From Dogfish Head
:
Our new seafood, celebrating the best of coastal Maine and the Chesapeake Bay, is opening early 2016 next to Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats in Rehoboth Beach, DE.
We’re kicking off 2016 with the opening of Chesapeake & Maine, a new seafood restaurant inspired by founder and president Sam Calagione’s summers spent in Dogfish Head, Maine and Dogfish’s connection to the Chesapeake region!
The menu will consist of sustainably sourced seafood from Maine and the Chesapeake Bay (starting to see where that name came from?) with a unique take on classic New England dishes such as Maine lobster Bolognese and a seafood charcuterie. With an inviting and casual maritime theme, the restaurant will feature porthole windows and oyster shell chandeliers.
We’ll also be spotlighting our just launched 100% scratch-made spirits line with a draft cocktail menu that highlights Analog Vodka, Compelling Gin and Whole Leaf Gin.
Opening February 2016, you can find Chesapeake & Maine at 316 Rehoboth Ave. in downtown Rehoboth Beach … right next door to the original Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats. Initially, Chesapeake & Maine will be dinner only opening at 4 p.m.
More details to come over the coming months so be sure to stay tuned ... in the meantime, check out Chesapeake & Maine on Facebook for some behind-the-scene happenings.
16 Feb 2016 Update:
Chesapeake & Maine, our new geographically enamored seafood restaurant is set to open on March 7, offering fresh seafood sourced exclusively from the Maine and Chesapeake regions!
We'll be incorporating our off-centered ales throughout the menu with items like a 'Beernaise', a twist on a classic béarnaise, and Namaste Steamed Ebenecooke Mussels, procured from the Dogfish Head peninsula in Maine and delivered fresh within 48 hours of ordering! Also featured is a very off-centered Dogfish oyster collaboration with Hooper’s Island Oyster Farm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. A specially built raw bar features quality lobsters and oysters directly from the waters of the Chesapeake Bay and Maine regions.
We'll also be spotlighting our new line of scratch-made spirits. The bar menu features handcrafted cocktails made from our Whole Leaf Gin, Compelling Gin and Analog Vodka that were personally crafted by celebrity bartender Mia Mastroianni. Additionally, three house made, keg-conditioned cocktails will be served on tap. Yep, cocktails on tap!

The design of the restaurant by OTTO Architects and Dogfish Head is synonymous with its menu and created with an off-centered nautical theme. The build-out was executed byLighthouse Construction. Entry is via a unique facade constructed to replicate a lobster trap while oyster shell chandeliers, round porthole windows and industrial brass cage lighting fixtures warm the space. Large columns finished with chunky knots are strategically placed to separate the raw bar from the back dining room that is wrapped with wooden panels to mirror a captain’s quarters.
You'll find original artwork from artist Jon Langford, with seafaring interpretations of country and rock music icons who will anchor Chesapeake & Maine’s playlist: Billie Holiday, Chet Baker, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Elvis Presley and Patsy Cline. Other featured artists include Travis Louie who created otherworldly sea characters to adorn the walls, as well as Tony Millionairewho crafted an alley of sea monsters and fantastical nautical maps.
Chesapeake & Maine serves as the seafood complement to the brewpub next door and will initially open for dinner service from 4pm – 10pm.
We're so excited to show you all that Chesapeake & Maine has to offer and hope you'll join us for dinner one evening!
