I thought everything here tasted uninspired. I had the crab soup, scallops, crab cakes, truffle tots... I didn't love anything. The environment in the marsh was lovely. Service was fine. You are paying for the ambiance. Sit outside. read more

Although we had a 40 minute wait (we were told 45 minutes-hour), we sat out front & had a cocktail while we waited. Once seated, we had a delicious meal, not rushed or feeling like we were pressured to eat & run. Unfortunately I don't remember what any of us had, but it was a delightful evening. read more

This place was just fantastic. Walked in on a Friday night and were told it was an hour and and a half wait. Ended up only waiting 45 min. We had a party of 6 and they accommodated another 2 without any issues. Everything was delicious! We got pretzel bites with cheese, crab dip, wedge with crab cake, Brussel salad, crab cakes, clams, a few burgers, the mussels- and the gumbo was one of the best out there! (Sorry no pics as we were in good company and the atmosphere was great, but trust me it was good!) I also have to give a shout out to our server Lauren. She was really on her game- so personable and accommodating, and it really was such a pleasure having her as our server. Allergies were an issue at our table and she went the extra mile with that, as well as giving options for mock tails for a few pregnant ladies at our table. She's a keeper for sure! read more

Very beautiful location and our waitress was friendly. However, the food was just not good at all. We stopped in for dinner last night and the restaurant was packed. We loved the location and the views are just great. We were pretty excited to try the food based off of the reviews but we were so disappointed. We started off with the deviled eggs with crab meat and the cheese dip pretzels. The dip had zero flavor and the deviled eggs were mediocre at best. I ordered the iceberg salad with a crab cake and my partner ordered the gumbo. The crab cake was lukewarm and not good. My partner didn't eat the gumbo because his dish was not prepared the way he asked and the seafood did not look good. We had high hopes for this place but I expect a lot more when it comes to food quality and execution. Hopefully they get a new chef because basic seasoning and flavor is lacking majorly! read more

Absolutely fabulous!!!! We have been coming to Rehoboth for years & decided to take a drive and try something new!! My husband had the Oyster Rockefeller and said they were the best he has ever had! The truffle tater tots where seasoned with a touch of truffle oil and finished with a hint of Parmesan cheese and scallions. The Brussels sprout salad was perfectly dressed with a slight crunch of Pistachios and pecorino cheese. The salad girl in me loved this! Entrees from halibut to salmon to shrimp & grits was delicious bite after bite! However - what made the night was our server Lauren! Unbelievably attentive , kind, funny and just awesome! Our 13 year daughter used her own money to leave a tip because she loved her!! Thank you for a terrific experience- we will be back!! read more

Came here for Mother's Day with my family and it was pleasant! We were seated upstairs comfortable for a larger group. The cocktails were delicious and the brunch options were limited, but good. The food didn't come out cold, but also not hot. I think it may have sat for a bit before being brought to our table. Overall would recommend! Don't forget to make a reservation read more

Normally, this is one of our favorite spots, but Easter brunch wasn't great. I give it three stars for service and atmosphere. The oysters and monkey bread were very good. We commented on how quickly we were served and soon found out why. My husband and I both ordered crab eggs benedict. The english muffin was so hard we couldn't even cut through it. It seemed like it had been pre made and sitting under a warmer for a while (my daughter's sausage gravy was the same). The poached eggs and hollandaise sauce were hard. Easily, the worst we ever had. By the time we were leaving we heard them telling other tables they were out of benedict and sausage gravy. Then a man at the table beside us said I don't know how you run out of eggs. Not a good day for this typically great restaurant. We'll be back. Hopefully these issues are resolved. read more

We always enjoy dining at Catch 54 and dinner last night did not disappoint! We love the ambience, views over the bay and the food is amazing!! The corn salad that accompanied the salmon was amazing. read more

Excellent food, drinks and with a view! Sat at the bar and had a fantastic view, meal and discussion with the bar tender.

