We’ve never had a bad meal! We always request Chelsea as our server as she’s such a bright and bubbly face who has wonderful menu suggestions! Very attentive and makes it a wonderful experience!“

“This was delicious! Would come back here in a heartbeat. I’d share a picture of the food, but it’s gone. We had a party of 14 and Aly killed it. Was extremely attentive and very friendly. Drinks were great, and atmosphere was fun!! 10/10 recommend! Ask for Aly!!“

“Fantastic food and service! So relaxing, and we will be back. ❤️ 5/5 stars!“

“I had the grilled salmon tonight and it was excellent!! Served over a mix of pearl pasta, cheese, mushrooms and leeks. Couldn’t have asked for a tastier meal. Will go back again soon. Service and atmosphere was very good as well.“

“We had a very delicious meal at this warm, cozy place last night, which is in a beautiful historic home in downtown Lewes.

We were early for our reservation, so we went in the back to the Pink Pony bar area for a drink. Husband and I had very good wine, daughter had a limoncello lemon drop, which she loved. The bartenders were so friendly and fun!

For dinner, we were seated in the enclosed wrap around front porch area, with views of the town that was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Our waiter, Filip, was outstanding. He helped us make good menu choices, according to our tastes, and provided excellent service throughout our meal.

We started with the charcuterie board, which we enjoyed sharing. Husband and I chose the Chicken Cordon Bleu. It was fabulous, with caramelized roasted carrots, crisp tender green beans, all on a bed of pomme purée. Daughter chose a delicious pumpkin ravioli, which was leaving the menu the next day. She greatly enjoyed it.

We will definitely be back to this restaurant.

Highly recommend.“

“Kind servers, flavorful food, and a beautiful establishment create a wonderful dining experience.“

“Disappointed our flatbread was not hot and the cheese wasn’t as Ben all the way melted. We had one in the past that was great. The cauliflower appetizer has also changed. The florets. Are huge and the old ones used to be much smaller and easier to eat. Atmosphere is beautiful. Meal was good but disappointed in these two things“

“Husband and I had a wonderful dinner celebrating our birthdays at Shorebreak Lodge Restaurant this weekend. The restaurant decor is sophisticated and the seating is super comfortable. The owners Ben and Diane go over and above to make sure that you are comfortable and happy. Their craft cocktails are the best! Always wanted to try octopus and this dish did not disappoint. Everything from appetizers to dinner was so delicious. Everyone we have recommended the restaurant to has gone there for dinner and they always tell us how great their experience was. We believe this restaurant to be one of the best restaurants in Sussex County Delaware. We highly recommend.“

“Wonderful gracious hosts! The gnocchi is absolutely amazing and the best espresso martini I have ever had!“

“I have a severe peanut/tree nut allergy and our server, Nicole, immediately went and checked with the kitchen. She even brought me back labels to read which made me feel so comfortable eating there. She truly went above and beyond! Beautiful view, great service, and the food is very good. We will definitely be back when we visit Dewey again! 😊“

“Unbelievable food I look forward every weekend in the summer going to smokin D’s. It’s family owned and operated, and they are the nicest people you will ever meet. They are on a first name basis with practically all their customers. Highly recommended.“

“Incredible atmosphere and ambience, perfect for a romantic night out. The dishes are flavorful, colorful and balanced to be pleasant yet impactful. 10/10 recommend!“

“My sister in law recommended and we went on our anniversary eve and had a spectacular time. The food was excellent and the waiter, Antonio, felt like a long lost friend. As we were leaving, Bob the owner made a point of coming over and saying hello and chatting. Prior, As we were sitting at our table and enjoying our time and a wonderful drink, we noticed that Bob knew everyone that came in. We felt “left out” but by the time we left we felt like family. It doesn’t hurt that the food was really really good. We went on a Monday and they had a steak frites special as well as a filet special. The steaks were perfectly cooked and the sides were extremely well prepared. I almost don’t want to recommend because I want this wonderful place all to myself. Thanks to all and we will be back! Enjoy. We also met Christy who was as nice as the rest of the group. You cannot go wrong here.“

“Yummy food amazing staff!“

“There’s no sub like it in Sussex County Delaware. We got an Italian with prosciutto, it was packed full,fresh and delicious. And the rolls are out of this world. Five star.“

“Your grill cheese sandwich is out of this world, perhaps adding tomato soup to the menu would put this lunch time favorite over the top! Love your place!“
