    It was their shrimp night specials. My wife had ordered a shrimp dish in a red sauce. The shrimp was spicey hot which she was not able to eat. I had ordered a pesto shrimp dish over penne which was good. The gnocchi appetizer was good. I had requested a specific server while making my reservation which was totally ignored. Our younger, male server was just average as compared to whom i had requested. We enjoy this restaurant and will be back.

    We love the menu at Azafrán and always enjoy whichever plates we choose. I prefer to graze on several small plates which we share. That way we get to enjoy several different presentations. Noise level is a bit loud… sound baffles would help tremendously

    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.

    We went for the seafood prix fixe dinner, it was wonderful. The only reason I did give all 5 stars was that I thought the seafood pasta, although very tasty, lacked enough shrimp and crab. I kept looking for it. Will definitely go back!

    While many have come and gone over years, Cafe Azafran remains one of the most pleasant dining experiences in Rehoboth Beach. The food, service, and ambience are truly exceptional!
