   Our very first visit to this resturant and last! Waiter and service was attentive but meal was not up to par with the cost. Ordered razor clams which were very chewey, overcooked, Oyster Rockafellor which tasted more like spinach and with no flavor, and main dish of scallops which were overcooked. Monday is burger night and now I know why! Will not be back again.

   Stellar as always. Get the deckle steak, oysters, 🦪 lobster 🦞 gnocchi, amazing service and food. Diego paired a fabulous glass of wine 🍷 from South Africa.

   Great food, drink and service in a warm inviting atmosphere! We always have the best time dining with friends here. Enjoyed trying some new menu additions. Love the inventive cocktail and wine list. Oysters are always fresh and A+ with plenty of choices.

   Had my wife’s birthday dinner. Service was exceptionally all around. Wait staff, bartender, chef and manager. Couldn’t have been better.

   We were seated on time on a busy Friday night. Chelsea, our server was professional and attentive. Two of us had salmon, one halibut , one gnocchi and one steak tartare with oysters, all done to perfection. Great spot which we go to several times per year.

   Terrific meal at a favorite spot since their opening in Lewes. Oysters, wines, creative soup (asparagus/crab/leeks!), and her halibut all hit the spot. Super server (thanks, Alex), and a special table visit by Exec. Chef, Sean Corea, added to our enjoyment. Highly recommend ;-)

   Overall, a good experience. Drinks and apps were very good. Service was outstanding. Entrees were okay. My poached halibut was dry and very small considering the price. My wife’s pasta was very good.

   Sorry about the Halibut. Please feel free to speak up if there is ever an issue so we can address it at the time of service. It would be our great pleasure to make it right immediately. Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Hopefully, we’ll see you again. Cheers!

   Our first time and it won't be the last!!! We had a great experience overall. Deb, our server, was excellent and efficient. The place was hopping for a Monday night and had a good vibe. The Damn Good Burger is now my GO TO burger!!! Juicy, perfect medium double patties, with all the toppings! Messy and great! Wild catfish sandwich and the lamb pita sandwich were also excellent! The oysters menu was extensive and the two we chose were DELICIOUS!!! The location is right in the center of town, so adds to the whole Lewes experience. It will definitely be our go to place!

   Sometimes having a good waiter makes a real difference. Carlos(??) was very good about making reasonable and excellent recommendations. Everything was EXCeLlENT! O

    We went for a bachelorette dinner and the staff were so welcoming and helped make a special night more magical. Food was fantastic. Highly recommend for a higher energy dinner on a Saturday night!
