First and foremost, not an Irish Pub. If that is what you expect, pass. Irish Eyes Pub is…read morebasically an American bar with a smattering of Irish food. It's like the chef threw together a bunch of dishes on the menu and decided to add a few Irish dishes. Not even any Irish beer, except Guinness. Food was decent but not memorable. The inside is very loud so having a conversation is tough. We sat outside which was pleasant but all the drinks come in plastic cups. I hate beer it plastic cups. Service was good but with all the vacationers and folks going to the theater the kitchen was stretch thin. If you go over the summer plan some extra time and maybe an extra drink Would I go again, probably not in the summer and not to expect an Irish Pub

Best food I've had this week. We tried going here the other day but they do not open till noon. So…read morewe were like rats! Well something about this place kept gnawing at us. So today we're getting hungry for lunch and we walked the two miles to this place. We got the scallops that were an App. Those were absolutely delicious. After that I got the tuna wrap. And fries with no salt. That wrap was so good. Tun was perfect. Exactly what I needed. We got mocktails that were really good too. I'd def suggest this place to anyone coming down to Dewey. It's within walking distance.

The staff were attentive and very nice. Highly recommend.

My friend asked for a bigger table and they weee nice enough to give it to us despite being busy on a Saturday night. My friend also was concerned about the lamb being too gamey but wanted to give it a try. He was a big fan. I got to try a piece of his and it was good too. I went with the Denver steak- I never had this portion of meat before and I see why it is advertised as a separate item now. It is likely this was randomly packaged before or the cattlers kept it for themselves and just sold the masses everything else. Japan has been known to sell this meat portion decades? Ago known as 'zabuton' apparently. It isn't really a new "invention" per se, but apparently a meat association helped with the marketing and accessibility of this meat to make it what it is today. It appears many places do not offer this but a handful of places do offer this. The doors are nice and the signs don't strike me as stand out but they are nice easy to read aigns. The decor inside creates a beautiful ambiance of the classy restaurant that represents the food they served. The asparagus, carrots, Kennett mushrooms, were cooked well. The lamb was tender and juicy. My Denver was tender, juicy, and flavorful in a way that you don't need to add sauce and it might even be a faux pas to do so. I suggest medium or medium rare. I got mine medium well but for this kind of meat. I think medium rare is probably best. The key lime is 3 layers which is a cake and then key lime layer times 3 layers. My friend said it was a bit dry but we both thought it was good and all desserts are made in-house. My friend thinks a lot of butter is used in a lot of places to make the food taste truly good and I believe that. I don't really think about these things and just try to eat and appreciate what is in front of me, but it certainly is good to be mindful of these kind of ingredients used as well. The alcohol was fine. My friend's drink was not too sweet and my espresso cocktail had a good balance of flavor and booze. I asked for a shrimp add on and maybe the waitress didn't hear me but I didn't get that. However I also wasn't charged for it and by the meal's end when I realized this, I did not want this add-on. The bathroom apparently could've used some cleaning.

