42 Best Seafood Restaurants near Barnstable

“Everything was fresh and tasty. Classic seafood type fare. I suggest you try the Merle stew it was delicious. The bacon wrapped scallops were also a hit and I had the swordfish that came with zucchini. Very tasty. They also were able to do a little side of grilled shrimp for my toddler.“

“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 .“

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

“While I found only having the tavern part of the restaurant open, it was a bit cramped. That being said, it was another spectacular night of dining. Great waitstaff, big portions, and delicious food. They never disappoint!“

“No prices listed that I saw so be aware. Onion rings were tasty. Fried clams were golden and fresh. $8 for fresh squeezed lemonade and it was worth every penny. Parking is same lot as whale cruise so it was a bit confusing. Said lot was full but it was fine to park to eat at the lot to the left when you enter. We had to leave the parking lot and re enter and pay for our whale cruise parking after lunch,just fyi in case that is your plan too.“

“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.“

“This was a terrific place to eat, watch football, and enjoy a couple of libations. This was a busy place on a Saturday night but, we got our party of 4 in within 10-15 minutes as they promised. Staff was attentive and owner very hands on. It is a very well run machine and it shows. We wanted for nothing. Had everything in a timely manner. Pretzel wIas great & clam chowder delicious! I think anything you order here would be very good. I look forward to my visit back here @ The Cape. Enjoy!“

“Great company very welcoming…“

“Just the best food in town. Amazing service. Killer oysters and oyster chowder and an A5 Waygu to die for!“

“Shortly after the restaurant opened we had two amazingly delicious meals at Cove Coastal Kitchen on Main Street in Hyannis. We were greeted immediately and brought to a table. Our waiter Luiz was very prompt and brought our menus and waters, along with a bottle of water for the table. He then asked if we would like something to drink in addition. I ordered peach sangria and it was fantastic. I ordered cacoila and littleneck clams and hubby ordered stuffed cod with shrimp mozambique. Both our meals were served with crispy potatoes and jagacida rice. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly, so much flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back. Service was exceptional and prompt.“

“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!!“

“Great food and friendly staff“

“Oh my god. The food here was so delicious. Hands down the best clam chowder that I have ever had. It was so different and lovely. It had this herby flavor to it that made it so much better. I got the lobster scampi, and oh my god, I am drooling just thinking about it again. I can't have garlic, and they were able to make it without the garlic, and it still tasted amazing. My boyfriend got the swordfish stead with sautéed vegetables and rice pilaf. They give a generous portion for the swordfish steak. It was very tender, it fell apart so easily. I have never seen my boyfriend enjoy a meal like that before. For dessert, I got the Molten Lava Cake, and my boyfriend got the Mud Pie. We both enjoyed our desserts so much that we almost asked for more. We were the only ones who wanted to sit outside, and I'm glad. It was such a beautiful night and the food was so delicious. Our waiter was amazing. He was so kind and great to talk to. I wish I could have their food every day. Oh, and the place is great for people in wheelchairs. You can even sit outside.

Dietary restrictions: I can't have dairy or garlic, and they were able to help me with that. I got the lobster scampi, and they were able to make it without the garlic.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is all one level, so it is very easy to get around, even if you want to dine outside.“

“We just had dinner at Scargo Cafe, it was fabulous! The food was cooked to perfection and our waitress Morgan was amazing! we can't wait to come back next year!“

“This place is hands down the absolute best!! The clam chowder was incredible and Matt, the bartender was funny, attentive and helpful! We are out of towners from Texas and huge foodies. It was all good!! We will absolutely be back. ❤️“

“Sitting at Baxter’s in Hyannis Harbor at sunset on a glorious September eve. Incredible sights to entertain on the harbor. Cool laidback staff, and Ryan, our college aged server is so friendly, efficient and accommodating. We ordered drinks and a fried seafood platter to share. Positively the freshest, juiciest clams, shrimp, scallops and haddock, cooked in the cleanest grease (obviously). This is the choice for authentic New England fare and waterfront dining. Add it to your list!“

