“Came through with the Irreverent Warriors hike on 9-20 and the staff was amazing and accommodating with us and made our stop there enjoyable.“

“The bartenders were amazing. The food was okay. The fish isn’t fresh and the oil they used was definitely old. I asked if it was fresh and he said yes. That is why I ordered what I ordered.
It came out dark and real greasy. The fruit platter was huge and delicious. The flatbread was good. The tortilla chips were stale. Not sure why they would serve them. The server was very laid back, nice but needed a reminder of why he was there. He had to be flagged down and it wasn’t busy. The drinks were great and the atmosphere was awesome. Great music.“

“Another fine meal at Drift. This time celebrating our anniversary, but this is not just a special occasion place. Our fourth visit didn’t disappoint. We shared the inventive and delicious mushroom yakatori, the luscious roasted carrot panzanella, and the never-to-be-missed ribeye with Diane sauce, roasted mushrooms and baby potatoes. Every bite and sip of cocktails and wine was simply delicious!“

“Celebrated my daughter’s birthday last night at the restaurant and the dining experience was amazing. A friendly, smiling hostess welcomed us upon entry and seated us immediately. Our waiter immediately came and took our drink order as we reviewed the menu. He delivered our drinks quickly and then took or order. Everything we ordered was on point, flavorful and seasoned appropriately. Oysters Rockefeller was great! The deviled eggs looked like they came out of a magazine, whipped and filled high! The Fat Crab Cakes were insane! Jumbo lump crab with no filler! Stuffed Shrimp were just as good! Highly, highly recommend! Best dining experience I’ve had in a long time!“

“I recently attended a wedding service and reception in the function room of Fish On. Due to a storm the wedding had to be moved in doors at the last minute. The manager and staff of Fish On went out of their way to assist and make sure the day was a huge success.\nThe food served from hors d'oeuvres to starters, mains and deserts was beautifully presented, and most delicious. The service was attentive without be intrusive. I understand the cost was extremely reasonable for what was provided.\nI would like to specifically compliment the staff who worked the function room. They were friendly, knowledgable, helpful, attentive and kind. \nI highly recommend Fish On if you are in the Lewes area. The food is superb, the ambiance inviting, and the staff excellent.“

My favorite is the Thai Chili Shrimp Taco, I can't order tacos from anywhere else. They truly have spoiled me. The owners are wonderful people and talented chefs! I purposely drive to Rehoboth to do my grocery shopping so I can order dinner once a week from First State!!! It is a must Go-To!!!“

“Last Friday, my wife and I went to the paradise pub for dinner. I have to say, the service was extremely outstanding. Every time one of the waitresses that past our table , asked if we needed something or if everything was OK. They were all extremely attentive, especially one of the managers Kristen, I believe. I think Paradise pub should be extremely proud of the staff. The food was delicious. My wife loved her cheesesteak, and I enjoyed the flounder pounder, immensely. I highly recommend this place for its fun atmosphere.“

“The calamari was the best I’ve had, the portion was huge and could have been a main course. The outside dining was awesome and the service was outstanding. Very accommodating to my wife’s garlic allergy. Would recommend this place to everyone. Thank you“

“Portion size was great, turkey was very good. Ham was very dry and really salty🥹 Stuffing was was kinda too wet.🥺 And string beans were undercooked😢 3 years ago it was all delicious. We were disappointed, I would rate the meal a 3/5. The workers seemed unhappy to be there, and were much more festive and excited the past 2 years.“
