It was my wife's birthday and it was our first time here.
Wine menu is kind of peculiar, not a lot of brands most people will recognize.
The manager said the buy from small vineyards.
So it will be hit our miss on the wine.
Food was outstanding except for the oyseters Rockefeller,
For some reason it was a lot of breading and no chese?
Very bland.
Cheese board excellent
Oysters excellent
Clams excellent
Shrimp excellent
Dessert excellent
Service excellent
Its the best seafood I have had in Rehoboth Beach so far.

Henlopen City Oyster House: A Coastal Gem Worth Craving
From the moment we sat down, everything just clicked — prompt service, warm atmosphere, and a menu that knew exactly what it was doing.
We shared seared scallops, creamy clam chowder, two rounds of ultra-fresh oysters, and the standout: lobster mac and cheese, rich and indulgent in all the right ways. Every dish felt thoughtful, fresh, and full of flavor.
Prices were reasonable for the quality, and the experience left us already planning our return in the off-season. This place is more than a dinner spot — it’s one you’ll keep thinking about long after the last bite.

The food here was excellent. The oysters were super fresh and everything we ordered was really well prepared. You can tell the kitchen knows what they’re doing, and the quality of the seafood really stood out. Service was also friendly and quick.
The only thing that caught us a little off guard was the vibe when we first walked in. My wife and I went together and it seemed like the place had a very specific crowd and atmosphere that we weren’t really expecting, so it felt a little different for us at first. That said, everyone was nice and the food was great, which is what really matters.
If you’re looking for really good oysters and seafood, this place is definitely worth trying.
