About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
Located in the historic district, Lewes Oyster House honors the rich heritage of ubiquitous and democratic oyster consumption in 18th and 19th century Middle Atlantic taverns and oyster houses. We serve inspired tavern fare, expertly prepared with fresh, regionally-sourced ingredients along with crisp lagers, interesting wines, and artisanal cocktails. All that, and a whole lot of love.

Please join us for lunch Tuesdays through Saturdays in the Tap Room, Oyster Bar or Main Bar. We do not accept reservations for lunch.

Walk-ins for dinner are always welcome first-come first-served at the Oyster and Main bar areas, all evening long beginning at 5 p.m.

Online reservations for dinner are VERY STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for the Walsh Room and Tap Room.

    Excellent service and food. Good portions so good value. Everyone had something different and everyone liked what they had. People sit very close tables are tight. One complaint is noise level is high. Very good restaurant.

    Thanks for the nice review Bonnie. It can get a little loud on a busy night for sure. Glad to hear you enjoyed your dinner though! See you again soon. Cheers!

    This was a special menu for a fundraiser. The occasion was well managed, the menu was a complex combination of flavors and ingredients, and the food was delicious. A wine pairing was offered, and a nice variety of selected wines complimented each course, and were served at the proper temperature.

    Another fabulous meal at LOH. We had reservation for party of 6 and had a spacious table in the dining room. Our server was prompt and attentive and the oysters were the hit of the show. We also had the burger and mussels and the grandkids enjoyed their meals from the kids menu. Great visit, as usual.

    For fresh oysters, this is our GO TO place! Great selection and always cold and fresh!!! The atmosphere is very inviting and the service has been excellent as well. The food is well done; on our last trip, I ordered the scallops and the dish was really one of the best scallops dishes I've had ever!!! WOW! There is a lot of thought and creativity put into the variety of dishes available, so always something new to try. Being located right on Second Avenue in Historic Lewes adds to the overall experience. Definitely recommend!

    One of us had a dairy allergy and the chef came out to discuss options with her. Food was great and the service wonderful.
