New American Restaurants near Dewey Beach, DE

“A cool place. Basic bar fare. Crowded and noisy, but that's to be expected. I was here in November, I can't imagine the crowd in the summer.I'm always impressed when the servers do a great job under stressful conditions, and they did a great job. I ordered a simple burger and fries. Fries were decent. Burger was great! Cooked perfect and delicious.“

“I had the wonderful experience to work with the staff there yesterday, to set up a wedding. Let me say first, what a beautiful place and great set up! The Staff are wonderful from Brooke to every last member of the team ! Hardworking, polite, fun andcery good at what they do !! Great place for any occasion!“

“Don’t let the credit card requirement to make a reservation prevent you from reserving a table. Commit to Heirloom! Their location is in the mix of Lewes. The coastal-garden decor is only superseded by the food and service (from Zimri - he knew the menu extremely well and wasn’t afraid to make recommendations if asked).We started with Tiki Old Fashioned and Dirty Martini drinks. The Old Fashioned beverages packed a punch, and the martini was deliciously dirty with fabulous house-stuffed bleu cheese olives and flavorful pickled carrot. I cannot overstate how fantastic The Farm at Doe Run cheese board was - the best cheese I’ve ever had, it was an emotional experience.We had the Housemade Agnolotti - split vote on whether or not the beet, mushroom, or convo bites were best. New Jersey Scallops, seared on the outside and soft on the inside with great accompaniments. Leg of Lamb was wonderfully tender and flavorful minus the gaminess of some lamb dishes, and the asparagus was perfectly charred.I should not be limited to eating Heirloom with only five stars, keep on keep on until we return!“

“My daughter took me out for dinner to celebrate my 62nd birthday here at Harbor at Canal Square. We went all out, soup to nuts so to speak, and it was a wonderful dining experience all around. Our waiter who Identified himself as Tom or Tommy was easily one of the best, intuitive and attentive servers I have ever had, and that's saying a lot. The Calimari was as good as we'd ever had, crispy and not too chewey, with just the right seasoning. The mussels were served piping hot with a delicious sweet curry style sauce that made me clean the plate with a spoon and a fresh whole Branzino fish which Tom recommended and explained that it was a Meditarainian sea bass. ? My daughter had the duck breast, whuch was so good she insisted that I tate it, and for dessert we shared the Cherry Tart served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream from Hopkins, a local dairy farm. Tom explained that the desserts were all made in house by one of the owners. We both had tasty mocktails, and I finished up with a glass of tawny port. Although the place was busy, we never felt rushed and the whole vibe was reminiscent of a day's gone by fine dining experience, with a water view, and a more relaxed feeling. I'm not going to say that this was the best dinner I've ever had, but I'd be hard pressed to recall a much better one. When you're anywhere near the Delaware beaches, this place is a must try. ?Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp is available.“

“Excellent service, superb food and an overall amazing experience at the Lewes Oyster House! Executive Chef, Sean Corea, knocks it out of the park! Fantastic cocktails too! If you’re looking for a special evening, or just a night out in downtown Lewes, Lewes Oyster House is the place to go - they don’t disappoint!“

“Fritters, soup / salad, pasta, soft shell crab, steak, duck - every dish that came out was a hit with my friends. Sending love and gratitude to the owners and chef for making our evening special. With all the competition in Rehoboth, this is a gem, not to be missed!“

“We had a wonderful dinner here with 5 of our friends and were seated on the porch at a lovely round table which made conversing effortless. My husband had the Parsnip soup which was full bodied and full of flavor, while I chose the Caesar salad with anchovies which is big favorite of mine. Moving on we chose the Lobster Gnocchi and the Mahi entree which was expertly prepared, I can’t comment more on that since my gnocchi arrived and I lost all sense of time. My Lobster Gnocchi was beyond delicious, my mouth is watering just talking about it! Tender melt in your mouth gnocchi with chunks of lobster in a white lobster sauce, I ate it all! My husband brought some of his Mahi home because his soup was so filling. Our companions ordered the Steak Frites, the Crab cake entree, the pork shank, the gnocchi and something else. Again, once my entree arrived, I lost all interest in anyone else’s meals. If you haven’t tried Bramble and Brine at the Buttery, you need to. They are also open for Brunch and lunch! I would rate them a 10⭐️Dietary restrictions: My husband has Celiac and cannot consume gluten in any form. The year and a half that we have been dining there has always been safe for him. Chef will come out and talk to him about what can be gluten free and the servers are amazing professionals, they keep notes on their patrons regarding allergies, etc. That’s why we usually go once a week. They are very good about accommodating most food allergies.“

