“We dined at One Coastal over the weekend. We had four people in our party and everyone ordered a different item on the menu. Food was fantastic! I enjoyed a simple pasta dish that was the most delish meal I’ve had in years. I shared with everyone at the table and everyone loved it. My husband had the pork chop and reported that it was delicious. My daughter had the scallops and said they were perfect. Her boyfriend had the flank steak and it looked terrific. But my pasta was PERFECTION!“

“Had a great experience at Harpoon Hanna's! We started with the Smash Burger Buddies appetizer, which was a perfect way to kick off the meal. For our entrées, the Blackened Shrimp Wedge and the Buffalo Chicken Wrap were both fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. We also enjoyed a couple of Orange Crushes that were refreshing and paired perfectly with the food.

The service was friendly, the atmosphere was fun and relaxed, and everything came out quickly. Great food, great drinks, and a great waterfront vibe. We'll definitely be back!“

“Love going here. Staff is friendly, atmosphere, food and service is great. Still love it after dining here for 18 years. They won Top Bakery in Fenwick Island for 2025 certified by Business Rate. Their Danish pastries are loaded with filling as are their other items. Love their eclairs and cream cheese Danish as well as their scones, ricotta and last but not least their sticky buns. Love their pancakes and breakfasts. Grilled cheese and Reubens are especially good. Love the decor because it reminds me of my Mom's kitchen.“

“On Monday, August 4th, we had a party of 18 for light fare dining and drinks. Our server, Nikki, was exceptional. Professional, accommodating, super nice and was so efficient. Our food was delivered timely and everyone was pleased with the quality and temperature of the menu items ordered. Not an easy task for such a large party and on a very busy night. Drinks orders were also served timely and were delicious. Thank you Thomas, Nikki and staff for a wonderful evening.“

“My husband and I had a great breakfast experience, just a few minutes ago!! Great food - not a bunch of hoity-toity “foodie” fare - just simple dishes, sides, and combos that are prepared perfectly. Sahara Cafe is, now, on our “must visit” list! Staff is very friendly and super efficient. The cafe is homey and traditional, reminiscent of restaurants from my youth - that great diner feeling. Let’s talk about that giant cup o’ Joe… delicious, hot, and the size of a “FRIENDS” cup!! What?! Not having to wait for multiple refills?! That’s right. Not that you’d have to wait because their servers are very attentive and accommodating. Five stars, for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My husband and I had the pleasure of dining here as we were a Veteran family invited to Bethany Beach with Operation SEAS the Day. Words can’t express our gratitude of the wonderful dinner that we had. The outdoor patio is beautiful and romantic. We both ordered the ribeyes and they were delicious, juicy, and tender. The crab dip was the best I have ever eaten. We loved the cream of crab and French onion soups. The servers were friendly and took very great care of us. This restaurant is must if you are in town, we will definitely come back when we return to Bethany Beach.“

“We are never disappointed at Cafe Mirage!! Whether we try the daily specials or the menu staples, the food is delicious, consistent, and the portions are amazing!! You will not leave hungry or dissatisfied!! What makes this place exceptional though, is the staff and the vibe. You are going to be met with smiling faces and be treated like a local. You’d be amiss to not experience this wonderful, family friendly local spot yourself!!!“

Parking is free as long as you are dining at either venue.“

“As someone who has vacationed to OC three times. We have never been to a higher end restaurant before and had no idea what to expect. The added 20 percent was a bit confusing but the food was delicious, the staff was amazing and it was a great experience for sure. I definitely didn't expect to spend what we did but it was a once in a lifetime experience for us and it was worth it for sure!“
