 With all of its advantages, the Internet also gives free rein to pretty much anybody who can operate a mouse and a fork at the same time. As I prepare these articles, I like to surf around to get a feel for what others have experienced. When I searched "Sirlae's," I was surprised to find a number of negative comments at such unmonitored cyber-free-for-alls as TwitAdvisor and Urban Swoon. Interestingly, the majority of these rants were posted within a week or two of the restaurant's

 This is not owner Tia Sexton's first rodeo. This Del-Tech graduate and Bethany Beach-raised restaurateur has had a lot of practice coping with the ins and outs of restauranting, including working at Magnolia's in Ocean View for over 12 years. Most recently she made a name for herself in Lewes as bartender and GM at the insanely busy Agave Tequila Bar. When Chef Bruce Kingston decided to call it quits at his iconic Kingston Grill at 14 N. Pennsylvania Avenue in Bethany, Tia stepped in to make it her own. (Bruce opened
 First of all, the place isn't really in Bethany Beach, but I don't have a "somewhere between Bethany and Rehoboth near that almost-finished bridge" category. In fact, it's about 30 seconds south of
 Off the Hook has been open for a while now. I wrote my first review just weeks after they opened, so it seemed fair to go back and check it out after they have had time to settle in. I remember the first time I walked in there last summer and saw Steve Hagan in the open kitchen. My expectations went up immediately, and I have yet to be
 The Foodie prides himself on being an equal-opportunity eater. Though Rehoboth Beach restaurants will always be his passion, there are a few well-kept secrets within drooling distance that do deserve some attention. One of these special little spots is
 “Are you crazy!?!” screamed my posse of spies, moles and operatives (it sounded strangely rehearsed...) when I announced that I was going to write about a particular McDonald’s.
“Think of the avalanche of emails you’ll get from the Chronic Complainers! They are watching, you know.” Well, don’t tell anybody, but I love the

 Owner and Executive Chef Dana Banks' Hawaiian and Pacific Rim "comfort zone" runs through so many of the dishes at Parkway. Now in her 13th year in Bethany Beach (about 12 miles south of Rehoboth Beach), Parkway is definitely not a "Hawaiian" restaurant or anything like that. But the South Pacific influence shows itself in the
 Bluecoast's predecessor, RedFin, was one of Matt Haley's first restaurant ventures at the beach. My many visits to both "incarnations" suggest that Bluecoast continues to build on RedFin's reputation earned over the years. Y'know, in an effort to provide you with honest and objective information, I really do try to find
 The (relatively) "Quiet Resort" of Bethany Beach (about 12 miles south of Rehoboth Beach) boasts several noteworthy eateries. One of the mainstays is the Cottage Cafe, right smack on Rt. 1, across from the Sea Colony high rises. Haute Cuisine? No. Consistent comfort food served in bright, clean rooms by
 China Express is the stereotypical neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Except that the food is better than what you might be used to elsewhere. With only about 10 or so tables and a bustling take out business, the phone rings constantly as those rectangular bags with the stapled tops go flyin' outta there. China Express is located in Bethany Beach in the Seaside Village strip center on the west side of Rt. 1 just south of Sea Colony (they share the center with the
