Cafe Azafran is my go-to restaurant in Rehoboth Beach for its wonderful Mediterranean-inpsired menu with loads of tapas, charcuterie, cheese boards, and postres. It is an intimate yet convivial setting and, as a solo diner (unless I am with my grandparents), I always opt for bar seating and it is a very enjoyable experience, esecially with the careful attention of mixologist Evan. When last there I had a lamb slider + ratatouille (both small plates) and a vodla martini. Who coulod ask for more/

Our server was excellent, polite, friendly and professional. The food was well prepared, hot and well presented. Our only negative comment concerned the noise level from the entertainment. If we would sat any closer, we would asked for another seat or left for another dining experience.
