    Spinach salad with chicken.
    Gilbert G.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a cute spot for brunch in downtown Lewes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My wife, two sons, and I ate in the enclosed outdoor patio as the main restaurant was crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My wife enjoyed an omelette with home fries. One of my sons had a salad with chicken. My younger son and I had the artisanal sandwich (chicken with avocado and brioche). To be honest, it was kind of meh. I would stick with traditional items (like the omelette). For the location and service, it's a nice place to dine.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place was adorable![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Limited seating so get there early.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was fresh and delicious and the coffees were great! We'll be back for sure.

    Stylish spot for breakfast! No fuss and fairly good options overall. More gluten free options would be great. Had some friends in town and we decided to go here. Everyone was very satisfied with their orders, my gluten free self included. Would absolutely come back here!

    Lox Egg Benedict.
    Michael F.

    Eggcellent service. Eggcellent food. Lox Egg Benedict and Norwegian Bagel Sammy was amazing. We camp at Cape Henlopen every year and just found this place. We will return for more eggceptional food. Service couldn't have been better. They were extremely accommodating of our party of six.

    French toast

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice restaurant in town.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good service. Meals arrived quickly and were really tasty. Large portions, good value. The Strawberry French toast was more than I could eat in one sitting, so I took it home.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]5/5 ambiance[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 5/5 service 3/5 food [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really cute spot in Lewes. Lowkey, diner ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was mediocre. The granola didn't pair well with the French toast and was stale. There's a lot of potential in this dish, could consider topping with toasted pecans, whipped cream or mousse, and caramel drizzle - remove the granola and raisins.

    BLT sandwich
    Brittany Anne O.

    Came here for brunch on a weekday and was pleasantly surprised to see the restaurant busy with patrons. There were several specials on the menu that were seasonal and available for purchase. Since it was fall I ordered the pumpkin pancakes. The cakes were light and fluffy with a subtle pumpkin flavor. I could have gone for a bit more spice, but I enjoyed them nonetheless. We also ordered a BLT which came out with crispy bacon and a generous serving of avocado. The service was quick and friendly and we enjoyed sitting outside because the weather was mild for November. There were lots of beverages to choose from -- coffee, tea, and chilled drinks. A great spot for breakfast or a relaxing lunch.

    Eggcellent is a quaint spot for breakfast best suited to small parties
    Courtney K.

    Bottom Line: Quaint spot for pairs or small parties to have breakfast or lunch. My husband and I had a Sunday morning breakfast at Eggcellent on Market Street. We enjoyed the quaint atmosphere, whimsical artwork, attentive service and variety of breakfast options. My husband enjoyed a huge omelette full of veggies and I branched out form my normal high-protein breakfast for French Toast. The French Toast had whipped creamer, fresh berries, granola and cinnamon on it so it was surely a decadent treat. We washed all of that deliciousness down with black coffee. We visited Eggcellent on a Sunday morning in March about 8am and I was surprised that it wasn't very busy. I suspect the crowds come later. Hopefully those crowds come in parties of two or four because Eggcellent is rather small and probably only seats about 45 people between a few tables on the front porch, a back patio (I think) and the tables inside. In other words, I wouldn't bring my rowdy friends here for breakfast but I certainly enjoyed Eggcellent for a peaceful and delicious start to the day and I'd be happy to return.

    Eggs Benedict.

    Food was Eggcellent. Our waiter was excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We needed pet friendly location after our camping trip and this was perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were in a sun room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll be back !

    This small café has a cozy outdoor seating area where we decided to sit. We were seated right away, and our waiter was very kind. We ordered avocado toast with two eggs and just the right amount of sliced potatoes on both dishes. I went with the veggie omelette with American cheese, which was cooked just right. Afterward, it's easy to walk around and explore the nearby shops. Parking is conveniently located about a five-minute walk away.

    We went here today for lunch and were seated immediately even though it was crowded, which was great! We all had sandwiches and they came with fries. Their fries were very crispy and yummy! We all really enjoyed our sandwiches as well! We will come back again for breakfast when we are in Lewes.

    I love Kindle for their consistent food quality and service. They do not accept reservations so…read moreexpect a wait for large parties or when they are busy. Their Thursday night steak special is great. An 8oz of filet mignon and a 10$ credit towards a glass of wine for $35. The cheeseboard is also really good. It comes with honey and fig jam, nuts, pickled vegetables, and some other things. It's nice to nibble on while having drinks before the entrees. The desserts are lovely too. Our favourites are the lemon cake and whatever cobbler they have. Just scrumptious.

