Just arrived for a months stay -would love lunch suggestions for 2 adults- all cuisines fine - moderately priced to a little higher.

Went for a very nice dinner last night at Eat Here. Beet app was different and delicious. Mains were salmon and veal meatloaf -both we're excellent. Total bill 1app and 2 entrees was $46- plus tip.

Thank you for the suggestions. A relative is now making a home made Christmas dinner so we're all set!

Looking for a nice restaurant in Riverhead or vicinity for Christmas Day dinner - any help appreciated!

had a reservation for five saturday night and was promptly seated. very nice that they have an elavator to the second floor - helped us get 2 elderly people with walking problems up there very easily. service was very friendly and professional. our group had 1 tomato soup with shrimp, entrees were 1 ravioli special, 3 sea bass specials (fantastic) and a veal soorentino. desserts were cheesecake, pears and vanilla gelato and tiramusu. 2 glasses of wine. very good food at a fair price in the theater district. bill was about $185- incl tax; tip on top of that. definitely a winner and would happily go back!

went to Tweeds last night - the clear broth clam chowder and the filet mignon are outstanding!

Sensous - thanks for your reply to my original post - it was very helpful!

here's my feedback from a visit to rehoboth beach over Veteran's Day weekend, 2011.
our group of five adults had three dinners over the weekend -

Oyster House- 50 wilmington ave 260-9193
definitely very busy the friday nite we went. clam chowder and oyster stew excellent. main couses were fried oysters, oyster po-boy and a crabcake sandwich. did not order desserts. $26- per person including tip and 2 drinks total for the table. restaurant can get noisy. staff definitely impressed with their positive attitude - glad to see you, thanks for coming in, etc. would rate this restaurant excellent.

Lupo Di Mare - located in hotel rehoboth on rehoboth ave 226-2240
went saturday nite and just got in before waiting times prevailed. 3 course special for $19- if you're seated before 6 but we ate later at regular prices. had to ask for bread even after we had been seated for about half-hour- restaurant policy? (didn't see bread on other tables). didn't take as many notes as i should have - but i know my veal meatball starter was great.as was the eggplant parm entree i had that was a special. other main's were sea bass that the three ladies raved about and a fish medley that was also rated highly. no desserts were ordered. $37- per person including tip and 2 drinks total for the table. restaurant can get noisy. would rate this restaurant very, very good to excellent

Summer House- 228 rehoboth ave 227-3895
went on thursday night and the bar area was busy and the pub area moderately busy. we knew about the 2 course for $19- special in advance but were not given the menu when seated by the host. the waitress then saw one of the menus was the wrong one and corrected it but we still did not have the 2 course for $19- menu and had to ask for it. i thought this was pretty unprofessional. we ordered off of that menu and had ceaser salads (excellent), pumpkin crab bisque and white chicken chili as starters. mains we each had the seafood combo (pick 2 out of crab cake, scallops and shrimp). sides included neva's potatoes (super scalloped potatoes), mushrooms (great big portion) and sweet potato fries. same scenario - no dessert, 2 drinks total for the table. $25- per person with tip. waitress very helpfull with a food allergy question before ordering. would rate Summer House as good to very good. not in the same league as the first two restaurants but probably not expected to being a pub/bistro.

visiting rehoboth beach in mid-november - do i need an update re which restaurants will be open or can i expect to be able to use previous threads on here and find the restaurants open?

thanks!

restaurant week is going on if you want to eat early saturday night

i've been there twice recently - both times they were very busy - delicious as always!

could you please post the address and phone number of garden cafe?

stayed at the sanibel harbour resort and spa for a 3 day business conference. had dinner at the tarpon house on the premises one night. dishes were a pan seared grouper and a chicken dish. both very good. $71- total bill including tax but not tip for 2 people.. food provided at the business meetings throughout the 3 days i'd rate good to very good.