We were celebrating our 10 year anniversary. The renovations were wonderful. The restaurant and bar…read moreare beautiful. We were seated in the dining room, close to the bar. It was very loud but we knew that from previous reviews. Our server was new. We ordered drinks and didn't wait too long. The maple bourbon old fashioned was on point. We ordered and enjoyed our drinks. Apps came out quickly. The oysters Rockefeller were delicious. The tuna tartare was extremely salty. We would have mentioned this to our server had he checked in. As we were finishing, he brought steak knives and I told him about the tuna. He said he would tell the chef (I doubt he did). He didn't clear our plates. The food runner brought our entrees but we still had our app plates. It was very awkward trying to clear our own plates while he also put our entrees down. Multiple servers, bus people, hostesses, etc. had walked by and saw our empty plates. I would think someone would have cleared them. The filet trio was cooked perfectly and was fabulous. My husband's ribeye was also cooked perfectly. At this point, we finally saw our server again. We had no water and I had no drink for about 15 minutes before he came back. I ordered a rosemary old fashioned and asked for more water. He brought more water but I waited 10 minutes for my drink. Had our server been back sooner, I probably would have even ordered a third drink. We finished our dinner but needed some wrapped up. He brought us a box. I do know many people prefer to wrap their own food. I've worked in many restaurants- both upscale and casual. We always offered to box leftovers. We then ordered the banana cream pie and devoured it. It was amazing. Overall, food was delicious (except the tuna). Service was just bad. Our server couldn't multitask to save his life. He barely touched the table. Also, when I had asked what the sides were, he mentioned 4 and said "and many more." I thought that was funny. Other staff also walked by and no one else touched the table. It seemed like there were multiple managers, but again, no one touched the table. At this price point, service should be impeccable (as it used to be). We may try it again (most likely happy hour). It also didn't help that two tables away a guy kept dropping loud f-bombs while there was a family with two teenage daughters sitting next to us. I'd give 4 stars for food and 1 star for service. Up your training game.

I had written a previous review. My wife said it was too much so I took it down and revised it…read more The food was amazing. They do serve some serious nachos! The portions for most of the food is deceptively large and all scratch recipes. You will be leaving with take-out boxes for sure. The Service was pretty awesome. Last summer, my wife and I discovered First State, which at the time was still new. Dallas was our server the first time that we ate at First State, and then we were lucky enough to have him again this time and he remembered us. Before we could get a word out he said "Hey, welcome back!" like we had been friends for years. BEST SERVER EVER! Extremely attentive without crowding our table. Very knowledgeable. I suspect that that is a reflection of the whole staff. The hostess was pleasant. A bit quiet but pleasant. The bartender, Joel (?), seemed fun and engaging. He welcomed everyone like they were regulars, and really looked like he was enjoying his job. Even the young kid that dropped our food was on point, setting our dishes in the right places without asking. Making sure that we didn't need anything before he left. The whole experience was great. I'm a fan and we will be back. The atmosphere and vibe was fun and relaxing. Not your standard rush to order, eat fast, and "here's your bill" sit down restaurant. The restaurant is very clean and it is open and spacious. The place has that great neighborhood brewpub vibe feel. We LOVED the beer label walls! I want to do that in my man cave! Awesome idea. The large TVs were playing a variety of sports. The music was pretty good. Maybe a touch loud. They have live music that seemed to be setting up as we were leaving. Apparently they have live music every Friday and Saturday. We wish that we could have stayed. Dallas said that the band coming in that night was pretty popular. All in all, First State was a fun, and delicious dining experience. my only criticism would be that it is a bit pricey. I understand that scratch restaurants are going to be more expensive, but charging someone for a small container of sauce seems a little like nickel and dime budgeting. Understandable but not attractive All in all, First State is a great time. Ask for Dallas. He's next level service and you'll leave with a new friend. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR FIRST STATE!!!!

Was in the Rehoboth Beach area for the first time with the family for a mini vacation. We had our…read more"picky eater" daughters with us so based on the menu it looked like First State had a few options to their liking. The inside was nice with a bit of a sports bar feel. Our meal included: - Marinier Mussels (shared) - Brewhouse Pretzel (my wife loves pretzels) - Brewhouse wings (shared) - Cheese Burger + Fries (for our youngest) - Birria Flatbread (for our oldest) Overall the food was good and everyone enjoyed what they had. I had one of their dark beers (I think it was a chocolate porter) and my wife had a margarita. The girls wanted something sweet so they got the chocolate cake and a Smores Cheesecake. I think this was their favorite part of the meal because they were slightly reluctant to share. The wait staff were great and very attentive. Overall we had a good experience and would recommend.

It's your typical pub with tvs a bar and some very comfortable sitting against the wall. All staff was very friendly and I was very impressed with our very overworked server.
