Drift Seafood and Raw Bar

This lovely small restaurant in the heart of Rehoboth boasts great dishes, fresh ingredients, a cute bar and “outside” dining. The menu changes often and it is my understanding that they make their own fresh pasta.
The appetizers were marvelously executed and tasty. We loved the crab hush puppies, the mushroom skewers and the Delaware oysters on the half shell. The peach skewers were delightfully presented with its ricotta and blackberries.
Some dishes were flawed like the soft shell crab. While it was well cooked in its tempura batter, it was tasteless and the broth was overly spicy with old bay. It was a let down.
While we had a good time, the service staff was dysfunctional. Lacking total coordination between servers it took forever to get our drinks. And the server refused to answer menu questions before the drink order. New one for me.
Nice? Yes, but don’t expect the best service

I've been coming to the Delaware beaches my entire life and never have I found a restaurant that blew my mind. I can't express how amazing our experience was. The oysters were the best I've ever had. The fried oysters are a must. The lobster French toast was so decadent and enormous. The cocktails were fantastic. The burnt basque cheesecake was everything I hoped for. The service was first Class, Kayla made our experience so much more enjoyable. We will definitely be back. Thank you all for making Amber's birthday so special.

Wow!

We had probably the best dinner (IMO) in our regular visits to Lewes/Rehoboth. Excellent well prepared food, elegant yet substantial… and plated significantly better than their peers. Table service is near perfect with attentive wait staff, support (bussers/runners) and managers. Photos should speak for me but the scallop crudo, and grilled peach (with beautiful fresh ricotta) dishes were totally worth the price and returning for. Coconut shrimp, loaded oysters, and crab pasta were also excellent.
