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.

Bodhi Kitchen, Asian Inspired, Restaurant, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

“I don’t know but I am getting excited about the Shrimp Toast”, my friend B said? Let’s have it.

And here is a close up. So glad we ordered them. As you can see this appetizer was perfect for sharing. It was very good.

From the Dim Sum our next choice became our favorite. Our server said it is a favorite of customers, as well.Dim Sum are “small dishes; steamed, baked, or fried”. Each dish contains about 3 to 4 pieces. Ours had 6. Another shareable dish.

This was called Soup Dumpling.

The soup is inside. You can take the spoon, pick it up, dip in the broth an then whole into your mouth. Or you can take a bite an it will not run down your chin. It is a little thicker. It is the most delicious and not to be missed.

Bodhi Kitchen is located at 10 N 1st St., in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. Reservations would be best. There is brunch on Sunday from 11-2. Dinner 5-9. Monday through Thursday 5-9. Friday and Saturday 5-10. Happy Hour every day 5-6.

My Braised Cumin Lamb Ho Fun was delicious. soy braised shoulder, wheat noodles, chili oil, Chinese spinach, peanuts and bok choy. All the entrees are perfect for sharing. Generous portions.

A stir fried noodle dish. It is also part of the country cuisine of Thailand. The Pad Thai with our choice of shrimp at Bodhi I could certainly have again. Rice noodles, tamarind, peanuts, bird’s eye chili, bean sprouts, cilantro and lime. Those little red peppers are spicy.

Our reservation was early but it took no time to get the restaurant to get filled up.

I am glad we have more choices in Rehoboth Beach because……..

North Bethany Eats! Matt’s Fish Camp, Restaurant, Lunch, Dinner, Happy Hour, Carry Out, Bethany Beach, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware, Matt’s Fish Camp is a Supporter of Operation Seas The Day September 2nd – 7th, 2014

dscn0320

In the 1930’s the ritual of anglers dangling their reels over rivers, waiting for a bite, gave birth to fish camps along the Southern U.S.  Fish camps have become local favorites and hidden jewels, found, at times off the beaten path; no frills establishments serving fresh catch.

dscn0304

With that in mind, I am sure, Matt’s Fish Camp opened its doors in 2011 in North Bethany Beach, on Coastal Highway.  If you are driving south from Dewey Beach, Matt’s Fish Camp is the only eatery right on the highway, oceanside, until you arrive closer to Bethany Beach.  From Rehoboth to Bethany….12 miles more or less.  Tel. 302-539-2267  Website?  http://www.mattsfishcamp.com.

dscn0317dscn0315

Not really off the beaten path like the first fish camps, Matt’s Fish Camp can easily be spotten from Coastal Highway or Rt. 1.  This restaurant is part of Matt Haley Companies…with several sister restaurants at the Delaware Beaches.  No reservations, the restaurant opens at 11:30 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. every day.  Wine and beer are served at Matt’s Fish Camp.

The community where Matt’s Fish Camp is located is called Tower Shores.  It is one of the original communities right on the beach, adjacent to the State Park beaches, the Indian River Marina, and the Indian River Inlet.

dscn0306

The restaurant is casual, come as you are or get dressed up….really that’s how comfortable it is.  You can sit at the bar by the open kitchen, or by the window. Booths are available and a large center table for large parties.  Maybe even call the restaurant for carry out, because all you have to do is drive up, park and pick it up on the side.  Perfect if you are spending a day at the beach.

dscn0316

I stopped late in the day, driving from Bethany to Rehoboth, when I got a little hungry.  Something light is what I wanted.

What I did was to order a tea, a garden salad, with a side order of Lobster Salad, and….since my eyes were bigger than my hunger….I also added Lobster Deviled Eggs.

dscn0312

dscn0311

dscn0308

I had my own salad bar going on….a clean plate was ordered and this is what it looked like.  To tell you the truth I don’t eat too many eggs. But, deviled eggs, I do like.  These were traditionally made.  At first I was going to order the Lobster Roll without the roll when Reed, my server, pointed out that I could have an add on, which was just a Lobster Salad.  The garden salad was also traditionally made, and very fresh.

dscn0313

Just a perfect lunch at the beach!!

dscn0392

Matt’s Fish Camp is a supporter of Operation Seas The Day.  This is an annual warrior family beach week event held in Bethany Beach the week of September 2nd to the 7th for our Veterans who are recovering from injuries sustained while serving our country, and their immediate families.  A week of rest and relaxation.

