Three of us went to Lily Thai Cuisine in Rehoboth Beach for the first time on a recent weekday. We went for the $8.95 lunch special, which includes a salad and a spring roll in addition to the main dish.
I had the lamb eggplant dish -- the menu had it marked as spicy, but I found it to be only mildly so. I guess it's better to be cautious for those who are sensitive to heat. I enjoyed the dish quite a bit. The lamb had a noticably gamey taste, which didn't bother me. I'm just warning those that aren't familiar with lamb that they may want to make another choice.
One of my dining partners, who had never had Thai food before and was somewhat worried about finding a selection that she would enjoy, choice the Big Bowl, which was a seafood soup in a clear broth. She enjoyed it tremendously, and is ready to try Thai again.

Timothy's
The location of Timothy's seems to be jinxed. It seems to change hands and names every few years. I can't think of the most recent name of the place, but I still think of it as the Crab Barn. Anyway, I've been there a couple of times in its most recent incarnation ... Timothy's ... and I like it. They have a large beer selection (including a personal favorite, Victory Hop Devil), good burgers, and good nachos. The servers and management seem to be attentive without being overbearing.
I hope Timothy's makes it ... it seems like it will be a good place to hang out and watch some football games.

Irish Eyes -- Rehoboth Beach
It's Official - I've been to all three Irish Eyes in the area (Milton, Lewes, and Rehoboth Beach). This time it was the Rehoboth location that let me down, and all I had was a beer. The bartender told me she didn't know what she was doing ... it was her first day on the job. Well, she didn't need to tell me that she didn't know what she was doing when she served me a glass of foam. Since I paid $6 for that glass of foam, I guess that the joke was on me.

Annabella's
La Rosa Negra has changed its name again. As I mentioned in a previous post, the restaurant has been for sale.
It's now called Annabella's, and it describes itself as an italian retaurant and bakery. I haven't gotten a chance to check it out yet.

Beseme
I met some friends at Beseme for a quick bite at Beseme, the restaurant at the Hotel Rodney in Lewes. I had a bison burger, and we shared some sweet potato fries. The burger was everything a burger should be, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the fries (I was expecting that there would be too much sweetness for my taste).
Anyway, I plan on checking out Beseme further ... I definitely enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and the friendly staff during my first visit.

Frankie's
This review takes us out of the cape region, all the way up to Dover.
Frankie’s is the new Italian Restaurant at Dover Downs. I was seeing a comedy show up in Dover, and we decided to give Frankie’s a shot since it was near the site of the performance. Wow … really poor service. We decided to split a pizza, and after an interminable wait and a few glasses of wine, the pizza arrived. Cold. As in, it had probably bee pulled out of the over 20 minutes prior to delivery to our table. We were almost late for the show, so we didn’t have time to complain or send it back. Lesson learned. I would NOT recommend Frankies.

Zorba's
Zorba’s is a smallish, informal Greek restaurant out on Highway 1 in the Food Lion Shopping Center. I went there with J. J has eaten at Zorba’s many times and he loves it, so I was anxious to give it a try.
I usually order spanikopita when I have Greek food, but I decided to go for something different. I had the pasticio (which I think of as Greek lasagna) which was excellent It came with a side Greek salad, which was very nice.
I thought that the food was good, and the prices were very reasonable. In addition to all of that, there was something just a little bit extra special about Zorba’s. The server really paid attention to us in a helpful but inobtrusive way. She quickly realized that we were friends who hadn’t seen each other in a long time, and she encouraged us to stay and hang out at our booth, even though we had already paid our bill.
Overall, I’d say that Zorba’s is a pleasant place for a reasonably priced meal.