Had the fish and grits which was incredible. My wife had the fried shrimp and fried. The fried shrimp tasted fresh and were seasoned well. Server was very friendly and provided good recommendations! We will definitely visit again. read more

Catch 54 - Shrimp and grits - Seafood Near Me - Selbyville, Delaware

Went here for dinner recently. I was there just before peak season on a Thursday night, so they were running a 25% off special; this was a welcome surprise. I ordered the wedge salad and shrimp & grits. The wedge salad had nice pieces of bacon and a good amount of bleu cheese. It also had pickled onions which complemented the salad nicely. A lot of places in this area use mass produced salad dressing; I could definitely tell this dressing was made in house. Overall, very good. The shrimp and grits was several shrimp cooked and seasoned to perfection in a red pepper sauce, served over grits. This was a pretty far cry from the southern version, but still delicious. The grits were thick and creamy, there were nice pieces of chorizo throughout, and the red pepper sauce brought everything together nicely. Overall, pretty good. Service was solid from the bartender at the downstairs bar. The downstairs bar does not have nearly as nice a view as the upstairs bar; sadly, since it was still the shoulder season, the upstairs bar was closed. Overall, very good experience. Pro tip: the outdoors dining room tables on the upper deck provide an amazing view of the wetlands/bay, a view that beats pretty much every other restaurant in the area. Definitely worth the wait! read more

The food is delicious and they have a great wine list. They also have a great happy hour and two bars. The restaurant offers great views of the bay and indoor/outdoor seating. Very happy we stumbled upon this place and will definitely include this on our "go to" list when we return to the beach. read more

Catch 54 - Deviled eggs topped with salmon on the happy hour menu - pure deliciousness! - Seafood Near Me - Selbyville, Delaware

You can always count on Catch 54 for a great atmosphere, excellent staff, amazing food, and fantastic views. You won't be disappointed!

Ahh such an amazing restaurant! We were a big group and ordered a bunch of stuff, all exceptionally good. The mussels with cream and mustard sauce was just out of this world. Could not keep myself from dipping the bread in it. The bread too was dense and delicious. Seafood gumbo - was great, not too spicy (maybe to a Korean). It wasn't so much of a stew than an assortment of various seafood with sauce. The highlight was the scallops, so thick and chewy. Grits, oysters, crap cakes - all good!!! read more

Mussels appetizer is delicious! The sauce is what really brings it home! Some dishes didn't have a ton of flavor but the presentation was great and the oysters were perfectly shucked! read more

Our first night in Fenwick and we were starving! They told us 45 mins. After 1.5 hours we were told our table wasn't ready because the previous diners were still hanging out and not ready to leave yet. How about encourage them along some?! Also I tried to buy a gift card for my sister while there and was told on three different occasions "you'll have to give me some time" and then " you'll have to go to the bar".....tried the hostess, the downstairs bar and the upstairs bar. No one wanted my free money. Ok?! I said never mind. Also our waitress never came back at the end. Once we finally tracked her down, she said " you could've left it on the table", uh no we aren't leaving $200 in cash just laying around. Go somewhere else, they're just too busy! Food was good, could've been a bigger selection. read more

Love coming to this place when we're in the area! The happy hour menu is pretty good and the drinks and food are also great. The two bar areas make finding seats easy. I recommend trying this restaurant if you're in town! read more

The beet spinach salad was delicious and plentiful, others enjoyed the roasted Brussels sprouts and fish & chips. Great service, fun time.

The fried calamari was the best I've ever had and the crabcakes were delicious Going back for a second night.

This is my go to place for hh and otherwise. The food is always fresh and delicious, well presented, and it's a beautiful restaurant in a gorgeous setting. The staff are always top notch friendly and provide incredible service. From the fresh oysters to the crab deviled eggs to their well sized burger and yummy perfectly prepared drinks you can't go wrong here with anything you order unless you haven't left room for dessert! Their pastry chef is mad good and they recently brought on the permanent menu the best chocolate layer cake I have ever had with crunchy dots and ice cream! read more

From appetizer to dessert, the meal was a total win. The restaurant was busy, yet the service was excellent and the food was cooked to perfection coming out hot at an appropriate cadence. The price point was fair for the quality and the ambiance was good. I'm a big fan of this one and I'll be back! read more

Catch 54 - Cake and ice cream - Seafood Near Me - Selbyville, Delaware

We were very happy with this restaurant. We had a fantastic server named George. He gave us just the right amount of attention. He was funny and attentive but not overdone. We had some nice drinks , appetizers and our seafood was delish! Nice ambiance also. Def recommend.! read more

We had a great experience at Catch 54. We went for happy hour 4-6. Had $1 oysters, calamari, deviled eggs, and $3 beers. The oysters and apps were awesome and the service was even better. Very attentive despite being short staffed. Everyone was super friendly and the atmosphere was clean, elegant, without being pretentious. The views of the bay from the deck are beautiful. Over all a very good experience. read more

