About the restaurant

Simple home cooking at its best… served in a casual, bistro-style dining room or on our outdoor, garden patio. A year-round local favorite, since 2009, offering home-made food, that’s always fresh. A lively mix of locals and tourists, gathering for dinner in the dining room, or drinks at the bar. Just a 10 minute walk from the ocean, on Rehoboth Avenue. We also have some free parking behind our restaurant and free parking (after 5pm) on the street behind our building. Late night bar entertainment includes: live music or Karaoke with a late night menu available after 9pm. Owners John & John are regularly on the premise, making sure you have a pleasant experience. “We strive to make Rigby’s a comfortable place, for all to feel welcome!” “We encourage you to have some good food and relax… after all, you’re at the beach!”

We had walked by here countless times and finally gave it a try. The food was terrific - we had a baked goat cheese gratin with artichokes and olives, and two large plates, rockfish and seafood taragona, a Spanish take on bouillabaisse with delicious romesco sauce. The presentation and quality were top notch, and the portions generous. Short but nicely curated wine list. Service was friendly, courteous, and well timed. The place in tiny - maybe two dozen seats plus a small, welcoming bar. We will definitely put Azafran into our off-season rotation.

One Coastal is my favorite restaurant, so, not surprisingly, our meal was wonderful. All of the items we ordered-that agrobay field greens and rockfish and catfish entrees- were excellent, the drinks were great and the service was flawless. It's our go-to restaurant whenever we're in the area and can get a reservation.

The food, ambiance and service excellent as always. They have a very unique and interesting menu. The roasted Oysters are delicious as are the Fried Green Tomatoes, both appetizers. The nightly specials are priced reasonably and offer a variety of options. Save room for dessert as their signature dessert is the Ice Cream Bomb which serves at least 4 (unless you can eat a whole half gallon of ice cream yourself!!! ) The wait staff is very attentive and right there when needed. If you enjoy an adult beverage, the Blue Moon Martini is excellent as are their other drinks. The flashing colorful ice cube makes the drink a party in and of itself! 5 stars all around!

We sat at the bar for the first time and found it very comfortable. The cocktails were inspired, food wonderful and service great. Menu contains items not found elsewhere in Rehoboth (mushroom bruschetta, grilled octopus ) and more traditional items are prepared in a different manner (beet salad) that was amazing.
