Checked their website after walking past and fell in love w their menu. Reservations are recommended. Food is Tapas style, so you get to sample a lot of their fare. We really enjoyed the Eastern Shore Guacamole, Fried Goat Cheese, Mac and Cheese, Gnocchi, and Lamb Burgers. Their cocktails are well done, also. Great place that is not the beach norm.

We were told an hour wait and my looking around my husband questioned it. We were seated in less than 20 minutes.Always a great meal at the SoDel restaurants. I ordered me Matt’s and Northeast favorite - fried chicken. I just enjoyed half of my meal today for lunch. Great meal!Others at the table had- Rueben, fish fry and salmon (one of the catches of the day) - all were enjoyed.Looking forward to the off season specials - love the crab cake special at Matt’s!Thank you so much for the review and kind words!

Bluecoast Seafood Grill

Reviewed By Gardeng32

We enjoyed our lunch at this airy white walled, wide plank floored, industrial lighted relatively new seafood place. It is well located on Rte 1 right before the Rehoboth Beach turnoff. Excellent service from River. My only complaint is that it is a bit pricey for the portion size.Thank you for the review! We appreciate your kind words on our atmosphere and service!

Reviewed By Catherine C

Sedona's best asset in my view is its high bar tables - often available on a walk in basis even in summer season. It's best food for me are the small plates, but they've become too complex as well. In general I'm not a fan of the type of food Sedona and soooo many other expensive restaurants have - lots of spicy, unusual ingredients. So if you're a simple eater, look elsewhere. The restaurant isn't big so many of the tables will be in walkways or other (to me) less desireable locations. It is too noisy. All that said it is considered to be a top restaurant around here, is always packed in season, and I'm told by foodies that the food is excellent.

The Blue Crab Restaurant

Reviewed By PappyTom

The ambiance, food and service met our expectations for a great dining experience on our last night in Bethany Beach. Our party sampled their specialty cream of crab soup, crab cakes and the Ahi Tuna Salad. All were very very good. The crab offerings were loaded with tasty crab and the Ahi Tuna was excellent albeit a bit overdone (for my preference) ... but still tasted great particularly with their special dressing.Definitely plan to make this restaurant a staple on our future visits to the area!

Reviewed By kbbuttino

The restaurant offers two seatings, and managed to accommodate our group of twenty. They also accommodated those that wanted to finish quickly for another activity. Children’s menu offered quite a variety. I had the conch fritters for an appetizer and they were delicious! I think we had one of each and every one voiced their satisfaction. Same with the main courses. I have the black sesame encrusted tuna with Asian noodles which was delicious. Family member had the crab cakes and said they were delicious. Menu variety was exceptional, and we were too full for dessert. We would definitely visit again.

New American fare with a focus on seafood & local ingredients at this cozy eatery with open kitchen.

Reviewed By Cziel

I never would have noticed this place in a little strip mall if the owner of my rental unit hadn’t recommended it, and I’m so glad she did. Nothing fancy here—just fantastic food. Do not miss the shrimp and grits—perfectly cooked shrimp, enough chorizo to give it some heat, and grits to make it all rich and creamy. Be sure to get some extra focaccia to sop up the broth!So glad you came to see us! The best food is always hidden away, and we're so glad you found us. We appreciate the kind words about the quality of the food, as well as the preparation that we work so hard to perfect. We'll pass the compliments along to our Chef! Can't wait to see you again next time.

What a difference a year makes. I’ll keep it short and sweet. The margarita was lousy (more salt on the rim than alcohol in the cup), my Waimea rice bowl was lukewarm, and the waiter showed no interest in his job. The really concerning thing is that the weather is suspect, so it’s not crowded here; the place is completely over staffed to the point that they’re standing around watching ESPN in the bar. I can’t imagine how it would be if they were busy. Yikes.Thanks for the feedback! Looks like the atmosphere on this day really contributed to a lousy experience. When planning the schedule, we can't necessarily predict that a late July/early August day will be "suspect." We've got to staff so that we are prepared if it ends up being a beautiful day. There are times when mother nature may throws us a curveball and because we were preparing to be busy, it may appear to a guest that we are "over-staffed." We welcome you to come back on a beautiful day so that you can see these guys and gals at their best.We will take note of the over-salted rim and lukewarm Waimea bowl as we begin planning for 2020.If you have any other thoughts on food and how we can improve, please shoot us an email at [email protected]!
