One Coastal

This spot blew our minds in the best of ways. We left the restaurant extra full and weren’t mad about it. We were so thankful we made earlier reservations because we snagged one of the six ribeyes they had that evening. This farm to table dinner was one of the most savory and uniquely flavored dinners we’ve ever had. Dessert was a strawberry multiple layered cheesecake (not pictured) from their pastry chef that won some award from the Food Network—and rightly so! Even the butter had a hint of sweet freshness to it. First time enjoying monkfish too—what a tender and strong and clean tasting fish! 11/10 recommend! Our server was equally as great. She knew everything about the menu, presented great options for pairing various items together, and mentioned about the award-winning pastry chef.

Had the most wonderful experience eating dinner here to celebrate birthdays with my friend Denise. The chef was nominated for a James Beard award and it’s obvious why, but I was worried I’d feel typically out of place somewhere fancy. I was happily mistaken. The atmosphere and design inside One Coastal is relaxed and comfortable, creating a very familiar vibe for us that had us feeling right at home.

The service was attentive and easygoing. Our server Chloe was tattooed and wearing Dickie coveralls, which I loved. After I ordered a mocktail (a mojito), she later brought two flutes of what looked like champagne and said they were nonalcoholic for our birthdays! I was really touched that she considered that, and it was nice to note they pay attention to what was stated in the reservation.

The food was perfection, all the way around. No teeny tiny portions here, the plates had just the right amounts. We shared everything including:

1. Homemade dinner rolls with honey butter
2. Crab and cucumber remoulade
3. Pear and homemade ricotta salad
4. Cacio e Pepe (made with “really good butter”
5. Scallops and butternut squash
(See their site for full descriptions)
6. SALTED BLONDIE-cookie butter pastry cream, peanut caramel, chocolate mascarpone ganache, rye brownie crumble, vanilla ice cream

10/10 recommend. Will hopefully go many more times to try all the other items. Thank you so much One Coastal for such a fabulous experience!

My wife took me to One Coastal for my birthday, and this little hole-in-the-wall was an awesome culinary surprise. We had the Hen of the Woods au Poivre, the Trueth Farms grass-fed New York strip, and the cacio e pepe, and every bit of it was fantastic. The drinks and dessert were delicious too and really finished the night off right.
Shoutout to my wife for picking such a great spot, and shoutout to One Coastal in Fenwick Island, Delaware for a really great experience. Definitely worth a visit.
