“Excellent harbor side spot. Casual and cool. Great tuna. Our waitress Janee was terrific. Very enjoyable.“

“Went to the Dolphin Restaurant on 02/12/22. Had 6:30 reservations and was told they still haven't seated all of the 6:00 reservetions yet. The place was packed, you could hardly move. The wait staff that wasn't wearing masks,were having a hard time getting to the tables to serve. Good thing the fire dept. didn't come in, as I am sure they were way over capacity. So we waited close to an hour and were asked if we would consider sitting at a high top, we agreed. So after waiting another 15 -20 minutes for the bartender to take our order. He brought our drinks, I said "we are ready to order" The bartender said I'll be right back. He proceeded to go help bring in the equipment for the band who were setting up 8 - 10 feet accross from our table. At this point I flaged him down asked him how much for the drinks and left. I have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, Valentines Day at the Dolphin for years. I will never return! They pissed a lot of people off for their way over booking. We just weren't smart enough to leave at the begining like a lot of people did. I have never seen a business with so little reguard for their customers.“

“It’s interior is a classic restaurant on the Cape .“

“Best restaurant on Cape Cod.“

“Just reopened and couldn’t be more excited. Great outdoor patio. Close to the beach there. Food right off the bat was EXCELLENT. Above and beyond with customer service. Putting a great foot forward on the 2026 season! So glad they are open again. Get out there for top notch food and genuinely nice ppl!“

“We had the twin lobster dinner and it was awesome. Our waiter was excellent and the price was very reasonable. I would recommend this restaurant.“

“The Portside Tavern restaurant has excellent service and food quality. The app (Charcuterie Board) and both entrees (Braised Short Rib and Cod) were over the top quality and cooked to perfection. What was nice is each entry offered a wine pairing suggestion which made the wine decision easy! The charcuterie board was fresh and had such a nice variety of meats, cheeses, olives, fig, dill pickles, apple, crackers, nuts and dried mango. We will definitely return again.“

“Went to Moonfish last week for the first time with a group of friends. Beautiful decor, nice vibe. We all LOVED our meals! Rhonda, our server, was so great. Efficient, personable and fun!!! Great menu; this place has something for everyone! Prices are reasonable; generous portions. Our only negative was the loud music (not live) coming from the bar. We were in an adjacent dining room and the volume was too much!! Can't imagine sitting in the bar area and trying to have a conversation with someone. I will definitely be back to Moonfish. Wonderful addition to the area!!“

“We're locals that countdown every year to this gem reopening. Its one of the Cape's few remaining old school roadside attractions. The restaurant is situated perfectly on Parkers River and Route 28. The cocktails are fantastic and the food and service are always reliable. Despite living on the Cape, I don't eat clam chowder EXCEPT for at Lobster Boat. That's how good it is. They mean it when they say award winning!“

“OK for breakfast it was really really got“

“Through the 30 knot winds, the steamship blows the whistle announcing its voyage. The mist and rain slowly soak into your skin, and a hint of salt drips down your face and enters the corner of your mouth.
There’s something satisfying about rough weather on the cape.

It sends people inside and whispers, “it’s ok to sit and relax. There’s nothing to do in this weather.”

Baxter’s Boathouse is a quaint place with a big heart and a strong menu. By bike, boat or car, Baxter’s has space for you.

A petite bar deliberately creates an intimate social experience that fosters conversation and creates new friendships.

I love cape cod.
I *love* Baxter’s Boathouse!

Tell em Jeff from MAHI Outfitters sent you.“

“Just left Scargo We’ve been patrons of your restaurant for many years, often at the bar. Food is always consistent and delicious. Tonight was good news and bad news. On the bad news, Debbie at bar was abrupt, not friendly and a disappointment from what we are use to. On the very good news, CJ was fantastic. Personable, quick, friendly and knows how to interact with customers. We hope it’s all good news next time.“
