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!“

“Big Fish Grill is one of our favorites at the beach! The food is always excellent, as it was this time around. The chicken carbonara, surf & turf, and charcoal shrimp were delicious meals that our family enjoyed. In addition to the great food, our service was the best I can remember. Robbin, our server, was attentive to our needs, bringing our daughter extra lemons and getting the kitchen to do her grilled shrimp without the "spices". She was so pleasant and as our daughter stated, "she's the best server ever"! We'd agree. Wonderful spot, wonderful food, wonderful service!“

“Had dinner with friends and we all enjoyed our selves. While waiting for our table we enjoyed our beers and cocktails.

After a short wait we were shown our table and our server was helpful and attentive the whole night.

The appetizers were tasty and delicious. We all enjoyed our entrees and I had the paella. Nice bits of seafood that enhanced the dish. In my opinion, there could have been some more but it was still worth having.

Great restaurant and we had a great time. I would like to go back and try other options from the menu. The menu is diverse so there is something for everyone.“

“Flavors, textures, cooking technique better than a 5 Star restaurant. Everything on the menu is Amazing. Their homemade sauces are like nothing I have ever tasted before and I am quite the Foodie! 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.“

“Amazing clam bake. So fresh and quite an abundance of food. Exceeded my expectations!
The shrimp was super large and cooked just right. Lobster a little tough but since I was late to pick up my hot order, it probably was a little overdone from that.
I worked with Evin after I placed my order with someone (forgive me… I don’t recall her name😔). Great communication with both. Upon pick up, Evin was there to help me through a lil bump and was beyond friendly and such a pleasant person all around. 🙌🏼
Lots of food in each clam bake. 1st time…. impressed. Will have guests over again just to have this clam bake!“

“My husband and I came here for a date night on Friday of seawitch weekend and it was AMAZING. Our server was soooo attentive and sweet. She also never ever made us feel rushed, she spent time answering all of our menu questions and chatting with us even though the restaurant was busy- she was able to be attentive to all her tables while still making us feel like she had time for us (I wish I could remember her name- you know who you are though!! You told me the story about the walnuts in the pesto situation ?) oh and the food. SO GOOD. She told us it's a "from scratch" kitchen and although we didn't have a long wait for our food, even if we did it would have been worth it. We had Moscow mules also which were delish. Definitely try this new place out!“

“Delish loved the servers and bartenders great food“
