We had such a wonderful experience here, despite one unfortunate miss with one of our entrées…read more We arrived about an hour early for our reservation and were able to find seats at the bar while we waited. From the moment we walked in, the host and owner were incredibly welcoming and kind. We started with a Hefeweizen and a Cosmo. While the Cosmo wasn't anything particularly unusual, it was honestly perfection -- exactly how a good Cosmo should taste. Once we were seated, we were taken care of by two servers who were both so friendly, attentive, and conversational. We shared the buttermilk fried oysters to start, which were delicious -- and actually my first time trying a fried oyster! For dinner, we ordered the lobster spaghettini and the New Bedford scallops. Unfortunately, something about the lobster spaghettini was really off. I have NEVER sent a dish back at a restaurant, but neither of us could eat it. I couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was, but the flavor seemed to be coming from the breadcrumbs throughout the dish, which tasted extremely stale (not just toasted) or maybe just too much miso? That being said, the way it was handled could not have been better. The owner was incredibly gracious and accommodating and immediately offered to exchange my dish. I ordered the scallops instead, and they were absolutely delicious. Beautifully seared, and the accompaniments worked so well together. One bad dish could have easily soured the experience, but it genuinely didn't. Between the oysters, scallops, drinks, and especially the hospitality, there was far more to compliment than criticize. The staff made us feel so welcome, and I really appreciated how kindly the situation was handled. We would absolutely return and recommend this restaurant. Sometimes how a restaurant responds when something isn't perfect says just as much as what happens when everything is -- and they handled it wonderfully.

It was a 10 person table they did a makeshift on. My fault, I should've left then. Service was fine. Food was awful. 1) Worst bruschetta I ever had. Sour tomato vinegar disaster. 2) Meatballs were cold. 3) Salad was an embarrassment. Just lettuce. 4) Pepperoni pizza was brutally overcooked. Sent back. They couldn't guarantee that the next one wouldn't come out the same. 5) I actually wanted the Chicken Marsala but it was one of the many things they were out of at 5:30pm. I ended up sharing my wife's margherita pizza, which was no big shakes. 120 dollars later (even after they took off my pizza) we left hungry. Seriously...nothing was good. Plus...I'm not sure what was going on inside but it was brutally hot. All in all, I won't be back for a while. A long while.

At first we thought it would be too much food - but the menu sounded too good so our arms were twisted haha. I got the lobster toast - this was my fave thing I ate at the Blue Hen. My bf got the carpaccio (also delish). For our main course I got the branzino. It was topped w fennel and carrot and it tasted so good w the fish. My bf got the fried chicken and he enjoyed it. We both loved our desserts. I got the strawberry - yum!! And he got the blueberry bread pudding. I had several tastes of his and I wasn't sure which dessert I liked more. Def need to come back!! I can't remember which drinks we had but I do remember that we liked them. I had only been to the Blue Hen for happy hour previously but now I know I need to be back soon!

We had the 1/2 portion Bolognese and Lobster pasta dishes. Fantastic. The broccolini was very good too. The full version of the pasta dishes were big so you may want to consider avoiding appetizers if you order them. The atmosphere in this restaurant is very pristine , warm and inviting. The service was perfect and highly professional. The main dining room can get noisy with a full crowd. They do offer reservations through Open Table with no deposit required. There was no off street parking so it may be a challenge to park nearby during the Summer months. We will definitely be back here for dinner when in Rehoboth Beach.

I had the chicken parmesan, which was also a recommendation, and what a feast it was. Next time, we are going to try dessert as well, but what a fabulous place and an awesome meal. We loved it!

The vegetables and shrimp accompanying the meal were cold, the halibut was luke warm. Needless to say, it was a disappointment. My wife's rack of lamb did not do well either. Our server asked if all was good, we said yes choosing not to complain. Our server was wonderful, she was attentive making sure we were taken care of. We did send a cocktail back, it didn't taste right. She offered a replacement but decided on an iced tea. Maybe in the future we'll give it another go.

They were all OK. The sauces for the rolls & dumplings could have used some "zip" I got kung pao chicken & my partner got black pepper beef. Our server told both of us, as we ordered, that these were spicy dishes. And, they were marked that way on the menu. Unfortunately, in both cases, we felt the dishes were under seasoned. It's almost as if, in the past, their clientele complained about spicy food & they swung too far the other way. Confucius is not inexpensive and while the portions were good, I'm not sure we would return. It's too bad

Worth ordering if you're going. The setup is casual: you order at the counter and the food is brought to your table, which keeps things moving even when it's busy. A couple things to note -- they only offer canned cocktails, which may not be for everyone, and it felt a bit overpriced for what you get. That said, the staff was really nice and the atmosphere was lively. Good spot for a casual bite, especially if you're in the mood for pizza, salad and wine.

Our waitress was Nicole, she went above and beyond to make our experience even better. She was so accommodating, friendly and an over-all GREAT waitress. We talked with Scotty, the manager to give our a commendation for her and he was also very nice and friendly as was Beth, the hostess on duty. We'll definitely will be back.

The attention to detail was immaculate, beautiful wood paneling for the ceiling, a big brick accent wall and the colors are just right it gives intimate setting while not feeling cramped. The noise levels are just right, its a lively atmosphere while not being too loud. Let's talk service because I actually need to give a shout out to the manager Scotty who came in clutch. Service in general was great, our waiter was attentive, polite, but not hovering. He was helpful and even asked about special occasions, which there was for once. Now, Scotty, this guy was a rockstar. So, they overcooked my wife's beef wellington and had to fire a new one. Not only did he explain what happened and was honest with us, he brought her out a complementary shrimp cocktail for the mistake and its little things like this that make a customer happy. So big shout out! Finally I want to close on the food, not just because of course the food and drink is a high point in most meals but because everything else was great! My steak was perfectly cooked, the prime rib as always is flavorful, buttery, soft and the chimichuri adds a nice zest to cut the richness. The vegetables were delightful but the meat is the high point. We had the escargot for an appetizer and I've never had it before. I must say they've made me a fan. All in all a wonderful dinner, a wonderful experience. Thanks for the great dinner!
