Way over priced for the food. 3 scallops for $42!!! Some unidentifiable meat on top of potatoes. Very disappointing. Should have known better since ownership is the same as fable. Also terrible. Won’t return

We had an excellent meal at Bramble and Brine at the Buttery last night. We started with the Decoy Cabernet and the Escargot. My husband ordered the Duck Entree and I tried the Coquilles Saint-Jacques. Both were delicious. If you want to go out for a wonderful meal you must try Bramble. You will be pampered from the minute you arrive until you leave. We'll see you again soon!

Buttery atmosphere was exceptional! 30th Wedding Anniversary, seated on side porch that was absolutely lovely with flowers and trees and twinkle lights! Decor was beautiful! I had escargot appetizer and lobster tail entree. Delicious. Hubby had incredible creamy veggie soup and NY Strip over truffle fries. Unfortunately even though steak was requested to be medium rare, it was medium done. Oh well. Other than that, food and drinks very good. Will definitely make reservations for next time we visit Lewes.

We went there to celebrate our anniversary. The food was delicious (scallops are a must). My husband has the Halibut, and it was really good. Maghen the owner visited our tables and asked how our food was "nice touch". Nathalie was server was cordial and great. First time at the restaurant but will definitely come back again!!

The service was excellent, and it is a nice place to dine for a special occasion. The better than average quality of food does not justify such high prices, especially in a beach town.

For being marketed as “fine” dining, we were really disappointed. We started with the peach and burrata salad which was excellent, but that was the highlight of dinner. All of us agreed our entrees were just ok. My husband had the scallops, which contained only 3 scallops. For $42, we would have expected more. I had the crab cake which wasn’t bad, but certainly it wasn’t the best crab cake in the region (Woody’s in our opinion). Our friends shared the steak which they described as “chewy” and the Cordon Bleu which did not contain much stuffing.. it was basically chicken breast. The restaurant ambience itself is lovely and a bit quirky. It all just seemed overpriced and we have had far better experiences at nearby Striper Bites and Lewes Oyster House. We actually walked across the street and ordered a pizza following our meal because the guys were still hungry.

Service was great. Food was good but not quite worth the price point for some of the dishes. The crab cake was lack luster and a bit over seasoned. We enjoyed the Meatloaf Wellington and the Lobster Tail. Probably would not return, however as there are a couple better options in the area with similar dishes.

The restaurant was lovely and the bar area appeared to be very inviting. The food was very so-so. Might have considered giving it a second try, but was turned off when I received my bill and was charged for the mixer that was in my cocktail. (I ordered vodka with a splash of tonic and was charged $2.00 for the splash of tonic and $15. for the vodka. Felt like nickel diming to me.)

This is a fabulous restaurant. The service we experienced was some of the best ever. David was very attentive but never rushed us a bit. He gave excellent descriptions of each special and the couple of entrees we had questions about. The food was very good and plenty was on the plate. The restaurant is in an old house that they have renovated very well. It is not over crowded in the small rooms and the noise level was well under control. Highly recommend

My wife, daughter, and I went with my mother, who said this was her best beach restaurant meal ever, and I would have to agree with her. All of the food was fantastic and distinctly French. All of the meals heading out to other tables looked great and made me think “I’ll have to get that next time.” If you’re in Lewes and are looking for a great meal, go here.

We had a great dinner tonight. Soft shell crabs were the special and we jumped on it since they were so great last week. The service is excellent, our escargot appetizer was delicious and the crab entrees were amazing! Thank you Natalie for taking such good care of us, and as always it was nice seeing you Jimmy!

A wonderful experience here! Beautiful and comfortable ambience, impeccable service with David who paid attention to every detail while being truly charming and informative; delicious food, and inspired specialty lemonades, with an array of choices to surprise and delight anyone. We sat on the enclosed porch area, and enjoyed soup, bread, appetizer dip, and main courses. And alas we shall return to save room for dessert! Our best meal in Lewes so far! Can’t wait to come back.

We started with a nice bottle of wine and ordered the Escargot to share. Then we both ordered the special which was soft shell crabs over corn and tomato salad with cherry pepper remoulade. Mine was in a tempura and my celiac husbands was sautéed. They were presented so beautifully I had to stop and photograph them. They were even more delicious than they looked, and that’s saying something. Natalie took excellent care of us and we always feel valued when we dine at Bramble and Brine at the Buttery.

A disappointing experience. The worst issue was being seated by a family with 2 young children. Not pleasant with the fidgeting, winging and child in a high chair kicking off. Thought we might avoid family time with a 7:30 reservation. That killed the ambience for us! The food didn't meet 'fine dining' expectation. The Coquilles St. Jacques was soupy & grey - it didn't look appetising but did taste good. The Halibut Amandine was dry. The highlight was the Crabe au Gratin. Enjoyed the wine but a shame it didn't arrive till after we'd finished the starter. The restaurant needs to either drop it's prices or up it's game in order to be considered value for money.

We had an excellent meal here with our grown daughter. We shared the Escargot over brioche, I ordered the Meatloaf Wellington, my husband had the Duck Breast and my daughter chose the Steak Frites. I really cannot say enough about Bramble and Brine at the Buttery. We are always warmly welcomed, the staff is amazing, and the food is beyond compare in my opinion. It’s such an enjoyable experience dining here!

Bramble & Brine at the Buttery was a fantastic experience. We were in town for a wedding and a group of 6 of us wanted to have a nice evening before wedding festivities began. We made a reservation here and showed up a bit early, we were able to get a cocktail by the bar which was absolutely delicious. Our server was incredibly accommodating of dietary restrictions of one of our friends and was really sweet. The food was fantastic and the ambiance was lovely! We had a great time and strongly recommend!!

Wellington meatloaf puff pastry was soggy and pasty due to being served on top of mashed potatoes and covered with a thick goopy sauce. Tasted ok, but really poorly made. The halibut was dry and overcooked. The bread and wine was good though. $42 for a really poorly made hamburger Wellington is way too much. The servers were very good also.
