    Caprese avo toast with fried egg

    Food was great - service was top notch & it was a perfect brunch spot! Only thing missing was pancakes. Charming location!

    Delicious pastries from Brule' Bakery made by Pastry Chef Dru

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful Wednesday morning not too crowded[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], great service, delicious pastry and matcha latte. My favorite was to spend a day off after a walk on the beach

    Scrapple
    Chris D.

    I really wanted to love this place more. Everything looked great but my food felt like it was lacking some flavor. I got the country fried streak and felt under seasoned. My wife and kids though loved their selections. My wife and daughter shared the waffle board and my son loved his chicken salad sandwich. The scrapple was nice and crispy. Overall, it was a fairly enjoyable breakfast.

    Belgian Waffle Monte Cristo!!  Amazing!!
    Nina R.

    I was at Lewes Beach for the weekend and we came here to Dewey Beach for Sunday brunch. I ordered the Monte Cristo Belgian Waffle sandwich that came with home fries and hot coffee. The Waffle sandwich was made to perfection with little crystals of sugar cooked into the waffles, warm syrup on the side with ham and cheese on the inside. Super indulgent. I had to take half to go and ate it later. Yummmy!Yummy!! They were attentive and I really felt taken care of. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is cozy, well lit, very popular place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend for brunch!

    Sausage Gravy
    Matthew U.

    It's really amazing that I never made it to this place in all the years I have visited. It was right there the whole time, like right next door to the hotel I was staying at. It was just there. Most likely the reason I never got here was the fact that they are open for only breakfast, brunch, and lunch. I'm not a big fan of being up and functioning at that time, let alone eating. However, my friends made sure to get me here on my last visit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Dewey Post is quaint. It has so much charm to it. During the warmer months you have the opportunity to eat outside on either the deck or sidewalk. Or, if you wish, you can dine inside, if you do, it feels like you are in the dining room of a very welcoming home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]To get to your seats you will have to pass by the display case where there are multiple pastries on display that will undoubtedly temp you to ruin your meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once I got to the table my friends were at I had a menu in hand and was looking it over. There were tons of recommendations from everyone at the table, especially since they have come before. I kept going back and forth on a few items, while I was still mulling it over I did place my drink order. I wanted sweet tea, when I had asked, they told me they don't have it on the menu, but they could put some simple syrup in their iced tea. That worked just fine for me, didn't taste too bad either. I also asked for some water. I finally decided on what to get and I went with the Sausage Gravy. This was so delicious that it had me nearly licking my plate. Not sure how they make their gravy, but it was very tasty and made me want more. But I don't think that this should be overshadowing the base of the plate. That buttermilk biscuit situated underneath it all. With each bite I took, I made sure that scooped up more and more of that gravy. making sure each bite almost was covered in it. What I liked most about it was the size of the chucks of sausage within the gravy. This is a comfort food and it definitely brought me comfort. It made me sleepy and that wasn't so bad since I just had to go back right next door.

    Local hot sauce. Not too hot, great flavor.
    Phil B.

    Delicious & different. Friendly, hospitable staff. Very personable server. A must for breakfast or brunch.

    Breakfast burrito with scrap & eggs - meh! Perhaps sausages would be better.
    sarah l.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very popular restaurant![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We waited almost an hour for a table! My chicken salad with bacon on a croissant was delicious! Will definitely order again! My friend's breakfast burrito with scrap & eggs was unfortunately not so good. We both ordered cold brew coffee and liked it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a nice bayside beach and marina nearby. Lovely![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I will have to come back to try out the food as it seems this location gets high marks. But as for the smoothies, I would pass. They're very very sweet, more ice and fruit mixed with not a whole lot of flavor.

A special thank you to Peter "Pan" for making our night so memorable. Not only were the cocktails delicious, but watching him craft those amazing bourbon creations was an experience in itself. We will definitely be taking an Uber next time so we can fully indulge in even more of those exceptional bourbon cocktails! Thank you for a wonderful evening. We can't wait to come back!

    **in response to the owners comment, we never met you. We didn't send food back nor did we request…read morenew food, and you, nor anyone else EVER brought me any additional drink on the house. I only had the one I paid for. There's no need to lie, bad days happen. This is not a speakeasy, this is a restaurant cosplaying as a speakeasy. That may be a bit harsh, it's a speakeasy in training. Sure, it's got all of the speakeasy decor, blackout curtains over the windows and doors, and a big selection of pedestrian liquor but it's not quite there. We went in on an early evening on Wed and there were maybe 5 other patrons in there. Our waitress was nice and brought us water to the high top. She brought us two food menus, and a specials menu. I asked for a bourbon list and she brought it; no prices on the list. Annoying. On the specials menu there was a small section of manager recommended drinks and one was a Willet. The way it was written was confusing because it said it was both a 4 year and 14 year for $52, so I asked for clarification on the age statement. She took the menu to the barkeep, who confirmed it was a 14 year so I said yes I'll have that. A drink was brought to me, but I could tell from the taste that it was not what I ordered. I asked the waitress for the bottle, she asked the guy behind the bar for the bottle and he pulled down a willet pot still bottle (pot still is the entry level Willet and at best a 5 dollar pour, no where near what I asked for). I told her that I was given the wrong drink, then she approached the bar and between her, and the male and female bartenders they had a weird back and forth conversation. Then, finally they pulled down the bottle that I asked for, that was advertised, and gave me a pour of it. I asked to see the bottle and the waitress brought it over but held it instead of putting it on the table (it was a 13 year Willet, Paper Trail). As we were about to order we were told that they reset the menu the very day before, with the focus of putting more love and care into the food. Feeling good about that, we ordered the French quarter catfish and the bourbon braised short ribs. The corn that came with the short ribs tasted straight out of a store bought steamable pouch, and the "ribs" weren't ribs at all, just sliced meat. The only redeemable thing about the catfish dish was the aioli; the rice had no flavor, the corn was cold and hard, and the catfish was mostly breading. We both took a few bites and resigned. I have been to many speakeasies around the US, and there are common themes: a much better selection of liquor; 95% of the bourbon were low tier bottles you can find in any liquor store for around $50. Also, when customers ask for the bottle, it isn't because we plan to steal it or drink from it, its because we're genuinely interested in the information on the labels. The quickest way to get people to stop spending money is to make them feel as if they can't be trusted touching a bottle. Perhaps it was an off day for the staff and this wasn't a typical experience, but I won't go back.

It was a great value for well crafted cocktails. I had the Papa lives mambo which was a bourbon forward cocktail, I enjoyed it though would like to try other offerings. The tomato and peach salad was flavorful with semi-crushed peppercorns and some fresh light cheese. Our bartender was friendly and efficient. The vibe is sort of fancy feeling but plenty of people walked in for reservations in nice jeans. Looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu another time.

Nothing was bad and we really enjoyed every dish. The French onion dip with the caviar and chips was delicious and the broth surrounding the scallop crudo was wonderful as well. The veggies under the salmon were perfect and while the salmon was overcooked it still tasted good. The crab pasta was flavorful without being heavy and the scallop risotto was lovely as well. Service was great with a wonderful waiter whose name I did not get but service was prompt and attentive. Ambiance is very nice, coming from NYC I prefer a small compact restaurant so Drift made me feel right at home. Overall I will 100% be back on my next trip to Rehoboth.