Absolutely Disappointing!!!! Went there in 2012 and it was first class. This weekend was a disaster! No branded beer! No Heineken, etc just fruity high Alcohol content fruit and chocolate beer. I tried some samples and was just disgusted. I ordered the oysters. They had heavy breading and the tarter sauce was TERRIBLE! they can't even make tarter sauce. When I sent the beer back the waiter said "I'll see if the manager will take it off the bill" hu? We left most of our meal, all of our beer and just asked for the check. NO MANAGER CONCERN!!! We will NEVER GO BACK! Sodel is supposedly the best at the beach but my experience is not good at Ocean View Brewery, etc. you think they get the beach offering and they ruin the traditional meals and add TV dinners and heavy meat dishes. I get that in my hometown diner! DISAPPOINTING YO SAY THE LEAST! Maybe we'll go to Europe! read more

SO GOOD. Service was great! We got the 54 burger, shrimp and grits, and Chesapeake chicken. We enjoyed every dish, and everybody was satisfied. We got the crab dip and shaved Brussels sprouts , and they were delicious. They gave us complimentary bread with a delicious cinnamon-type of butter. I wish the bread was hotter and a bit toastier, but it was delicious. The only "bad" review is that the clam chowder was not what we expected. It had a tomato base, and didn't taste like the usual chowder. It was okay. But it wasn't too big of a deal and doesn't affect my rating too much. We got the Sodel lime pie, and it was delicious. Great place to go on our vacation! read more

Good food good service, pricey but with a view. Happy hour good but quick! Chairs up stairs on deck very uncomfortable. I'll go back for happy hour and dinner occasionally! read more

Atmosphere was wonderful. We had a table with a great view of the water. Menu had something for everyone. I got the fish and chips which I would say was pretty good. I wish it would have been crispier but overall it was good. My wife, who was celebrating her birthday, opted for the filet. It came out completely overdone. Not only was it over done, it had a strange texture. To me, it didn't appear to be filet. She decided to send it back and I didn't blame her. I would have done the same and I never send food back. The second steak came out basically raw. We decided to just leave at that point. They were very apologetic. Disappointing experience with the steak, but everyone else we were with seemed to enjoy their meals. read more

Catch 54 is another wonderful Sodel concepts restaurant! Whatever season you dine at Catch 54 is always a treat. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Our most recent waitress, Lexi was super nice and attentive. The choice of menu options will satisfy any type of diner. The buck-a-shucks never disappoint. The crab cakes are delicious and go great with the shaved brussels salad. If you are vegetarian or gluten free the farmers bowl is a perfect dish! Don't forget to save room for dessert, especially the award winning Key Lime Pie. Dru always has awesome cakes and desserts. Please be kind and pack your patience, the wait is worth it! read more

Peyton is the best server. Made Mother's Day spectacular. Food was great. Again can't say enough about the service

The food here is always excellent, and you can't beat the water views. Excellent, friendly service and great drinks. I just had the striped bass served over mashed potatoes and a medley of vegetables. My wife had the scallops which is her "go to", both were perfect. One of our favorite appetizers is the mussels. You'll will want to get extra bread to soak up the broth! read more

While it may have been a hectic journey to get to Catch54, it was nothing less than a fine dinning experience. From the bread, to appetizers to the main course, the food was undeniably delicious. The restaurant decore was classy and timeless, and even had a beautiful flower entrance. The view was remarkable as you could see all the ocean activity conveniently from your seat. read more

It's not a place to go if you're black. We had to sit as about 10 other parties. One the exact size including the exact number of adults, kids and an infant all got seated before us. Once the waiting area was entirely cleared and I spoke up, our dirty table was finally ready. We had to find someone to wipe down our table and chairs and the given a sub par explanation. I didn't want to stay, but we came for a friends birthday and she wanted to stay, but I'll never be back and I'll warn any black person to stay far away from this place. Update: Management and my server Samantha promptly reached out to me to show their care and concern. My experience with my server was amazing, Samantha went out of her way to make my friends birthday amazing and make us feel welcomed. The manager showed true concern in wanting to fix the issue and for that I am appreciative and will revisit the next time I am in the area. read more

I want to give this place a 1 star review because I don't want everyone to know how great the place is. Our server, Emiley, was terrific. We are fairly new to the area and happy we found this great spot for food and drinks. read more