added 2 vacation days onto the trip. first day went to gramma dots, 634 n yachtsman dr, sanibel for lunch. got there at 11:25 and people were already lined up for the 11:30 opening. every table was filled about 10 minites after openiing. dishes we had were a fried oyster sandwich and a grouper sandwich. comes with homemade potato chIps and some fruit slices. $27.45 total bill for 2 people with tax but not tip.

gramma dots was so OUTSTANDING that after the mucky duck in captiva to watch the sunset and have a drink ($10.00 total for 1 wine and 1 beer), that we went back there for dinner! dishes were the fried oyster dinner, new england clam chowder and fried calamari. total bill $42.51 for 2 people including tax but not tip. our second excellent meal there in the same day.

second day, we went to the blue giraffe on periwinkle dr in sanibel and we both had the chicken panini sandwiches. food was good and the price was reasonable. fun atmosphere with staff and patrons watching the inaugeration.

we had dinner at timbers restaurant 703 tarpon bay rd, sanibel. dishes were manhattan clam chowder - chock full of delicious ingredients! - crunchy shrimp, scallops and grouper and a red snapper dish. one key lime pie and 2 beers brought the total to $65.72 for 2 people with tax but without the tip. timbers was crowded (bus in the parking lot) and deserved to be! noticed the wait staff was all adult and did an excellent job.

hope this post helps the next chowhound going thru the area!

shouldn't be doing this when i'm overtired! the meal at taranta' also included two dessers. mini cannoli's (guava and ricotta cheese) and a lemon sorbet.

and yes, we did stop at mike's pastry on sunday morning. some great items we tried were the chocolate covered torrone and pistachios and almond cookies.!

reporting back - thank you so much for the suggestions-
the couple we were with had been to union oysters and absolutely raved about it. so we went there the first night and oddly they both were disappointed in their dinners - (salmon and seafood melody over linguini)-were'nt prepared the same way as thier initial visit. my wife and i were happy with ours- fried oysters and boston scrod) but wouldn't rave about it. waitress very friendly and professional and encouraged us to linger at the table when we were done if we wanted to.

tunamelt - thanks for the taranta suggestion!!!!!!!!!!!!- all four of us had outstanding meals. the room is very comfortable and we had a nice view from the window. the waiter was excellent - matched a glass of wine with what was going to be ordered for the entree and volunteered in advance to replace it if the customer was not happy. appetizers enjoyed were the scallops (special), antipasta and mussels. entrees were pork chops and 2 different pasta dishes. total bill with with 2 glasses of wine and 3 beers in total for the group (4 people) was $250- including tax and tip. we all considered this an excellent meal at a fair price for the quality and total experience. definitely want to return here on our next trip to boston!

report on plaza cafe - they were nice enough to give us an earlier reservation than when they actually opened to help us get to a later appointment on time -dining room is very pretty and comfortable, makes you feel relaxed - service excellent - our group had the seafood soup and shrimp wrapped in proscuuto as appetizers. entrees we had were the horseradish crusted cod and one person had a steak dish. desserts included creme brulee- delicious and a very generous portion and apple cobbler with dulce ice cream on top. our group raved about everything we had! going back next week for a special occassion dinner!

this past sunday, marathon day in nyc, took a group of 12 to La Vela. we had a reservation but arrived early and were seated asap. the restaurant decor and table settings are not fancy. our group each had an entree and shared two bottles of wine. the entrees came out surprisingly fast. service was very nice. heard a number of very nice comments about the food from members of our group. total for the entrees, wine, tax and tip $300. nice job by this restaurant on a busy day.

traveling we stayed at the inn on broadway - wanted to eat at the restaurant right there - tourenados - but the prices were just unbelievably high. walked about 2 blocks to eros and had a very nice meal. restaurant has a large bar in the center and tables encircling it - was occasionally noisy from the bar. we both had the 10 oz. filet which came with potatoes and vegetable. meat was melt in your mouth good. i had chocolate cake/chocolate ice cream for dessert and wife had the baked apple dessert both very enjoyable. waitress was very friendly and did an excellent job. entrees were $25- each and desserts were $7- and $5-. would reccomend this restaurant to you.
