    Loved the food, service and the vibe. The noise level was more than energetic, it was very noisy! We later found a spot where we could hold a conversation and really enjoyed ourselves. So, great place to have fun, not a quiet dinner.

    Best dining experience, not only in Lewes but at the entire region. Highly recommend the mouth watering Kennett Square Mushroom Carpaccio as an appetizer, followed by the perfectly cooked duck for the main course. Save room for dessert, as they’re made in house and indulge in the butternut squash cheesecake. Don’t miss out on a dining experience you won’t forget.
