You should clarify that the mushroom risotto contains HUGE chunks of cauliflower. This is basically a veggie/fungi dish, with lots of cheese and a bit of rice. Called to ask and we were told "risotto is the way you make it". Lol no. Risotto is rice. All I ask is that cauliflower is added to the description so people know what they're getting themselves into. Otherwise food and service is always good. Thankful you were open during the blizzard. read more

Yeah....more like Fish OFF! Maybe it was an off night considering all the raves. We had a coupon from our B&B for a free appetizer and ordered their version of Oysters Rockefeller. Good thing they were free or I would have sent them back. $11.00 - and they were awful....sad looking squiggled up oysters buried beneath an indescribable mound of yuck. My $24.00 fish stew had plenty of seafood- farmed tiny baby lobster tail (overcooked), salmon, clams and shrimp. Some pieces of salmon were delicious, while other pieces were very fishy. The clams had a bit of sand, while the good looking shrimp had the WEIRDEST after taste. Not rancid- just strange. The taste lingered in my mouth. My husband had the famous crab cakes. Hmmm...What is the big deal? True they contained mucho crab...but were so lacking in flavor and needed spice- and Dijon, fresh chives or scallion. We skipped dessert because the meal turned us off. What is up with 3 tables without table clothes while the other tables all have table cloths? Strange. Were we seated sans table cloth because we were newbie's- and most folks here are local "Villagers"? The place is in the midst of an artificial city for retirees. For the money, go into lovely downtown LEWES, and ask the locals where to go. read more

Fish on is a great place any age and for any occasion. To start off, the atmosphere is spectacular. The modern style and open concept makes everything easy and quickly accessible. The entire restaurant is filled with art made by the locals. The service here was also very nice. The waiters and hostess were very glad to see me and my family. Our waiter knew the menu like the back of his hand. He came to check on how we were doing and refill our drinks frequently. The food was so scrumptious. The shrimp was so very fresh and plump. The shrimp and grits expertly combined good ol' home cooking and elegancy. My cousin got the fried chicken blt. He said it was cooked to perfection and all of the flavors balanced out. All the fish is so fresh and tasty. The bill was a bit expensive, but that is price you have to pay for food like this. Because of all the delicious food I quickly ate, at sadly couldn't order dessert. All in all Fish On is a great restaurant for locals to try something new, and for tourists to experience the wonderful food in Lewis Delaware. read more

Overpriced for the amount of food you get and the overall quality of the food. I ordered the crabcakes with mashed potatoes (2 tiny lumps of cakes & 1 small scoop of mashed) for $27.00!!! If the food was excellent, I wouldn't mind the price, but it wasn't anywhere near excellent. Crab cakes were dry & needed more flavor. The mashed potatoes were okay, nothing special. There are many other restaurants that have done their food way better and for less money. I'm not going back. read more

ate here for father's day with my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter. when we first sat down, the waitress was serving a "baby kale" salad to another table. it looked so good that I tried it. it was awesome. I love kale, but have always had it cooked. never before raw. very interesting combination of kale, apple slices, sliced almonds, either blue cheese or gorgonzola (i couldn't tell which it was and do not remember the menu) and bacon bits. perfect dressing for the mixture, too. i had the "day boat scallops" for my entree. the four scallops were done to perfection and served on a creatively tasty bed of corn braised with bacon and onions. my only complaint was the price. yes, i know that scallops are expensive, but only FOUR for $27 is a bit much! my daughter had fried chicken on a waffle. she loved it. she washed it down with the restaurant's own creation, "black and white" soda. i didn't like it, but it is creative. my son-in-law had their fish and chips and was similarly pleased. the waitress was appropriately attentive and service was excellent. she also took care to answer my gluten content questions. four stars and not five because $94 is quite high for what we had even with one alcoholic drink and a "Shirley Temple " for my granddaughter. incidentally, my Yelp photo is of sunset over Lewes beach. read more

Wonderful place to eat. Great food and Sunday night special for $19. Good wines. Friendly bartenders.

