   We went to Bramble and Brine for the first time to celebrate a birthday. We dined early but still found the service to be rushed and the waitress forgot to inform us of the daily specials. The house salad was limp and uninteresting and we found the entree (crab cakes) to be reasonably good but the plate additions overwhelmed the entree, especially the seared pork belly. All in all, a bit disappointing.

   It was a celebration of becoming engaged 17 years ago. Loved the food - rockfish and meatloaf Wellington. It was delicious. French onion soup and Caesar salad was also wonderful. Owner stopped by the table and the decor is great! We will be back again!

   This was our fourth time at the restaurant and probably the most disappointing. Nothing was bad, it was just that the service was very uneven (cutlery removed then not replaced in time, breads not offered though every other table had them, waiter never returned to check on how the food was) and the food seemed to have lost some of its previous sheen. Hopefully this was just a midsummer night's swoon and the quality will return soon.

   My wife and I had a Sunday evening dinner. Enjoyed the ambiance a lot. Had a drink in the bar while waiting a few minutes for our table. It was a bit noisy in the bar. The bartenders were great and made us a few fancy cocktails. For dinner we sat inside. It was comfortable, the service was great with Rachel. The duck eggrolls were fantastic along with the biscuits. My wife had the crab cake and raved about it. I had the rockfish which was also very good. We'll definitely be back for special meals.

    Biscuits and the salads were very good watermelon first ceasar second needed more dressing and brambles was good but overdressed. service was very good eggplant was great pasta and crabmeat was very good. The "wellington" was too dense and lacked a pinch of salt. Potatoes and very were very good but the overall dish suffered from the density and lack of tang in the sauce and meat.

    Al though I made a point of saying it was a special occasion no one on the staff mentioned that it was. I was looking forward to the trout almondine but I loved the catfish. Our only complaint was that for the price of the wines by the glass the pour was too small, way too small.

    We ordered the biscuits, duck egg rolls, empanadas and the charcuterie board. All of those very delicious and I would definitely order all of those again. For entrees we ordered the meatloaf wellington and the filet. The wellington was delicious and my husband was happy with the cook on the filet. The potatoes served with the filet were nothing special but we aren't going to let potatoes ruin our meal. We also ordered some cocktails- they were well made and refreshing. Overall, I would return and enjoy another meal.

    This was our second time dining here. Our waitress Ashley was great! We sat on the covered porch where there was a nice breeze. Duck egg rolls, biscuits, scallops and the halibut special were all delicious. Prices were a bit high as they are everywhere but you do get quality food.

    A rough experience. The wait staff were delightful yet inattentive. Despite me asking for a soft piece of fish, the fish came out firm. No one then came by the table for 20 minutes so my dinner partner ate while I waited until it was really too late to eat the main course. While my dinner was not charged, I never ate the main course anyways, no other service nor accommodation was made. Really disappointed.

    Having been associated with the ownership of a fine dining establishment in Wilmington for 13 years, I know chefs and owners of fine dining restaurants now must be struggling to balance serving delicious meals at reasonable prices especially given the rising food costs. Chefs can be very creative and that is why Meatloaf Wellington is even on the menu substituting hamburger for a more expensive beef cut. If the taste matches the presentation they have a hit. I ordered two specials: Caprese salad topped with a softshell crab and Stuffed Quail topped with a Quail egg. The softshell crab is meant to take the dish up a notch but it failed in this regard as the crab was so small it had no taste and thus did not enhance the flavor palette of the dish. It might have been beeter to substitute a heaping tablespoon of lump crabmeat although I admit I do not know the difference in price. Quail are small birds and it is not uncommon for the chef to overcook the bird making it dry but not so here as it was tasty and moist. I would have liked a slightly bigger bird but really the only issue with this dish was the delicate quail egg. Either the chef was not paying attention, or, more likely, the skillet was overheated, as the egg was scorched and it would have been better to leave it off for the presentation. Service by Rachel was efficient and pleasant. On the way out, I passed thru the Pink Pony Room which pays homage to a former Rehoboth restaurant. Parking is on the street in downtown Lewes which is sometimes an issue but not this time as I got a nearby spot. Overall, promising.

    We had a delicious meal last evening, starting with the charcuterie which was prepared to be gluten free with some really amazing cheeses. We both ordered the Flat Iron Steak special and it was superb! David took special care to make sure that my Celiac husband's food was not contaminated. This has become a regular spot for us, and we highly recommend it!

    I was disappointed with my recent meal, as I was with my earlier meal. Not only did I not care for my meals, but I felt the restaurant gave no breaks with expense. $17 for a martini, $6.00 for bread. 2 appetizers and a drink and my bill, plus tip was over $50.00. I will say the staff was very attentive in making sure we were enjoying ourselves, not only the waitress but a couple of others passed by to check on us. Of course I was having a good time with a good friend in a lovely setting. I appreciate all they have done to make the old house and grounds very attractive, but I am not sure I will be back any time soon.

    We were entertaining friends for a special occasion; dinner was delish, ie, crab cake, short ribs, scallops, and rockfish. The chef does a nice job preparing the entrees with roasted side potatoes and sauces to complement the entree. Atmosphere is so nice! Feels like “Old Lewes dining!” Rachael was our server and was very attentive and efficient in serving our meal. Thank you! Will come again!

    Definitely overpriced. Wellington meatloaf was burned at the bottom, rock fish had unusual chocolate sauce, but ribs were very good. And the noise...It was really hurting my ears. Don't think that will come back, which is a pity, because the place is beautiful.

    Bramble & Brine was quite expensive for what we ordered. The oyster stew was $15 and seemed to be absent of cream, had very few oysters, and a weird taste. Our cocktails were $14 each and were disappointing in terms of how we felt after two each.
