The majority of restaurants that have been severely damaged or simply put out of business by this prolonged and increasingly arbitrary restaurant lockdown are the small, single-location establishments. If an eatery can only seat 30 people, then the difference between a 30 percent seating limit (10 people) and a 50 percent seating limit (a whopping 15 people) won’t do much to keep the lights on. In fact, we are experiencing this up close and personal with the popular Eating Rehoboth restaurant tours. We like to take our guests to some of the smaller, off-the-beaten-path places, and many of these cannot accommodate our tour groups of around 16 guests.

Lorraine and Gary Papp set their roots in the Cape Region restaurant community back in 1994, when they came to town to help John Donato and Twain Gonzalez open The Buttery on Market Street in Lewes.
It was supposed to be a one-summer job, but 27 years later, the couple is still here. They left The Buttery in 2008 to open The Essential Chef catering business. That led to a small bistro called Palate in the Safeway shopping center on Route 1. Now, they’ve added Harbour into the mix with a seafood-centered restaurant on the Lewes waterfront.

Gary and Lorraine Papp, owners of Palate, are excited to announce the official reopening of Palate Bistro in the Safeway shopping center on Coastal Highway.
Locally renowned Chef Andrew Guffey, formerly chef of Hari Cameron’s a(MUSE.) in Rehoboth Beach, will be at the helm with chef/owner Gary Papp to offer his fresh, modern approach to Mid-Atlantic and global cuisine, along with Palate favorites and Lorraine’s delectable desserts.
Harbour, their waterfront restaurant in downtown Lewes, will continue to offer a sustainable fish and farm menu with Chef Gary and Chef Tim McNitt keeping things fresh.
