We celebrated our first anniversary dinner here, lured by the great reviews and variety of steaks available. Our meal started with a comp bacon wrapped date on shortbread which was flavorful and chewy. For steak, I was disappointed to learn that they were out of the strip, but I selected the ribeye center cooked medium rare and was rewarded with a perfectly cooked, wonderfully peppered steak. Husband ordered the full ribeye and was equally in love with his steak. For sides, the cheesey grits can be passed on but the brussel sprouts are a must. Our waiter was a little snobby, but the joy of these steaks would have me coming back again and again! read more

I have come here many times with my husband and have loved it very much. Today I just about walked out. The menu wasn't thrilling and actually seemed very heavy and wintery. But I decided on the Sea Bass which seemed light enough for the end of August. I asked them to sub mashed potatoes for the grits which came with it. I am not a grits fan. They refused to do it. They have a strict policy. It seems ridiculous. It's a simple swap of one starch for another. There's no reason not to be able to do that. The only way they would do it is by charging me $8.00 more. I refused. My husband and I ended up ordering much cheaper handhelds so they lost revenue over something stupid. Instead of $30 each go entrees we spent $15 each. We won't be back any time soon. read more

Amazingamazingamazing. I came in for brunch during my previous summer trip to Reho and was just blown away by everything. The food is super fresh and is local, if I understand correctly. Everything is made there and is made with love, guys and gals. I had a duck burger and I am not joking when I say it was basically what I ate ALL DAY. I have never been so happily full. I also had s'mores monkey bread that my table shared and that was probably the best/worst decision, too. Plus mimosas. The entire meal was indulgent, is my point, but so worth every thing. Make a reservation for any time of day and you'll be thrilled you did. read more

This by far was the best food we have had in a long time. I recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a great meal and drink. My husband is the pickiest eater, and he raced about the food. read more

We had a very good evening here. When we called (that day) for reservations, we were told that the only table was back by the restroom. Oh well, we'd go anyway. They ended up seating us on the glassed-in front porch, and right next to some old friends of ours. Great time gabbing. We had the fried green tomatoes. They weren't like Mom used to make, but they were still good. A vehicle for goat cheese and pesto. I got the scallops and my wife the halibut. Both were fabulous, with lots of different flavors in every bite. The desserts were even better. My wife had some sort of peach dish with peach and buttermilk ice cream, which she said was the best dessert she'd ever had. My pecan pie was good, but perhaps not that good, though it did have good ice cream. read more

We had a mixed experience at Blue Moon so I gave it three stars, but it could have been two. Hard to say. Basically, we had serious service issues, but they sort of got recitifed in the end ... and the food we had was great, although the menu was weak. Usually there are three or more things I'd like to try, but this was not the case, at least during our visit. Both service and food are important of course, but if you have to choose one, it's gotta be the food (and then it's got to be on what you had not what you might have had), so perhaps I erred on the higher number of stars. The saga started when we showed up for our reservation on time but didn't get seated for 25 minutes. Since they had our number, they could have phoned us and asked us to come later. Or, they could have been honest about how long it would be and we could have walked around the neighborhood or headed to the beach, but it was alway "soon" or "they are on dessert." Or I suppose we could have left. I always think that restaurants do this to get people to spend more time ... and money ... in the bar, and not being a big drinker (but loving food) I rather resent this. When we finally got seated, it was at this weirdly shaped table that was really a two-top set for three with a fourth set-up at an adjoining table .... but they wouldn't let us just sit two and two opposite because it would have blocked the egress of the next table. I get that of course, but it would have been awkward for dinner conversation. There was another table that came available so we asked it we could sit there instead. We waited for it to be re-set, but saw them put the flatware on the seat where the previous customers had sat. I mean .... ooooh! We asked to speak with the manager about "all this" and she was outright hostile ... about that weird table: "we've been seating parties of four there for 29 years. To her credit, she didn't comment on placing the flatware on the seat (and we'd asked for new flatware of course). When the server came, he apologized for the issues we'd experienced and they did comp us some fried green tomatoes ... which were yum-eee. We also had some duck empanadas that were amazingly good. I would definitely get both again if we go back. I had a filet for my main course. I rarely order steak other than in a steakhouse, but it just looked good (and nothing else really seemed particularly interesting). And it was great. Tender, perfectly grilled, dee-lish. The guy in the other couple we went with got a strip that he enjoyed. We both had a pureed cauliflower mash that was quite good, and fingerling potatoes that were delicious (and are among my favorite things). The women both had duck that was very good, but if you want some duck at Blue Moon I'd go for the empanadas. We didn't do coffee or dessert because there's an ice cream parlour in Rehoboth that we really like, but the menu was interesting, So, all in all, the inital impression was poor, but the waiter (and the cute busboy) pretty much redeemed that and the food we had was quite good, although I did not really think the menu was very inspired, at least on that particular night. read more