The families will be staying in homes donated by local homeowners.  Plans underway for organized events, including a kickoff welcome reception, a beach bonfire/cookout, a concert at Freeman State, and a farewell brunch.

Additionally, Bethany Beach businesses and area residents have offered a “menu” of options and activities available, free of charge, throughout this week.

If you would like to learn more, please visit http://www.operationseastheday.org

Eating…in Delray Beach, 50 Ocean, Restaurant, Review, Village by The Sea, Palm Beach County, South Florida

 

 dscn2729

 

Ten years ago when I first laid eyes on Delray Beach, and not knowing anything else about this coastal town, what attracted me the most was the beach.  Unobstructed views.  You could, and still can, sit on the beach without having to move your chair here or there because buildings were shading the beach, you could also look up and down the coast.

IMG_0670

Atlantic Avenue is full of restaurants, but right by the beach, on A1A, are the beach restaurants; cross A1A and you find yourself at the beach or at one of the beach eateries. 

Some of those restaurants have been there for so many years.  Take Boston’s on The Beach, for example.  Anyone that has been in Delray has stopped there for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or to have cocktails and listen to music.

Up above Boston’s, for years The Upperdeck was another eatery.  I remember that they had great hot dogs.  Well, surprise, surprise, The Upperdeck does not exist anymore.  Instead, an extreme makeover has lead to the new restaurant called 50 Ocean, a sister restaurant to Boston’s.  The menus are different and so is the atmosphere. 

50 Ocean is located at 40 South Ocean Blvd., A1A, Delray Beach, FL 33483.  Tel. 561-278-3364.  Website?  http://www.50ocean.com.  

When my friend, Anita, who lives in Delray, suggested we went there I was ready because I did not even know this had all taken place.  There was a Tiki area being built.  Not sure if they have finished it yet as of this writing.  Will have to check that out later.

When we arrived it was crowded.  I was not sure if I was going to be able to take pictures.  But once everyone left there was enough room to take a few.

I think the makeover will please a lot of the visitors.  There is a little bit for everyone.  First of all, as you come in there is a corner just to have some drinks. 

dscn2726

On the other side there are tables right against floor to ceiling windows; those tables are the most sought after.  Because this is the view you will get.

dscn2712

On the other side, they were able to keep outdoor dining for all of us that love to eat al fresco.

dscn2721

The high top tables for drinks or dining.

There is a private room for business or pleasure, you know, parties, gatherings, and meetings.

dscn2728

But, we chose the Bar.  It was a beautiful backlit quartz bar.  You could peak at the ocean, from this viewpoint, as well.

dscn2716

Our bartender was Sue Anne.  She was great and knew the menu well.

Anita knew exactly what she wanted.  She was hooked on their Fish Tacos.  Flour tortillas, tempura local fish, crispy slaw, jack cheese, tomato salsa, and chipotle cream.  She has had them several times and still thought they were her favorites.

dscn2717

I really did not know what to eat.  But, when I saw the Turkey Avocado Club, I knew that would be it.  Plus, it was our one of our bartender’s favorite.  Anita was surprised.  You mean a club? Yeap.

dscn2719

It hit the spot.  Thin sliced oven reasted turkey breast, lettuce, tomato, applewood bacon, cheddar cheese, avocado, roasted garlic aioli on wheat berry bread. 

But don’t worry, there are things that I checked out that would be great to try like the conch ceviche, the crispy lobster and crab cake.  Salads like the lobster trap, the warm gorgonzola steak salad.  Linguini Pomodoro.  Desserts like creme brulee tastings, chocolate Nutella mouse bombe, or a banana taste tartin.

Dinner menu had very mouthwatering offerings, as well.  All menus are on their website.

50 Ocean opens for Lunch every day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.  A happy hour Mondays through Fridays from 4 to 7 p.m. and Dinner is served every day from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.  There is also a Saturday and Sunday Brunch.

I loved going during the day to see the ocean views.  I am sure in the evenings, a different ambiance would, definitely, take place.  It would be amazing during a full moon.

Try it and let me know how you like it….talk to you later.

Catch 54, Fenwick Island, Delaware Beaches, Restaurant, Review, Amazing Views, an Excellent Dinner, What Else Would You Ask For?

