Above the Dunes

Great experience, great food, great drinks

Went here for lunch, my wife was wanting coconut shrimp, thought we would see if they had it. We were a bit early, they had just opened up. Several people were at the hostess station, and when we asked if they had coconut shrimp, they apologized and said no, they occasionally have it on the menu but not at this time. After my wife said she was really wanting to find a place that had some, one of the guys said just a minute and walked away. The other guy said "that is the owner Mike, he is going to get you some coconut shrimp!" Nice!

We sat at a table in the bar area and had great drinks while we waited, had a great server "Krista". Had a couple "Crushes", an orange and a Key lime...both very good! When we got our shrimp, it was outstanding, beautifully butterflied, crispy, and flavorful! Also had grilled octopus...amazing flavor, with a great sauce. Overall, a great lunch. Thanks for doing this for us Mike!!

Later that evening, we decided to go back because lunch had been so good. It was packed, and we didn't have reservations, but one of the same people who was there for lunch recognized us and found us a great spot at the bar! Nice again!

Had a great dinner, tried a couple other items, a couple different cocktails, again very good food, great drinks, very good customer service!

Would I go back...most definitely!
Would I recommend...absolutely!

Drinks were delicious! Would definitely recommend coming for their blueberry crush. However, the food was lacking. I got a crab cake sandwich and the roll was so hard/stale that it literally could have been a brick. I’m not kidding. I didn’t take a picture but the buffalo chicken meatballs were the only food we enjoyed. Service was slow. I would really only come here for a drink and to enjoy the views.

The Dunes is an absolute gem in Rehoboth! The atmosphere is upbeat and buzzing, and the service is quick and on point. The calamari was melt-in-your-mouth tender with just the right seasoning—truly crave-worthy. The fish and chips had that perfect golden crunch with light, flaky fish inside, and the fish tacos were bursting with fresh, flavor-packed goodness. Every bite was a win. Can’t wait to go back for more!
