Cafe Azafran

We ate last night at Cafe Azafran. We love eating an assortment of small plates. We had 4 dishes which were all delicious. The sauteed mussels and lamb chop dish were exceptional.nThe service was very good and our server was extremely friendly. Will definitely go back when in Rehoboth again.

We never had a bad experience here. Everything is delicious. The tapas are substantial and delicious. This is our number one spot to take guests from out of town.

They take reservations had the best pecan crusted chicken ever. Was so tender and moist, friend had the flat iron steak, cooked perfect ud83dudc4d

I was so disappointed with my experience. I had been waiting for 2 years to come back to the area to eat at this restaurant, which had been recommended. So for my son's birthday I decided to make the 4 hour round trip. When we arrived we were barely welcomed or acknowledged. Then it was realized that our reservation was not even written down! There was no apology even when told that we had driven 2 hours to get there. Because they were not prepared for us and the Covid-19 necessary spacing. They had to move us several times because of the reserved parties coming in. We were finally placed in a small window seat table which I thought was nice. Until I had to brush crumbs off the seat and wipe up flies, hair, dust and crumbs from the window sills beside and right behind me. When told to the server she did not seem to care and never offered to clean it up better than I could with a cocktail napkin!! The only other table in the window seat area had been used and when they seated us they did not bother to clean up from the previous diners. The area was a mess. The tables were so close that I could not move without hitting the piled up dishes and glasses with my elbow. I finally asked her to clear the table. She did so reluctantly and said they had no busperson at the time. The menu was very limited because of the virus so what I had decided on from viewing their website menu was not available. We had to wait forever for the server to return because shortly after we arrived one server left leaving only one server for the entire restaurant both inside and out!! She finally took our order and then it again was forever to receive the food! Our server had to also answer the phone to take reservations and carry out orders all the while serve the food and cocktails, clear the tables when she could and take the carry out food to the awaiting cars and foot traffic at times walking at least a block down the street!!! The food was good but nothing special that I could not have gotten at another nice restaurant. Our beet and goat cheese salad was served missing two ingredients. The portion was small enough for $12.00 so not having everything that belonged it it made it very skimpy. I had to flag down the chef after he got off the phone and question the missing ingredients. He did not offer an apology or offer to take the salad and return with a properly prepared one. He just brought back two tiny bowls put them on the table and walked away. We felt all throughout the dinner as if they did not care that we had driven all those hours to eat at their establishment and that it was a birthday dinner! They did not even provide any complementary dessert for his birthday so I ordered one off the menu. I did not expect them to sing to him nor would he have wanted that but they did not even put a candle on it. We again waited a long time for them to clear the table and present the check. Then a while to get the bill taken care of and returned to us. Then with no enthusiasm, we were told to come back again. That will not happen! I had high hopes for this restaurant and unfortunately I was very disappointed! I dine out quite often and I have never experienced that type of treatment!!

Great tapas for lunch. Opens at 3. The potatoes witch chorizo was my favorite.
