and this one gets an A for being really clean, having all of the things that should be there, and reusable hand towels.
Read morePros: A relaxed, welcoming vibe. , The food is fabulous. , They have reusable hand towels in the bathroom.
Cons: Very expensive. , This last visit the music was too loud. , But really, it’s all good. 😊

A gem in Wilmington, NC - Edit
From the minute you step in it is a wonderful experience! The staff, the ambiance, the menu. Impeccable taste! Menu changes accordingly to seasons, they have dinner hours and brunch on weekends. The food is unbelievably good and the bar has incredible alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails as well as wine and beer. By far my favorite restaurant!!! And my non-vegan husband’s too!

This is it! - Edit
This is the vegan restaurant we really needed in Wilmington. I went there today on for my birthday dinner, and it was the highlight of the day. The atmosphere, service, food, everything was perfection. The food was unique and some of the freshest (hence the name) plants I’ve ever consumed. The Green House is a must-go!

Lived up to the hype - Edit
It is amazing that a 100% vegan and gluten free menu can be this delectable. The cheese board was delicious though the portions were tiny (just enough for a taste of each cheese and sausage). There were 4 of us and 4 entrees to choose from so we each got one and had a taste of each. I had the lions mane Milanese which was delicious but I would have been happy with any of the dishes! We also ordered all 3 of the desserts and shared them—again how to choose between examples of perfection?! Definitely pricey but great for a date night or special occasion. Ambiance is great and they use low waste/sustainable practices.

Fantastic Dining Experience - Edit
There are still very few completely vegan restaurants and even fewer really nice, upscale ones. The Green House is definitely one of the best I have ever been delicious.! It is just amazing how tasty plant-based food can be when prepared with care, creativity and love and respect for the planet. The actual physical environment is lovely and has an elegant, relaxed vibe. Very, very nice decor. The personnel from the waitresses, to the manager to the owner was also great. They were just so welcoming and hospitable. There was a misunderstanding on the main dish that my husband ordered. He decided to just eat it but when the manager found out, she insisted on giving him the additional dish with no extra charge to take with us. We felt really cared for and had a great evening! Highly recommend this restaurant!!
Read morePros: Excellent, well-prepared dishes, Beautiful decor , Super nice personnel

Amazing attention to detail - Edit
Had a great experience, from the drinks to the food to the service. Appreciated the attention to detail and the beautiful presentation. Especially loved the Stacy’s cardamom mocktail and the warm potato salad! Will definitely be coming back next time I’m in Wilmington!

Vegan Fine Dining - Edit
Amazing to have an entire menu vegan and gluten free! Although it made choosing really hard. We ate on the patio with heaters for dinner and spent about two hours sampling as much as we could. Love that they have a Zero Proof drink menu too!
Read moreWe also were offered to order off the tapas menu from lunch which was a nice bonus.
I got the butternut minestrone which was described as having a squash base but was actually just a few chunks of butternut among some other veg. It was the only dish I could easily have made at home and wasn’t as thrilled with.
The charcuterie board was yummy and a great item to share and whet our appetites.
I had the gnocchi for an entree and wasn’t in love with it (a bit oily for me) so I swapped with my dad and ate his autumn harvest which I enjoyed.
Wonderful service, and a really special experience. I probably shouldn’t have gone running beforehand because I wasn’t full after (this is a place for presentation not volume.)
Much appreciation for a great night out!

Eaten here twice since they opened it’s the best vegan food I’ve had in a long time. We travel a lot and always enjoy the finest vegan restaurants when we do. This is the best I’ve had. Of fine dining vegan.

Well done - Edit
If you want an upscale, fresh, delicious dining experience this is the place in wilmington. It’s pricey but I personally find it worth supporting a local all vegan business and the occasional night out to treat yourself! Food, drinks, service, and atmosphere are on point! I think it’s mostly (if not all) gluten free as well if that’s something you need. Non vegans will love too!
Read morePros: All vegan , Great friendly service , Fresh & flavorful
Cons: Expensive (but it is considered more fine dining)

One of my favorite Wilmington meals!!! - Edit
Although I eat mainly WFPB now, I am open to dining at other restaurants and eating a wide variety of non-WFPB cuisines. My husband & I dined at The Green House last night and I can honestly say that it was one of my all-time favorite meals in Wilmington. The service was impeccable. The atmosphere was lovely. The food was sooo yummy!! We shared the courses. As a starter, we had the Mushroom Board - WOW!! The mushroom bacon was the bomb!! Every offering on the board was spectacular and unique. Our salad, the Beets & Farm Cheese, was very flavorful and appealing to the eye. Our Eggplant Filet was so surprising! I never would have thought to prepare eggplant as a hearty filet with a reduction sauce - so wonderful! The chocolate cake was perfect - rich, chocolaty, and not overly sweet with a really beautiful presentation. As someone with a treenut allergy, I was still able to have a glorious meal - I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything, which is not always the case in vegan restaurants. I wish I could post photos because the meal and interior were quite impressive. It didn’t feel like Wilmington.

Nice, but not 5 Star material... - Edit
Finally got the opportunity to go to the Green House Restaurant (GHR), after waiting, given COVID normal operations and shortages. Many different observations. The physical restaurant was beautiful, the staff... friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and yet, very busy. We chose to seat outside, in the very green and lovely garden patio. A couple of observations... noisy with the traffic on Oleander... the table to chair height ratio off, sat too low, and they should consider a ceiling fan to move the air, helping with gnats and the occasional second-hand cigarette some from the surrounding outdoor restaurant. The black glass-top table was not clean when we were seated and we mentioned it to the hostess, but no one bothered to wipe it.
Read moreThe dishes look amazing on the website menu and were equally beautiful when served. The Arugula & Herbs salad was excellent and yet nothing special for a great salad. Each of the dishes seemed to lack adequate seasoning. The King Trumpet Scallions looked astonishing and tasted very good, but it was not scallops, the texture being equal to taste for me. The Aubergine Filet was tasty, and I do like eggplant, but did not remind me of steak, in taste or texture. The biggest disappointment was the Italian Sausage & Fennel dish. The sauce was bitter, and again, the Sausage texture was not even close.
So, as a confirmed meat lover and consumer, I pose an age-old question: Why do vegans make food look like meat? If the drive to end (or slow) the meat protein sins, why not present the food as non-meat. Skeuomorphism will not change the culture and does not (for me at least) bring me closer to my family and culture... and does not serve as a bridge to veganism.
My wife who was most interested in giving the GHR a try, and enjoys tasty small bits and seldom eats again after a meal... as soon as we arrived home, prepared and consumed a quick burrito made with homemade pork chili verde from our refrig. Likely a good thing that PTs Grille was closed. COVID times are challenging and the GHR is definitely worth a try but unequivocally not 5 Star dining experience for me and not worth the $$$$ cost.
Pros: Beautiful establishment, Knowledgeable Staff, Dishes are visually appealing
Cons: Expensive for the experience, Dishes trying to look like meat, Seasonings on dishes need improvement

Nailed the eggplant filet - Edit
Fantastic work! We had the mushroom plate, Golden latté, the arugula salad, ribbons of root salad, summer vegetable entree, eggplant filet, and matcha brulée.
Read moreEach brought something special to the table. Nearly every first bite left us excited about the dish, with plenty of dish leftover to enjoy.
Each item was masterfully prepared, balanced, and accessible.
Their system is classically effective at serving patrons.
We had an excellent time. If you are in Wilmington and want a top tier fine dining experience, give them a visit.