“We made the discovery of this wonderful restaurant last night. It is a beautiful restaurant with many good seating options including the bar! The food, the libations, the service all wonderful. However, the hospitality that Ben and Diane have created is priceless! They are working owners leading by example! A truly wonderful experience! We will put the Shorebreak Lodge on top of our list every time we are in Rehoboth!“

“Romantic beautiful atmosphere where the servers go out of their way to make your experience truly special. Our server Kevin was AWESOME!! The rockfish dish was very good as was the special wagyu flank steak. It would be nice if some bread was served to complement the meal. The dessert was superb, olive oil cake w blackberry sauce. A most enjoyable evening!“

“We love going there for the steak and wine night. It's fun going there and the value is fantastic. I would've given five stars for everything except the server was overstretched. Food took a while to come out and for some reason the food was really under seasoned, which is unusual- most restaurants over season so once I got them to bring me a salt shaker, it helped“

“This was our first time to Kindle & we will definitely be back! The Italian cocktail I ordered was delicious & came with a refill! While all of the food was delicious, the lobster spaghetti is an absolute must try & is what will bring us back next year when we visit DE again.“

“Love this place. Usually get the brisket sandwich, which is great, and it has the only restaurant potato salad I’ve ever enjoyed. The staff is super nice, and if you eat out back, you can look at the statue of Bigfoot across the street while dining.“

“It's always a pleasure to have lunch or dinner at Baywood. The service is efficient and friendly. The food rarely disappoints but the menu options don't change very often. The portions are large enough to split or take home half. We like to sit outside because the view is so pleasant. The side curtains come down if it rains and the ceiling fans are on in warm weather. Bar service is excellent.“

“Food options weren’t great. There weren’t very many vegetarian or gluten free options (we had members of our group in each category). The food that was served was tasty. If you are coming for local beer more than food this is a great location.Vegetarian options: Very few“

“Great place. Food was excellent and when we were there they had the fireplace on. Ok it's November. If you go during the summer, please make reservations because it will be crowded. Enjoy! Try the calamari yummy!Parking: They do have a parking lot but not very big. Street parking is available.“

“You're going to be greeted by friendly people serving fresh and flavorful, health conscious food. We stopped by for fresh-pressed juices, smoothies, scrambles and toast. The food was very good -- tofu, eggs, red potatoes; fresh fruits and ricotta on pumpkin toast. The menu I'm happy to say leans vegetarian and vegan! There are dine in, third party delivery and take away options; the bistro does a lot of take away. The ambiance is Boho-adjacent and as you'd expect hosts lots of greenery.“

“For the last seven years, my wife and I have come to Salt Air every time we’ve visited the area. We fell in love with the restaurant immediately, and as we were planning our wedding in the area, we knew that Salt Air was where we wanted to have our wedding dinner.Throughout the entire process, the staff was fantastic to work with. Specifically, Susan and Austin went above and beyond to ensure that our night was special. The most impressive part of the night was the other half of the restaurant was operating as usual with no one being impacted. I know that all of our guests loved their meals and will be back the next time they are in town.I can’t thank the staff enough for all their hard work in making our dinner a hit. 100/100 every time and we look forward to the next time we can grab a bite to eat.“

“Cozy British-style pub in a historic hotel. We've stopped by for drinks a couple of times, but haven't ordered food yet. I'll write an updated review when we do. They have Guinness and Harp on tap (and will pour a Half & Half) and several other beers, a couple of them local. Pleasant service.“
