Whenever we visit our favorite state-side vacation...

Whenever we visit our favorite state-side vacation area, Bethany Beach- no visit is complete without a trip to Bluecoast.

The theme of my review is above and beyond, because that it what we experienced during our most recent trip: above and beyond service from the entire staff.

Upon arriving at Bluecoast, we were informed of the 1.5 hr wait. Having come to Bluecoast every summer, we knew to expect the wait. The hostess went above and beyond to find a place for us to sit while we waited outside as my five-year old son was tired from a long, fun day at the beach.

The outdoor area is as enjoyable as the interior of the restaurant. Comfortable 'beach chique' furniture, and pleasant lighting.

After we found seats, a server greeted us. To say he was busy, was an understatement. But despite his workload, he too treated us with sheer kindness and gave us wonderful service.

While it happens every time we go to Bluecoast, It's always hard to believe that some people can find a reason to complain about an expected wait at a beautiful, beach-side restaurant that provides great service, and keeps the champagne and wine flowing. Despite the beatings that the staff takes, they keep their good service, respect, and charm at full speed at all times.

Our outside server came to check on us, refilling drinks, checking in on the status of our wait. He was wonderful.

After our wait, the charming hostess took us to our table. Our server was outstanding. She thanked us for our patience during the wait, and flawlessly described the specials, answered questions, and replenished our drinks.

The little guy was pretty tired after the wait (it was nearly 10 pm by this point), so we opted to have appetizers and his entree at the table (which he loved), while taking the adults in our parties' entrees home.

Our server was completely understanding and had the waitstaff pack our entrees to go.

As always, the food did not disappoint. From the soft shell crab entree,to the crab carbonara - each dish was a hit.

Bluecoast is worth the wait. Every time. Bluecoast is always the highlight of our vacation.

Thank you, Bluecoast, for always being such a special treat for us! We cannot wait until our next visit.
