    Came for a late lunch and ordered take out. The capers salad with grilled chicken was really good. Everyone enjoyed their food. Two people got the flounder pounder sandwich which was great. The chips were tasty too. The bar tender was quick. The atmosphere is what makes it awesome! There are many bars and areas for sitting. Palm trees, tiki vibe and lights make you feel like you are in paradise. Would love to come back for dinner and drinks and sit by the water.

    Calamari, beef nachos & a bucket drink.

    Very cool spot. Right on the water, tucked back into what seems like a retirement community or vacation homes. Lots of seating available that is spread out. Simple menu. We had a group of 14 people. Nobody had anything bad to say about their meal. Myself and 3 others got the signature flounder pounder. It was impressive. Huge piece of fried fish , seasoned really well, very crunchy breading. Not overly breaded. The fish was cooked perfectly and very flaky. I would definitely order it again. It was so good we didn't even take a picture before digging in. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because they weren't even that busy but the waits were long. We got the appetizers and some of the meals before we even got our drinks. We are a big group though and it was a Wednesday.

    Tried 8 places in #Delaware. This place, Paradise Grill is the BEST place to eat chicken wings in the state of Delaware. Don't care who Yelp or Buzz Feed say it is, it's this place. Meaty, crispy, flavorful and a delight to look at. Eating these wings on the patio with an amazing view was so satisfying. Big thank you to Johnny for coming out and saying hi when the restaurant was crazy busy. Thank you Melissa for taking care of our order. Met up with my sister Tyson and Rick for these wings. #MangoHabanero #GarlicParmesan * * * #AntonioIsFly #Wings #AntonioLovesWingsCertified #ChickenWings #Fit #Fitness #FollowMe #LasVegas #Home #Foodie #WingFest #Travel #FoodPorn #NationalChickenWingDay #Lunch #WingWednesday #BuffaloWings #NFL #CheatMeal

    2 hour wait on a Saturday evening at 7:30pm - even in August - is ridiculous. Has too much of a trailer park vibe.

    We went to Seaside Fish House on New Year's Eve for a casual dinner, and we had a great experience…read more We were seated right away, and the staff gave us a heads-up early on that the food might take slightly longer because they were so busy. I always appreciate when a business gives me insight like this. We promptly received our drinks and were informed of the specials, which all sounded delicious. We put in our order, and we barely noticed a delay in our food coming out. (But nonetheless we appreciated the heads-up!) I had the short ribs, and they were incredible. They were falling off of my fork because they were so tender! The mashed potatoes served with them were also great. The rest of our party ordered seafood, and everyone in the group raved about how good their dishes were. My only regret was that none of us saved room for dessert! Something that also truly stuck out to me: one of the managers noticed my grandma was cold and adjusted the temperature in the room in which we were seated. I know this isn't standard practice at restaurants, but I can't say enough how much it meant to us that the staff paid so much attention to us. Seaside Fish House is DEFINITELY on my permanent list of favorite places in Delaware now.

Whether you are in the mood to watch a football game (Go Birds!), enjoy a relaxing dinner with friends, or sit at the bar and enjoy a drink, this is the spot. The only downside is waiting through the summer and fall for the Seaside Fish House to open again (all their staff work at the outdoor Paradise locations that are open in summer). Give this place a try if you're here in the fall and winter -- you won't regret it!

    As you can see from my more than ten past reviews over 4 years and my last review in August 2025…read morethis is now one of my top three happy hour restaurants during the off season. I will summarize my four most recent happy hour off season visits. We were first here at the bar with my six family and friends. Well finally the off season happy hour half price dinner entrees have finally returned here starting around mid October with pretty much the same entrees and menu as last year. They subsequently updated the half price entrees in early November. All items have pretty much returned here except for some new entrees. The good news is that at least two new half price happy hour dinner entrees were added including the surf and turf with espresso encrusted 4 ounce demi filet mignon with two skewered shrimps, yukon mash, tomato garnash with blue cheese in the middle of the tomato for $40 or half price for only $20. I never had espresso encrusted filet mignon, therefore I ordered and enjoyed mine medium rare. I could barely taste the encrusted espresso. I ended my dinner with my favorite Fiddlehead's draft honey porter for $6. My total bill was $111 with half price discount of $36.50 so my final bill was $77. On my second return I enjoyed my ahi tuna rice bowl with broccoli, ginger fried house rice, sprouts and ginger vinaigrette for $36 or half price for $18. My total bill was $72 excluding gratuity. On my third return I again enjoyed the espresso encrusted 4 ounce demi filet mignon, which I had ordered medium rare, but was over cooked to medium. I did not complain about returning my filet for a replacement, however I did show it to bartender Dennis. Next time I will order my filet rare. On my fourth return I enjoyed my usual cosmos and my ahi tuna rice bowl which was always properly cooked ahi style. Bartender Dennis always remembers I prefer a little extra spice, without me even asking for my Sriracha. Dennis recommended both of the above entrees. See my most recent pic of the new menu. Chef Cowan waved to me at the bar. Bartender Dennis served us very well supported by our usual excellent recommendations and conversations. Chandra and Cameron also said hello. The staff here are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. On Black Friday I purchased another $1k in gift cards for the off season from Off The Hook and Hooked in OC. Needless to say we will continue to return here for happy hour to spend our $1k.

