I may have visited this Rehoboth institution once before but too long ago to remember. Our lunch there this weekend with a group of 10 was very enjoyable. We sat in the annex where the bar is rather than in the main dining room and had a large table at bar-stool height. The favored option was one of the fish of the day on a salad and I got a grilled red snapper on a chophouse salad. The fish was great -- fresh, grilled just right, and the salad with a garlic ranch dressing was a perfect fit.
The Big Fish Grill is on Highway 1 just down the street from our host's house, so it was a convenient spot for those of us who had convened for the weekend. In a thoughtful move, given that most of the better restaurants were closed for off-season, our host thought it would be fun to eat dinner at the Boardwalk Plaza Hotel, where the dining room is right on the boardwalk. Though the faux-Victorian decor inside was a bit over the top, the view was very nice -- even in the dark since floodlights illuminated the boardwalk and dune grass -- and the food, while not imaginative, was quite good. I had the New York strip with wild mushroom risotto and roasted asparagus -- hit the spot! Several bottles of wine made the whole meal quite convivial.
