Been wanting to try this place for a while. When we came to town again, we decided it was time to…read morecheck it out. Let's start with some positives. The location is wonderful, located right in the town of Bethany. We sat outside on a nicely done patio that was relaxing and perfect for the weather. The waitress was very accommodating and well trained. She asked about allergies and made sure we had what we needed. When we did not like a dish, they did comp us, which was unexpected. The negatives unfortunately outweigh the positives as we do not intend to eat there in the future. First, it was very overpriced for a tapas place. Each tapa was about 22-25 dollars. These were not a reasonable price for tapas. We ended up leaving hungry. The food was presented very nicely, however, the food lacked in flavor and execution. The tapas all had good concepts but none were great and some were simply bad. The cauliflower was coated in something that made it taste burnt. The gnocchi were not even gnocchi and the dish lacked balance as it was super sweet. The scallops were well cooked but the mushrooms and corn had no flavor. The bison sliders were decent but the buns were hard and burnt and the slider had no sauce. The tuna crudo was probably the best one but it was very oily. Again, good concepts, just poor execution. Cocktails were upwards of 16 dollars and a glass of wine was about the same. I could walk down the street and get a drink for much less. We got other people's food twice as they have people carrying out food that aren't our server. I wish I could rate this place higher but it is not worth the money they are charging.

Arriving shortly after 5 PM, we were seated at a low-top table across from the flatbread oven. I enjoyed two Italian In Manhattans made with Maker's Mark bourbon, Amaro, black walnut bitters, and a Luxardo cherry for $14, along with the Asian glazed seared salmon served with sesame-soy glaze and vegetable fried rice for $18. After our friend mentioned their Saturday prime rib special, we returned on a Saturday evening. As a big fan of prime rib, I thoroughly enjoyed mine--cooked medium-rare, very tender, properly prepared, and served with creamed spinach, a baked potato, and a pop tart for $29. I had two more Italian In Manhattans at $14 each, bringing my bill to $75 before tip. During another visit for lunch, I ordered an Italian Manhattan for $14 and the daily chef's special: pulled chicken tostadas for $15. The two corn tortillas came packed with cabbage, pulled chicken, pico de gallo, sliced jalapeños, roasted corn, copper cheese sauce, and pickled onions. Instead of the standard side of mixed greens, I requested a Caesar salad with dressing on the side. I capped off lunch with a draft Guinness. Our server, Juicia, took great care of us, and the bill came to $54 excluding gratuity. We made our fourth visit with our friend on the Friday of Labor Day weekend. The dining room was packed, so we sat outside at a large table in the screen room overlooking the Bear Trap golf course. Once again, I ordered two Italian In Manhattans ($14 each) and the Asian glazed salmon ($18). Our server, Olivia, provided excellent service. The total bill for the three of us came to $93. We all agreed that we will certainly return here for drinks, lunch, or dinner.

Here is a breakdown of my two most recent experiences. During a solo outing with a friend, we arrived just before 4 PM to grab two coveted bar stools right as happy hour began, which now starts at 4 PM instead of 3 PM. I went with my usual two happy hour pepper creek punches and paired them with the happy hour fried chicken sandwich, adding a side of very good hand-cut fries for an extra $2. The portion was large enough that I brought half of the sandwich home for lunch. Bartender Trevor offered a sample of their malty nitro center of gravity english mild draft beer (4.5% ABV), and I loved the notes of toffee, chocolate, and toasted bread so much that I ended my dinner with two full glasses. Thanks to excellent service from bartenders Bill and Trevor, my solo total came out to a reasonable $36 before tip. On my next visit, I brought my family of four on a Wednesday around 6 PM. We were instantly accommodated at booth table 53 on the right side of the restaurant. They had recently updated their regular menu, and I decided to try the Korean beef bowl for $24, which features soy marinated sliced steak, vegetables, greens, an umami glaze, a fried egg, and spicy mayo served over basmati rice. Our server, Cate J., took wonderful care of us, and the total bill for the family was $152 excluding gratuity. Whether for happy hour or dinner, we will absolutely keep coming back.

