As you can see from my more than ten past reviews over 4 years and my last review in August 2025…read morethis is now one of my top three happy hour restaurants during the off season. I will summarize my four most recent happy hour off season visits. We were first here at the bar with my six family and friends. Well finally the off season happy hour half price dinner entrees have finally returned here starting around mid October with pretty much the same entrees and menu as last year. They subsequently updated the half price entrees in early November. All items have pretty much returned here except for some new entrees. The good news is that at least two new half price happy hour dinner entrees were added including the surf and turf with espresso encrusted 4 ounce demi filet mignon with two skewered shrimps, yukon mash, tomato garnash with blue cheese in the middle of the tomato for $40 or half price for only $20. I never had espresso encrusted filet mignon, therefore I ordered and enjoyed mine medium rare. I could barely taste the encrusted espresso. I ended my dinner with my favorite Fiddlehead's draft honey porter for $6. My total bill was $111 with half price discount of $36.50 so my final bill was $77. On my second return I enjoyed my ahi tuna rice bowl with broccoli, ginger fried house rice, sprouts and ginger vinaigrette for $36 or half price for $18. My total bill was $72 excluding gratuity. On my third return I again enjoyed the espresso encrusted 4 ounce demi filet mignon, which I had ordered medium rare, but was over cooked to medium. I did not complain about returning my filet for a replacement, however I did show it to bartender Dennis. Next time I will order my filet rare. On my fourth return I enjoyed my usual cosmos and my ahi tuna rice bowl which was always properly cooked ahi style. Bartender Dennis always remembers I prefer a little extra spice, without me even asking for my Sriracha. Dennis recommended both of the above entrees. See my most recent pic of the new menu. Chef Cowan waved to me at the bar. Bartender Dennis served us very well supported by our usual excellent recommendations and conversations. Chandra and Cameron also said hello. The staff here are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. On Black Friday I purchased another $1k in gift cards for the off season from Off The Hook and Hooked in OC. Needless to say we will continue to return here for happy hour to spend our $1k.

If I could give six stars, I would! I had the best crab of my life today at Captain Mac's. Just the…read morenight before, we had a great crab dinner at another OC restaurant and gave them five stars--but this was on another level. We ordered steamed large crabs; it was juicy, and unbelievably sweet--you could taste the freshness. You break the claws and the juice literally drips out--so good. The oysters? Also insanely fresh. Just wow. The service was excellent as well. While it's not a full-service restaurant, the staff were incredibly friendly. They even welcomed my dog on the outdoor patio and brought him a bowl of ice water. The owner was kind and shared that everything is fresh, caught daily, and made to order--which explains the wait time for the steamed crabs and also what sets them apart from other places. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in the area and highly recommend it to anyone who truly appreciates top-quality seafood.

The casual seating and plenty of shaded outdoor space is a huge draw too! It's such a nice casual counter service, perfect for a family dinner after a beach day. However, I felt like the portions are cheap and the flavor is severely lacking. I think they cook everything and then add seasoning after cooking instead of cooking with it. I was chocking on tons of dry seasoning. With the amount of seasoning, it also lacked salt, so even though it had tons of seasoning, it still seemed bland. It was unreal. I won't be returning, but for cracking crabs and having something else to order for the non crab people at the table, it a good choice. I would not choose this place for getting a fish dish.

We came by on a rainy late afternoon and were the only people in line. We missed the afternoon rush…read moreand the rain must have also been keeping people inside because every other time we have driven by Upscale there was usually a line. My brother knew he wanted to try the lobster roll, but my dad asked what they recommended. The guy, who we found out later to be the owner, went through each menu item, telling us how they get the ingredients and how everything is prepared. All the seafood is brought in fresh and it is Upscale that freezes it themselves, only to thaw the day of preparation. Some of their sauces, like the tartar sauce and remoulade sauce, are homemade. The owner seemed very passionate about his business and seemed to value quality of ingredients immensely. In addition to the lobster roll we also ordered the crab cake sandwich, fried shrimp, and french fries. The order was a little pricey, but for quality seafood that is expected. We did have to wait about fifteen minutes for the food to be ready, as they were making the food right then. While I only tried a piece of the lobster roll this day, my dad and brother were instantly impressed. The lobster roll was perfectly buttered and grilled, with fresh lobster and bread. My dad said it may have been the best crab cake sandwich he has ever had. The crab cake was all jumbo lump crab and perfectly crispy on the outside. They also loved the fried shrimp and french fries. My brother always says you know it's a good french fry if it does not need ketchup and he did not need ketchup for these fries. Overall, Upscale seems to be an awesome addition to the Bethany Beach scene and is a must try for all seafood lovers. Even the non-seafood lovers may want to try it out too!

