Full of atmosphere, Eden is located in the trendy street called Baltimore Ave., in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. 23 Baltimore Ave. to be exact, in the beach block.
Last night this was a destination for us. How surprising to see Rehoboth Beach full of cars. It is a balmy weekend in Southern Delaware, and the beaches, tax free shopping and a foodie paradise are part of the charm of what many call the Nation’s Summer Capital. The town is fully decorated for the Christmas Holiday. It usually is but this year both, commercial businesses and homes have gone all out. Saying goodbye to 2020 in a big way.
Eden has Happy Hour every day, and specials too. Wine diners and professional service is always a plus. Their tel. is 302-227-3330 and their website is http://www.edenrestaurant.com.
Love their Grilled Caesar Salad with a sun dried tomato/olive tapenade and pecorino romano. I always order it and it never disappoints.
I don’t think you see Antelope in the many restaurants in Rehoboth Beach. It is always on their menu. Last night was my choice. I chose not to get the sweet potato mashers so only bacon roasted Brussels sprouts for me. The antelope tenderloin was cooked medium rare and topped with a berry/red wine reduction. Full of flavor and tender.
This meat comes Broken Arrow Ranch in Texas. They are milder tasting compared to the ones farther north. I found out that Texas antelope is more tender because they do not confront the same predatory threats on the ranch.
The daily fish special was the Rockfish on top of pasta and veggies. Well received. This is a local fish and it is also very mild. Looks amazing, don’t you think?
No dessert because watching what you eat at this time of the year is a must.
Have a beautiful weekend.

Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale. elsa schiaparelli
Meeting friends on trendy Baltimore Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach….we were trying to grab dinner at favorite restaurants of mine before the crowds arrive and the meters come into effect.
Rehoboth Beach is known for its culinary excellence. The chefs are really outdoing themselves. I think when visitors arrive this week-end they will see that there are other restaurants now manking an appearance in town. But I never forget the true and tried restaurants. Over the years I keep coming back to those establishments that give me good service, let me chat with friends without intrusion, and serve food cooked with the best ingredients.
I always have loved Eden. When someone asks me where to go in Rehoboth for a special dinner Eden always comes to mind. The staff is so professional. And don’t get me wrong I love plenty of other restaurants in Southern Delaware, but Eden is on the top of my list.
The website is informative. Eden offers catering. On Fridays Eden Classic Dishes are half price. And don’t forget that the bar is always open.
Meeting Madelon and Cindi for dinner we arrived early, which was the perfect opportunity for photos. The dining room is open and the booths are perfect for an intimate dinner.
A few glasses of Trefethen Chardonnay. A Grilled Caesar with sun dried tomato/olive tapenade, pecorino romano and the classing dressing.
Tuna Tartare that melted in your mouth.
One Artic Char, perfectly seasoned.
And two of us had the Venison, which looked as good as it tasted.
At Eden there are always various desserts…..but the Chef’s Daily Whim was a tribute to the Almond Joy…..decadent and totally sinful!!
I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Week-End. Don’t be shy, try Rehoboth Beach Bests Restaurants….you will not be disappointed!!

“Oh starry night, with moonlit sky, take me away, and tell me why….” It was a true beautiful night in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and while many were celebrating St. Patty’s Day, we were enjoying some sweet ending at Eden. Arriving fashionably late; just for dessert….plenty of photo ops.
Eden is located at 23 Baltimore Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-227-3330. Website? http://www.edenrestaurant.com. This restaurant is one of my favorites in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. The food is excellent, the service is impeccable and the ambiance is warm and comfortable.
Just for a sweet ending and a bit of conversation with friends we ordered the Dark Chocolate Truffle Cake with Caramel Ice Cream and Caramel Krispies….well received.
The Pastel Nata….if you like almonds you will love this dessert. Almond and orange scented egg custart tart.
A warm Pineapple Coconut Cake with Coconut Ice Cream and Toasted Coconut….Delish!!
Try one of the “booths”….so much fun.
Eden has plenty of events on the schedule, including the monthly Wine Dinners. The next one will be Friday, April 24th. Check http://www.edenrestaurant.com. They should be putting the menu up on their website, probably by Saturday.
A shout to our server, Cullen, who took care of us in such a friendly and professional manner.
Have a good one!!

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.

Not such luck. My friends thought that Sunday was a day of rest. No pictures. Just let me start my appetizer and dinner without the warning: Don’t Touch Anything Yet.
That’s why they are such good friends, including my husband. Our choice for Sunday was Eden. Located right on trendy Baltimore Ave. Address: 23 Baltimore Ave., Tel. 302-227-3330. Website? www.edenrestaurant.com.
By the way we were celebrating a birthday, as well.
This is my second time at Eden on this 2011 Season. The beaches are getting crowded and parking can be testing, at times. All that is worth it. Eden is top notch.
In case you like to sit outdoors, there are also a few tables available in front of the restaurant.
As you enter Eden, the bar is on the left. Then, individual tables are available, as well as booths. The restaurant is very well appointed and if the atmosphere they were trying to achieve was romantic, classic with an elegant understatement, then they definitely attained it.
Evan introduced himself and I decided to go with his suggestions. I will have to tell you that we complimented him on how well he took care of us. This is his first season at Eden. If you make a reservation ask for him. He was really great.
Appetizers: We decided on the Main Lobster/Local Crab Tower. It had a mango salsa and avocado puree. It was a signature appetizer and the presentation and combination of the lobster, avocado and mango was very good.
My husband ordered the Citrus Cured Ahi Tuna. It had pickled fennel and carrots and a caper pesto. He said it was delicious.
I love a grilled Caesar and Eden has a very good one with sun dried tomato/olive tapenade, pecorino romano, classic dressing. I cut it all up and mixed it. Really really good. Great flavor.
My husband requested for his dinner the Herb Roasted Filet Mignon. It had a celeriac/potato, gruyere gratin, asparagus, sun choke puree, vidalia onion compote, blueberry/red wine/chocolate reduction. Tender, and rare like he likes it. Could not stop raving about the gratin made out of celeriac, potato and gruyere.
The rest of us ordered the same thing. Evan told us that if we ordered the tuna we would be in for the best tasting tuna we would ever eat. Boy, was he right!! It was a wasabi/sesame crusted #1 Ahi Tuna. It came with sticky rice, seaweed salad, wasabi and soy sauce. Black and sesame seeds encrusted the tuna. You had to eat it rare, of course. It melted in your mouth. That’s all I need to say.
Two sweet endings!! It was a birthday celebration.
Nothing like a Classic Creme Brulee with housemade biscotti. Traditional, that’s how I like it; forget those other fancy flavors. Lightly caramelized, as well. The biscotti? Perfectly baked; a welcomed softness.
The featured dessert was the Panna Cotta. Pretty much a custard, as well. It’s origin? Northern Italian. Also eaten all over the country. It is made by simmering together cream, milk and sugar, then mixing gelatin in and letting it cool until set. Ours was topped with fresh fruit and cream.
Eden opens at 6 for dinner and reservations are recommended.
I love Sunday evenings….never did when I was younger…I like them even better when I share the meal with friends; light conversation and lots of laughs. Pretty nice, isn’t it? How lucky!
