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.

A stop to Jam to check out their new location on 210 Second St. (corner of Wilmington Ave.) They do have a rooftop bar, as well.
Just sat in the bar area. Hungry for something simple. Basic American food.
Their telephone is 302-226-5266. They are on Social Media.
I had the best Deviled Eggs. So different but very good. Lump Crab Deviled Eggs with candied bacon, jalapeño and Old Bay dijonaise. If you look at the photo up close the base of the egg is the egg white, of course, except that the egg white is a square almost cooked in a mold and then topped with the filling.
The Scallop Mornay Portabellas with a slightly wilted spinach salad and cherry tomatoes with a Balsamic reduction I would say they were very good.
BBQ Grilled Half chicken was what I wanted. Great pomegranate BBQ sauce.
Jam is good for the whole family. Try it.

Every month I get a magazine, not one I had requested. In it they always put a recipe. To tell you the truth they all look pretty good.
What a rainy afternoon we had in Southern Delaware yesterday. The latest recipe in that magazine was Cozy Winter White Bean Soup. The recipe comes The Yoga Plate: Bring Your Practice into the Kitchen with 108 Simple & Nourishing Vegan Recipes.
The recipe has simple ingredients and it is very easy to make.
COZY WINTER WHITE BEAN SOUP
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion diced, about 1 cup
2 stalks celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 cans white beans, drained and rinsed
2 medium potatoes, diced, about 2 cups
2 large carrots, diced
1 tbsp. Finely chopped parsley
1 tsp. Himalayan pink salt (use what you have)
6 cups vegetable broth (I used low salt and then adjust)
1 cup water
salt and pepper to taste
In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and garlic and cook until the vegetables are tender.
Add the beans, potatoes, carrots, parsley, salt, 6 cups of broth, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 1 hour. If necessary, add more water and salt and pepper to taste.
How easy is that? Serve it and enjoy👏👏

Rehoboth Beach ends 2022 with the opening of the Libation Room, a Speakeasy. No way, really? Get out of here some will say. How fun is that?
Let me backtrack to the years of 1920-1933. Prohibition in the United States had establishments selling illegal alcoholic beverages. Shhhh…keep your voice down. Let’s not alert anyone. These were called Speakeasies .
The Libation Room is located inside the iconic restaurant the Summer House. New ownership but the reputation of a place for good food and fun times in Rehoboth Beach continues.
Reservations for dining at the Summer House are not accepted. But, for The Libation Room they are accepted and I do recommend them.
You may go through the main entrance on Rehoboth Ave. or make it more fun by going through the one on Christian Street, parallel to Rehoboth Ave. Then, cross the alley and the sign above will be there. No knocking necessary 😃 but you will walk right into the room.
Nowadays legal bars have modeled their establishments on historical speakeasies.
Soft lighting, comfortable seatings; almost too comfortable. This was Friday, December 30th. The Libation Room…first impression I do love. Lounge atmosphere conducive to conversation.
The Libation Room offers a full menu from the Summer House plus they have a tapas menu along with crafty cocktails.
A surprise was that when the menu is opened it lights up. You will be able to perfectly see their offerings.
Drinks were ordered including my new go to vodka called Rocktown from Rock Town Distillery, gluten free and not sold everywhere but it is here in Delaware.
The food was very good and we started with a Seafood Bisque, which had a nice consistency and not shy on lobster.
My Spinach Salad was particularly good as well.
The Mushroom Ravioli was delicious and hopefully they will keep the dish on the menu.
I love a good pork chop. I want a juicy one, pink in the middle. While the taste was delicious I found it a little dry to my liking.
The Libation Room opens Thursday through Monday 5 p.m. until 1 a.m.
Check them out. Fun place to visit while in Rehoboth Beach.
Happy New Year. AboutMyBeaches is on Facebook and Instagram.

I had to start my post with the photo above. It is so true. Sadie, my rescue, loves me. She is so funny, She barks a lot but I think she loves more the front door of our house. Her domain.
So here she was dressed for Halloween last year. People ask me what breed is she. Heinz 57, course. Short legs, bigger body, great markings. I kept her name Sadie because she has a worried look. A couple of days a week I take Sadie to Jungle Jim’s Total Pet Care, 1705 Coastal Highway, Dewey Beach, DE. 302-988-4186. The owner is Jim Caperelli. The Operations Manager is Alexa Barbaretti. They are dog lovers and it reflects in the way they care for their clients.
Sadie has a boyfriend and his name is Fonzi. He knows she’s the boss.
Halloween was a good day. In Dewey Beach Sadie and Fonzi were taken for an outing in town towards the bay by Alexa and Anthony, her husband.
First time Sadie had been in the water. She only put her foot in but took in the scenery.
She followed Fonzi’s lead and dug a hole.
It was such a pretty day and Dewey was quiet.
I have had Sadie since 2017. She trusts and she talks all the time. She has some bad habits but when you think of it who knows what she has gone through in her young life.
So all in all a good day in the life of a rescue.

Rehoboth Beach is ready for the Fourth of July. The Boardwalk looks great and this past week the beaches have been amazing.
This town is know for its restaurants too besides the beaches. A wide variety of restaurants for sure. From upscale to the Boardwalk Grub as I usually call it.
Last night TC and I decided to graze instead of a full dinner. Bar seating to have drinks and a few small plates. Grazing is a way of eating that involves consuming multiple meals throughout the day. You know how it is, animals graze, stop and continue eating.😁
Our first stop was the bar at Theo’s located at 44 Baltimore Ave. First time there. It was crowded but usually you can find a couple of seats at the bar.
Tuna Tartare for me with avocado, green tomato and wonton crisps. Delicious👏
The Edamame were great…salty and with added spices.
Our next stop was Eden located at 23 Baltimore Ave. This is one of my favorites and knew already what we were going to order. Bar seating again. Plenty of customers inside and outside. Thought this was interesting 😃
The French 75 was ordered but with Courvoisier instead of Gin. And their Grilled Caesar Salad which is the best in town. That tapenade is awesome.
Down to the Boardwalk we went for our last stop to Thrasher’s. These French Fries are loved by many and even though I usually complain because they are not crispy enough well, well, last night they were and I had my share.
Salt and vinegar are a must.
To a bench we went to enjoy and people watch.
