Sat at the bar Saturday evening for a lite bite to eat. My wife and I were welcomed by the friendly bartenders. We both had wine and then some food. Both of us enjoyed our food. The clam chowder, while definitely different, was fantastic. My salad was fresh and very tasty. My wife enjoyed her fish. The selection of wine was very good. We both enjoyed talking with the bartenders. Definitely, will come back.

Please bring back good mocktails! :) Sean used to make a hibiscus, ginger beer and lime refresher, and before that he made a strawberry with the ginger beer and lime refresher. Now for about a year, the 2 mocktails offered are not good and way too sweet. Kind of defeating the purpose of choosing mocktails for a healthier refreshing option. (The last one I tried with Lavendar was so overly sweet and weirdly made me feel Hungover almost like there was alcohol in it). Hoping for better mocktails in the future :)

Deserving of the 'Best of Delaware' award because everyone from our party of 6 left satisfied, including the pickiest eaters I know. The wagyu burger ("damn good burger") was great and the smoke show was an interesting cocktail for the whiskey lovers. Would recommend asking for more syrup and bitters if you prefer a sweeter cocktail but it's whiskey so what else should you expect.

Exquisite experience! Highly recommend! Exceptional food, wine, drinks, ambiance, vibe, and staff! Lewes Oyster House is one of my favorite restaurants, in Lewes or anywhere. I am a longtime vegan, my partner is not, and we both love this place! If you are vegan, you must eat here. Chef Sean is an genius food artist. Truly a master. He will create a vegan meal for you with the highest quality ingredients and most nuanced deeply satisfying flavors in ways you haven't yet experienced. I strongly recommend ordering Chef's vegan creations (he will accommodate your taste preferences). Just exceptional every time. Masterful Wine Steward Diego will choose the most perfect wine pairing. The bartender's cocktail creations are so unique and satisfying. Every staff member, Tamara, Tara, John, and everyone, are always lovely and delightful. Home run experience every time we've been there, which has been a lot, for lunch, dinner, or just drinks and appetizers. Experience one of the best restaurants anywhere for yourself. We certainly can't wait to go back!

First time here and glad they take reservations through OpenTable. We got lucky and found street parking close-by. I highly recommend the raw oysters, Oyster's Rockefeller, hanger steak and lobster roll. The butter poached halibut was disappointing, it was so overcooked and very dry. Decent draft beer list. Service was good.
