Above the Dunes

We had a fantastic experience at Above The Dunes! The panoramic ocean views from upstairs are absolutely stunning and set the perfect relaxing vibe for a great meal by the beach.
Our server, Michelle, was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and provided top-notch service from start to finish. She really made our visit enjoyable and took great care of us.
The oyster happy hour was a highlight! Fresh, flavorful oysters at a fantastic price—definitely worth it. We also loved the crushes—they were delicious, perfectly balanced, and so refreshing. Everything we tried hit the mark.
Between the beautiful setting, attentive service, and great food and drinks, Above The Dunes is a winner. Whether you're stopping in for happy hour or a full meal, this spot delivers. Highly recommend, especially if you're in the Dewey/Rehoboth area. We'll definitely be back!

Yesterday we decided to have dinner here. I was super excited with my family about the reviews. Totally disappointed, first we arrived without prior reservation and the hostess told us that they had 2 hours of waiting. We went to the website and obtained a reservation with a waiting time of 40 minutes. Our waitress was amazing, very attentive. The food had no flavor we ordered 3 different dishes. We ordered the sea bass one of the most expensive dishes on the menu and the presentation was very poor, the portion extremely small. I also ordered the shrimp tacos, very poor presentation, any random street tacos would have had more flavor than those, and we also ordered lobster roll which was ok/mediocre. It’s a noisy restaurant, which we knew and we were fine with that. But unfortunately the table next to us table were shouting and inappropriately conversing while having our 8-year-old daughter with us. Something we expect a family restaurant to manage in a kids-friendly beach town. We tried to get out as fast as we could. I don’t recommend it, nor would I go back to this restaurant.

I am visiting rehoboth beach from out of town & every time I googled places to eat along the boardwalk, above the dunes is always highly recommended & let me tell you, they deserve that recommendation! Our server Emma was very nice, checked in on us without being intrusive or hovering & made genuine conversation with us. We decided to sit outside on the balcony, because even though it was 90ish degrees outside, how can you refuse that view of the ocean?? We ordered the bacon wrapped jalapeños w/cream cheese to start & it was so sooo good. I got the blackened shrimp tacos w/rice & beans & my husband got the chicken caprese sandwich with homemade chips. Everything was so flavorful, seasoned well, and cooked to perfection. We were both very impressed overall!
