Usually, after a holiday week-end, there is a subdued mood at our Beaches….we have to take a breather. Festivals and events will be ongoing in Rehoboth Beach pretty soon. The town has made sure our visitors have a great time; a trip back on the Second Season is a must.

Even though I started this post saying that it is usually more subdued in Rehoboth Beach after a holiday week-end, well, I just came from having dinner in Rehoboth and almost could not get a parking space….popular place.
I went to Confucius, which is located at 57 Wilmington Ave., in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. Danielle and Shawn, the owners, were there, as usual. Great couple; they make you feel very comfortable. This is one of those restaurants that is very aware of customers with food allergies. Will go out of their way, and will substitute or make you something special. They are open year-round and it is a favorite with Rehoboth Beach residents. Website? http://www.confuciusrehobothbeach.com.
I had tonight a dish that I have had several times. Always delicious…The whole black seabass, fried till crispy, topped with honey vinegar sauce…a bit spicy too.
Have a great week-end…relax, you are at the Beach!!
