The Grilled Beetroot Salad is a beet-lover's dream-come-true. So some of these goodies might not be available, or might be seasonal. I will remind you that Rose & Crown, like most local eateries, likes to change its menu on a regular basis.
The bill of fare still tempts with homemade pretzels, Tater Tots, onion rings in 60 Minute-laced batter, and drunken clams redolent of andouille and something hoppy from Dogfish Head. They are pretty new on the menu and hopefully a work in progress. I had these on my most recent visit, and if I had any gripe it would be that the lobster salad could be a “wetter” it was a bit dry, even for me, especially after the soft rolls soaked up even more moisture. The 16 Mile Sliders, as good as they are, now join a contender to the throne on the menu, The British Lobster Sliders: Curried lobster salad on three nice fresh rolls. I want to order two plates and make it dinner. Though I like the soft and yeasty Martin's-style “dinner roll” so popular with local sliderphiles, this one has more of an eggy brioche texture without being overly firm. Short ribs are braised in one of 16 Mile's signature brews, gruyere is melted over top, and they are presented on a surprisingly cute roll. The R&C Wings are fairly typical, but I do love wings and these are well up to specifications, complete with the regulation sauce.Īnother secret pleasure is the 16 Mile Sliders. Want personality? Cross your fingers that the 5-Onion Soup is still on the menu! This ain't yo' momma's onion soup: Roasted peppers, olives and a deliciously aggressive gruyere complement this bracing recipe, and it is simply wonderful. We've had the Crab Deviled Eggs several times, and though they are pleasant, they could use more personality spice- and presentation-wise. I like the pickled jalapeno slices scattered here and there. This unusual preparation has a thicker crust than what you might be used to, but that crust is dry, crunchy and well-spiced. The dish is the perfect starter.Īnother little surprise is the Beer Battered Calamari. Is it just me?! Don't answer that.) Skip the Ranch and enjoy the zippy drizzle atop the crispy, vinegary spears. These are made fresh on the premises and come with a spicy mustard-based drizzle and a pretty blah Ranch dip. That being said, one of the stars of the appetizer show is the Fried Pickles. So things that I tried last week might not be on the menu this week. I will mention (as I do in most of the articles here) that menus change like the tides here at the beach.
The menu is rife with comfort food and stuff people like. After several shakeups here and there, Rose & Crown has continued to thrive for both lunch and dinner, and if anything the service and overall attitude is even better. The reincarnation of the Rose & Crown in Lewes' boutique Hotel Rodney brings back memories of the original restaurant of the same name that used to be in the space now occupied by Jerry's Seafood (next door to The Buttery).