Along with Back Porch probably the best restaurants in Rehoboth for over 20 years , bar crowd gay, but not flamboyant. $$$$

Went for dinner this week. Service excellent and food great. Everyone should just go there for a great high-end dinner. read more

This place was the best part of our vacation. 9 of us were looking for a good time with very different wants and needs and all of them were met. The owner, Randy, was the best. When we ended up stranded and were to the point of walking home to Dewey because the cab scene ended early, he offered to bring us all home! 9 of us! His kindness was out of this world. Also, Stephanie was a doll, she was super helpful in actually getting us a cab home. The hospitality here is unreal, and the drinks were great, the atmosphere was fun and the music was perfect! Go here and you will not regret it. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere! Service was good and waitress had great knowledge of each item on menu.

My boyfriend and I went to the Blue Moon for Christmas Eve dinner. It was absolutely amazing! The service was stellar from the host to the bartender to the server. The bartender was very friendly and let us try little samples of single malt scotch before we ordered one. Very nice to say the least. We had Saldo wine and the fried tomatoes to start..super delicious. I had the venison which I think was a special that night and I can't stop talking about how perfect it was --and it's almost Valentines day! My boyfriend had the ribeye with bone marrow which was just as tasty but I did not want to share my venison! I love it there especially for a special occasion, totally worth it! read more

New Moon is a funky, classy place to go out for a quality dinner in Rehoboth. It's part restaurant and part bar with a big patio that provides late night entertainment every night. They have a vegetarian platter which I order as vegan and it's always delightful and delicious! Great service too. read more

Unbelievable food, drinks and staff. Can't wait to go back in February for our next trip to RB. Wine pairing dinner on Tuesday was fantastic! Had to go back the next night for the regular menu. If you have time, stay and see one of their shows! read more

My fiance and I went to this restaurant in October 2013. They were almost fully booked but were able to seat us right away. The server was amazing, as was the seat in the front by the window! We enjoyed a great view and great food! The Chef and the staff are wonderful and know what they are doing. The restaurant is pricey but it is worth every penny you will spend. We will be coming back to this restaurant next time we are in town. read more

I can't speak for the food as I've never actually dined at the restaurant, however, the bar is fantastic! I've been 10 or so times and all of the bartenders are exceptional. Very attentive, very friendly and very quick. The drinks and the entertainment are a hit. The atmosphere is the sole reason I continue coming back. Would definitely recommend! read more

I have never eaten at this restaurant, but in the evenings, it turns into one of the most popular gay bars in Rehoboth. It is beautifully decorated, with an outdoor porch that is well-lit. The dancing is very fun, including a laser-lit dancefloor with a ceiling that can open to reveal the night sky. There are two bars with hot, tight-shirt-clad waiters. P.S. Whenever I've been here, this place attracts a slightly older crowd (30+), so if you want a younger crowd, dance at Cloud 9. read more

My husband made reservations here for my birthday after looking online and seeing the favorable reviews. We started the meal with a salad that came with strawberries, goat cheese and almonds. It was good, though the rolls they gave us were undercooked. For my entree I ordered the scallops which were cooked perfectly. My husband had the duck with rhubarb chutney which was also excellent. The service was very friendly and attentive and everyone around us seemed to be having a good time. This wasn't the best meal I had in Rehoboth Beach (that would be Salt Air) but I would definitely return here in the future. read more