Fish On used to be one of our very favorite places in Lewes for dinner. Great food and great service. But I'm afraid it has fallen victim to the rest of Matt Haley's restaurants -- there are too many and Matt can't keep up the quality. Took friends there for dinner two weeks ago. The service is still good. However, the food is suffering. Everyone left dissatisfied. They used to have killer Shrimp and Grits. Sadly no more. Mine just looked sad. Flavorless grits. Shrimp that had hardly any flavor and was covered in a gelatinous sauce. How on earth can chorizo be tasteless?! The chorizo on this plate was. We won't be going back -- and I'm really sorry to say that. read more

Our absolute favorite place in Lewes! Amazing value, the portions are always satisfying. Jess, the Bartender makes amazing drinks, her dirty martinis are OUTSTANDING. Chef Raul has the most interesting dishes and their weekly specials and Happy Hour never disappoint. Raeline and Marcellus are phenomenal servers too. We always feel welcome at Fish On and can't wait to go back! read more

Seafood was perfectly prepared. I had the scallops; they melted in my mouth. Great use of local in-season veggies and excellent bread. I'm totally hooked on the white bean mash dip with home made melba toast. Wow! Dog friendly with plenty of outdoor seating. Strange suburban location which quite frankly kept us from trying this place earlier this summer. Damned stupid reason to pass up such a wonderful meal. It's worth the drive into condo-hell. Our waitress was very friendly and our dog appreciated all the doggie treats and ice water!. read more

First of all they deserve a 3.5 but couldn't give them four. Went tonight for happy hour with my husband. Restaurant had about six tables seated. We ordered a few happy hour items. I said twice the total was five items. We realized she missed the fish tacos but she also missed the chicken wings and only knew that 15 minutes later. The sad thing was when we got them they weren't cooked through and weren't good. I mentioned it and the bartender seemed indifferent. The rest of the meal was good though. I enjoy food here usually and most of it works. Tonight most was good. read more

Four of us went to dinner tonite. the food and service as amazing (thanks Marsella sp?) my only complaint was that I saw more than one employee put their dirty fingers inside the water bottles to clear the table. i'm sure they aren't washed between tables, just came of as really unsanitary to me. other than that, great night! read more

Fantastic speciality drinks with homemade soda, sriracha glazed honey wings, and chicken and waffles. Holy crap. My first impression of this place was fantastic. The chicken and waffles totally blew me away. Being a fried chicken connoisseur I'm always picky. This was pan fried deliciousness. Straight from the south. The onion and maple gravy oozing over top the savory herb waffles was an experience I'll never forget. The wings were massive jumbo wings with decent heat and spiciness. Can't wait to go back. I just don't think I'll order anything else! Spend the extra money and get a couple of drinks and the chicken and waffles and I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Fish On - Chicken and waffles - Seafood Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

Our first time here, had a spectacular experience. Marie was our very attentive and enthusiastic server. The food was incredible! Mom had the crab cake special and she ate more than I've ever seen her eat. Good sign! Hopkins pumpkin ice cream was insane. Will be back! read more

After eating soft shell crabs at numerous seafood restaurants in Rehoboth and Lewes, the soft shell crabs at Fish On! cannot be compared to! Absolutely excellent!! No bready mess, but sauteed perfectly. My sister had the day boat scallops which were fantastic. The chef Maurice knows what he's doing when it comes to preparing unique dishes!! Will definitely be going back for more! read more

Outstanding staff and delicious food. Stopped by for a quick bite soon before closing with my dog and they had a very nice dog friendly patio. The food came very quickly as well. Will definitely come back! read more

Great spot for delicious seafood. The lobster and heirloom tomato salad was outstanding. We had Kirby as a waitress, and she was AMAZING. Kirby, if you see these reviews: thank you! read more

2nd time going here 2 times in a week for the past 2 years. Great meals and service, super tasty and friendly for families too.

