The food is absolutely outstanding, which is a pleasure to find outside of a major city. Get the brussel sprouts for your starter. They are much better than you've had elsewhere, I suspect.

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.

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.
