So let me start with a tip that I wish someone had given us- get there 10 min before they open (4pm) and wait in line for the happy hour tables/bar seats. They have a great HH (buck a shuck!) but you can't get the deals at the tables. We got lucky and snagged two bar stools but I wish I would've known to get there early! The food was fantastic. The service was great. The ambiance is up scale casual. We actually drove from Rehoboth to go and then found out there is one IN reho! Duh. We'll have to see if that one is just as fabulous. Another tip- you cannot see the actual sunset from here even though it's right on the Bay. Trees in the way. Pretty sky though. Can't wait to come back on our next trip to the beach!

We were looking for somewhere to get an early dinner on Christmas Eve. After calling numerous places, the sodel concepts restaurant group seemed to be the o it restaurants open. When we arrived they had a lot of empty tables. As we were leaving, they really filled up. I got the crab cake special ($26 platter on Tuesdays). I def recommend it. The crab cakes were mostly shredded crab vs claw meat but no filling that I could tell. The mashed potatoes were the best I ever had. I normally don't like mashed potatoes but the other side option was Cole slaw and French fries and I didn't want that. The string beans were crispy. I just wish there was more sauce. I think the sauce was lemon butter and I would have loved a side of it to dip my crab cakes and bread and string beans and mashed potatoes.

As you can see from my last review in June this is one of my top five local favorite happy hour restaurants, because of the quality and consistency of the food and the service. When they open at 4 pm there is usually a line of people waiting to enter for happy hour during the summer season. We usually wait until the off season to visit as we did on this last Wednesday in September. We arrived at 4:05 pm. The happy hour tables in the bar area were full, but we were able to sit at two bar stools. On Wednesday's a 25% discount applies to non happy hour menu items. I started with my papas margarita for $8. I also enjoyed my dozen of Sewansecott, VA. buck a shuck oysters. My oysters were well shucked for my slurping. I also enjoyed my two pineapple martini's for $8 each. I also enjoyed my tuna poke for $15. Bartender Lauren served us very well. We discussed other Sodel restaurants and staff with Lauren. Lauren was very customer friendly. My total bill was $91. We agreed we will continue to return here for happy hour during this off season.

Excellent apps, especially the baked oysters, salmon tartar and raw bar. Had the jalapeño corn soup, another good choice. Don't skip the tartar, it is different than others and with the avocado and cream cheese it balances perfectly.

We took a little hiatus from traveling to Bethany to come up to the Bluecoast but finally we returned again! We got here 4-15 and were seated immediately little changed on the main menu but we decided on the Conch Soup & Butternut Squash bisque for starters they were both delicious. Our Mains were the Fish Fry lightly battered cod with Boardwalk Fries and coleslaw. Lobster Cavatappi bacon, peas , white cheddar Mac sauce with herbed bread crumbs. The BlueCoast to me always comes off as an old sea shack update to a somewhat elegant dining experience with great Salt Pond views! The better half loves the Bread Pudding with ice cream so of course that's her finisher. Always great Food, great service, great atmosphere here. We'll be returning.

Food and service were amazing! Had raw oysters sampler, crab deviled eggs, fried lobster tails, lobster cavatappi, and shrimp and grits.

Bluecoast is a fantastic dinner spot with welcoming service and excellent drinks. The food was delicious, with standout dishes including the calamari and the lobster cavatappi, which came highly recommended by our waitress. Although there was a bit of a wait initially, our small party comfortably sat at the bar until our table was ready, and the transition was smooth. The experience was well worth the wait, and I look forward to returning to try more entrees.

Bluecoast is a popular spot in North Bethany Beach. The squat, unassuming structure sits on the side of the highway and doesnt look like much while driving by at 40+ MPH. I'm so glad we finally stopped and decided to try it! The front porch area is full of pillow-covered Adirondack chairs, benches, and small tables perfect for appetizers or happy hour drinks. There is also a covered area with some seating. You enter into a seating area and a large bar. Walking past the bar the restaurant opens into a large room with tables and booths. The servers are quick and efficient while still polite and friendly. It's clear they are pros, and know how to manage a busy restaurant. The menu has something for everyone, as well as an extensive wine menu and daily drink and food specials. If you like seafood this is a must-visit spot. There is a raw bar selection and a wide variety of seafood dishes. We will absolutely be back. Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 (extremely loud) Value: 4/5

We got to this restaurant before it opened and there was already a line. Make sure to get here early or be prepared to wait! We got the oysters which were great. Make sure to get the oyster of the day for happy hour. I thought they were all $1 and was surprised once the check came. The calamari and deviled eggs were also good. We accidentally got someone else's oysters and gave them to the people next to us. In return they bought us the chocolate cheesecake which was pretty good. It was super light and creamy but the crumble on top helped balance it out. Ambiance was typical for a beach restaurant.

Came in for a quick little bite because this place was recommended to us since we were in for a quick visit. We ordered scallops and oysters. The scallops were cooked to perfection super soft and fluffy. The oysters were delicious also. Our waitress was very nice and answered all the questions we had. It was definitely worth the stop.