When we walked in we were seated right away this wonderful service continued throughout the meal. This restaurant exhibits a modern atmosphere with open concept and decorative wall art. The ocean theme is consistent and not overwhelming. We ordered appetizers and they were out of the kitchen quickly. All of the food was hot and delicious, Also the portions were adequately sized. They have a wonderful outdoor patio with nice lighting and umbrellas. And while the bathrooms felt slightly dated it was not a deal breaker. It was slightly expensive but justified with the quality of food. Overall the restaurant was clean, professional, delicious, and a great meal read more

Short rib burger is amazing! The atmosphere is very inviting. I've been to the restaurant for private events and the food is always good in that regard too. read more

Sunday$19 3 course special.. Couldn't find scallops in pasta scallop entree, sent back for alternative turkey n dressing..looked like glob of square mush. Ooooh bad day for chef read more

Good local restaurant- have dined there three times and the experience is consistently good. Tonight we had Kirby as our server and she was excellent - enthusiastic and knowledgeable - one of the best. The raw oysters are a personal favorite. read more

Nice atmosphere - great appetizers and desserts. Entrees are a little pricey for the quality of the food. They try hard, but go overboard on spices, etc. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner at Fish On. We made reservations for 6 online, but arrived early and were seated right away. The atmosphere was pleasant and the food was good. The service and drinks were great! We ordered mussels, calamari, salads, crab cakes, cocktails and dessert. The prices were on the high side, but we were expecting that going in. Overall we had a nice evening and plan to return. read more

Have been going to Matts restaurant since they opened. The food has always been top notch, but sometimes it seems the chef gets in a rut and doesn't brighten the menu. I can definitely say that consistency has never been a word I would use for the service. Sometime it seems that there is an attitude. Still all in all a very good place to consider. read more

We had a delicious dinner, nicely prepared, generous portions. Service was friendly and attentive. Decor is modern, sparse. Have been to Happy hour, good prices, fun place. We live in the neighborhood and will keep coming back. read more

An evening which started with so much promise turned sour, disappointing me greatly. Fish On is in a great space, has high ceilings so it is not too noisy despite the crowd, and has the solid SoDel reputation behind it. We gave our drink order to our server and I ordered the Napa Sauvignon Blanc wine. I got the New Zealand one, but immediately told the server and asked for the one I ordered (there are only these two available). A different server brought me the new glass and just said,"here you go" and walked away. We had the rockfish and glazed salmon and were disappointed by how dry and bland they were, but soldiered on. I think they were understaffed in the restaurant since we saw little of our server and nobody topped up our water glasses. The bill arrived with both glasses of wine on it and when we questioned it the server said that I had ordered wrong but they would take off the one glass - like it was my fault but they'd do me a favor. I tried to talk to a manager but she was in the kitchen, I assume helping the waitstaff. I won't return to Fish On but will stick with Blue Coast in Rehoboth where the staff are wonderful. read more

I ordered the chicken fingers and I was blown away by flavor and texture. I loved it. I give this 4 stars instead of 5 because I felt that it was really good but I have tasted better. If I could give a phrase instead of a number I would say stunning. I recommend going to this restaurant for any other delicious dishes. read more

Can only comment on happy hour, but it was just ok. Calamari was good, wings were better at Matt's (a little over cooked this time and needed more sauce), Brussels sprouts were not my fav... they seemed a little heavy being fried and then with the truffle oil. Needed something else to brighten it up. I prefer the fried Brussels at Po Boy's in Milton. I wish SoDel restaurants would get a little creative and have some variety at their restaurants. Feels like the same food no matter which one you go to. When you're paying like $30 something for crab cakes, I'd expect them to come with another side dish option besides French fries! read more

Fish On is tucked away behind a grocery store just off the 5 points intersection in Lewes. The decor is really sleek and the atmosphere is great, they even have a fireplace! The food is fantastic, the best in Lewes. We got fresh rockfish with some sauteed vegetables and the captain's platter. Both awesome. The captains platter included the best crab cake I've ever had (and I'm from Maryland!). The server, Brittany, was very knowledgeable, friendly and efficient and they had a great beer/wine/cocktail selection. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

