El Hefe

Great Italian food! The ribeye is awesome and so is the chicken marsala! The crab cakes have no filler and are great. They're closed on Mondays. Check it out you won't regret it! Good pricing and great food! Will go back often!

El Hefe exceeded my expectations. I was reluctant to try it. Is this a Mexican themed Italian restaurant? Skeptical. And maybe cranky because it seems like everything is pizza, Italian, Mexican, burgers and basic American food around here. I've been twice now, and Hefe stands out from the pack. High-quality ingredients, big flavors, nice menu variety, great beer and cocktail menu, all at good prices. Yes, please. I tend to order like I may never eat again, so I tried a lot of things in my two visits. Apps: calamari, shrimp scampi, crab cakes, and clams. Seafood in Ohio can be it or miss. They all hit, great sauce pairings with everything, nothing tasted fishy or frozen. Next, big Ribeye (under $20, nice), pork ribeye (beautiful mushroom sauce), a Mahi special, grilled red snapper. All winners. Dinner salads aren't thrown together iceberg lettuce. The wedge, Ceasar, and house were all nice. Veggie side - I often feel like a get frozen veg with a bunch of butter and salt. Nope. Fresh, well seasoned, cooked just right. Home made redskin mash. Good marinara and pasta (gonna try more of these). They have like like 6 or 7 unique margaritas and mojitos (with a bar that is truly stocked with, like better than most bars around here). Might as well get the homemade strawberry banana cake, also great. Tony the manager and Dave the bartender were welcoming and friendly. Plenty of parking across the street. Interior is upscale, artistic, and fun. Pick something that sounds good to you, and I bet it is. I'll be back for the rest of the menu, my new favorite spot.

Food was amazing! The atmosphere is really cool. Our server seemed like she might have been newer or maybe in the weeds but still did an ok job. The risotto balls were crispy, delicious, and paired perfectly with it's sauce. Meatball sliders were juicy, cheesey and the bread was super soft. The wings were huge and juicy, jefe sauce was amazing! My ribeye was a little under done but was super tender and seasoned perfectly. We will definitely be coming back!

We found our new favorite spot! Beautiful margaritas that were made with fresh fruit and delicious, and probably the best burger I’ve had in a ver long time. Service was amazing and so friendly. So good we called our friends to meet us!

Really excited to have a new restaurant in Dover. The vibe is Mexican but the food is Italian??

I had the dragon fruit and coconut mojitos. Both were delicious. They even include the raw sugar cane.

The calamari appetizer was delicious. Comes with 2 sauces. The El Hefe sauce is pure magic.

Then we had the burgers. They were perfectly cooked and have just the slightest hint of smokiness. It was everything I want in a burger.

Lots of menu options and great service. I can't wait to come back and try more. This might be my new fave local spot.
