The Blue Hen is a regional American fare restaurant set in a similar ‘beach casual with class’ décor that personifies The Avenue. Using the small independent farm and purveyor products that made The Oyster House famous, The Blue Hen will be delivering the same commitment to top quality eats, craft beers and boutique wines. Coupled with the excellent guest service and professionalism that Chris and Joe have developed their team to deliver, The Blue Hen is the new favorite spot for locals and visitors alike.

I come to The Blue Hen somewhat frequently, and it never disappoints. The food is always delicious—especially the fried chicken, which is one of my favorites. The biscuits are absolutely amazing, and the drink selection is great, with a solid variety of wine, beer, cocktails, and even a few non-alcoholic options. The staff is always friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better. Prices are a little on the high side, but in line with most restaurants in town. Highly recommend!

Found this place during a mid-day walk around town, it was closed at the time but looked interesting, so came back for a drink and appetizer before dinner. Got there early, few people were there, sat at the bar. The young lady working the hostess desk seemed distracted, and a bit bored.
The bartender was ok, but a bit aloof, especially when I asked if he could make me a classic daiquiri, shaken. He said he didn't have the machine to make a frozen drink. I said "no...I was not asking for a frozen daiquiri, but a classic daiquiri which is white rum, lime juice, and simple syrup, shaken and served neat in a coupe glass." He got a little snooty and said "of course I can make that", then turned and I watched him look up how to make it in a recipe book! What I actually got was dark rum instead of white, and after shaking he poured it over the rocks in a cocktail glass...oh well. My wife had a martini which she said was good.
We had an appetizer, the Lobster Toast, which was very good!
We finished our drink and appetizer and left, over $42 for the two drinks and appetizer.
Just didn't get a great feel for the place, maybe because the help seemed somewhat disconnected.
Would I go there again...probably not, many other places to go that have good food and atmosphere.
Would I recommend...maybe, just don't order a classic drink that the bartenders of today have no idea how to make.

Seared sea bream, raw bluefin tuna, and crab cake sandwich were all fantastic. Lovely service. Cute place with no frills near the shore. Well mixed drinks too.
