The Queen Anne Victorian at 210 Savannah Road in Lewes, DE has stood tall for over 100 years. Built in 1899, Captain W. “Diver” Johnston at the age of 52 collaborated with his business partner (William H. Virden) to build a beautiful new house for him and his wife, Isabella. Records indicate that he paid $400 for the entire lot, one of the most prominent sites in downtown Lewes.Over the next 100 years, the Victorian structure built in the style of Eastlake, an English architect, served as a home for many families, including longtime Lewes Mayor, Otis Smith.The team at Raas is proud to continue the story of the Queen Anne Victorian. Each chapter of the building’s history has added to its charm and we at Raas are excited for its next chapter.CELEBRATION OF FOOD & CULTUREOur team’s interpretation of the word "Raas" is a celebration of food and culture while showcasing the medicinal value of Indian cuisine.

First time there since the new ownership group came in. Love the fact you can now make reservations…long overdue. Franklin felt like they have upped there game. Everyone at our four-top agreed that food was better than our last visit. Portions were more than generous. Shrimp and grits, mussels, crap dip were all excellent. I did not have sushi but those who did raved. Everyone who ordered a salad end ed up taking some home as they were huge

Food was excellent! All seven of us enjoyed our dishes, and were moved to share a bit with each other. Katie was our server, and she couldn't have been better; friendly, efficient, accommodating, and all around wonderful. Must mention that I had to change our reservation a couple of times, and Ian couldn't have been nicer about it. So all around a great choice in dining!

Wonderful experience. Great service and excellent wine recommendations by our waitress. The pan seared scallops were amazing. The Caesar salad could have used a bit more dressing but the lettuce was crisp and overall we enjoyed it. Thank you for a nice evening.