 

It was almost 10 p.m. when we left Catch 54 in Fenwick Island.  I could not believe that it was still 73 degrees.  It was a very hot day but as the sun slowly started setting the evening was just right.  I wanted to see if the food at Catch 54 was as good as its view.  So, road trip to Fenwick.  Just about 25 minutes away from Rehoboth Beach.

It was also the perfect evening because everyone that was at the beaches this week-end had gone home, therefore, the restaurants were going to be more settled on a night like tonight.  I was right.  It was quieter and just so nice.

img_3983

Catch 54 is located at 54 Madison Ave., Fenwick Island, DE 19944.  It is right on Rt. 54, where Shark’s Cove Marina is also located.  If you head west from Rt. 1, in Fenwick Island, then you will go over the bridge and you will see the restaurant to your right.  Make the next right and you are just about there.  Website? http://www.catch54.com.  Tel. 302-436-8600.  You will find Catch 54 on Facebook.

Catch 54 is part of the family of restaurants owned by SoDel Concepts;  yes, Matt Haley is the owner.

The restaurant has plenty of parking.  They open Mondays through Thursdays at 5:00 p.m.  Fridays through Sundays at 11:30 a.m. for lunch and at 4:00 p.m. for dinner.  Every day there is happy hour from 3 until 6 p.m.  Catch 54 does not take reservations.

This restaurant is one of the few, at the Delaware Beaches, if not the only one with views anywhere you sit.  On the first floor you will find a Tiki Bar.  You can eat there, as well.  The bar completely opens up so that you can really enjoy the outdoors.

img_4316

img_4317

img_3992

Upstairs, which is the main dining area, there is a good size bar.  The dining tables are set up so that you can also experience the views throughout.   These marshes and inland bays are just spectacular.  And, at sunset, they are priceless.

img_4336

img_4321

img_4332

img_4323

I got a little worried when I noticed that my camera was flashing.  That meant I had a low battery.  I decided not to take a picture of the steamed clams.  They had herbs, a Tabasco Butter Broth and Lemon.  They were delicious.  My Caesar Salad was very good, as well.  I ordered it because it had the white anchovies.  I see those on a menu and I die for them. Many years ago I first had them in Spain and totally fell in love with them.

As you know, we always have to check if an entree contains gluten.  Caitlyn was our server and immediately she told us which items on the menu were gluten free.  It was good to see that the restaurant was catering to those with food allergies and that it had trained their staff so well.

Caitlyn was knowledgeable, friendly, and discreet.  She let us chat but was also very attentive.

We ordered the Hot Bacon Crab Dip, with Jack Cheese and homemade Kettle Chips.  The chips were so crispy and warm.  The combination of the bacon, crab and cheese was perfect. Not too salty either, which was nice.  This dish is enough for 4 people.

img_4328

Then, my husband ordered the Seared Day Boat Scallops with mashed potatoes, creamed corn and tomato chili oil.  The picture does not lie.  It was that good. I took a bite.

img_4329

My entree was a Fisherman Stew.  Fresh caught fin fish, scallops, shrimp, clams, mussels, celery, garlic butter, herbs, tomato broth, Old Bay, Lemon and toast.  The first thing I wanted to do was dip the bread in the broth.  But, I had the willpower and did not do it.  Instead, I ordered a spoon and ate all the seafood with plenty of  “gusto”.

img_4333 

I have not visited all the SoDel Concept restaurants, but the ones that I have had the chance to experience have been very generous with the portions.

But wait.  I am not finished.  It is a bit challenging to find a gluten free dessert on a menu.  Yes, you can get fruit but, you know…give me a dessert, please.  I noticed that there was a flourless cake.  Well, say no more.  We ordered it.  I had seen recipes for that type of cake but I have never made one.  It was a true chocolate taste.  If you like chocolate, believe me, this is your dessert. The berry swirl and the whipped cream were the perfect companions.

img_4335

The Sous-Chef, Ronnie, came to the table to see how we had liked everything.  We thanked him for the food and for being on top of the gluten allergy.  He said that they try to accommodate everyone.  We enjoyed our dinner so much.  It was such a peaceful atmosphere with a hint of music on the background.