“What a fantastic experience at the newly managed/owned Bluewater grill ….we had a great meal , great job and can’t wait to return. Wonderful views of the harbor as well.“

“We had dinner at The Pheasant, the service was warm and professional, the surroundings were intriguing and welcoming and the food….. the food was thoughtful, creative, and downright delicious. It’s the kind of meal where you talk about the taste, keep sharing bites and keep eating long past when you are satiated because it just tastes and feels so good. So many places fall down on the wine list and pairing knowledge, this is not the case at The Pheasant. Texture, taste, ingredients, presentation, wine pairings, all were spot on! Can’t wait to dine there again. Just do yourself a favor and dine there as well!“

“Delicious. Fresh bread, fresh seafood simply and expertly prepared. My brother had prime rib and loved it.“

“Been hoping to get here for a little while now..girls trip seemed perfect to try especially since my friend has a gluten free diet to adhere to and that can be so very challenging while dining out...first off we learned an order of fried clams can be made in a GF way and fried in separate oil...they were just delicious, crunchy, light. I think my friend Kathy said...you dont know how happy I am right now...that was awesome❤️...we had the most amazing server..never caught her name but she couldn't have been more accommodating and informative...they offer an early bird special between 4 and 6 with many options along with the addition of salad or chowder to start along with their incredibly interesting menu to choose from..chowder was flavorful and very creamy...warm rolls served also...yummy...we all had something different ..steak tips, BBQ Ribs, pork tenderloin and chicken..and as pedestrian as that may sound...the dinners were perfectly cooked with accompanying lovely sauces, homemade whipped potatoes and veggies which were cooked exactly how they should be...crunchy not soft and seasoned well...something simple done with a skilled hand is perfection...desserts...I am a dessert snob..I love to bake and I now only order dessert if they are made in house..and they are here...we had the unfried ice cream, the key lime pie and the smores in a jar...well...those were all stellar...my friend could have the unfried ice cream as it's made in a GF style..so nice to be able.to see her order food that isn't just salad and a bunless burger..so happy for the owners here that are pouring their hearts and souls into a fabulous new dining destination for the Yarmouth area...they have also done a beautiful job with the redesign and decor..cozy and inviting..can not wait to return...open Tuesday thru Saturday for dinner...get here and compliment the chef...he is rocking this place❤️“

“Was super pleasantly surprised! The service and food were great. Read the review about the breakfast potatoes but I actually really like them. Omelet was perfect size and toast and Biscuits were fresh and delicious. Prices were very reasonable and all the staff was super friendly. The atmosphere isn't special but it's a great place for a good solid experience.“

“Stopped in for the first time in a while only because we knew it was under new ownership. We appreciated the valet parking and all employees were very polite and friendly. Had a couple of good cocktails, not as heavy handed as we like but still good.
My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and service. Definitely will drop in again.“

“My favorite local spot with great staff and service. Highly recommended“

“OK this might be a hot take but i have had some of the best meals on the cape here! The broiled cod is some of the best. fresh and flaky and amazing. Sides are great. go on wednesday for 50 cent wings and they are actually really good! Drinks can be a little pricey but theyre always made well. Definitely a great option for any night or lunch while in town.“

“Excellent golf course layout with a fun but challenging course which is in excellent condition.Bunkers are strategically placed making the approach to greens also challenging.You will not be disappointed.After golf you can go restaurant on property for a beer or meal.I played many rounds and keep coming back.“

“We had such a great time, the food and service was top notch. The drinks were fantastic, our calamari app was gobbled up in minutes. Our entire table was raving about the chowder and broccoli cheddar soups and our seafood platters were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Samatha was wonderful, very patient and accomodating. This was the best dining experience we had on our trip. Thank you so much we'll be back again!“

“Always a terrific experience! Nice selection of wines (incl by the glass), creative cocktails and a wide variety of meals - sizes and tastes. Highly recommend!“
