"Press 102 a tasteful retreat from the summertime heat.” – Star News Online

Located in the heart of downtown Wilmington, North Carolina and only a few steps from the Cape Fear Rivier, Press 102 is nestled in the center of Hotel Tarrymore, Wilmington's only full service boutique hotel. The restaurant gets its name from the address (102 South Second Street) and our menu of pressed artisan delicacies – including French pressed coffee, pressed Panini, and fresh fruits and herbs pressed for classic cocktails and new concoctions. Press 102 celebrates breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as a Sunday brunch.

As a proud partner of the city of Wilmington and the region, Press 102 works closely with neighboring purveyors to support local growers and artisans.

Please pardon our closure for a short time during which we will be making some restaurant design changes and improvements. Follow us on Facebook for a weekly update on our progress. We hope to reopen as soon as possible! Thank you all for making the last 3 years a tremendous success and we look forward to serving you again soon with your favorite items, can you say "Chicken & Waffle Panini," as well as some new and exciting menu choices