We eat in NYC often and have had many great meals. This restaurant is ABSOLUTELY a must visit place when in the Rehoboth area! We love it there as the food is exceptional. Last night we had the octopus appetizer and shared the lobster and short rib entrees. It was mouth watering!!! Best octopus we have ever had. Drinks are great too, as was the homemade ice cream dessert. GO!!! You're welcome :-) read more

I've been enjoying the Blue Moon since I was 16 back in 1981....my family comes here every year and it seems to get better each time. Tonight, I had the chance to bring my adult sons here and it was fantastic! We ordered everything from drinks to dessert and were so pleased with every single course. The ambiance is lovely as always and the service, friendly and attentive. We LOVE you, Blue Moon!! read more

This place is a dump! Mediocre food (hit and miss), horrible management, rude hosts, and ridiculous seating process. My husband and I were in the restaurant business for 20 years and we always treated patrons like royalty. This place is unwelcoming, and diners are made to feel like they are an imposition! We will NEVER go there again and if you are wise, you will RUN away from this place! Blue Moon=waste of time and money! read more

I have always heard good things about this place so decided to try it out for brunch. We were seated promptly with no wait. Took 10 min to get our menus, service is a bit slow. Ordered the green tomatoes and beignets to start off with and they were amazing!! Ordered the burger which was also very good. Took a long time for the food to come out, but everything ended up being delicious. read more

A spontaneous road trip downeeoceanhon. Where to eat in a town full of restaurants? Yelp to the rescue! Blue Moon did not disappoint. The coffee was strong, the cinnamon scones heavy, dry and not too sweet (all of which are compliments!), and each of dishes was a treat. I enjoyed the eggs Benedict. Perfectly poached and placed atop yummy, flaky cheddar chive biscuits. Our group's vegetarian was a little disappointed that pretty much everything involved bacon, but they were happy to make her dish without it. Well, "happy," but not so much successful, since she did find a couple of crumbled pieces in her greens. She's not a psycho vegetarian, but if you are, beware! Service was fine--not great, perhaps a little terse--but nothing offensive or annoying. All said, I would certainly go back. read more

This was an upscale restaurant that 4 friends & I enjoyed during Restaurant Week on a week-long early June vacation in 2010. There was a $30 pri fixe menu with limited choices of appetizer, entree & desert & $5 per glass white & red wine. I had a wild mushroom, cheddar flat bread for my appetizer---delicious! The entree I chose was a pork reloude made with lots of veggies & accompanied by delicious black-eyed peas. I chose the angel food cake for dessert, with a mojito granite & delicious tastes of sauce. The entire meal for all 5 of us (not including tip) was only $189 before tip & worth every penny. We also enjoyed the bar next door very much. They were having the Rehoboth Bay Idol singing contest, episode 3 of 4 that night and a good time was had by all! I recommend this place. Just a lovely change from the usual laid-back casual spot on the beach! read more

Fun bar! Def a fun crowd, mix of locals and tourists. The atmosphere is nice: classy, understated and def fresh. There's open air seating out back if u care to smoke and sit, a decent sized bar in the middle, and a patio that seems to draw a good crowd. Very Key-West meets Dupont Circle. Ill stop in for a drink next time I visit. read more

Great food, testy server (but we were there on a Saturday and it was busy at 9:30, and one of us could not decide on their order). Grilled Octopus was delightful, lamb chops great, short rib was good. Fun dance club even for us straight and narrow folks. Don't remember the last time I saw a Cher video and heard everyone singing. read more

I'll preface this by saying this was the best brunch I've ever had. I wish it was closer to where I live. Service was kind, friendly, and attentive. No issues here. The place was seemingly small but they had a piano room that was pretty much unoccupied with plenty of room. Anyways, where I was it was very cramped and small--the only issue I had the entire time. The food quickly made all that not an issue. I had a smoked salmon eggs benedict with a side of bacon. It was perfect, it was delicious, best eggs benedict I've ever had. I just got hungry again thinking about them. My girlfriend had the crab scramble which was also good but not as good as what I had. We paired all this with some mimosas which were also perfect. If I'm ever back in the area, I will unquestionably come back. They change their sunday brunch menu every sunday so they're always changing things up. read more

