The University and Whist Club is truly one of Wilmington’s hidden gems. From the moment you walk into the historic Tilton Mansion, you’re greeted with elegance and warmth. The dining experience is top-tier—every meal beautifully prepared and served with care. As a member, I’ve enjoyed not only the exquisite food but also the sense of community and tradition the club fosters. We also hosted our daughter’s wedding here, and the service, setting, and attention to detail were simply outstanding. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a timeless, refined experience.
