Reviews for The Blue Hen in Rehoboth Beach, DE

Ate here after hearing good things from a variety of people. We used to, and still do, stay at the Avenue Inn, but hadn't since... the restaurant opened. So glad we ate here. Service was good, server friendly without being overly familiar and wasknowledgeable about the menu and wines. Cocktail was well mixed and tasted great. The fried oysters with basil pesto weredelicious (pictured). My wife had the acorn squash soup, also amazing. The flank steak (pictured) was cooked perfectly mediumrare and paired with the red shishito peppers was a surprisingly good combination. We enjoyed a passion fruit cheesecake wherethe fruit flavor balanced the richness of the base cheesecake. Overall a good experience and when we return to Rehoboth nextyear, we'll definitely eat here again. Read more

Absolute perfection. 1st time, and happily not our last. We had delicious fried oysters, delicate & fluffy biscuits, crab... pasta & soft shell crab. Everything arrived at the table hot, fresh & pretty! Our server was Dani, she took great care of us. Definitely get a Frose'.. it was fabulous ! Read more

100% recommend. Everything we had was fantastic, so I don?t think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. We had the oysters... and lobster toast to start, the biscuit, the scallops and the striped bass? all phenomenal. And their espresso martini reallymight be one of the best. We got there at 5pm on a Weds, and there was plenty of availability. It definitely filled up around6/6:30 tho! Read more

Out first visit to this restaurant based on good reviews here. We were not disappointed. We were prompted seats outdoor around... 7:30 pm on a Friday evening. My partner had gazpacho soup and I had caramelized cauliflower as appetizers. Both were excellent.For entrees, he had striped sea bass and I had fried chicken. Again, they were superbly cooked and delicious. My partnerfinished off with a flourless chocolate cake as dessert. Compared to a couple other restaurants nearby such as The Salt Air orUnwind at the Beach, The Blue Hen's menu is more limited. There are only about six choices for entrees, one of which wasactually a burger. I wish it had more choices. Read more

We are frequent diners here and have always loved it. The food and service are consistently amazing, which is why we chose this... venue for our son's wedding. Our expectations were surpassed! Heather and her staff made the planning process smooth and stressfree, and handled everything on the actual day. Our guests loved all of the food and beverage offerings and the staff could nothave been nicer or more accommodating. Thank you for a memorable event!! Looking forward to our next dinner! Read more

We enjoyed our dinner here. We got a side a macaroni, the seafood platter, asparagus soup, and the lobster toast to share for... dinner. The seafood platter was good, but a bit steep at $38 considering that they are only giving crab claws instead oflobster now. The crab was a bit overcooked, but everything else was good. Asparagus soup was excellent and light. Lobster toastwas delicious and very rich. The macaroni was also quite good. Ambience was fun. Service was also pretty good--their littletouch of separating the soup into two bowls when we specified we wanted to share showed care. Our server did seem a littleinexperienced, but overall did a very good job. We'd be happy to come back. Read more

Eaten at this place before while staying in Rehoboth and it?s always been good, but our most recent dinner was just... exceptionally delicious. Asked to be seated outside as inside was way too covidrelaxed during omicron for comfort, and that wasa good call for us. Loved the fire ambiance and heaters. Waitress was really helpful in suggesting options. Read more

Charming, unique, delicious and amazing food/atmosphere. We ate here last night. The oysters were amazing, clean, plummy and... fresh. The chef came from chicago. She went there for art school and came back to Delaware to take this restaurant to the nextlevel and I can tell she accomplished just that. We like the fact that you can just turn and see her working on the kitchen. Ohoh oh , let?s not forget the olive oil cake. The combination of flavors were an explosion of sweetness and balanced flavors .Highly recommend it Read more