    First visit to this restaurant. My lady friend and I had reservations for two and the restaurant…read morewas quite busy. We both agreed it was the best Italian food we have had since moving to the Delaware Beaches area. Service was prompt and friendly, food served hot and well prepared and it was just a very enjoyable experience. The owner came to our table and we shared our joy with him of finding a true gem, his authentic Italian restaurant.

    This is truly a hidden gem in DE!…read more I was visiting family over Mother's Day weekend, and we had reservations for 5pm (note: reservations are STRONGLY encouraged for prompt seating). As a Baltimore native, I'm used to the charm of the Little Italy restaurants; pulling up to La Dolce Vita had me scratching my head. It is truly not much to look at from the outside or inside, but-- as my grandmother always taught me-- never judge a book by its cover. I'm glad I didn't. The 2 polite servers were already busy when we got there, but we were seated quickly and provided with our drinks and table bread promptly. The menu is small yet cozy and familiar. The specials were relatively extensive, also (maybe for the holiday?). My family ordered 2 appetizer specials (escargot & clams casino)-- both were alright, but I'm also not a huge fan of either. Plate presentation was nothing fancy, but still looked very nice. With any entree, you receive a side salad-- a small display of fresh spring greens with tomatoes and cucumber. Don't be off-put by the packaged salad dressing. Our table ordered: lamb Ossobucco (special), veal & shrimp Marsala, and chicken parmigiana. Due to the increasing patrons, our main dishes took a little longer to come out, but it was nice to catch up with family. Again, the presentation of the main dishes were nothing gourmet, but hearty and clean. The Marsala has a sweet flavor, which is not usually how I make it, but it was still rich and tasty. I had the chicken parmigiana, and was surprised to see that the side angel hair pasta came with meat sauce-- I later realized that it's listed on the menu (oops!). Their pasta sauce is absolutely delicious, and I wish I ordered more for bread-dipping! Save room and pack up half of your meal, because you *WILL* want their delicious, homemade desserts. Our table shared tiramisu and a cannoli-- let me tell you, they put Baltimore's Vaccaro's to shame. The cannoli was probably the best I've ever had, and the tiramisu was so light and fluffy without an overwhelming coffee flavor. For 3 people (no alcoholic drinks), the total was about $150. This is incredible for the delicious food and large portions! Please please please go here for the best Italian food on the shore!

We missed the afternoon rush…read moreand the rain must have also been keeping people inside because every other time we have driven by Upscale there was usually a line. My brother knew he wanted to try the lobster roll, but my dad asked what they recommended. The guy, who we found out later to be the owner, went through each menu item, telling us how they get the ingredients and how everything is prepared. All the seafood is brought in fresh and it is Upscale that freezes it themselves, only to thaw the day of preparation. Some of their sauces, like the tartar sauce and remoulade sauce, are homemade. The owner seemed very passionate about his business and seemed to value quality of ingredients immensely. In addition to the lobster roll we also ordered the crab cake sandwich, fried shrimp, and french fries. The order was a little pricey, but for quality seafood that is expected. We did have to wait about fifteen minutes for the food to be ready, as they were making the food right then. While I only tried a piece of the lobster roll this day, my dad and brother were instantly impressed. The lobster roll was perfectly buttered and grilled, with fresh lobster and bread. My dad said it may have been the best crab cake sandwich he has ever had. The crab cake was all jumbo lump crab and perfectly crispy on the outside. They also loved the fried shrimp and french fries. My brother always says you know it's a good french fry if it does not need ketchup and he did not need ketchup for these fries. Overall, Upscale seems to be an awesome addition to the Bethany Beach scene and is a must try for all seafood lovers. Even the non-seafood lovers may want to try it out too!
