We sat down with Executive Chef Steve Taplin of Bar Reverie in Greenville, Delaware. Bar Reverie is a cafe by day, travel-inspired dining by night, wine bar restaurant featuring modern American cuisine. The menus feature favorites like hand-cut steaks, fresh pasta, and exciting new contemporary dishes like the crowd-favorite seared scallops with sweet potato, cranberry, and king trumpet mushroom.

Wilmington, Delaware and the Brandywine Valley are just a short distance from all points in the Mid-Atlantic region—making it ideal for a quick weekend getaway. The rolling hills and magnificent estates of Chateau country recall the French countryside. Wilmington is one of the oldest cities in the United States; Delaware was the first state, with a history dating back to the early 17th century.
