Two Seas Restaurant

Go for the view: Lovely setting and rooftop View -- that's what you're paying the high prices for. (See my pics for menu and prices.) The food is good, but lukewarm at best. Likely because the food runners have to carry it up two flights of steps. There are better restaurants around town with better food at cheaper prices, but if you are looking for a place where you can dine outside, with faraway views of both the ocean and Rehoboth Bay, and watch the sunset in warm weather... then this is your place. Definitely need reservations tho especially in summer. Warm welcome at the front door by the proprietor, and friendly service by a young waitress. Parking under the bldg at street level. The good: Crab cakes were mostly lump, delicious, very little filler, but on the small side. Halibut (a tad dry)and Snapper entrees were both delicious, and generous portion on the mussels app. The not-so-good: Seafood chowder tasted good, but was separated. My experience tells me instead of using heavy cream, they used milk or half half and didn't temper it properly? Fresh asparagus was too woody, someone should have peeled it or cut the stems off more. Daily veg really needed seasoning. Bbq shrimp app was overcooked unfortunately - likely bc they didn't parcook the bacon first. Yummy ending though: Desserts of chocolate cake, key lime pie, rum cake were all very good...and excellent apple pie a la mode. Special place for a nice evening, as long as you can be forgiving on some of the food.

The service was awesome, they kept the kitchen open so we could eat. The thing that was disappointing was the food. The portions were really small. The tuna and shrimp were delicious but the pasta had too much sauce and was very salty. The salad took me about 4 bites to finish and I was still hungry afterwards. Either lower the prices or get bigger portions. Other than that it was a great little spot with an awesome view on the roof.

I ate there this weekend and have very mixed thoughts. The overwhelming issue with the restaurant was it was HOT-83 degrees to be exact and I know because the thermostat was behind my head. We were told it was because a door kept opening to the stairs that led up to the balcony. I didn't think the door was opening hardly at all so if this was really the case I wouldn't eat there in the summer. I honestly think the AC was broken and they wouldn't admit it. It was hard to enjoy any food or wine because of the overwhelming heat and stale air. With the meals we ordered appetizers which included brie, firecracker shrimp, crab deviled eggs and veggie spring rolls. The apps were good and the wine was thankfully chilling in a bottle on the table. The dinner course took longer than average to come out but the seafood dishes were worth it. The pasta dishes did seem dry and I wouldn't recommend them based on our experience. Dessert sounded good but we were sweating so badly we left as soon as possible. Still, it took over 2.5 hours to finish dinner because the service was slower than average and the restaurant wasn't that busy and certainly not full. I would try this again in the winter months but am skeptical about returning at any point while the weather is warm.

Having been before after a good experience years ago, we went for what we hoped was an equally good meal. Service was the best part of our meal this time. The salads were topped with dry tomatoes and not up to 'fine dining" standard. The salmon entree ($34) was stopped with canned tangerines and had an off flavor to it. The accompanying potatoes were bland, overcooked and were darkened from age. Angel hair pasta with shrimp ($36) had some nice size shrimp on it, but the sauce was of a Ragu quality. Yes, the rolls were hot and fresh - yippee! In general, a forgetable experience and won't likely return.

We have been enjoying the many dinning options in the Dewey Beach area for many years and the Two Seas is by far our favorite. This year we came with a group of friends and they were amazed at how well we were accommodated, the friendliness of both the owners and staff and most of all how good the food was. We always tell people how much we enjoy the Two Seas and the owners and staff of the Two Seas continually show them why.
