Best of all our server Chelsea, so very nice, helped us navigate through this culinary experience and was spot on with all her recommendations. You should make Reservations and you must be done within 2 hours. Your server will help you keep with the time, which is very helpful. The prices are good and worth every penny. I can't wait to come back her. And we will request Chelsea's section, she was absolutely fantastic!!

There used to be a restaurant called Jerry's that was at this location and unfortunately it closed…read morea couple of years ago. I was curious what took over that property and saw it was an oyster house. I was craving seafood and this was just the right place to feed those cravings. The inside of the room was updated and looks much better than what it looked like under Jerry's. The menu is small but everything looked pretty good. They had a print out of all the oysters that have to offer, I think it was at least 8 different types, with a description of what they taste like. I would say their description was spot on. Half a dozen oysters were $18. I liked the mignonette that came with it in a dropper bottle. Very nice touch. I also got the jumbo shrimp cocktail and boardwalk fries. The shrimp were huge, like 2-3 bites worth and the cocktail sauce was perfectly balanced. I didn't care for the boardwalk fries, they were dry and the old bay & vinegar seasoning was good but hardly noticeable. Lastly, our server was friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back here again! One last thing, I took a star off for the bartender with his hair tied back, who was singing along with the alt rock songs that were playing in the restaurant. Loudly. And for an excessively long time. It was so weird. He just kept singing for 2 songs.

The staff and other patrons are always friendly and the drinks and food are delicious. But I just want to make a request. We went last night with friends and I was dismayed to see that you are removing the Asian Bistro Salad from your regular menu. I was lucky last night that it was on your specials menu. I would just like to ask that you please consider keeping it on your regular menu. Besides that it is delicious and hearty enough for a meal, I am vegan and that salad and the hummus ( without the cheese) are the only two items I can eat there. My husband (not a vegan) and I wouldn't be able to come to the P&P to eat if there's nothing for me to eat, nor would friends go there with us, either. I am sure non-vegans love that delicious salad, too, so if you would continue to offer it, I would be very happy because I want to continue to eat at the Pig & Publican. Thanks for your consideration !

I asked the waiter how they don't have a Michelin Star. He said "I don't think we are in the right market for that" . Moving here from LA recently and enjoying my fair share of Michelin restaurants in my time, I'm 100% certain, if it were in any big city they would 100% have a star (or 2).

The service was also spot on.

Worth ordering if you're going. The setup is casual: you order at the counter and the food is brought to your table, which keeps things moving even when it's busy.

That said, the staff was really nice and the atmosphere was lively. Good spot for a casual bite, especially if you're in the mood for pizza, salad and wine.

The artichokes were the only part that wasn't as enjoyable as a bunch of them were pretty fibrous, perhaps the choke parts not fully cooked or removed.

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.

For dinner, we had a wonderful seat in the corner with a waterfront view. This is a lovely restaurant. Service was excellent as well. The mussel appetizer was delicious - white sauce with the crusty bread was so good. Crab dip was ok. The lamb shank special was also delicious - meat was braised fork-tender. The mahi mahi special was good, maybe a little dry, but I really enjoyed the bed of wild rice that it was served with, a little chew and lots of rich flavor. The disappointment of the night was the brisket - I suppose after having brisket from Texas, you're forever spoiled and can't help but judge everything to that standard. It was dry and a little tough, not a lot of flavor. Overall highly recommend, this remind one of my favorite Lewes restaurants.

I think they should have that said on the menu since I wouldn't have ordered if it was thigh. Maybe I would need to come back and try the breakfast food since that looked good.

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.

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.

The common theme in many of the reviews for Striper Bites is "...it's a favorite of the locals..."…read more Lewes, DE is one of my favorite places for quick weekend trips, and after visiting Striper Bites quite often, not only is this place a favorite of the locals, but for us "tourists" also. Located in the quaint downtown, Striper Bites pays homage to Lewes' history as a former Dutch whaling and port city with nautical themed decor. Large wooden barrels, ship steering wheels, mounted fish and nets adorn the walls and accent the dark wooden furniture and color palette. There is a diverse menu, but when I'm in town with friends and family...I keep it simple. I'll usually start with one of the many beers on draft; check the chalkboard for what's on tap from the ever changing selection. The crab dip is an AMAZING appetizer. Chunks of crab meat are mixed in with cheese, given a quick bake, and served with buttered toast points. Great for sharing. You can also ask for additional pieces of bread (which I usually do) to sop up any residual dip. The bistro burger is nothing fancy...but everything a good pub style burger should be. A well seasoned angus beef patty is grilled is topped with aged white cheddar, bacon jam, house sauce, arugula, and nestled in a briche bun. The side of fries are also nice and crispy. Honestly, I've had the fish and chips, the fried shrimp, and other seafood dishes, and no suprise, it's all good. Service is always friendly, but not always as "prompt" when it gets busy - which in the summer during the high tourist season - but that's to be understood. Every town needs a neighborhood gathering spot like Striper Bites.

But the real star of the show was the coconut, pineapple, jalapeño chicken. Sweet, spicy, tangy, and full of bold flavor in every bite. It's one of those dishes you think about long after you leave. The wings were another knockout -- crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and tossed in sauces that hit every flavor note you could want. And nothing goes better with all of that than an ice-cold beer, which they have plenty of on tap. Great selection and served frosty -- just the way it should be. We came in with the whole family and everyone had an amazing time. Lively but not too loud, upbeat without being overwhelming -- it's a place where you can relax, laugh, eat great food, and feel totally comfortable. Highly recommend -- we'll definitely be back!
