Had the chef’s tasting menu which was perfect in every way. Each course was delicious, imaginative and expertly prepared. Started out with an arugula salad which had so many contrasting tastes and textures, followed by swordfish “belly” kabobs which were very tasty. Next shrimp linguini, 3 huge shrimp with pasta perfectly prepared, followed by a dark chocolate budino. Meal was fabulous. Companion enjoyed oysters with a caviar dressing, followed by an expertly prepared flank steak with fried olives. Every dish had a some unusual interesting preparation which delighted the palate. Drift is truly a winner.

As “locals” now after 7 years here, we’ve gone to The Parkway many times. It has always been consistently very good, and last night was no exception! I had the mushroom soup and wedge salad followed by the Sea Bass special, and my wife had the Oysters Rockefeller, pear salad, and the Ribeye special. Our server was terrific, attentive but not too much, and she was very knowledgeable about the food. Prices have gone up everywhere, so the value isn’t what it was, but that’s true at all restaurants. Unfortunately, $300+ for dinner for 2 (fully loaded with tip, several drinks, dessert, etc) seems to be the norm nowadays. Great music too, and always a friendly vibe!

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at 1776 Steakhouse, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Our waiter, Paul, was nothing short of amazing. His service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made excellent recommendations, checked in at just the right moments, and ensured our evening was flawless. Paul’s professionalism and genuine care deserve a solid 10/10! The food was equally spectacular. Every dish was cooked to perfection, from the appetizers to the perfectly seared steaks. My husband and I couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was—we were truly impressed by the quality and presentation. If you’re looking for a place with incredible food and top-tier service, 1776 Steakhouse is the perfect choice. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Excellent Food and service. We have been going to Nantuckets for more than 20 years. We prefer to eat at the high tops or bar in the Taproom. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. The bartenders Dave and Ralph are the best.

We have been dining at One Coastal for many years, predating the arrival of James Beard Award Finalist Chef Matt Kern. We were so delighted that after One Coastal changed hands we were able to enjoy the same unrivaled, creative, fresh Delaware cuisine. Tonight our family ordered the duck and the rockfish. Both were expertly executed. The flavor profiles of both dishes were unusual, cohesive, and delightful. My husband and I both enjoyed our cocktails, a Duchess and a Ryanhatten. Don't miss out on an opportunity to experience this next-level experience. Make a reservation immediately.
