A place where the Lowcountry comes to the table.

Rooted in Wilmington.

La Va Quita sits on Market Street with a simple idea: serve food that tastes like this place. The Lowcountry has shaped our palate — the salt air, the slow seasons, the people who know how to make a meal matter.

We work with local farms and fishermen whenever possible, and we let the calendar decide what goes on the plate. Some days it's stone crab. Some days it's ramp pesto. The kitchen keeps it honest, and the dining room keeps it warm.

This isn't a restaurant that tries to be anything other than what it is — a good meal, done well, in a room where you can actually hear yourself think.
