Best Seafood Restaurants in Rehoboth Beach

Our server, Julia, was the BEST! The food was fantastic and our drinks were great. The Christmas atmosphere was festive and fun. We appreciate the great service and fabulous food.

This is a gem with elegance and style. The food is excellence, as is the service. And everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. This was our second visit, the first inside.

I dined here for the Feast of the Seven Fishes: 6 seafood dishes plus dessert. Not all the dishes were successful, but I applaud the chef’s originality. IMO, the exceptional dishes were: 1. The first one, oysters with a champagne toast. What was exceptional was the hint of ginger. 2. My second favorite, the second one with thinly sliced raw baby octopus and white truffles with a blood orange vinaigrette. 3. My favorite, the sixth course, olive oil poached catfish with caviar. The catfish was so so so good! One It was pillowy soft and delicious. Its sweetness and richness was nicely offset by the arugula salad. 4. The seafood soup. Not overly rich and the mussels, cockles and shrimp were perfectly cooked. The less successful dishes for me were: 1. The fried baccalia and artichokes. I found the fish overcooked and way too salty. 2. The squid ink spaghettini. The pasta was bland and while the uni butter and chili emulsion were excellent, there wasn’t enough of them. Dessert was average. Not too sweet. My biggest complaint was the mousse which was too hard and thick. Service was excellent and I very much appreciated how each dish was described to us.

Jam was a wonderful find that did not disappoint. We were seated quickly in a warm, windowed dining room adjacent to a wine collection room divider. Jack, our server was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable about Jam’s menu. We opted for fish tacos (huge portion of 2), and a Rehoboth Beach version of a cheesesteak constructed with a generous chunks of filet mignon (one of the best cheesesteaks we’ve ever had). Both dishes were accompanied by delicious sides of truffle-parmigiana fries and cheesey fries. The meal was better than expected and thoroughly enjoyed. We’re heading back next Thursday for Jam’s steak night!

We try to eat here whenever we’re in town. Nice menu and the food is consistently good. We like to sit in the bar area and people watch. Highly recommend.
