Thanksgiving in Lewes/Rehoboth

Planning on taking a quick getaway during Thanksgiving and considering Inn at Canal Sq, in Lewes. Prefer nice accommodations not budget, and would definitely like to be near the water (canal or Atlantic). Any comments on this property or others? Anything special going on? Suggestions for a restaurant for traditional Thanksgiving dinner? Thanks in advance.

Haven%26#39;t stayed there, but I hear it%26#39;s quite nice. Try www.lewes.com for events. Town should be fully decorated for the holidays by then. Buttery and Striper Bites are two very good restaurants within a block www.butteryrestaurant.com %26amp; www.striperbites.com - email them to see if they%26#39;re open. Check the Inn%26#39;s weekend packages, the cooking by chefs at Nage (great new restaurant near Rehoboth) looks like it%26#39;d be fun. If you%26#39;re into pain, there%26#39;s always ';Black Friday'; at the Outlets. Enjoy!

I think that%26#39;s an excellent choice (Inn at Canal Sq) %26amp; Lewes has so many great shops %26amp; restaurants. A lot of them post their menus outside so it makes it easy to choose one.

Thanks so much for all your suggestions. I will look into them all.

Victoria%26#39;s Hotel in Rehoboth (right on the ocean) is lovely.

We had Christmas Dinner at their restaurant last year. It was wonderful!!!

The Second Street Grill in Lewis is very good also!!!

The Broadway Plaza Hotel (is the name of the hotel) The restaurants if Victoria%26#39;s

If you are into Thanksgiving buffets, I heard that the Rusty Rudder in Dewey Beach has a nice Thanksgiving buffet. I have never done it but, I have heard others that enjoyed it very much. You probably will need to make reservations. Of course since you stated that you aren%26#39;t on a budget, you might try something more upscale. Reservations are recommended for all restaurants on Thanksgiving day though.

You might consider a condo, depending on how many people in your party. We own one in a building that%26#39;s three lots back from the ocean in Dewey Beach. We don%26#39;t rent ours after Labor Day, but our next-door neighbor does. Don%26#39;t know the rate, but I suspect it%26#39;s at least competitive with Inn on Canal Square . . . and I guarantee the view is WAY more spectacular, not to mention the SPACE! 4-BR, 4Bath, LR, DR, kitchen. Downside is you have to bring your own linens . . . but believe me the difference in view would be worth it! (And I think there%26#39;s a rental place that would actually provide that stuff if you don%26#39;t want to be bothered.)

I know our neighbor%26#39;s rental agent is Coldwell Banker on Route 1 in Rehoboth. The address of the condo would be 12 Houston St. Unit A. (We%26#39;re B -- maybe we%26#39;ll see you there! We usually come down for the weekend after.)

We%26#39;ve never done Thanksgiving at the beach, but there are SO many good restaurants! I%26#39;d suggest contacting Venus on the Half Shell in Dewey (fabulous gourmet food/view/decor); Chez La Mer (traditional French, outstanding); Nage (terrible location, but really great upscale decor and food); Fish On! (always on the ';best of'; restaurant lists).

Here%26#39;s a listing from a local magazine:

Of these, I%26#39;d recommend Blue Moon, Buttery, Cultured Pearl, Sydney%26#39;s. Most of the others are certainly well-recommended, we just haven%26#39;t been there.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from Delmarva. As other%26#39;s have said get reservations but I%26#39;d like to add further....just call to be sure places are open! Alot of the area closes down after Labor Day. Which is really when all us local%26#39;s go to the beach. Rusty Rudder has a fabulous ';upscale'; All-you-can-eat Seafood Buffet (usually on Friday nights) which is very good. Not like other buffet%26#39;s where the food all tastes the same. We go every Decemeber to The Buttery for dinner. Haven%26#39;t gotten a bad item yet! Also, you couldn%26#39;t pay me to hit the outlets at this time of year, but if you are brave and like people....it is tax free. Don%26#39;t go expecting great values, just variety. Have a good one.
