★★★★★ 5.0 Colleen G. · Feb 2026

Great fun local place to eat! We had a few appetizers as our meal and they all were delicious. I highly recommend the Beef Tartare, Mussels, and Oyster Rockefeller. Perfect mix of all different flavors between each dish. The atmosphere gives you the full “Oyster House” vibe while dining in at the bar or at a table. Great service at the bar and everyone was pleasant to be around and talk to. I cannot wait to come back!

We just moved to into the area and this is already my favorite spot! Although I can’t speak to the oysters, every other thing that I tried was extremely delicious! I loved their grilled squid, rotisserie chicken, butternut crab soup, and especially their fries. I truly think that their fries (surprisingly) are the best I’ve ever had - they have a crazy crunch on the outside and a soft inside on every single one. We were stuffed and didn’t even get to check out their dessert menu, so we have to come back for that!

A wonderful restaurant in the old part of the town Lewes. Located in an older historic building. They have a bar seating area as well as traditional booth and table seating. Lovely dark brown wood paneling. Very extensive beer and wine list with excellent seafood and non-seafood options. The grilled octopus starter was amazing. If oysters are your thing then this is heaven! The grilled salmon is also excellent.

This is a must-eat!!! Everything was delicious. The service was wonderful (shout out to Tamara) . Cocktails were on point - order a French 75 to go with dinner and you won't be disappointed. Also, very Gluten -free friendly. My daughter hasn't had safe calamari since she found out she couldn't have gluten, and was thrilled to be able to eat their calamari! I can't recommend this place enough!!
