New restaurant in Old New Castle

Just got back from lunch at Prince on Delaware, a new restaurant at 124 Delaware St. in Old New Castle.
Very quaint, almost precious, eatery with gleaming wooden floors, salmon hued walls, Oriental rugs and modern, white chairs.
It's in the site of a former ice cream shop. Though the atmosphere seems pretty fancy, the lunch prices were reasonable. Dishes have a Southern twist and most everything is $10 and under. There's a separate "executive lunch" menu that supposedly has larger portions that are more entree oriented. I ordered Prince's World Famous Fried Chicken ($9) off the "regular" lunch menu. It was a large portion - thigh, breast, wing and leg - and came with a salad. (Just one thought: how can a new restaurant offer "world famous" fried chicken?) Quibble aside, it was excellent with crackly, crispy skin and moist meat. My dining buddy had a good shrimp and sausage quiche.
I want to go back for dinner. The half roasted chicken with mole sauce ($19) sounds intriguing. Prince also offers Sunday brunch.

Do they have a liquor license, or is it BYOB?
