Nice location on the bay with pleasant outside courtyard to dine. Waitress was very accommodating and nice. Had a great birthday treat for those special celebrations. Menu has a majority of seafood but also offers some pasta, beef, and chicken. more

Dewey Beach is known more for the bar scene but Venus is a great place to have an early sunset dinner. The food is great and the atmosphere is perfect. Sit on the sand and watch the sunset ... The wedge is really tasty..with a bit a wasabi blue cheese. A salad and one of their small plates are enough... more

Not a good experience-private wedding was being held and there were NO signs in the parking lot for a private event. By the time we came out, our car was towed and we spent $160 for nothing! more

My husband and I went to Venus on the Half Shell for the first time three years ago after we met the manager at a bar and he invited us to check it out. We went the next evening and have made it a tradition to go each summer we go back to Rehoboth. The manager is referred to in... more

Great views and ambience-inside or out. Food is average to very good. Service is very good. Not much for any kids-the dishes are way too complicated. Very expensive (especially for the beach). more

The ambience in nice and the view is fantastic. However the chef is one of those folks who has to add two extra obscure ingrediants to attempt to make the food worth the over priced cost. My pork was flavorless and the sauce had a wicked taste, horsheradish I think. The side was overcooked orzo in peppers, a bad combo.... more

New owners have taken over Venus on the half shell. They left the ambience and still have the awesome views of Rehoboth Bay. We ate outside in the gazebo,only seats 2, overlooking the water. For apps we had steamed clams in a marvelous broth andalso had lobster raviolis sandwiched by scallops in a saffron cream sauce. Delicious! I had salmon... more
