Off The Hook, Restaurant, Bethany Beach, Casual, Lunch, Happy Hour, Dinner, Delaware Beaches

Off The Hook is their first restaurant in Bethany Beach located at 769 Garfield Pkwy. It is about a mile or so west of Bethany. It is very popular. No reservations. 302-829-1424. It has a nice bar and you can eat there too. Let’s see what else? It is one that I frequent with my girlfriends from Ocean City. We can drive half way. Plus, I have never had a bad meal there.

Off The Hook opens at 11:30. Lunch menu, bar menu, dinner menu and cocktail and wine menu. 😃

Specials almost every day. Please have in mind that specials are dine in only. Half priced entrees start at 3 p.m. until closing, available Monday through Thursday. Pretty good deal.

I think you have all the info. So let me tell you what we had. First we got there at 6 and we did have to wait. That’s a popular hour. Maybe a little later may be best.

Drinks and conversation…catching up, right? I got a Prosecco Rose.

In a mood for Salmon I went with their Roasted Salmon. It had drunken cherries, spinach, parsnip whip, cherry gastrique and crispy parsnip.

I almost forgot. Please try the bread. It was delicious 👏👏

Look at this other dish. Cioppino. This is actually an Italian/American dish that originated in San Francisco. A fish stew. Shrimp, scallops, mussels, fin fish, sweet sausage, a beautiful and savory tomato broth. Topped with a crostini. Perfect.

Guess what? That was our meal.

I hope you have a gorgeous weekend. The beach towns are crowded.

Dalmata Italiano, Restaurant, Rehoboth Beach, Italian Food, Pizza, Homemade Desserts, Bar, Delaware Beaches

By the looks of today, the weather is not that great. Last Sunday it was magical. Warm breezes and a beautiful boardwalk for walking and working up an appetite.
Where to go? I had a craving for pizza. And walking destination took me to Dalmata. It is located at 28 Wilmington Ave. 302-227-8512.

Dalmata opens Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

I have fallen in love with Dalmata for different reasons. I use it as my neighborhood restaurant. If I don’t feel like cooking or have a craving for everything Italian or pizza, I know I will feel very comfortable there eating by myself. Not that eating by myself has ever stopped me from going to a restaurant😁

I started with a Rose Prosecco. I told you I had walked the Boardwalk.

Starting with a Burrata Caprese Salad. The Burrata had a buttery and milky flavor, so delicate. A sprinkle of balsamic pearls gives a tangy flavor.

On this Sunday evening I would try the pizza called Carbonara “Sorta”. It had a vodka sauce, mozzarella, fontina, buttered spicy peas, prosciutto and whipped ricotta. I had never tried peas on my pizza but, actually, they were a very nice addition.


What a surprise arriving to my table. They were called Crack Donuts. Crispy on the outside, with warm ricotta cheese and one had chocolate ricotta. A chocolate sauce for dipping. Greg, these are keepers👏👏

All in all the service was excellent, the conversation was fun.

TGIF have a great weekend.

Sirocco, Restaurant, Mediterranean, Rehoboth Beach, Breakfast, Happy Hour, Dinner, Bar, Delaware Beaches

One of the newest restaurants in Downtown Rehoboth Beach is Sirocco. 302-727-0317. It is inside the new Coast Rehoboth Beach Hotel on Rehoboth Ave.

They are opening Monday – Friday for breakfast from 7-11 a.m. On Saturday and Sunday breakfast is 7-10 a.m.

Dinner is from Wednesday through Sunday starting at 5. That could maybe change as the season gets underway.

Happy Hour is 5-7 at the bar only.

The Bar stays open Wednesday – Sunday from 5-10.

This is a Mediterranean restaurant. The simple; uncomplicated food of the region that is so healthy.

I have been several times to Sirocco. I like it because the food has been very good, the service attentive, a modern corner in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. Love the background music too.

Three for dinner, please. We did have a reservation.

A special Cream of Crab Soup which my friend said it was delicious. Very creamy with lots of crab meat.

Another soup ordered was the Lemon Chicken & Orzo. Herb roasted chicken, bone broth, farm veggies, stewed white beans and orzo. Orzo is a pasta shaped like a large grain of rice. Benedette thought it was very nice.

I really love scallops and Jeff decided to order them. Look how big they were. Served with wild mushroom risotto, charred pepper, asparagus, Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh basil oil.

I like my lamb chops medium rare but Benedette likes them medium. They looked so good and I have had them before and they really are. They served them with a warm couscous salad, grilled artichokes, roasted eggplant and mint gremolata. FYI Gremolata is a green sauce made of chopped parsley, lemon zest and garlic.

My dish was one that I pretty much order it any restaurant that may serve it whole. The beautiful Branzino. It is the European seabass. Sirocco does a great job with a stunning presentation.

Whole roasted, grilled lemon and fresh rosemary and thyme and roasted tomato salad. You had to be there to really appreciate it.

I eat a whole fish like a cat. I get right into it, just like I pick my crabs. So much fun. I do get compliments. I am not kidding.?

So while we still have free parking and the masses are not here, check out the Downtown restaurants and Sirocco is a good one to start with.

Have a beautiful spring day.

The Surfing Crab, Restaurant, Crab House, Lewes, Delaware, Delaware Beaches

Haha starting with bread pudding first. Some of us can afford to do that and others have to exercise restraint.

We were at The Surfing Crab located at 16723 Coastal Highway. In Lewes, Delaware. Going north past the town on Lewes.

A craving for crabs is what we had. We called their telephone 302-644-4448 to reserve extra large crabs to be eaten there. You can also have take out. Surfing Crab has a full menu with really good food, as well.

Do you like hush puppies? An order of hush puppies , of course. Sophia made a sauce with Ketchup and Vinegar too.


Then those enormous crabs made an entrance. They were so sweet. We started picking, talking, a few beers and only took home 3.

I dipped the meat in vinegar. Others like butter too but vinegar was it last night.

Picking crab for me is relaxing and very social.

These are my first crabs of 2024. At The Surfing Crab the atmosphere is casual and fun. Great service by the way.

Check them on Social Media….At the moment they close Monday and Tuesday.???

Matt’s Fish Camp, Restaurant, Lewes, Delaware, SoDel Concepts, Delaware Beaches

Matt’s Fish Camp in Lewes located at 34401 Tenley Ct. served a great lunch on a rainy day. Weather gets cold we go for comfort food.

Check this out ?

They usually have Deviled Eggs on the menu but on this day they raised the bar up a notch. These ones had this morsel of well seasoned chicken on top. If you see them, please get them. I saw these two ladies having them with a Rose and it looked so sophisticated. Yes indeed?

Another best find was the Sticky Icky Wings. We ordered them well done.You don’t want where the skin is not crispy. Off the chart. The trick…Well Done; Crispy.

Matt’s Fish Camp is very generous with the food they offer. A lot can be shared, or take the leftovers.

The Chicken Pot Pie looked delicious. Basically, a traditional homemade pot pie filling with a Cheddar Biscuit. Just imagine, a rainy Saturday called for this yummy dish.

A Lobster Cobb Salad with Green Goddess Dressing??

Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Gravy, pretty much always on the menu. Large enough to share. There was a beautiful biscuit and someone ordered mashed potatoes, as well.

I forgot to take a photo of my Cobb Salad but I can tell you it was very good.

We enjoyed our outing celebrating Sophia’s participation in the Mary Poppins play at Cape Henlopen High School. ❤️

Finally the sun has come out. Have a great day.?
