When you’re looking for a nice night out, finding a restaurant with a waterfront view is a great way to spend your evening. However, the experience is even better when the restaurant has an excellent menu. If you’re planning a night out, we’ll help you by giving you a list of the best waterfront eats in Bethany Beach, Delaware.

99 Sea Level

99 Hollywood Street, Bethany Beach, DE

The only thing better than the oceanfront view is the great food, and 99 Sea Level serves up both. This restaurant, located in the Marriot Bethany Beach Ocean Suites, serves up fresh food. With their farm-to-table philosophy, it’s not hard to imagine that 99 Sea Level is one of the most sought after restaurants in the area. This restaurant utilizes local ingredients from farms, fisheries, and even orchards to provide their guests with a unique and memorable experience.

The menu is vast, so picking just one item may prove to be tricky. If you’re with a group, you may want to start off with the Seafood Tower, which includes oysters, shrimp, mussels, and snow crab clusters. You can include the seafood enjoyment with dishes like the Bouillabaisse, which features clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops, and assorted fish in a saffron tomato broth. If you’re more of a land-lover, you may want to try the Dry-Aged Tomahawk Rib-Eye or the Whole Lamb Shank Osso Bucco.

Bluecoast Seafood Grill & Raw Bar

1111 Coastal Highway, Bethany Beach, DE

Bluecoast Seafood Grill & Raw Bar is one of the seafood staples of the Bethany Beach area.  This restaurant was even voted as one of the top 10 destination restaurants by Attache Magazine. While you’re scanning the versatile menu, you may want to get some items from the raw bar like clams, oysters, or even oyster shooters, before you make your selection for your entrée.

There are numerous exciting options that will be tough to decide on which one will make the cut. The Lobster Mac is a popular choice. The Seared Togarashi Rare Tuna is a nice addition. However, if you’re looking for something that encompasses the whole menu, the Seafood Stew may be the right choice for you.

Mango’s Bethany Beach
