We have been frequenting this restaurant for many years. The food and service are consistently good. We have never had a bad experience there. Highly recommend this place

I almost don't want to tell you about this place because the secret will be out.... the crab cakes are insane! You have to go and try it on your own. My take out order was served in a pizza box for better travel! That was adorable! My only issue was the staff. This part of Delaware has an odd group of folks half of them seemed extra friendly (thank you so much to the man who showed me the take out area) and the rest of them seemed to be occupied with who knows. TBH I do not care. The food was so stinkin' good it could have been served by the living dead. It's obvious they have a name for themselves--"impressive." I will be back, I can't wait.

Everything I have tried here has been outstanding. Service is always excellent. Allie and Jillian are amazing waitresses.

Always a positive dining experience. Try and make a reservation when you can, especially on Friday or Saturday nights.

Third time I have come here for a steak and they have yet to mess up the temperature. This time was their 9oz signature filet and it came out perfectly cooked. They use bacon in the mix and the only thing I'd say is it had a bit of stronger maple bacon taste but nothing so overpowering to ruin the meal at all. Either way, absent Houston White in Rehoboth, this has been my most reliable steak location. I'm a bit of a steak snob so if it makes me happy then easily it should be highly considered by others.

Went here with my parents this past weekend. We got the penne alla vodka and baked ziti, it was pretty good. The bread was also very tasty! The Italian dressing on my salad didn't have much flavor but overall a good experience. Service was a bit slow.

I made reservations for dinner and we had nice seating in the bar area. For starters, we ordered a bottle of Hall cabernet & the crab and spinach dip appetizer special. It was very good with plenty of crab meat and crustini bread for dipping. For dinner I ordered the pasta Isobel special. It was penne pasta, lump crab meat and baby spinach in a blush sauce and very good. My husband and daughter both ordered the 16oz ribeyes medium rare and were both cooked to perfection. For dessert we decided to share and ordered the half baked cookie and strawberry banana crème. The cookie is half baked with a scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce. The strawberry crème is a whipped confection over a layer of bananas in a graham cracker crust topped with strawberries and blueberries. Overall, we had an amazing dinner and service was awesome as usual!

I've been going to valle's for 20 years (my parents even longer) and it still holds up! Some places I have nostalgia for haven't stood the test of time but this place has! There is something different about this garlic bread- idk what sort of magic they marinate their garlic in but it's always the main event. I got the special French onion soup which wasn't the best but still good, and the mini crab cakes. My dad enjoyed his steak as usual but was a bit salty this time. My mom ordered a half order of a chicken dish and loved it. My bf got the carbonara and was a bit disappointed since it was more creamy like fettuccine and less classic (he is picky on Italian food). We LOVE the strawberry banana cream and it's such a refreshing dessert. Thank you Mackenzie for helping us have a great meal! You can't go wrong with lunch either, pizza, subs, French fries all great.