Service was extremely slow, ( we ate early and the place wasn't that busy). We ordered cocktails and then we find out (one at a time), they couldn't make mine (I'm not really sure why), then the other cocktail from there cocktail list -they ran out of ingredients....like really?? My appetizer was ok, was hoping for it to be a little better (the shrimp & polenta). We also had olives and the baked Brie. Entrees 2 pork chops, mine was a little thinner than our guest. He really enjoyed it; I did as well as I got closer to the bone it was better. The first couple of bites seemed to be dry. We also had the lamb shank and a burger to go with our Black Stallion Cabernet. We will be back again supporting local independent restaurants. I do wish they had 1/2 stars, I would then give it 3.5.

I two of us had the salmon, my husband had the scallop and raved about the sauce. The lobster was fresh and tender. Salads were fresh and beautifully presented. Lovely setting and view.

    Steak and Cake Special with a Canal View…read more Tried Harbor in Lewes, Delaware, located right along the canal in the downtown district, and it definitely leans toward the upscale side of dining in town. As soon as you walk in, you can feel that polished, higher end atmosphere, and the canal views make for a really nice setting. I went during the off season in early March and caught their Wednesday night Steak and Cake special. For $36 you get a six ounce filet mignon, a crab cake, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a Caesar salad. For a restaurant of this caliber, that's a pretty solid deal. The Caesar salad came out fresh and crisp, and for the first time ever I noticed something you rarely see anymore -- two small sardine strips on top, which is actually the traditional way to serve a true Caesar. The entree was nicely plated. The filet was ordered medium. Parts of it were cooked perfectly and very tender, though a couple bites were a little chewy. The crab cake was the highlight. Very meaty with minimal filler, which is exactly what you want this close to the Delaware coast. Mashed potatoes had that homemade style with a few lumps. Some people love that rustic feel, though I personally prefer them a little smoother. The green beans were simply steamed but had great flavor. Service was excellent. My waitress Kim was friendly, attentive, and very accommodating. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept, including the restrooms. Overall, a very enjoyable meal with great flavor across the board. I'd definitely come back and would be curious to see what the atmosphere is like here during the busy summer season.

They focus on "whimsical dining" here and it just really shows as a through line through the whole dining experience. We started dinner with two cocktails, they made my extra dirty gin martini beautifully! And it was ice ice cold. My fiancé had their Hoagie-hattan and he really enjoyed it! We had the cheese platter and escargot for our appetizers, the escargot was definitely the star here. So garlicky and warm. Absolutely delicious. I had the lobster ravioli and he had the short ribs. Both were absolutely DELICIOUS. The ribs were fork tender and the ravioli were packed with seafood flavor. Definitely a must try in downtown Lewes!

None are as good as the original. The escargot were very de pod of garlic. Even trying to taste the for garlic it only tasted of parsley. This is a basic fail! Sorry nice half the year in France. I have never had escargot served this way. The chef is supposedly from nice. I had the hangar steak. And frites. It was good to excellent and $45. A little pricey for a hangar steak but it was copious and I took it home. So I guess that gets a good to excellent but expensive. My two colleagues both hotter short ribs. They were moist and small and surrounded by celeriac purée. The wine was expensive at $16 a glass. So $48 for three large glasses. All in all an ok meal but it cost over $200. I say go get a steak at rare or 1776 or harvest tides. Service was excellent. Ambiance was charming.

Once I saw shrimp and grits on the menu, I immediately zeroed in on that. I love shrimp and grits going back to my Winchester days. Succulent shrimp, cheesy grits, and a nice porky meat to give it extra character. Here they use chorizo. But ham or bacon are good options as well. I also like that they give you eight big pieces of shrimp. Not like other restaurants that only give you two or four prawns and call it a day. The crab bisque is good too. A tasty soup that works well this time of year. Even though it was cold the first go around, the second one tasted hot and fresh. Of course it would taste good. The Delmarva region is abundant in crabs. Just as I would expect a clam chowder to taste great in New England or Manhattan. One thing to nitpick, it should come with oyster crackers, not saltines. They work better when it comes to a bisque or a chowder. Besides that, I have little to complain about.
