One Coastal is my favorite restaurant, so, not surprisingly, our meal was wonderful. All of the items we ordered-that agrobay field greens and rockfish and catfish entrees- were excellent, the drinks were great and the service was flawless. It's our go-to restaurant whenever we're in the area and can get a reservation.

We sat at the bar for the first time and found it very comfortable. The cocktails were inspired, food wonderful and service great. Menu contains items not found elsewhere in Rehoboth (mushroom bruschetta, grilled octopus ) and more traditional items are prepared in a different manner (beet salad) that was amazing.

Wow!! Excellent on every level! From the moment we walked in, the staff is so friendly, the food and drinks are stellar! Bacon wrapped dates... Yes, please! Had the wagyu burger which was cooked to perfection... Kevin (chef) is amazing and so welcoming. I cannot wait to come back here! One of the best dining experiences I've had. Worthy of the drive wherever you're coming from!

About the restaurant
What started as a food truck concept in 2019 then became a beachside bistro in 2021. The Federal, located just a short block from the famed Rehoboth Beach boardwalk has become a full-service, beach casual, fine-dining bistro. The demure restaurant now hosts the two concepts in one space - you can enjoy fritters before dinner, for a happy hour snack, or go for a boardwalk stroll. Federal Fritter menu features a variety of crisp, poppable & snackable fritters, while The Federal menu expands on a way of eating that best defines Todd & Ellen's culinary style, the menu reads like a postcard from the Mid-Atlantic. Chef Gray pays careful attention to the seasons, honoring what the Delmarva region harvests.

OUR MANTRA
Travel through the moon gate to Bodhi Kitchen, modern Asian cuisine with a twist located in Rehoboth Beach, DE. Bodhi's brand is minimal yet bold, utilizing the iconic shape of the moon gate to transport diners through the garden and into the escape that is Bodhi.

THE BODHI KITCHEN PHILOSOPHY
Bodhi Kitchen features an innovative Asian-inspired menu with flavor-forward dishes riffing on Thai, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese flavors to create something entirely new. This is our modern take on street food and Asian night markets.

Please note that the Bodhi Kitchen staff will try to accommodate any request(s) made but all requests are not guaranteed.

We love Bodhi! Their food is fresh, creative and delicious! It is one of our favorite places in the area and have gone several times already since our recent move to DE. Their soup dumplings are a MUST HAVE each time (we always get 2 orders!), as well as the kimchi fried rice with pork belly added! The bam bam shrimp bao buns are also worth getting each trip, as well as their scallion pancakes!!! They have a small menu overall, so each dish is very well thought through and have purpose!!!
