Conch Island, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches, Restaurant, Review
Conch Island is the new addition to the many restaurants in downtown Rehoboth Beach. I love seeing all these new places opening up at this time of the year. More blogging for me.
The owners of Conch Island are not new to the restaurant business; they own several others at the beaches. I wanted to check the place out, so I stopped to have a drink. It was actually a little too early but perfect if I wanted to take some pictures. It is hard to take pictures if the place is full of patrons.
Conch Island is located at 207 Rehoboth Avenue, right in the center of town. The tel. is 302-226-West.
The restaurant is large and there are 3 bars. It is not crowded with tables; bar tables are spread out. It is going to be perfect for listening to music. They do have a stage and on week-ends they will have entertainment.
Conch Island has the Captain Morgan Bar. It is a quiet corner of the restaurant, where you can chat with friends away from the music on the other side.
It is a fullfledged restaurant. Some of the appetizers that caught my attention were: Conch Fritters, Smoked Fish Dip, Cracked Conch, Tuna Tataki and Jerk Chicken Quesadillas.
I love Conch Chowder and they do have it, as well. Sandwiches like the catch of the day and the Cuban Sandwich interested me, as well.
For entrees they do have the classics from the grill like New York Strip and Filet Mignon. Other additions are Key West Scallops, Cayo Hueso Paella, and Key West Pink Shrimp among others.
The desserts that tempted me were the Key Lime Pie and the Chocolate Republic Rum Cake which is served warm with a white chocolate glaze.
I think they will do well. The restaurant is casual just like it should be at the beaches. I really would like to visit on a week-end when maybe a little Calypso music could be enjoyed.
Have a great day!!! Talk to you later….as usual….