The food was ok. Nothing special. Everything was actually very salty. Too salty. And I'm used to hanging out with Eastern Europeans who love salt. In fact my ex girlfriend used to salt her crappy Americanized Chinese food takeout...that's right...her lo-mein and hunan chicken which were loaded with salt and MSG was not salty enough for her. She probably would have really liked this place. Me? I drank a LOT of water. And wine. Service was spotty. Took almost 10 minutes to get anyone to get us some water and menus. Another 5 for bread. Ridiculous. I remember the oysters were really tasty...I think they washed them of the brine a bit and put their own sauce on it. So if you like briney oysters, maybe you won't like them. I can go either way and thought they were delish. The place gets an extra star because after the 10 minute lapse in bad service, the waitress finally showed up and was very nice and knowledgeable. She forewarned me about saltiness without my questioning...maybe if the wait staff is warning customers that things are too salty, the chef should modify the recipe? And it gets an extra star because that moon pie ice cream dessert was really tasty in a 5th grader kind of awesome kind of way. My girlfriend loved it, and her favorite food is potato...such a 5th grader. Except she's not in 5th grade and she's 6' tall, because I'm not really dating a 5th grader. No pedo. read more

Blown away by my meal at Blue Moon. And I'm PICKY. Highly recommended: pork chop, crab cake, the duck, the duck, the duck. Terrific, knowledgeable waitress. Also, the bombe is... well, the bomb. What a sensational dessert. Easily satisfied four of us. read more

If there is a better restaurant for fine dining on the DelMarVa peninsula, I'd like to know it because it would be a 6. Inventive dishes, quaint yet trendy space, quiet, crowed yet intimate. Fabulous staff, friendly service, and unbelievably good food. read more

I thought I'd stumbled on a little gem on an overnight stop. Felt particularly pleased to discover there was a drag show on the night I was there. Friendly staff greeted and the food was reasonable but after the meal, the host informed me that they didn't have a table for the cabaret. Pretty sucky move after seating me at a table in the cabaret room. I definitely felt targeted...whether because I was alone or a tourist, I don't know. I wasn't drunk and there was no other potential issue. This left a very nasty taste in my mouth and is why I am writing this review. Poor behaviour needs to be called out and this was very shoddy! read more

fabulous restaurant. one of the top 5 meals ive ever had all time. very hip but relaxed and fun atmosphere. scallops dish delicious as well as crab spagetti, crab cakes...cute outdoor seating with fire pit read more

Yet another wonderful dinner Blue Moon. As usual the staff were great, the place atmospheric and charming, and of course all the food was excellent! See you next time! read more

Last night we celebrated my step-dad's 60th, and we wanted to make it special, so we decided to have it catered and also include a wine tasting. We spoke to several restaurants and decided to go with Blue Moon. It was an easy decision after speaking to the owner, Megan. She was so helpful, even electing to accompany us to Bin 66 to pick out the high-end wine that we thought my step-dad would enjoy. Megan helped us choose the wine that she ended up using for the wine tasting that included hand-picked appetizers chosen according to the wine selections. The night was better than we could have ever imagined. The food was incredible, Megan and Arkites (spelled phonetically) were so awesome, and we couldn't be happier. If you haven't eaten at Blie Moon yet, you have to go. If you're looking for a place to cater your party, Blue Moon is a no brainier. Love. read more