This little gem of a restaurant wasn't actually on our dinner plans - we were going to go down the street to one coastal, but they were only accepting reservations and we didn't have any, so we had to look elsewhere. We ventured down 54 to Catch 54 for dinner and drinks, and we were dumbfounded on why we haven't ever been here before. To start, the bar staff downstairs were phenomenal, and we ordered some drinks and oysters, and were surprised by how incredible the house oyster hot sauce was, to the point we bought a bottle! We sat down upstairs, albeit late at night, but I'm 100% certain the evening sunsets would be fantastic, as the views of the bay were beautiful. The seafood stew caught my eye, so I ordered that hoping it would satisfy my fish craving. Wow. Incredible. It's absolutely delicious. Like, it's so yummy, I had to tell the sous chef Todd that this was amazing. The clams/mussels, the fish, the shrimp and sausage, it was an incredible balance between seafood broth and ingredients, with wonderful textures from the various underwater addons paired with the crunchy celery. It was amazing, like to the point I could cry while eating it. I love food. Sure, maybe people believe they are foodies, whatever, but I truthfully enjoy exploring various flavors, especially trying the I go above and beyond my comfort zone. And wildly, to this day, my favorite bowl of soup was this pork ramen I had in Shibuya at Ichiran. It was a masterful dish that I can barely describe, just like this seafood stew, but the moment I ladled a spoonful of broth into my mouth, immediately I reminisced about the soulful and joy I felt that day in Tokyo. This seafood stew is to freaking die for, like honestly, it's just perfection. I didn't know I was going to be taken back like this by this bowl of food. I literally drank the broth when I finished, feeling absolute ecstasy and a heartwarming, yet gentle happiness with every single bite. Look, you may think I am hyping up this dish, but let it's excellence speak for itself. Hats off, this is really an experience you MUST try if you come here. I mean, I immediately felt the need to come home and write up this review. I really have to vouch for this place, and sure my word probably means nothing, but if you're ever there, and you are contemplating what to order, I swear, the seafood stew will rock your world. Also, our server Lauren was fantastic, friendly, and she was part of the reason why I tried this dinner - she had wholeheartedly recommend it, and now I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you so much Lauren, you legit made my night!! read more

So wanted to like this place as a more upscale choice for OC dining. The 5 cheese tortellini with shrimp was delicious. Drinks were really disappointing. Campari spritz was all bitter, no flavor. Seasonal sangria tasted like watered down white wine, no fruit except orange slice. Chicken Chesapeake entree had good chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans but the Chesapeake part? More a cream sauce heavy on the onions and extremely light on the crab. Added on a crab cake that was no better than a frozen store brand selection. Service was quick and the ambiance is nice, but overall the food/drinks disappointed. read more

Great food and our waitress was very amenable, quick and knowledgeable about the menu. Ambiance left a little to be desired as it was loud, but the food and wine outshone any of that. We had the Brussel sprout salad with pistachio and shaved pecorino, piping hot crab dip with homemade kettle chips, swordfish steak with beautiful accoutrements of collard greens mixed with chorizo and sweet potato truffle and lastly, delicious crispy fish and chips. Had no room for dessert but will be back! read more

This place was exactly what we expected it would be. Great food, service and ambiance. Our large party ordered the steamed clams, salad wedge, mussels, crab pasta, roasted brussel sprouts, lobster bisque, and a grilled halibut. I'm usually not a fan of seafood, but all the seafood here was beautifully prepared. The crab pasta was one of the highlights. There was so much lump crab meat in the dish. Only reason why I'm not giving this place perfect rating is because of some small mishaps. Wait time was suppose to be 30 minutes, but took a lot longer. Some of the food was bland. We noticed that the halibut was a bit dry and under seasoned. Oysters came after our entrees came out and the seating is a bit tight. This is a great place for seafood and I would recommend it to anyone in the area. read more

This review is based solely on the noise level of the restaurant. Our party of 3 waited in the bar for a table to be available. It was unpleasant due to a noise level so high that conversation was nearly impossible. We hoped that the dining area would be quieter. We were then taken to the dining area and that was just as unpleasant as the bar. At that point we decided to leave. Too bad. This looks like it might be a good restaurant & the staff was courteous but the acoustics spoil everything. For reference, we had previously eaten at a few other restaurants in the area. All were noisy but tolerable. This was the worst. read more
