Bon Appetit Restaurant — Restaurant in Seaford

Quality food, but seriously overpriced for what you get! For starters, the $8 "Assorted Tapas" appetizer comes with exactly TWO small items-- not exactly an "assortment"-- so miniscule, in fact, that it looks comical on the plate. The Big Sin here, however, is their Entrees: the average cost of each offering is over $32.00 (all but one costs over $30.00), which is what you'd expect in places like NYC, DuPont Circle (D.C.), or Le Bec-Fin (Phila.)-- but in SEAFORD DE??! They evidently justify such costs with a claim of "only the finest ingredients"-- but really, these are just basic restaurant offerings, and the sauces-- while delicious-- are NOT made with gold-leaf flecks or other rare "Unobtaina"! Charging $28 for a simple Chicken with Dijon, and $34 for a thin, dry piece of Grouper and some vegetables is beyond the pale. These offerings are NOT at the extreme edge of complexity in "haute cuisine," requiring super-exotic ingredients and high-skill, many-hours-long preparations and the assistance of a career sous-chef or two: you won't find such classics as "Coquilles St. Jacques" , "Tresse de Salmon et de Sole Aux Pates Verdes" , " or "Agneau Printanier au Thym et Legumes Caramelises" here. We also found the decor to be quite dated and generally "tired," and there were a few flies (FLIES!😬) buzzing around! At these prices and in that location they need to present a far higher standard of "customer experience" (as well as basic hygiene-- get rid of the flies!) Lastly, we did not appreciate having to listen to the waitress loudly sharing opinions (at another table) about local politics and union-matters for 10 minutes while we waited patiently to place our order! Bottom-line: While nice in many respects, this place is a terrible VALUE. For anyone willing to drive a little (as most other reviewers seem to be) for a special dinner-for-two-with-wine in the $200.00 range, there are many MANY better fine-dining options in Rehoboth, Annapolis, Baltimore, and elsewhere. At this price-point, you should expect to be DELIGHTED-- just not at Bon...

Bon Appetite is the place you want to go for an exceptional dining experience! From Karen who will take your reservation when you call and then asks, is this is a special occasion you are celebrating with us? Upon entry of the restaurant, which occupies the bottom floor of a charming brick building in the center of downtown Seaford. (Across the street is the beautiful, Methodist Church where there is ample parking) you are transformed upon entering the alcove to this quaint restaurant with lovely dinner music playing! You could hear Frank Sinatra, Harry Connick, Jr, to Michael Buble’ just to name a few! There are linen tablecloths, fine china & stemware for serving a special drink called “Basil Hayden” Old Fashion with mulled orange & bitters (my personal favorite) as well as fine wine, Prosecco, etc! Candles adorn each table & wonderful mood lighting to enhance your dining experience! The menus changes monthly as well as offering special select entrees that the chief may prepare that evening! And I can not forget to mention the delectable homemade desserts! They only serve dinner and their hours of operation are Wednesday through Saturday. Call and make your reservation! You will not be disappointed! You can see their menu of the month & specials on their Facebook page. Bon Appetite restaurant...

My fiancee and I had the most amazing time at Bon Appétit! We were celebrating one year of engagement and the whole staff at this beautiful restaurant made our experience above and beyond! Maggie, our server was so knowledgeable about food and wine and just FANTASTIC at her job. Everyone working that night was working so hard to make the atmosphere perfect for all patrons. The place is cute and inviting, clean and well maintained. We did not realize that you needed reservations (it's quite a small place) but Karen, the owner, got us a table anyway. And the food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! We had appetizers, dinner and desserts, 2 split bottles of wine and a dessert martini each. We paid about $200 (without tip) which I would consider very reasonable for the quality and level of service we got. I could really rave about this place forever. We will be coming back for many date nights...
