There are 27 participating restaurants in one square mile in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. That’s pretty impressive!! This is the perfect week to try restaurants in Downtown Rehoboth that you had not even thought about trying before for whatever reasons. There are great deals going on….and, you still have time because this event is ongoing through Friday, June 6th.
I have to give a shout to Rehoboth Beach Main Street, the sponsor of this very popular event. I was so thrilled to find out that I had won a $25 gift certificate to be used during the week. It came just in time because I used it on Tuesday, June 5th. Rehoboth Beach Main Street draws attention to the downtown district. It is the heart of Downtown Rehoboth Beach, bringing to this charming seaside community so many events for the entire family. For more info., please visit http://www.downtownrehoboth.com.
It is going to be 5 years in July since I started this blog. I have lived at the Delaware Beaches for so many years, that I do consider myself a “local”. A blog is a “diary” of sorts. The writer puts out his or hers experiences. I do love promoting the Delaware Beaches. So, I have been doing just that; reviewing restaurants, finding the best corn, the farmers’ markets, activities, and events, and the usual bla, bla, bla….
One evening, a month or so ago, I was on Wilmington Avenue when the lights and front of a restaurant caught my attention. I am sorry to say that I had not heard about it, but, I kept it on the back of my mind, after reading the menu. It would be an interesting one to try. Guess what? They have been in Downtown Rehoboth Beach for 3 years!! What kind of a local am I?
Shorebreak Lodge was the destination of one of my usual suspects, Debbie, and I, on Tuesday. We had not read any reviews…we were going with no preconceived ideas. How perfect was that?
Shorebreak Lodge is located just 133 steps to the Atlantic Ocean, on 10 Wilmington Avenue. Tel. 302-227-1007. Website? http://www.shorebreaklodge.com. Of course, I forgot my camera which was unusual, the iphone would do, I hoped.
Even before I tasted any of the food, I liked Shorebreak. We live at the beach, it is a laid back casual atmosphere; the one visitors come to experience. I was drawn to Shorebreak, then, when I tasted the food…I decided I could not wait to go back again.
It is called Shorebreak Lodge because the owners are surfers…Montauk, NY, a favorite spot. The location is practically on the beach….shorebreakers are found at the water’s edge.
Debbie and I decided to sit at sidewalk….with the big windows next to us.
Infused water, iced tea and a little atmosphere to start our evening. The service was attentive and not obtrusive.
Shorebreak Lodge can sit up to 70 customers. The menu changes constantly, bringing customers the fresh ingredients of the day. The food is not complicated….food allergy concerns? Please let them know.
The Roast Beets, Bucheron and Lentils….I love beets and so does Debbie. The combination of colors and flavors enhanced our tastebuds.
At times, and depending how they are cooked, octopus can be a little tough, but not on Tuesday. My Grilled Octopus “Romesco” was very flavorful and tender.
The Hake (Cape Cod), en papillote, with bacon chutney, carrot n’ fennel was presented beautifully and tasted just as good as it looked.
And the Surf n’ Turf of braised short ribs and sea scallops….I loved. Risotto accompanied the short ribs, which by the way melted in your mouth. Always a fan of scallops, these were cooked and seasoned to perfection.
Our selections for sweet endings were:
The strawberry puff pastry shortcake. Strawberries are in season, so we had to.
The Avocado and Coconut Milk “Creme Brulee”….first time seen it on a menu, so, we had to….and by the way, it was awesome. It was so good to be able to distinct the avocado and coconut flavors.
Very pleasantly surprised….so now you know…let me know how your experience is. Check it out when visiting the Nation’s Summer Capital.

From the Rehoboth Beach Film Society:
The moment the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival ends…the works starts all over again. The 2013 Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival will take place November 6th through the 13th. I was so happy to see that Damon Pla has been chosen once again as the winning artist to portrait the theme of this year’s festival. His acyrlic on canvas titled “Old Man and The Must See” is the selection for the 16th anniversary of the Rehoboth Beach Film Festival. Posters, programs, ads, t-shirts, and other materials will be released in July. In 2011 Damon Pla’s work was also selected. When asked what his inspiration was for this year’s piece, he replied “Old Man and The Must See” is based around the fascination of a combination of machines working together to serve one purpose, accentuating a journey, not a destination. In this case, emphasizing the work of the camera, not the subject being filmed.
Damon Pla is from South Florida….He is a self made painter. He offers original paintings, limited editions, commissions and trompe l’oeil/murals. Happy he has made his home, here, in Southern Delaware. Want to learn more? Please visit http://www.damonpla.com. Tel. 302-541-6057. Find him on Facebook, and Twitter.
