Fritters are the best here! The other menu items are good - but fritters!! I got corn, artichoke and apple Fritters with caramel sauce. All were good but the apple are melt in your mouth, light and fluffy and with the caramel sauce are beyond amazing. We also had the short ribs with bok choy and carrots in a balsamic glaze and the apple ginger cake a la mode. The cake definitely needs the ice cream (or actually they should offer the caramel sauce as a topper) because it's kinda dry otherwise. All in all a good meal. Definitely get those Fritters. Pro tip - if you order to go check for all of your dipping sauces. We didn't get the other two savory ones to try but didn't want to drive back for those.

Food tastes good and the food is well presented. I would have appreciated bigger sizes in sauce and some pickled vegetables to balance the fried starters.
Stuff was friendly, energetic and explained the menu, it was helpful to make our choices.

Oh my gosh, what a surprise and hidden gem! I highly suggest grabbing a meal at this place when in Rehoboth - the food is divine and the unique drinks as well! Love the gnocchi! Next time I might ask for some cheese on the strawberry and frisée salad. Do yourself a favor and try this place! The service was fantastic (we sat at the bar and the bar tender Garrett was amazing!) We loved how involved the owners were with the staff.
