    Another delicious experience at Bramble and Brine at the Buttery. We were greeted and seated by David and sampled our wine and ordered those delectable gluten free biscuits while we perused the menu. We decided on the Escargot which is prepared with three different types of butter. I chose the Caesar salad with the dredged oysters and the crispy anchovies, a new favorite. The lettuce was so tender and delicious and the dressing was amazingly flavorful without being overpowering. My husband chose the Scallops over risotto which were delicious, and very filling, he brought some home, along with some biscuits and some of my Caesar. We spent a moment chatting with Michael the bartender who takes such good care of us and of course Jahra and Miles . What a great team and what a great dining g experience! See you next time!

    An excellent dining experience. Our server Therese was very pleasant and checked in on us frequently. We enjoyed the piano music and ambiance. The surf and turf with nice sized lobster tail was delicious and perfectly broiled. The filet with it was prepared beautifully as well, but it’s petite size was a little too small for my liking, but when paired with the tail was adequate. The filet with long grain rice and mixed vegetables was good. It was ordered medium-well and that’s exactly how it came. The wedge salad was crunchy as it should be. The included bread service was appreciated. We weren’t rushed but also didn’t have to wait too long for our food so the meal timing was ideal. All in all a wonderful evening.

    For starters we enjoyed a mushroom appetizer that was out of this world delicious. Then we thoroughly enjoyed the shaved cabbage salad. We could have easily stopped there but we had already ordered the crispy rainbow trout. I enjoyed the preparation of the fish although I rarely order this type of fish. As always our sweet tooth needed a finale and the pot de creme fulfilled that ending! Heirloom continues to be a shining star in Lewes and a must go to when visiting the lower Delaware region.