 

Talk to you later….the merging of the views and the food to give you such delight…

BayWood Greens, 18 Hole Championship Golf Course, Public, Clubhouse, Restaurant, Long Neck, Delaware

 

I am probably the only person that has made a friendship through the Census.  Yes, her name is Annie Hall.  I thought it was a joke when she first called.  She asked me for lunch the other day and we decided to meet at BayWood.  I had never been there; only had seen it from Rt. 24.  Always amazed at the flowers; could not imagine how beautiful it was going to be once I was inside the complex.  BayWood Greens is not only an 18 Hole Championship Golf Course; it is also a community.

img_4112

BayWood Greens is located on Rt. 24, Long Neck, Delaware.  It is about 15 to 20 minutes from Rehoboth Beach.  Best way to get there is:  From Rt. 1 take Rt. 24 West.  It will be 7 miles to the BayWood entrance on the left.  The website is www.baywoodgreens.com. Tel. 302-947-9225, 302-947-9800.

As you are driving in, there are gardens everywhere.  Constant care and attention to detail is what immediately came to my mind. 

img_4159

At a distance I could see the Clubhouse.  Again, flowers, fountains, and what a beautiful day it was. 

img_4114

There is plenty of parking and just a short flight of stairs in order to access the main entrance.

img_4154

img_4120

Again, the entrance was full of flowers.

img_4123

img_4124

img_4155

As I came into the reception area I could see that the Clubhouse had a very sophisticated air about it.  I asked the hostess if we could sit outside.  If you want to sit inside, there are plenty of choices.  But, on a day like last Friday, who wants to sit inside?

img_4127

The Verandah was the perfect choice.  A wonderful breeze and comfortable tables.

img_4138

From the Verandah you had an expansive view. I can see why so many brides choose this spot.  It is called the Wedding Garden.  The wedding photos must be spectacular.

img_4146

 

img_4143

The Clubhouse is open for lunch and dinner.  Brunch on Sundays, as well. There is plenty to choose from.  Soups, Salads, Sandwiches, Dinner Appetizers, Entrees and Desserts.

It was so comfortable and relaxing that I felt I was on vacation somewhere else.

I chose the Baywood Bleu Cheese Salad.  This is their signature salad with mixed greens, gorgonzola bleu cheese, roasted red peppers, red onion, artichokes, dried cranberries, cucumbers, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and Genoa salami tossed in a honey Dijon dressing.  You would think that it would be enough but I also had grilled chicken on top.  It was the perfect salad.  The dressing was delicious and the combination of all those vegetables, dried cranberries and salami gave it that sweet and salty taste.  Very very good.

img_4140

Annie Hall had the Steakhouse Salad which was grilled flank steak served over mixed greens with corn, roasted plum tomatoes, and avocado tossed in a BBQ Ranch dressing and topped with fried shallots.  She decided that instead of the Ranch dressing whe would order bleu cheese and said that it was delicious.

img_4139

We talked and talked.  Our server as so nice and came to check on us from time to time.  We were happy,though.

After our lunch Annie had to leave and I just strolled around the grounds. 

img_4145

img_4142

img_4157

There is also a Golf Pro Shop which is separate from the Clubhouse.

img_4152

BayWood is busy.  They have a Summer Concert Series.  The first concert will be Monday, May 30th from 5:30 until 8:00 p.m.  It will be held in the Wedding Garden. The concerts are open to the public and they are free.   There will be a Memorial Day BBQ.  You know, hamburgers and hotdogs.  The entertainers will be The Cruzers.  For more info. and reservations, call 302-947-9225.

img_4141

The following sounded like fun.  BayWood Clubhouse Restaurant has a Birthday Promotion.  They will give you a discount equivalent to your age!! If you are turning 42, please go and get your 42% off your entree.  If you can’t make it on your birthdate then celebrate your special day anytime during the calendar week of your birthday.  Sunday to Saturday.

Then there is the Anniversary Promotion.  Discount equal to the years of marriage.  And if you have been married 10 years or less, they will still give you a 10% discount.  Just remember that the discount applies to entree portion of total check.  And, promotions are not available with other offers or discounts.

Please visit the website above mentioned because you can find a whole schedule on what is going on at BayWoods.

img_4156

I recommend it to anyone that wants to have a good and relaxing lunch.  The setting is gorgeous.  I cannot wait to try dinner and feel the atmosphere at that time of the evening.

img_4150

Have a good one!!  Talk to you later…

Cake Bar, Bakery, Restaurant, Bar, Review, Historic Lewes, Delaware, Come for Dessert, Stay for Dinner, Delaware Beaches

 

img_3403

The Historic town of Lewes is getting ready for a celebration on Friday, 4/29.  It is called Fun Friday.  Lewes is celebrating the Royal Wedding.  I wrote a post on the different events throughout this special day.  You can read it by clicking on the month of March, 2011 on the left hand side of this website and then scrolling down to the 9th.

