General Denver Hotel

If you're near Wilmington, Ohio and want a great spot for date night, stop for dinner at the General Denver restaurant. Set in the historic hotel, you can't beat the atmosphere. Delicious cocktails! We loved the espresso martinis and Kentucky mules. The steaks were good and reasonably priced. The bar side has beautiful old wood, but there is also an outdoor patio and dinner room. You can catch a show at the theater down the street, come back and stay the night. Cute town. Might as well make it a weekend!!

The service was great and appears this is the nicest restaurant in town. The fillet was cooked perfectly medium and sweet potatoes fries were awesome. The cheese curd appetizer was huge and so good-real Wisconsin cheese curds! Must try when in town.

We were a party of 12 on 11/4/23 and it was everyone's first time there! The service, food and atmosphere was fantastic. I can't remember the name of the sweet young lady who was our server but she was very very good!! We all will be coming back very soon! Mary Grooms

We actually ate in the restaurant. The food is always delicious. Service is spot on. The restaurant is impeccably clean. The best part is the bartenders. We always set at the bar, and the service is so good. Try the bison burger. It's off the charts!

Bravo! Literally the absolute best Caesar salad I have ever had! If you don’t want to be ruined for CS anywhere else you better stay away from this option! In less than a week I have had two meals with chicken, and both times the chicken has been cooked to perfection…juicy and flavorful! Kudos to the chef!!! I can’t wait to bring my daughter to be blown away by the freshest Caesar salad! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience! We will definitely be back! The service was spectacular as well!

We had a nice time. Food was really good & service was too. Great pricing for quality food. 1st time visit & will definitely go back again & again.

We ate here the other night, outstanding service, good food, great atmosphere. Highly recommend

One of the best places I have ever eaten at. Service was.the beat the manager talk to me personally and she was great we had a great conversation about the place I have been going there for years would recommend to everyone I know. Thank you so much

Review for the restaurant: They have goat cheese.
I was surprised at how clean and new everything seems because it is a rustic and historical place. It's been decorated and kept well. There's indoor, outdoor and halfway-between seating.
The staff is friendly and they know the place well.
We loved our food! I thought it would be fairly generic, but it is unique enough to where I'll remember the bourbon sauce, goat cheese on the burger, and all the little extra/nice/unique things.

I have not been to the hotel.

The food was great. It was for our anniversary and we will be going back again. Service was great and the chief's prepared the food spot on.

Ate at the restaurant. Fish and chips was excellent. Good service. A little bit pricey.

Ate dinner here before a show at The Murphy Theatre across the street and the food and service were phenomenal! We'll definitely be back. Excellent food and excellent bourbon selection and cocktail menu with good prices.

I have been going here through the last 3 owners. Just do it. Good food. Good price. Good rooms. Let's go!

I stayed here for a work site we had out of town. The accommodations were really nice and felt like home. My room was small but very cozy and comfortable. The employees were super nice and made the experience awesome. All the food I tried for dinner and breakfast was amazing. Best burgers I've had in a long time. The fried green tomatoes were definitely my favorite appetizer as well. They also had a really cool, old school, elevator which was just another detail that made my stay there great. It was definitely an amazing stay and I'd definitely stay there again given the chance to.

I have eaten here several times and let me tell you that tavern fries are beyond compare. I also love the bison burger with goat cheese. They're often very busy but the staff is always kind and helpful.

One of the most beautiful places to eat and drink I was really blown away! I would of never thought there would be a place so historic and cool outside of Cincinnati. I tried the spinach dip and the Cajun blue cheese burger and highly recommend. We went at 10pm after an event and the service and food was very good!

The restaurant is absolutely amazing! My fiance and I come to visit every couple of weeks and are always impressed by the food + service. The new outdoor eating area is gorgeous and a great place to enjoy a summer night. The Spinach Artichoke Dip is phenomenal and all of the cocktails are perfect. Thank you General Denver for always providing an incredible experience and atmosphere!

This restaurant in this hotel gave you classy and casual in one. The features were beautiful, the atmosphere was welcoming, the food was exquisite, and the staff was remarkable and gave me that southern hospitality feel. Their music took care of little of every genre. I will continue to visit them every time I come back. This was the best spot I went in Ohio, but I still have some more sampling to do.

Booked the day before my stay; they were so helpful with helping me book the right room for me! I’m an alumni from Wilmington College that was staying Friday 12/9 -12/10 for a recruiting event.The location is so convenient to get to the college/ in middle of downtown! From my arrival the staff was exceptional they walked me to my room showed me around and just made me feel welcome/ best experience I’ve had as a hotel guest in a long time!!! The historic hotel is a must see (especially with holiday decorations right now) / if you’re staying in Wilmington overnight highly recommend! Thank you again for the great stay!

Excellent experience, we highly recommend a visit. Food was delicious, beverage selection was outstanding, and the staff was great.
