    Brisket Tacos & Fries
    Kelly Y.

    This place is a little off the beaten path from where we were vacationing but we discovered it while on a boat and it looked like such a cool spot we had to stop in for lunch. It is really all about the scenery here and they have made you feel like you are on a vacation island from the seating in the sand and right on the water to the tree cover and big wooden picnic tables. It truly is a relaxing and fun vibes place and that to me is or was the biggest pro here. One I would totally go back for if it wasn't so far from where we had been staying. Large drink menu with all kinds of fun crushes and punches. All of the drinks we tried were refreshing and you could taste the alcohol. Big plus in my eyes! The fruit punch cocktail was probably my favorite. Think of a grown up Hawaiian Punch- hit the spot on the hot day we went. Service was great, very nice waitress that provided wonderful service to our bigger party. We got a few appetizers and lunch options. The nachos were pretty good and a nice thing to munch on with our drinks! Crabcake was okay- not the best I've had but not bad. Everyone else seemed to like their meals. My oldest wasn't happy with how overdone his burger was.... But he can be picky. The tacos also seemed to be a big hit too! Overall a decent spot for food and drinks- I think the layout, seating, and experience of it all is the best part and why I would recommend it. It's a cool place to check out for sure. Especially by boat from the Delaware shore area since it's a trek to drive to.

    Paradise grill is a staple stop during our family vacation. Drinks are as large and strong as you want them to be. Wait for dinner can be pretty long with a family of 5+ but the atmosphere while you wait it great. Once you do get seated, service is prompt. Food is mediocre but gets the job done. Most recent time we came red dirt revolution was tearing up the beach stage during the off season.

    Fun place to bring your family for drinks, music, and food. They have something for everybody.

    Came for a late lunch and ordered take out. The capers salad with grilled chicken was really good. Everyone enjoyed their food. Two people got the flounder pounder sandwich which was great. The chips were tasty too. The bar tender was quick. The atmosphere is what makes it awesome! There are many bars and areas for sitting. Palm trees, tiki vibe and lights make you feel like you are in paradise. Would love to come back for dinner and drinks and sit by the water.

    Calamari, beef nachos & a bucket drink.

    Very cool spot. Right on the water, tucked back into what seems like a retirement community or vacation homes. Lots of seating available that is spread out. Simple menu. We had a group of 14 people. Nobody had anything bad to say about their meal. Myself and 3 others got the signature flounder pounder. It was impressive. Huge piece of fried fish , seasoned really well, very crunchy breading. Not overly breaded. The fish was cooked perfectly and very flaky. I would definitely order it again. It was so good we didn't even take a picture before digging in. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because they weren't even that busy but the waits were long. We got the appetizers and some of the meals before we even got our drinks. We are a big group though and it was a Wednesday.

    2 hour wait on a Saturday evening at 7:30pm - even in August - is ridiculous. Has too much of a trailer park vibe.

    We went to Seaside Fish House on New Year's Eve for a casual dinner, and we had a great experience…read more We were seated right away, and the staff gave us a heads-up early on that the food might take slightly longer because they were so busy. 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.

Whether you are in the mood to watch a football game (Go Birds!), enjoy a relaxing dinner with friends, or sit at the bar and enjoy a drink, this is the spot. The only downside is waiting through the summer and fall for the Seaside Fish House to open again (all their staff work at the outdoor Paradise locations that are open in summer). Give this place a try if you're here in the fall and winter -- you won't regret it!