 

“Friends are the flowers that never fade.”  With that in mind I went to meet Jody on Tuesday in Lewes, Delaware.  I met Jody not long ago; an instant friendship.  She is funny, likes to talk and likes to try new restaurants, as well. 

About 3 weeks ago a new restaurant opened in Lewes.  When I first heard about it I thought it was only a bakery.  This new eatery is the perfect combination; a bakery, a restaurant, and a bar.  Sounds like heaven.  Their motto?  “Come for Dessert, Stay for Dinner”.

Cake Bar is located at 115 Second St., Lewes, Delaware 19958.  Tel. 302-645-CAKE (2253).  Website?  www.sugarbakerscakes.com.

img_3400

What a difference!! As you come into Cake Bar from the Second St. entrance I was pleasantly surprised.  The bakery is at the front.  Nothing like looking at beautiful baked goods in a warm atmosphere to wet your appetite. 

 img_3373

img_3379

img_3375

Jody and I met Jamie, the owner.  Friendly; like you know her.  She told us that she and her family had been coming to Lewes for a long time and that they owned a home in town.  They were looking for a place to start a business and when the opportunity came they grabbed it.  Right in the center of town.

I like what they have done with the dinning areas.  It was comfortable and a good choice of colors.

img_3386

img_3396

But that is not all, Jamie and her family own a very successful business in Catonsville, Maryland.  It is called Sugar Bakers Cakes at 752 Frederick Rd., Baltimore, MD 21228.  The website is www.sugarbakerscake.com. The tel. is 410788-9478. 

In business since 1996, this company has made a name for themselves.  Please check their website to see the most amazing cakes for all occasions.  The reviews?  Awesome!!  Appearing in The Today Show and Whose Wedding is It Anyway?.

img_3372

Their cakes are delivered to Baltimore, Washington, and to the Maryland and Delaware resorts. 

img_3371

You can contact them either in Baltimore or in Lewes for a complimentary wedding cake consultation.  June is around the corner, so I hope brides to be are reading this post. 

One thing that caught my attention was that you can call Cake Bar and order dessert trays; 10 person minimum for all trays.  Just cookies, or a selections of brownies, blondies, and mini desserts.  Served in easy to handle, bite size pieces.

The Fancy Feast includes mini eclairs, tiny mousse cups, fresh fruit tarts and dipped strawberries, among others.

You can also order miniature desserts by the dozen.  Just give them a call if you would like more info. Remember their number is 302-645-CAKE.

Jody and I checked the menu.  Cheeses, Maryland Crab Dip, fries with garlic truffle aioli, wings, mac and cheese, shrimp cocktail, steamed shrimp, steamed mussels are a few of their starters.  Then the soups and salads followed.  Sandwiches like Maryland Crabcake, the Delaware Dip, the BLT and G(uacamole) which had thick smoked bacon, roasted and sandwiched with arugula, juice tomato, and creamy guacamole.  The Hot Dog Muffaletta is their take on New Orleans; a big, grilled all-beef dog in a baguette roll, packed with pepperoncini’s, red onion, roasted red pepper, provolone cheese and tapenade. 

Some of their entres were shrimp and grits, day boat scallops, fresh daily fish, flat iron steak, meatloaf and mash.  The Delmarva Chicken is a Delaware chicken brined in traditional local marinade of lemon, buttermilk, garlic, olive oil and seasonal herbs and then roasted.  Choice of garlic mash or fresh veggies.

Jody and I decided on a salad.  You know how it is, summer is around the corner, afterall.

Jody chose the CakeBAR Salad which had lettuce, cucumber, tomato, sweet red pepper, red onion, olives, artichoke hearts, and goat cheese Feta, with red wine vinaigrette.  She topped it with grilled shrimp.  It was light and she very much enjoyed it.

img_3393

I chose the Wedding Salad which had baby greens topped with seasonal fresh berries, toasted pine nuts, crumbled goat cheese and house-smoked duck confit.  Served with a honey citrus vinaigrette.  I loved it.  I think the combinations of all the fruit, the smoked duck and the dressing were a perfect marriage of flavors.

img_3392

No dessert for us.  Can you imagine?  All homemade and we had the willpower to say no.  Our waiter, which by the way was very good, named them all.  We still resisted.