Attended a private party. Awful. Iced tea and coffee were supposed to be included and I had to pay for mine at the bar. I don't drink alcohol. I was upset. Some of the platters didn't have serving utensils so we had to use a fork to spoon out the soupy veggie dip. The desserts were sub par. We found shells in the crab cakes. The veggies were overwhelmingly cut too large. I may be new to Delaware, but I will not recommend this Restaurant unless you're looking for overpriced small portions of okay food. read more

what a great restaurant, we were in Lewes, for a week and went to Fish On 3 times...the food, service and atmosphere were all perfect. We just fell in love with Brittany, great server/bartender and super personality.the food was off the charts, so orginal, fresh and clean tasting...the baked buratta and fried baby lobster tails and jalapeno creamed corn...SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Fish ON!!! read more

Wonderful atmosphere! Wonderful food! Wonderful waitress! After a long day at the beach we were looking for a restaurant and by chance found Fish On! We had the cajun pasta, shrimp and chocolate cheesecake pie. They were delicious! We will definitely be stopping by again. Would highly recommend, just a beautiful restaurant with amazing food. read more

We've passed Fish On many times and I'm so glad that we finally decided to give it a try. It's located in the Five Points Village in Lewes. They have a lovely outside eating area. We had the fish tacos... Some of the best I've ever had. Also tried the salmon in a pea broth. The salmon had a great crust and was moist and yummy inside. Haven't been to happy hour yet, but will give that try too. Will definitely be back. read more

Kevin was the best waiter ever! Every attentive to our needs and the food was fabulous :)

Fish On! is a SoDel Concepts restaurant. Located in the Village at 5 Points, you'll be very happy with just about everything offered. You will certainly get your "Fish On" here... tasty creations using local ingredients, unique creations using imagination. Try the seafood stew, the shrimp with jack grits, the sauteed scallops, the crab dip, the white bean dip. The desserts are great... but the menu is missing one item: a cold pack of Bella's Cookies on their menu. read more

Had a great waitress and finally a hostess with personality. Food was ok but the people made it better. Still has exhaust issue as do all the restaurants by the same owner. Smokey!!! Over all would go back again. Place called "fish on" only had 2 kinds of fish. Go figure. read more

Not having been to many places in Rehoboth, this is def one of the better ones. Its a nice beautiful restaurant, spacious and clean. The food is amazing though, i had the seafood stew which i was hesitant to get, but soo good. Reminded me a bit of cioppino. There was lots of fish and seafood in my stew that had kind of a tomato base. My boyfriend had the halibut which was equally good. There was a delicious steak my friend had, along with the mashed potatoes. Now, im not always a huge sides fan, but the mashed potatoes were really good; melt in your mouth good. Will def be back there if I'm back in the area. Only downside which I didn't take stars from is that its pricey. Entrees were in the 20s. read more

Overall we had a decent experience, but you can decent at almost any place. I agree with the previous review that the food was good, but not great. We may have been the unfortunate reicpients of having arrived shortly after a large party. The shrimp on grits was a nice combination of shrimp, chorizo and grits. Tasty and satisfying, but not on my bucket list. The kids pasta was super small at 13 penne noodles. My 11 year old could have had 2 more portions. I think they should change the kids menu to read for kids 12 and under to kids 6 and under. The other entree at the table was salmon, which was way overcooked and is something the kitchen shouldnt have sent out, and the servers shouldnt have presented. I dont believe this is what the owners would say is their intention. Clearly the kitchen was backed up having to deal witha large party, and they just wanted to get this order out no matter what. There was a long delay between ordering and receiving our food, and an offering of another basket of bread would have helped. When we brought up the cooked to a crisp salmon to the server, she was indifferent and didnt say a word. Clearly she knew something was wrong, but hadnt been trained in how to respond approrpriately. We will give it another go in the off season, and for lunch, before we completely knock it off our list. read more

Food was good. Atmosphere less than good Service was good. Pricing somewhat over the top for a buffet like surroundings( not a buffet type restaurant) just has than feel. Bland Decor. read more

Fantastic food and great bartenders. Jess is the best. Flash fried lobster tails are a favorite.