    This is truly a hidden gem in DE!…read more I was visiting family over Mother's Day weekend, and we had reservations for 5pm (note: reservations are STRONGLY encouraged for prompt seating). As a Baltimore native, I'm used to the charm of the Little Italy restaurants; pulling up to La Dolce Vita had me scratching my head. It is truly not much to look at from the outside or inside, but-- as my grandmother always taught me-- never judge a book by its cover. I'm glad I didn't. The 2 polite servers were already busy when we got there, but we were seated quickly and provided with our drinks and table bread promptly. The menu is small yet cozy and familiar. The specials were relatively extensive, also (maybe for the holiday?). My family ordered 2 appetizer specials (escargot & clams casino)-- both were alright, but I'm also not a huge fan of either. Plate presentation was nothing fancy, but still looked very nice. With any entree, you receive a side salad-- a small display of fresh spring greens with tomatoes and cucumber. Don't be off-put by the packaged salad dressing. Our table ordered: lamb Ossobucco (special), veal & shrimp Marsala, and chicken parmigiana. Due to the increasing patrons, our main dishes took a little longer to come out, but it was nice to catch up with family. Again, the presentation of the main dishes were nothing gourmet, but hearty and clean. The Marsala has a sweet flavor, which is not usually how I make it, but it was still rich and tasty. I had the chicken parmigiana, and was surprised to see that the side angel hair pasta came with meat sauce-- I later realized that it's listed on the menu (oops!). Their pasta sauce is absolutely delicious, and I wish I ordered more for bread-dipping! Save room and pack up half of your meal, because you *WILL* want their delicious, homemade desserts. Our table shared tiramisu and a cannoli-- let me tell you, they put Baltimore's Vaccaro's to shame. The cannoli was probably the best I've ever had, and the tiramisu was so light and fluffy without an overwhelming coffee flavor. For 3 people (no alcoholic drinks), the total was about $150. This is incredible for the delicious food and large portions! Please please please go here for the best Italian food on the shore!

Have been here now a few times for takeout as well as for seated dining. Every time the food has been excellent, but for this review, I'll write about our latest in-person experience. In a summer Thursday, our family had a table for seven as we went for our son's birthday and had a combination of broiled seafood, steak, sides, steamed seafood, salads, and cocktails. Crab stuffed-mushrooms, blue crab, snow crab, lobster tails, filet mignon, crab cakes, gulf shrimp. All cooked perfectly. The cocktail variety was vast and for the ~12 or so that we enjoyed around the table, each got great reviews, but the michelada may have been of the best I've ever had. Regarding the atmosphere, there are essentially three sections of the building, the bar room area, the dining area, and the market/kitchen. The bar room has live music most nights, and if you are in the dining area, it reaches you at just the right volume. Service is not slow, but definitely paced at a lesser speed than the restaurants on coastal highway for sure; if you are with good company, it works out nicely! Well done Crab Barn, we will continue to keep coming back. Love the local, unassuming vibe of this place that also carries excellent food and friendly staff!

We pulled up to The Upscale Crab & Seafood Truck without expecting much because it's been so hard to find truly great seafood in Bethany and Ocean City. You'd think being so close to the ocean would mean amazing seafood is everywhere but that's definitely not the case. From the moment we arrived, Kevin made us feel welcome. His hospitality, honesty, and passion for his food are some of the best we've experienced in a long time. He took the time to explain every item on the menu, which includes crabs, crab cakes, lobster rolls, fried shrimp, fried fish, steamed shrimp, hand-cut fries, coleslaw, and hush crabbies. What really impressed us was his honesty. Instead of trying to sell us everything, Kevin recommended the items that were at their best that day. For example, he suggested skipping the fried fish because the day's catch wasn't as large as usual. Instead, he recommended the crab cake platter and the lobster roll. And even gave us a sample of the lobster roll which is delicious. We ended up getting a dozen large crabs, which he generously gave us a discount on, along with the crab cake platter. Every single bite was outstanding. The crabs were perfectly seasoned, and the crab cake was packed with fresh crab and absolutely delicious. Without a doubt, The Upscale Crab & Seafood Truck serves the best crabs and seafood we've had in Bethany Beach and Ocean City. I'll be in town for the next week, and this will absolutely be my go-to spot for seafood. If you're looking for fresh seafood, generous portions, and exceptional customer service, don't miss this place!
