Super awesome restaurant for dinner! We had the raw oysters, clam chowder and flatbread as appetizers. They are all great! Then we had seafood linguini and beef brisket. I love them a lot!

Our favorite restaurant in town! Whenever we visit, we have dinner here almost every night. The food is always delicious, no matter what you order. I love that portions are perfect sizing, not too big and not small. My favorites that I highly recommend are the Simply Grilled Swordfish, Fish and Chips, Seafood Linguini, Seared Ahi Tuna, and the Caesar Salad. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making every visit a pleasure.

Had a wonderful meal here last week. I’ve driven past it many times, and we finally made it in. It’s a very casual atmosphere, and the staff was very kind. We started with delicious cocktails (I had the fig martini with blue cheese olives) and appetizers. I highly recommend the miso roasted oysters while my dining partner loved the lobster cakes. I then had the fried scallops for dinner (yum) while my dining partner had the potato encrusted salmon. Overall a wonderful meal, and I would definitely go back.

I had an unforgettable experience at this restaurant. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was warm, elegant, and genuinely welcoming — the kind of hospitality that’s rare to find in the United States. The staff showed remarkable attention to every detail and treated each guest with true care.

I happened to visit on my birthday, just me and my dog, yet they managed to make me feel like a special guest. By the time I sat down, there was already a bowl of water prepared for my dog — such a small gesture, but it spoke volumes about their thoughtfulness and service.

The cuisine was absolutely outstanding, and the level of service was exceptional — attentive without ever being intrusive. It’s a place where you feel truly seen and taken care of.

I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning. A truly remarkable experience.

Excellent place! Family atmosphere and delicious food. Crème brûlée and fish and chips were amazing. Great place to stop by after Marconi beach or walking the Cedar trail.

I have passed here many years on the way to Wellfleet and Truro. Today we stopped for breakfast. So glad we did!
Amazing food! The service by Alex was terrific…delicious was to end our weekend on the Cape.
I had the Smoked Salmon Benedict with greens and a Wellfleet Bloody Mary (I slurred down the oyster before the pic). My husband had the Junkyard Omelette with greens and a Mimosa.

I have come here for years now, and it’s been okay each time lol. Like the staff is so kind and the managers are great but the vegan and vegetarian options are very subpar. the portions are tiny and there really are not too many options. I get it’s Wellfleet, so it’s the best vegan and vegetarian option in town but still pretty mehhh ://. Overall;: a Vibe with the fam and friends. Also they have great drinks too.

I’m coming back for the stuffed lobster tail because they were out and this spot is soooo damn tasty, I would say top 5 seafood experiences in my life! Not even exaggerating. Everything fresh and delicately cooked to elevate the textures of seafood.

Delicious meal! I had the salmon which was tasty. My sister had the shrimp scampi which she said was good. My mother enjoyed the scallops which she said were very good with a nice flavor. I also tried the clam chowder which had a fantastic flavor. Our serve was friendly and provides great service. Seems like there is often a long wait outside, so make sure to make a reservation.

We arrived and were seated promptly, nine in our party. Waitress arrived quickly, explained the specials, and asked for our drink order. Drinks and apps arrived at appropriate times. Waitress checked in regularly but at correct intervals. Dinner arrived and was great ! I had the tuna, medium rare with the “ special presentation “. Special presentation is garlic roasted tri color fingerling potatoes, sautéed rainbow chard, and harvest beets & mango salad. The pairing was excellent, fish cooked as expected and it was great !! Everyone had a great time ! Would definitely go back to this place !!!
