Eating Out in Delaware

Long Neck: La Dolce Vita, 34814 Long Neck Rd #5, Phone (302) 947-4008 We arrived at this restaurant just after 4 PM because we had missed lunch and were tired from a day of traveling. It turns out the restaurant has a early bird special of dinner/salad and bread/aoli for $10. And they are good meals, too; Denny had the sweet sausage with pasta and I had the chicken parmesan.  Beer and wine was reasonably priced, the house cabernet was very good.  I took home leftovers to boot. They have a small bar, a nice wine list and a friendly staff. We recommend this place. (9/2011)

Texas Grill, 26089 Long Neck Road, Phone (302) 945-7171 This restaurant was recommended to us as a good place to eat. We stopped by and tried their prime rib special. I don't know what cut of meat that was, but it wasn't prime rib and it was tough, chewy and had the texture of a pot roast. I will say that it was cooked medium rare, but that's the only good thing I could say about it. The rest of the sides were mediocre. Not recommended, although it seems to be popular with the locals.
