As I was doing some research for my regular “spotlight on” section of the blog I came across this great list from the Rehoboth Foodie, which highlights the off season hours & specials of many local restaurants.  I have reviewed some of these restaurants myself and others you can find reviews of right on the Rehoboth Foodie site.  But now that we are smack in the middle of the “off season” with plenty of off season ahead of us, I thought this might be an opportune time for such a list.  Check it out!
