Dining in Rehoboth Beach, Eden, Restaurant, Review, Delaware Beaches…The combination of presentation, creativity and taste is what sets Eden apart!!
I must have looked like I did not know where I was going, as I checked Eden’s menu. Two couples said “there are no bad restaurants in Rehoboth Beach”. I turned around and answered “I know, I live here”. With that the conversation continued as to what restaurant they should go to on Sunday evening. I told them that my choice was Eden. I quickly told them a bit about the restaurant and I also told them about other restaurants in the area. Then I said “read my post on AboutMyBeaches”.
In the meantime, my friends arrived. We were looking forward to this dinner. I mean it when I say that Eden has never failed me. The combination of presentation, creativity and taste really does set them apart. It is quiet inside, with just the right music on the background. Tables and booths are the choices of seating.
Eden is located at 23 Baltimore Avenue, in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. Tel. 302-227-3330. Website? http://www.edenrestaurant.com. The restaurant also has outdoor dining. On summer nights or balmy fall evenings, it is a nice place to have dinner.
Danielle was going to be taking care of us. She was so attentive and so professional. Her suggestions were perfect. I wanted to try something different and she guided me to dishes that contained amazing flavors.
When reviewing a restaurant, it can be said that we eat with our eyes at first; a beautiful presentation starts the process. Eden offers that and so much more. You don’t want it to end.
So, on Sunday night this was our experience.
Only 2 of us wanted appetizers, and we both ordered the same thing. Truffled parsnip and Mushroom Salad – Spinach, Toasted Hazelnuts, Ricotta Salata. Danielle told us how the salad was wrapped and how the flavors with the toasted hazelnuts were going to be so different and good. She was right!
An entree of Wasabi/Sesame Crusted #1 Ahi Tuna, with sticky rice, seaweed salad, wasabi, and soy sauce. This tuna will melt in your mouth.
Another entree that was very well received was the Grilled Broken Arrow Ranch Antelope, toasted Farro, heirloom carrots, Fifer white peaches, brussel sprouts, blueberry/black cardamon savory demi.
An order of grilled artichokes hearts for the table…tasty.
The Pan Roasted Salmon was beautiful and got good reviews, as well. It had a lima and white bean saute, crispy rutabaga, maitake mushrooms, creamy butternut squash puree, and mizuna pesto.
I loved my entree. I really did. It was Braised Pork Ragu, with caramelized pearl onions, roasted apples, wild mushroom confit, rosemary fazzoletti and nutmeg/ricotta foam. Lots of different flavors in this dish. A fazzoletti is a pasta handkerchief; they are delicate.
Our dinner ended with a Tribute to the Candy Bar!! Layers of peanut butter and dark chocolate mousse, ganache and sea salt. Everything edible!!
Always love having dinner with friends….it seemed that the evening went so fast!! Until next time. Talk to you later.
Note: Eden has a full bar. It also offers catering and has room for private parties. And, they are sensitive to those customers with gluten allergies. On Wednesday evenings is Steakhouse Night. Prix Fixe Menu. $35 for 3 courses. Save the date of Friday, 10/12 when there will be a Jazz Wine Dinner.
