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!

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting Charity, Sam, and the crew from The Dispatch with Sam Nuemann this week, and what an experience it was.

They’re on an incredible journey, traveling to 50 small towns in 50 states to uncover the real stories behind local food, drinks, and the people who bring them to life. For Delaware, they chose Lewes… and we were lucky enough to be part of that story.

From the moment they walked in, it felt less like filming and more like sharing what we love with people who genuinely get it. Their passion for storytelling, attention to detail, and appreciation for the little things that make places special really came through. It reminded us why we do what we do.

We can’t wait to see how they captured the energy of the restaurant and the spirit of this town. Make sure to subscribe to their YouTube channel so you don’t miss the episode when it airs.

Thank you again to Charity, Sam, and the entire crew for the great conversation, the laughs, and for shining a light on what makes Lewes, and places like it so special. Safe travels on the road ahead. We’ll be cheering you on the whole way.