I've been coming to Blue Moon for 4-5 years, mainly for the Legends show on Saturday night. The performers do a professional job and I appreciate that they always sing. Since Covid they have changed the entire approach for the bar area, they no longer seem to allow people to come in and just order a drink or two but they require you to purchase a dinner and make a reservation. One time my reservation was canceled because I made a mistake by a half hour and they allowed us to sit at the bar and have our dinners and drinks there. I tried 2 weeks ago to sit at the bar and was refused by the host at the door to do so. They also have changed their dinner menu and it is a tad limiting. Some of the items I used to enjoy are no longer included. To make things worse the waitress made a mistake with our tabs and used someone else's debit card to pay my tab and used my card to pay their tab and gave us each others cards back. Since it was very dark and both cards were the exact same color neither me or the other customer noticed and I found out 2 hours later when I went to get gas that I had someone else's debit card and they have mine!! In a panic I went back to Blue Moon and caught 2 waitresses on the way out the door. The waitress who waited on us was very apologetic and seemed horrified so at that point it was hard to be mad at her. The 2nd waitress drove to the other person's hotel at almost midnight and exchanged our cards for us. The only issue left was the almost $100 charge on my card that was above and beyond my tab that was already pending in my account. The waitresses said no one knew how to reverse any charges except the owner. I finally got a call back from the owner on Tuesday (almost 4 days later) and I explained to him what had happened. At first he seemed sympathetic but near the end of the conversation stated he will have to "verify my story" as if I would make something this crazy up for around $100. They did credit my account back the next day but I was given no compensation for all my troubles and luckily for me I wasn't hard up for the money until I got it back. I would hate to think of someone expecting to pay a utility bill or something while their money was being incorrectly held ransom for 4 days. I had to cancel my debit card and get a new one and spent over 2 hours on the phone with my bank and the restaurant all because of one of their staff's error. Bad customer service if you ask me! It seems the locals don't come here anymore either much, it seems to be more of the tourist trap and after this experience I won't be rushing back. read more

Good stuff...This was probably the best meal that we have had in Rehoboth. We got a rare night away from the baby and in spite of the fact that we did not arrive until 9PM the food was still great. I had the chorizo stuffed duck breast over wild rice with maple reduction and it was very good. My wife had squid ink pasta with shrimp and some very tasty scallops. We did not have dessert, but did see someone order what looked like a giant pie...this thing was about 12 inches high! We did not get to check out the bar. I would definitely recommend this place, my guess is that it is pretty crowded during the summer. You can use Open Table to make reservations on-line. read more

Aside from an awkward encounter w/ the hostess, Blue Moon was awesome. We started off w/ the house made duck prosciutto and mortadella, both excellent (particularly the prosciutto). We also had the mozzarella burrata which was fresh pulled mozzarella over a bed of fresh tomatoes and sweet corn. Easily one of the best apps I've had all year. For the mains we had the scallops and halibut. The halibut was well prepared, but it just wasn't for me. The scallops on the other hand were AWESOME and the portion was extremely generous (6 scallops). Seared perfectly over a bed of sweet corn/peaches. Awesome. Finished w/ the house made sorbet & fresh fruit which was stupid tasty. The bill was totally reasonable about $120 for two people plus a 20ish% tip. Would absolutely go again. Oh and bonus points. Clumsy wife spills her water ALL over her clearly miserable husband's main course. Waitress promptly replaced it, free of charge. Suggestion though: get a bathroom exclusively for the bar & don't allow bar patrons to stumble into the dining room looking for the bathroom; it's obnoxious as hell. read more

We ate the Blue Moon restaurant this evening. We were treated to a delicious smoked salmon item on crisp wafer on the house. My wife had a delicious miso glazed Scottish salmon.I had a delicious smoked duck breast. There the dessert we share was the Bluemoon special which was basically a giant multi-layered ice cream cake with a macadamia caramel crumble, a cookie crust, marshmallow coat covering dripping with chocolate sauce...Awesome. Wonder waiter, good conversation with nearby fellow customers. Will definitely come back when we get a chance to return to Rehoboth Beach. read more

See all

Checked this place out the weekend after Labor Day and it was a ton of fun! Nice crowd. Not pretentious. Great music. Just a good time place! Being the weekend after Labor Day we had a really tough time getting a cab back to Dewey Beach. Like, it was pretty ridiculous. One of the managers or owners name Randy was a huge help in this and went above and beyond to help. Thanks a ton Randy!!!!! Definitely looking forward to coming back next summer!!!! read more

I have been here before and the food was good. I went again this weekend and I got the ribeye for my entree. The chef put some type of maple glaze on the steak and it really destroyed the taste of the meat. As I was eating, it felt like I was eating steak with maple syrup on top. Really disappointing after paying 40 bucks for a ribeye. read more

Against my better judgement gave Blue Moon another shot. Still awful. Horrible staff, mediocre everything.
