SoDel Concepts restaurants feature renovated outdoor dining areas
New plantings, seating and artwork suit the view at Catch 54 in West Fenwick.
To take advantage of the coastal weather and meet the increased demand for alfresco meals, five of SoDel Concepts’ 12 restaurants have enhanced their outdoor dining areas.
Improvements were made at Catch 54 in Fenwick Island, NorthEast Seafood Kitchen in Ocean View, Matt’s Fish Camp in North Bethany, Matt’s Fish Camp in Lewes and Fish On in Lewes.
“Our guests love to sit outside and eat fresh seafood, and many of our restaurants have incredible views,” said Scott Kammerer, president of SoDel Concepts. “From beer gardens to landscaped terraces, we already have some of the best alfresco spaces along the coast. We decided to create even more opportunities for our guests to eat outside.”
Matt’s Fish Camp in North Bethany now has a side patio, where umbrellas provide relief from the sun.