I wish Jamie and her family the best.  Stop by and say hello. 

Note:  Fun Facts from Sugar Bakers Cakes:  They use 75,000 eggs per year and 1.8 million chocolate chips per year.  Yikes!!

 Please remember that Cake Bar has happy hour.

Have a great day!!…talk to you soon…

Stingray, Sushi Bar, Asian Latino Grill, Restaurant, Review, Take Out, Sushi Bar on Wheels, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches

 

IMG_2890

Even though the building is painted in different colors and the interior has been redecorated over the years, the memories came back once I stepped into Stingray.  This restaurant, located at 59 Lake Avenue in Rehoboth Beach was years ago called Fran O’Brien’s.  It was an institution; anyone visiting the beaches; this was the “it” place for “apres beach”, drinks, food, and dancing.  It really was the place to see and being seen.

But enough of that since I am really dating myself.  That’s exactly what I told Laura, our server.  Laura was friendly and really knew the menu well. 

Stingray is one of the favorite sushi restaurants of a couple of friends.  And guess what?  They were there.  Joe and Carla; they are sushi connoisseurs.  Carla told me that I needed to order the Man Eater and the Malay Roll.  Laura agreed, as well.

It was the perfect evening to visit Stingray.  This will be their fourth season in Rehoboth Beach.  The tel. is 302-227-6476.  Website?  www.stingrayrestaurant.com.  

IMG_2891

Being that it was Sunday, it was quiet.  The music was playing and the restaurant exuded a club-like atmosphere. 

 IMG_2902

A full bar, a lounge area where dinner can be enjoyed with reservations.

IMG_2903

IMG_2900

The sushi bar took center stage.  Take Out is available until 1:00 a.m.

IMG_2901

Other rooms were outfitted with tables and some with booths.

IMG_2904

An enclosed glass porch was available and looked like it would be very nice to spend an evening having dinner on that porch while checking out the comings and goings on Lake Avenue.

IMG_2914

I ordered the Man Eater and the Malay Roll.

The Man Eater had fried fresh salmon with jalapeno and spicy mayo, sprinkled with chopped fresh cilantro.  It was delicious and the combination of the salmon with jalapeno gave it a good kick.  Not overly so, but just a hint.  Finished with the cilantro was perfect.

IMG_2919

The Malay Roll had crispy Chilean sea bass, asparagus, and spicy sauce inside, sesame seeds outside.  Very tasty, as well. 

Then I decided to order live scallops sashimi.  The presentation was very nice.  The only thing is that I like the scallops to be sliced thin with lime.  I thought that with the cucumber cup you could not really taste the scallops since they were chopped. 

IMG_2921

Then I asked Laura if she could ask the sushi chef to prepare an order just like I wanted.  There was a marked difference and eating the scallops with the lime, well, was the best.

IMG_2922

My husband had 2 orders of the same thing.  One was the smelt roe, served on the cucumber cups.  He liked them.

Then he had the Pocono Mountain Roll, which had steamed shrimp, crab plus masago mixed with a spicy sauce.  It was good.  I had one of those; it was a nice roll.  It was one of those rolls that I would call safe.  Safe, meaning not daring just comfortable; easy on your palate.

Stingray has a Sushi Bar on Wheels.  You can have your own private sushi bar at your next event.  Which means that you can be a guest at your own party.  It offers a variety of maki rolls and sushi selections for your guests to enjoy.

Their Sushi Chefs will roll your selections behind their 6 seat sushi bar; fresh fish selections will be displayed in their refrigerated glass front sushi case.  To find more information about this, please call 302-227-6475. 

Besides Sushi, Stingray offers seafood, chicken, pork and beef.  There are even a couple of vegetarian dishes on the menu, as well.  Soups and salads are always on the menu.

Reservations are accepted for parties of 6 or more.

There is happy hour every day from 4 – 6 p.m. with 2 for 1 sushi rolls.  These will be selected rolls, dine in only and available in the bar and lounge only.

Saturdays and Sundays the happy hour starts at Noon until 6 p.m.

Some of the Latin dishes were Pork Mojo, lobster quesadillas, and fish tacos.  During the season more items will be added.

It was a nice evening.  At this time of the year, plenty of parking, no lines, so I am taking advantage before the gates open on Memorial Week-End.

 

Talk to you later…..have a good one….
