If you’re planning to spend some time this summer at the Delaware beaches, you’ll discover more than a half dozen new dining destinations that will greet your taste buds. Delaware Today highlighted the following seven new restaurants making their summer debut.
Abbott’s Grill at Paynter’s Mill
Located off Route 1, this Milton restaurant is owned by Kevin Reading.
