Sullivan's is a classy steakhouse located off of 202 in Wilmington. Their food and service is first class, but the bar and lively atmosphere make this a unique experience for a steakhouse dinner. They're consistently ranked as one of the best steakhouses in Delaware, and it's obvious why, once you walk in and smell the place. OMG. You'll love the specials they run, like the famous "Sure Thing," where you can get a starter (soup or salad), one of their famous steaks, and a decadent dessert for just $44.
What to Order: The Sure Thing. Start with a Wedge or Ceasar Salad, and then choose the Filet Bordelaise with garlic horseradish mashed potatoes for your entree. Top it off with Black Velvet Cake for a delicious meal.

1776 is a classic steakhouse located in Rehoboth Beach. It's one of the finest restaurants on the coast, and you'll be happy with nearly everything you order. Their oysters and seafood are fresh and the cuts they select are tender and well-seasoned. The atmosphere is great, too - there's nothing better than a great steak while you're on vacation.
What to Order: Start with the Scallop Chips - they're unique and a great, light way to start the meal. For your steak, you can't miss The Barrel. It's a cut that 1776 is famous for, 10oz of juicy, flavorful steak served with potatoes and fresh vegetables. Oh, and I'm such a dessert person that I can never skip their creme brulee.

Occasionally, you'll be able to catch the Tomahawk Chop on the menu as a special - don't pass that up!
