    Always a delicious delight at Shorebreak Lodge. Stefano, our waiter was friendly and his recommendations spot on! Nothing like a kitchen that understands gluten free options! The 'fancy fries' are worth the trip! Ben's cocktails are superb! Looking forward to returning!

    If you’re looking for an Unforgettable Dining Experience Shorebreak Lodge is our favorite Rehoboth Beach restaurant. From the very first time we stepped into Shorebreak, and every time since (which has been often) we just know that we are in for something special. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between cozy and elegant, with warm lighting, tasteful decor, and super friendly staff. The service is consistently outstanding from start to finish. Our server this time (Kara) was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations and ensuring every detail of our evening was perfect. Now, the food—absolutely incredible. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Whether you’re a foodie or simply looking for a memorable night out, Shorebreak delivers on all fronts. This place is a must-visit, and can’t wait to go back. Make sure to say hello to the amazing owners, Ben and Diane.

    We had an absolutely fantastic evening. It was my husband‘s 89th birthday and we were treated like Kings and Queens. We were greeted by a wonderful gentleman named Stefano who sad and immediately obtain Service for us. Our waiter was just who I cannot begin to say enough about. He was pleasantly social and extremely knowledgeable. He explained the beverages we chose in detail. He knew our food selections and made sure they were served hot.  we started with beverage selections my husband and I having the smooth pressed old-fashioned. It was something to definitely rave about. Once the process of pressing was explained to us I enjoyed it even more.. The food was outstanding. We had three tapas that I will say is the way to go. It gives you a small bite and allows you variety. My husband had what he calls the best shrimp and grits he ever had and we spent 20 years in South Carolina. I had the grilled octopus that was made to perfection with such tenderness on the inside. Our Daughter had scallops that once again we’re excellent. We raved throughout dinner, the tastiness of the food With soft flavors that were not over season and delightfully presented. We ended our dinner with a big slice of carrot cake that was brought to the table with a candle for my husband. We finished off our beverages. I knew we had one of the best experiences in quite some time.