We were first here with our friends around 4 PM on Friday for happy hour at the bar. I enjoyed my two pineapple juice with vodka for $5 each. I also enjoyed my whole one pound steamed lobster with drawn butter and a choice of two sides for $30. I enjoyed my two favorite sides namely the asparagus and sweet potato fries. My total bill was $70. I redeemed my $25 Toast birthday credit to my bill so my net cost was reduced from $70 down to $45. I also applied my balance to my gift card from November 2024, excluding gratuity. I returned here again around 4 PM with my friend for happy hour on lobster Tuesday. I enjoyed my two rum and cokes for $5 each. I also enjoyed my two Big Oyster Midnight Kraken draft stout beers in a snifter also for $5 each. I also enjoyed my lobster tail jambalaya for $22, which I was able to finish this time, since the quantity was decreased due to inflation. My total bill was $41.50 excluding gratuity, which again I used my gift card. We agreed we will continue to return here for happy hour.

So let me say with certainty and confidence that Porto Pizza & Grill blew me and my expectations away. I'm an Italian Jersey born boy who's had the privilege of living in one of the pizza capitals of the world, being close to New York, New Haven and Philadelphia. Ive had the luxury and ability to sample all of my favorite pizza styles and variations, so I'm proud of my standards and tastes when it comes to Pizza. Delaware is NOT a state where I've enjoyed pizza and Italian food in general, but my goodness has my faith been restored by Porto's. As soon as a I walked in, the vibe and ambiance screamed "authentic" and "soul." My family and I knew we were in for a good meal immediately. The margarita pizza is easily the best pizza I've had the pleasure of experiencing in the entire state of DE and arguably most spots I've frequented in NJ and NY. The owners really put pride and love into their food, the service and the business as a whole. There is absolutely a lot of life this place has to offer and you can count on me returning again. My family and I will back to extract more of that fire from the people, the pizza and especially those hot burning ovens. Bravo Porto, keep it up and I pray this review aids you and brings in more traffic. Really impressed!

You know they are both the same owner or at least the same franchise even though slightly different names and a slight different array of offerings. This location at the inside area of the same plaza has seating and more seafood. They use quality bread for their oyster po-boy and and use slightly different ingredients compared to the po-boy at DB-Fries. I forget what the ingredients were at both places- you can investigate yourself, lol. I just wanted good food and to stay out of the slight rain on this particular day. The fries are fresh and well done. Better than Thrashers imo and not a line. Looking back, I probably should've gotten the lobster roll here and the po-boy at Henlopen instead because at Henlopen, it's a combination of seafood instead. Nonetheless, the seafood here was fresh and if it's not a bad day and love seafood, you probably can't really make a wrong choice Staff here is friendly.

I always appreciate when a business gives me insight like this. We promptly received our drinks and were informed of the specials, which all sounded delicious. We put in our order, and we barely noticed a delay in our food coming out. (But nonetheless we appreciated the heads-up!) I had the short ribs, and they were incredible. They were falling off of my fork because they were so tender! The mashed potatoes served with them were also great. The rest of our party ordered seafood, and everyone in the group raved about how good their dishes were. My only regret was that none of us saved room for dessert! Something that also truly stuck out to me: one of the managers noticed my grandma was cold and adjusted the temperature in the room in which we were seated. I know this isn't standard practice at restaurants, but I can't say enough how much it meant to us that the staff paid so much attention to us. Seaside Fish House is DEFINITELY on my permanent list of favorite places in Delaware now.