With a bright bold colors and stunning architecture, the restaurant stands out on the corner. A huge mural of Delaware beckons the local purity. Inside you are greeted by huge brewing equipment in a two story grand dining room, filled with happy families and bustling servers! We always order takeout and they graciously save close parking spots for carryout orders. The online ordering allows for easy modifications and simple ordering. We grabbed a smorgasbord of flavors and made the entire family happy. The Fried Chicken meal comes with famous Delaware chicken and some fun twists of Gochuchang sauce and honey butter rolls. The fried food traveled well and is expertly packaged. On their website, they advertise Beer Battered Shrimp - and by simply calling in, the manager was able to add an order to our meal! Simple entrees. Bold flavors. Definitely a place worth frequenting on your Bethany Beach vacations.

Building on my previous review from July 2026, here is a summary of our two most recent visits with…read morefriends, who were recently visiting us from Bergen County, New Jersey: First Visit: Dinner for Three I booked a 5:00 PM dinner reservation for three on OpenTable for an outdoor fire porch table and was seated right away by the host. Since it was August, the fire table wasn't lit due to the heat. I ordered the boardwalk bourbon peach smash ($15), which I really enjoyed. For my main course, I selected the daily special: a 16-ounce medium-rare ribeye served with a vegetable medley ($60). The ribeye was exceptionally tender, cooked perfectly, and delicious, though the price point was a bit unexpected. The vegetable medley was also unique and flavorful. Our server, Tyler M., provided excellent service, bringing our total bill to $163. Second Visit: Group Brunch/Lunch We returned for brunch/lunch with three visiting friends from Bergen County, New Jersey, and Washington DC. We were seated inside at a table for five. Although Bloody Marys were unavailable, I enjoyed another boardwalk peach smash ($15) alongside a pulled pork sandwich with french fries ($18). The pulled pork was tender and full of flavor. However, the french fries were under-salted, and without a salt shaker at the table (and having not requested one), they were a bit disappointing. Our server, Brandon G., took great care of us. The bill came to $158 before tip. We look forward to returning again for lunch or dinner.

I know the restaurant industry is difficult, and I am usually not one to write bad reviews, but…read morethis one is justified. Don't be lured by the great ocean views. This is still a hotel restaurant, and a mediocre one at best. The good . . . great views of the Atlantic and decent drinks. The bad . . . just about everything else. I'll preface this by saying that I was not going to write a review despite the underwhelming experience, but after the final straw, I simply can't resist. We started with a round of cocktails that were attractive and well mixed. The night was off to a good start. Unfortunately, it was downhill from there. Appetizers were fried cauliflower and calamari. Entrees were crabcakes, a Caesar salad topped with a crabcake, seafood bucatini, and seafood stew. Service was indifferent at best. Server did not offer any specials until asked and did not know how to handle problems (see below). The appetizers came out and were fine. The cauliflower was fried, but not as crispy as a really good fried cauliflower. The chipotle aioli had a nice flavor. Calamari was well fried, but the sauce was overly salty. Then came the entrees. The seafood bucatini was the highlight in that it was perfectly acceptable. For $52, I expect a meaty crabcake with lots of jumbo lump. This crabcake was loaded with filler. As for the caesar salad, the menu says it comes with "Shaved parmesan, anchovies, croutons, house made caesar dressing." But the salad came out with no croutons. When we asked the server, he said they ran out of croutons and he needed to bring the manager over to offer a solution (which turned out to be sunflower seeds, smashed cashews, and leftover bread from the kitchen - when we said we'll take them, the server said we may be charged for keeping all three). Lettuce was also the top of the romaine, which was mushy and needed the non-existent croutons to save it. Then there's the seafood stew. The bowl came out with no spoon and no bread (and no plate for shells, but I guess that's not a necessity). They brought a spoon when asked, but said it doesn't come with bread, and we would need to order bread if we wanted it. Seemed odd, but okay. The broth was ridiculously salty and borderline inedible. We paid and left feeling like it was fine, but we probably won't return on future visits to Bethany. Then we checked the menu to see what it said about the seafood stew. Sure enough, it is supposed to come with "grilled bread." Perhaps they ran out of it with the croutons, but to say we would need to order it separately reflects a lack of knowledge of the menu, complete indifference, blatant lying, or all of the above. Beyond that, the pop music was far too loud for a restaurant that wants to be a decent restaurant. The view was nice, but I feel like I just threw my money into the ocean.
