Thanks to those who provided dining suggestions. Thought I'd give you some feedback on the places I ended up eating. In Lewes (which I learned is pronounced "Lewis"), my partner & I had dinner at Striper Bites. The restaurant used to be a private home and now consists of two dining areas: the pub-like inside and the protected porch, where we sat. We split a salad of a wedge of iceberg lettuce topped with blue cheese dressing, accompanied by tomato quarters, crumbled blue cheese, chives, and slivers of yellow and red pepper. Very visually appealing but ordinary. I ordered the crab cake, which turned out to be a mistake. Not only was it mostly filler and utterly bland, but it was served atop a mound of steaming mashed potatoes -- spoiling any crispness it might have obtained in the pan. The mashed potatoes were flavored with rosemary and quite good. Steamed veggies on the side weren't noteworthy. My partner's seafood pasta, on the other hand, was delicious... Lots of moist, plump scallops and shrimp in a rich and slightly spicy tomato sauce over fettucine. For dessert, we split the berry cobbler a la mode, which wasn't cobbler at all -- just warm, lucious blackberries in thick syrup, garnished with mint and whipped cream. With one glass of wine and one of beer, the bill totalled about $55. The next evening we ate at Espuma in Rehoboth and enjoyed a fantastic meal. (Espuma means spray or foam in Spanish -- as in sea spray.) We ordered a bottle of Rioja (I don't remember the vineyard) and gobbled up the complimentary country bread served with black olive tapenade and two heads of lovely, warm roasted garlic. We started with pan-seared foie gras with pistachio & onion confit and warm fig strudel. Awesome. My partner then had potato-crusted Chilean sea bass with a spinach & white truffle sauce and brandade potatoes, and I had porcini-seared filet mignon atop a crispy risotto cake and truffle fondue. Both entrees were served with beautiful baby steamed veggies. The truffle essence in the dishes was heavenly. The fish was wonderfully crisp on the outside and meltingly tender within. The filet was grilled perfectly, as ordered. For dessert, we shared blueberry strudel, which, unfortunately, wasn't served warm. If it had been, it would have been stellar. The bill was $115. I look forward to eating there again someday!
