During our vacation in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, we discovered the charming town of Lewes and came across a truly special restaurant: Bramble & Brine at The Buttery. It’s not just a meal here — it’s an experience I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Historic Charm & Unique Atmosphere

The restaurant is housed in a historic little building with so much character. From the moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by vintage décor and a nostalgic, carefully curated ambiance. One detail that really stood out to me was the painting of the “Princess of Sicily,” which I had to stop and admire after reading about it in reviews. The whole setting feels both intimate and meaningful — the kind of place where history and hospitality blend seamlessly.

️ Exceptional Food

While the prices are on the higher side, the food makes it absolutely worth it. We ordered a few dishes recommended by the staff, and every one of them was outstanding:
• Crab Cake – hands down one of the best I’ve had in a long time: flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully cooked.
• French-style Oysters – fresh, elegant, and bursting with flavor.
• Lamb – tender, rich, and simply unforgettable.

Each plate showed great attention to detail and a level of craftsmanship that left us impressed.

Outstanding Service

The service here is just as memorable as the food. The staff took time to patiently walk us through the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and frequently checked in to make sure the dishes suited our taste. Their warmth and attentiveness elevated the entire dining experience.

Inclusive & Welcoming

Another highlight is the warm and inclusive atmosphere. The restaurant is proudly LGBTQ-friendly, which adds to the sense of openness and comfort. It feels like a space where everyone is welcome to enjoy a fine dining experience.

In short, Bramble & Brine is a gem — historic, beautifully decorated, inclusive, with top-notch service and food that rivals some of the best I’ve ever tried. When I return to Rehoboth Beach, this will be at the top of my list to visit again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely worth the experience!

Our Bramble & Brine dining experience was most pleasurable, an oasis of sorts, where the friendliness of the entire crew, the decor, the food, the service, were all on point and allowed us to relax, enjoy and linger–a perfect storm of a good evening. My wife and I had an excellent pre dinner cocktail at the bar, which in itself is an inviting area. For dinner, we were not particularly hungry, so ordered a few appies: the Escargot, Crab Dip Skillet, and my favorite, the Soft Shell Crab Caesar salad, which gets a “Yum”. All accompanied by a nice cabernet. As you might guess by now, loved the place. Cheers!

Simply amazing! Everything from cocktails to dessert was beyond my expectations! We were a party of three and each dish was well prepared, well presented, and delicious! Staff was friendly and professional and knowledgeable about all things on the menu. Decor is outstanding and eclectic and very well done. Will definitely be back soon!

Bramble and Brine used to be my go to fine dining spot for a fancy date night or dinner for work. Servers were dressed in white shirts and khakis, crumbs were swept off the table, wine pairings were offered, food was packaged to go in the kitchen, and the table was cleared between courses. The service was always so amazing with such an attention to detail. When I recently revisited the restaurant however, I found the atmosphere and service has tremendously changed. While our server was still amazing, and was working with only one other person in the FOH, it simply wasn’t a fine dining experience. The only thing that hasn’t changed was of course the prices. While I would never usually complain over the service or atmosphere of the restaurant if you’re going to call yourself fine dining and charge adjacent prices, that experience must be upheld for the customers.

The menus online will also almost never match what is being served. While I wasn’t able to have what had peaked my interest online, the food was all very good maybe just salted a bit too much to my taste.

Walking by on thanksgiving day I smelled something so delicious that I ended up circling back several times and finally giving up and committing to a salad and a glass of wine. I had a great time. The staff were fun, warm and welcoming, and the food was so delicious that I ended up coming back with a group for dinner the next day to taste more things.

If you’re in town, definitely plan a dinner here!

Beyond thrilled this restaurant has come back!! Cheers to the owner & entire staff, special appreciation to David our server who clearly takes his role seriously & demonstrates a sincere interest in the guest he servers. He is well versed on the menu items, confident in his recommendations & suggestions. The food was absolutely delicious-bravo to the chef in their use of creativity-sauces on all dishes were worth bottling up and selling!
The ambiance of this restaurant is one to be admired-wishing to come back and dine over and over with the hope to experience each different nook/room. The care and respect shown to the internal and external areas adds to the elevated experience for those who work here & dine here.
Hospitality, Rooted in the Culture of this community coupled with a seasonal menu of deliciousness (food & cocktails)
Highly recommended!

Not my first and not my last! I cant recommend enough that if you want the ultimate fine dining experience then you must request David to be your server. From the warm sincere greeting at the door to the “come back and see us again” the whole ambiance is just fabulous! I love the old Victorian house, especially the dishes, pony glasses, and outdoor seating. I always get treated with special touches and this time didn’t disappoint. Chef Paul and his team made me a special appetizer of Fried green tomatoes with fresh crab cake in a sauce that was to die for. Tried some new signature cocktails from Kiki at the bar… Bramble Lemonade and the Blood Orange Margarita also no disappointment there! Fresh fish of the day was Atlantic Salmon with house made ratatouille and roasted potatoes. Always end with a chocolate heaven cake. Food was just fabulous!!!

Bramble and Brine at The Buttety was the perfect location for a small brunch baby shower. David and his team were absolutely amazing! They were very attentive and accommodating to all request. The atmosphere was very elegant and simplistic at the same time which required very few decorations.

Stopped here for some drinks after dinner and boy what a treat
The decor, the names of the drinks, the drinks themselves, the bartenders, and even the patrons all came together to provide a great experience
Everyone is welcome here and I recommend bringing friends or a date, as you’re going to want to try every cocktail on the menu!
The only issue is that everything is expensive, but it’s the beach so what do you expect? ️
Hope to see this place thriving for years to come

Stopped here on a whim for happy hour. We ordered off of the bar menu which was a little more impressive than the regular menu. Every entree is $42 and every appetizer is $20 on the regular menu. That’s just too pricey to me. The atmosphere in the bar is magical though! It’s called the Pink Pony and it has a vintage circus theme. Really cool! We ordered the fried Brie and bacon (had a blueberry bbq dipping sauce) AMAZING! I ordered the lobster roll and my husband got the crab cake. Biggest crab cake I’ve seen served in a restaurant. We also got the PBn’J wings. I’d come back everyday for those alone! I gave three stars for the service because my entree and the wings came out first. Twenty minutes later my husbands meal and the other appetizer.
