Two new seasonal cocktails have hit the main bar this weekend, crafted for long June afternoons, salty air, and good company.

🏴‍☠️ 🍍 Canoot’s Cup 🍍 🏴‍☠️
Inspired by the legendary 1698 pirate raid on Lewes, when Canoot and forty pirates struck fast and disappeared into the Delaware Bay. Built with Planteray Dark Rum, RumHaven Coconut Water Rum, almond orgeat, passionfruit, apricot, a splash of pomegranate, and fresh lime. Tropical, balanced, and dangerously easy to drink. 👩‍🍳

🔥 🍈 Smoke’n Melons 🍈 🔥
A refreshing mezcal cocktail with acid adjusted cantaloupe puree, cacao cane, and chocolate bitters. Bright melon sweetness meets subtle smoke and a punch of tartness for a cocktail that’s both refreshing and complex. 👨‍🍳

It’s hot out there…☀️

The perfect way to cool off? This Watermelon Gazpacho with Marinated Tuna. 🍉

Chilled watermelon gazpacho, marinated tuna, crisp cucumber water, refreshing melon salsa, and a delicate herb oil drizzle come together in this flavor packed refresher.

Light, vibrant, and packed with seasonal flavor, it’s the kind of dish that makes a 90-degree day feel a little cooler.

Available now in both our Main Dining Room and the Gallo Room.

🧡 A Cause Close to Our Hearts 🧡

In our industry, we're taught to keep going. Work the double. Push through the stress. Take care of the guests. Show up for your team.

But behind every great meal, every cocktail, every packed dining room, there are people carrying the weight of long hours, late nights, burnout, anxiety, depression, and the everyday pressures that come with hospitality.

That's why we proudly support Celebrate Wellness.

Their mission is simple but powerful: make mental health support accessible to hospitality workers throughout Delaware by connecting people with resources, education, and professional therapy when they need it most.

Tomorrow night, Celebrate Wellness will host its annual Orange Party fundraiser at Big Chill Beach Club, bringing together the hospitality community to support mental health awareness and access to care. Their goal is to fund hundreds of additional therapy hours for local hospitality workers.

If you've ever worked in a restaurant, behind a bar, in a kitchen, at a host stand, or supported someone who has, you understand why this matters.

We encourage our friends, guests, vendors, and fellow hospitality professionals to consider making a donation, becoming a sponsor, or attending the event. You can donate as a part of the "Lewes Oyster House" team by clicking here: https://givebutter.com/c/celebrate-wellness-orange-party-mocktail-contest-copy-zogob7/teams/lewes-oyster-house-1

🧡 Together, let's make sure no one in our industry has to struggle alone.

June has arrived, and with it comes some of our favorite flavors of the year.

Chef Sean Corea and our culinary team have been hard at work drawing inspiration from the incredible farms, waters, and producers that surround us, creating a collection of seasonal dishes that celebrate the best of Delmarva right now.

Here’s just a few that are hitting the menu this weekend;

🥩 Bone-In Pork Chop Milanese
A vibrant summer salad of heirloom tomatoes, roasted peppers, shaved red onion, arugula, Grana Padano, and lemon saffron vinaigrette paired with a beautifully crisp pork cutlet.

🦀 Seared Scallops & Maryland Blue Crab
Zucchini fritter topped with jumbo lump Maryland crab, green tomato chow chow, pickled corn, fresh-picked herbs, and Old Bay beurre blanc.

🦞 Sweet Corn Ravioli & Lobster
House-made sweet corn ravioli, summer corn, cherry tomatoes, and chunks of lobster

🌽 Pan-Roasted Halibut
Charred tomatoes, roasted corn, chorizo, cilantro, and lime; bright, smoky, and unmistakably summer.

These dishes are a reflection of the creativity, passion, and craftsmanship our team brings to the kitchen every day, and we couldn’t be more excited to share them with you.

The salad for people who weren’t planning on ordering a salad (yes, that is fried mozzarella 🤯).

This is just one of several seasonal additions hitting the menu tonight, celebrating the incredible bounty of June and the flavors that make this time of year so special.

Heirloom tomatoes, lightly breaded flash-fried smoked mozzarella, arugula, chimichurri aioli, and white balsamic–prosciutto vinaigrette.

This and much more starting tonight!

Something special is landing on the spring dessert menu at Lewes Oyster House tonight. (Scroll to the end for the finished product 😃)

Our good friend Dru, who some of you may remember from our days together at Nage / Fork + Flask, stopped by the restaurant this morning for a little toasted meringue refresher before service.

Introducing ’s “Milkshake Pie.” 🍨
Oat cookie crust, “black + white milkshake” ice cream, toasted vanilla bean meringue, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce.

Cold, nostalgic, a little over-the-top in the best way possible; and honestly one of those desserts you’ll end up talking about on the drive home.

In addition, we’ll also be featuring his Chocolate Chunk Almond Cookie in both the as well as the main restaurant and an Oatmeal Cream Pie in the Gallo Room exclusively!
