Mailbag: Answering readers questions

I received some questions from readers that I'll answer this morning. But just an FYI, we're going to start a regular Q&A feature on Fridays where we'll answer all queries that come in during the week - unless it's something urgent. In the meantime, here is what's on your minds:

What happened to the 821 Restaurant? I called today and got a message that the phone number has been temporarily disconnected.

Relax, 821 fans. The downtown Wilmington restaurant is just having some phone problems. Here's an mail I just received.

Hi Patricia,
We're having some problems with the phone wiring in our building right now,
and I apologize for any inconvenience that it's causing any of your readers.
Verizon is working on correcting the issue right now, and our phones should
be up and running by end of business today.
If you have any questions, please contact us by email, restaurant.eighttwentyone@verizon.net
Thanks,
Kelly Hinkle

Restaurants near the Wilmington riverfront: Can you recommend a few places? I would greatly appreciate it - thank you!

I'm not sure of your price point. (Readers please give me or Eric Ruth an idea of what you want to spend and the cuisine you like and we can probably be a little more helpful.) Harry's Seafood Grill is always a fun choice. For more casual dining, there's Iron Hill Restaurant & Brewery. Wanna a steakhouse? Check out ConleyWard's.

Three friends would like to go out for Sunday Brunch tomorrow in the North Wilmington or Chadds Ford area. Where would you suggest? Thanks, Judy.

Ah, Sunday brunch. Give me a spicy Bloody and I'm a happy camper. Corner Bistro on Silverside Road in Wilmington offers brunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Buckley's Tavern in Centreville has a special where if you wear pajamas to their Sunday brunch your meal is half off. Really. The newly opened Brandywine Prime in Chadds Ford just started a brunch. I'm also a big fan of the tiny Hank's Place on U.S. 1 and Rte. 100 for breakfast - very diner casual and very good - but it's always very crowded.

Am I missing someplace obvious or even better? Write in and let us know!

Iron Hill on the Riverfront has an awesome brunch.

In the Newark area, I love Caffe Gelato for Sunday brunch - their Mimosa's alone are worth the trip. Top your meal off with a refreshing gelato.
