Delaware restaurant group snags iconic Wilmington spot | Exclusive

Don't worry, the signature snapper soup recipe isn't changing. The largest Delaware-based restaurant group is taking over management of a Wilmington-area landmark, Feby's Fishery Restaurant & Seafood Market , which its original founders have run as a family for 52 years. Sussex County-based SoDel Concepts' Highwater Management will officially take the reins on Nov. 16, after months of working with the owners and staff to prepare for the transition. Highwater will operate both the Feby's restaurant and attached seafood market under a 10-year lease. The family will continue to own the restaurant, market and the property. Feby's dates back to 1974, when owner Philip DiFebo and his wife MarySue, first opened the business. It moved from Elsmere to its current location at 3701 Lancaster Pike in 1984 ― a building entirely built by Philip and his brothers. While they will retire and promise to return as customers, Feby's staff, some of whom have been there for decades, will all remain. With Feby's, Highwater establishes northern division The move marks SoDel's further expansion into the New Castle County market as the first restaurant under the newly established northern division of Highwater Management .

Changes coming for Montchanin Inn, Krazy Kat's restaurant | Exclusive

The new owners of a landmark inn and spa in Montchanin said they plan to upgrade the historic Chateau Country property to five-star hotel status and rebrand its Krazy Kat's restaurant. Allison Carpenter Vucich and her husband, Derek Vucich, who recently purchased the more than 4-acre property off Route 100 and Kirk and Rockland roads, said they already have begun improvements at the luxury site and are restoring its luster. They also changed the name from the Inn at Montchanin Village to Montchanin Village . While they plan to respect the property's history, charm and character, Derek Vucich said the rooms and the on-site restaurant need to be refreshed. "It's time for a facelift," he said. Montchanin Village has 28 rooms in 12 buildings dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. The property, with cottages and homes connected by gardens, brick pathways and courtyards, once was owned by Allison's great-grandmother Margaretta Lammot du Pont Carpenter, whose portrait still hangs in the site's reception area known as the Dilwyne Gathering Room. The village's tenants once included workers at the nearby DuPont Co. powder mills (now Hagley Museum) and staff at Winterthur estate, now also a museum. Allison, who grew up

Noẽma will bring Mediterranean cuisine to Newark

A new restaurant aims to bring a taste of the Mediterranean to Newark. Noẽma is scheduled to open later this month on Creek View Road, behind Timothy's of Newark and near the new Chapel Street Players theater. The name is inspired by the Greek word for “meaning." "For us, the meaning of life is to connect people around the table," said Ilias Stamatiadis, who owns the restaurant with his wife, daughter and son-in-law. "The concept is a Mediterranean restaurant, but really what we are after is connecting people. We want to be more social. We need to be more social." Born in Greece and raised in Sweden, Stamatiadis came to the United States 35 years ago. For much of his career, he helped run the chain of Pat's Pizzeria restaurants, which were founded by his wife's father. Six years ago, he and his family opened The Naked Olive, a Mediterranean restaurant in Kennett Square, Pa. As The Naked Olive gained popularity, Stamatiadis, who lives in Newark, decided to open a similar restaurant here. "Newark doesn't have a restaurant like that, so we thought we'd give it a try," he said. Noẽma will have a similar concept, with some different menu
