Blue Moon is one of those iconic places in Rehoboth Beach that checks all the boxes. Great food, love the atmosphere, excellent service, entertainment that you would want to come for more.
Love The Atrium, Bar and high tops. Two piano players this summer. I love them both. The customers get right into the whole show. More so if you can carry a tune.
Location? 35 Baltimore Avenue.
I order the Tuna Carpaccio all the time.
Next? Mozzarella Burrata…Grilled Mango. How good is that?
Not only did we order Roasted Oysters. We order two of them?
You may not think you would order the Chicken Pot Pie. Think again. It is awesome?? You need to try it.
Very tasty Short Rib Stroganoff. Another good choice.
Stuffed Shrimp, big, perfectly cooked and crabmeat to boot!
Now the “piece of resistance”. Should we do it? Of course we did. The Moon Pie Bomb. I may have felt guilty but not really.
Our Server Juan Perez deserves a big shout❤️
Wishing the best weekend. AboutMyBeaches is on Facebook and Instagram.

Wow, two visits to The Federal in 2 weeks. That good. It opened in Downtown Rehoboth Beach a few years ago as Federal Fritter. I have to agree that calling it just The Federal is so much better.
We tried the Crispy Virginia Oyster Fritters and we chose the Lemon Horseradish Aioli for dipping. They were crispy and light.
Going back and forth….what should we have?
A choice of the Softshells as a main course. They did have them as a starter, as well.
I am so glad the House Made Ricotta Gnocchi is kept on the menu. It is delicious. This dish has MD Blue Crab (the best), gulf shrimp, New Bedford scallops, sugar snap peas, pesto cream sauce.
The scallops is another dish that is excellent. Served with sauteed sweet corn, local peaches, and pickled banana peppers.
I decided to go with two starters for my dinner. Brought at the same time.
Chilled Delmarva Sweet Corn Soup with poached gulf shrimp, pickled watermelon, and roasted corn.
Then the Starter offering of the Softshells.
Fresh fruit during the summer…..Yummy tarts with homemade ice cream.
I have to give a shout to Lauren. She was so friendly and knew the menu well.
Summer 2023 as we know it is coming to an end but the next season is my favorite in Southern Delaware.

Taking an opportunity of a gorgeous day we went for an early dinner to Harbour at Canal Square located at 134 W Market St., Lewes. Tel. 302-200-9500. It opens Wednesday-Sunday. Lunch Friday and Saturday and Brunch on Sunday. Please check:
It happened to be a hot and beautiful summer day. Walking around Rittenhouse Square on Sunday was quiet. There were plenty of people sitting out, enjoying the end of the weekend.
Dinner would be at Townsend EPX, located at 1623 E Passyunk Ave., Philadelphia. 267-534-4175.:
Chef Townsend Wentz has achieved many accolades. This is his French restaurant but he also has an Italian one and a Spanish one. All highly acclaimed. Click on the link to know more.
Philadelphia is known for its food and plenty of restaurants to satisfy discerning palates.
Townsend is intimate. Not too many tables, perfect for conversation.
As you come in there is a bar and a couple of tables at the bar. The main dining room is down a bit.
You may order A la Carte or from their Tasting Menu. Regarding the Tasting Menu the whole table will need to participate.
A la Carte for us please. We started with a Seared Foie Gras. A strawberry compote using a 30 year Balsamic on grilled sourdough. Just looking at this photo now a month later is making my mouth water.
When I see grilled octopus on a menu I usually order it. Over the years I have found some particularly tasty ones and this one did not disappoint. Had a tomato salad, herb Creme Fraiche, squid ink tuile and sauce daube. A tuile is a traditional French water biscuit. You see it on the photo, dark and lace like. A daube sauce is a stew sauce.
The roasted duck had potato pave, shiitake mushrooms, English peas, and a sauce au poivre. A potato pave is a more refined version of scallop potatoes. Devine it was??
A fan of the Mediterranean Branzino. Always so good wether served whole or fillet. At Townsend it was grilled served over a basil couscous salad, preserved lemon aioli and a pomegranate reduction. Simple and great tasting flavor.
A Creme Brûlée that was very well received. Orange supremes and raspberry jam.
Trying for the first time a Pavlova. This dessert was named after the famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. It is like a meringue cake made of whipped egg whites and sugar. Light and crisp on the outside and a little chewy. The middle like an airy marshmallow. Their version was beautifully presented.
The next time in Philly I hope you get to try it. You will not be disappointed.
