"The Buttery had been our favorite dining spot in Lewes until this trip. We often celebrate our anniversaries on the beach and have enjoyed many memorable meals at The Buttery. However, the new menu just isn't the same. While the food we had was decent, it wasn’t good enough to justify the prices, and the portion sizes were outrageous. We’re accustomed to fine dining, so it's not a matter of not knowing how upscale restaurants operate. For instance, the $17 octopus appetizer, while tasty, contained what could only be about 2 ounces of octopus - and that's probably a generous estimate. We’re now on the hunt for a new favorite place to celebrate on the beach. The menu just didn't resonate with us, and the food quality was inconsistent (like the overly salty ramen served with the scallops, chef!). Overall, The Buttery no longer seems worth the cost."
