Restaurants near Brewster

“Wanted to find a spot that I haven't been before while here in the Cape. Came across this eatery located on a beautiful golf course. We sat outside under the umbrella and our meal and service was outstanding. Nice scenery to enjoy a meal.”

“Awesome food, atmosphere, and fabulous service!!!!”

“the calzones we ordered were amazing. One bbq chicken and the other was buffalo chicken and they were perfection. I can't wait to go back and order their pizza.”

“I can’t comment on the rooms here as we joined them for their restaurant only, but I can say that the food, service and ambiance are all excellent. Ingredients are obviously of primary importance to the chef, and the dishes are very well prepared and presented. It is expensive and the clientele tends to be older, though not exclusively so. There is ample seating inside and out.

Food & drinks: Food is very good: fresh ingredients and artistically presented.”

“CAFE ALFRESCO IS THE BEST!! The food is so good and they have such variety. The employers are sweet and speedy. The outdoor space is so fun, especially in the summer. 10/10 recommend!!”

“Excellent coffee and great pours !”

“We’ve been coming here for almost 30 years and have loved every moment. We don’t expect perfection, but we always get perfection as we feel it is. Maybe the staffing was difficult at times during Covid, but they always tried their hardest and we were very happy. And the food is always delicious. We love to come here, and not only feel lucky to be able to, but also feel fortunate to bring family members and friends who have enjoyed and love the restaurant too.”

“Just stopped here for our last breakfast out on our way home from our week stay. The gift shop is beautiful, and the bakery is so worth the visit. I grabbed a variety of muffins and scones for my family, and all items were delicious and fresh. Everything about the Hopkins House Bakery has put it at the top of my must-visit-again list.”

“Outstanding food. Nice atmosphere. Excellent waitstaff! Definitely a new favorite.”

“this is the best place to ever exist. go here. seriously.”

“I wish I took a picture of my scoop! New flavor: sea salt caramel cookie was 12/10. Highly recommend if you are looking for a treat after dinner. The Brewster general store is just next door and is a cute place to visit.”

“I had the crab cakes . They were the best crab cakes I have ever eaten. Luckily I only ate one so I will be able to savor the other one tomorrow night. Yum !!”

“This is a take-out/delivery restaurant, but you can also sit and eat inside. If you do that however, you should know you’ll have all plastic plates, etc.

Now, the food was very good! We all really enjoyed the sushi! It was just right in every way and you can see the Chef takes pride in their artistry.

Great meal! Next time we’ll just take it to go :)).”

“Cool place to hang and throw darts.”

“Laurinos is a go to restaurant when you want something for everyone! Some favorites: Big Mac pizza w/cauli-crust, wedge salad, tasty burger, fish sammy, veggie quesadilla, steak tips & music on Monday!”

“Natesha was great! Great service all night and super professional with allergy concerns”

“The Gals are fast accurate and personal You lucked out there they should be training other franchises Truly appreciate that service Jst reduce the cost LOL”

“THINGS TO DO: We obviously had a rental car (from Hyannis Airport), and it was massively helpful/useful as we used it constantly. For us, the Villages was a unique, affordable (most of the top properties are at least $1K/night) "home base" for us in the Brewster/Hyannis/Barnstable/Provincetown area. We had a 3-night stay and deliberately didn't do a ton at Villages or Mansion (though there is certainly a plethora of options). We had dinner one night at Linx (which was okay - not bad, but not super memorable) and then another night at the Ocean Bar to watch the sunset (this is a MUST do as it is the best spot at either Villages or Mansion to see the sunset) -- food was decent here.

At Britterige Village (part of the Villages), we were within easy walking distance of several excellent cafes, such as Snowy Owl Cafe, Kitchen Cafe, and JT's Seafood. We ate at all of these (especially for either breakfast or coffee at the Snowy Owl Cafe and Kitchen Cafe), and it was a nice change to simply walk back/forth.

We also did a day trip to Provincetown (highly, highly recommended) where we had both breakfast and lunch. Another day we visited local friends in Barnstable for an evening BBQ.

Pro dessert tip: Check out "Eat Cake 4 Breakfast," which is a famous bakery nearby for delicious treats!

We deliberately didn't use the pools or beach, etc., but appreciated that we were able to access the Mansion private beach, despite staying at the Villages during the Memorial Day-Labor Day timeframe where generally you can't do this if you're at the Villages.

STAFF: This is the "secret sauce" of any solid property, and Ocean Edge is no different. The GM Robert Newman was very gracious, and special thanks to Marc Bauman (resort manager) who kept an eye on us and was super helpful with our small requests. Also thank you to Michael Medeiros for helping us arrange a private pickleball lesson.

Everyone else we encountered during our stay would have a smile, and deliberately did what was possible to go the extra mile. For example, I recall when we were trying to get food/drinks ordered at the busy Ocean Bar, and a kind male server/bartender spotted us and ran over to take our order.

The housekeeping also seemed efficient and timely.

VILLAGES V. MANSION: We haven't ever stayed at the Mansion so can't comment on the difference, but think of both of them as massive college campuses that are about 4-5 blocks (~0.4-0.5 miles) apart from each other. There is a constant shuttle loop from Villages.

The Mansion is definitely where there is "more action" -- a gigantic lawn where tons of folks are playing games, eating food, chilling on chairs, etc., and far more eateries/restaurants, a private beach, etc.

But, like the Villages -- it is also super spread out and you need to plan to do a ton of walking.

ROOM/APT: My wife and I really loved the "apartment" style hotel-room with a spacious living room and kitchen. We knew the setup in advance, so we deliberately went to a Trader Joe's near the Hyannis airport and got some small groceries like yogurt, fruit, water, etc.

We correctly predicted that water wouldn't be provided in the room (other than by tap) so we were glad to get water bottles.

TV/WIFI: A nice touch that Netflix is loaded onto the TV as we signed into our account and enjoyed a nightly Netflix watching to help us wind down. A tiny point, but I would have liked the bedroom TV to be as large as the living room TV, but not a big deal.

AC: Many, many reviews here comment about the "loud" AC units. This is true. However, we are from New York City and sleep with an AC unit on and the occasional sirens blaring (though we are on a very high floor). You do need to adjust the AC units”

“We had the most incredible wedding experience at Ocean Edge!!! Working with the wedding venue coordinator, Ana Goulet, Ocean Edge Resort in Brewster, MA was FANTASTIC!From the very beginning, she was attentive, organized, and truly listened to our vision for the big day. She made sure every detail was taken care of, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the process. The communication was always clear, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, both before and during the wedding. Ana’s professionalism and warmth was unmatched, and we couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator. Our wedding day was flawless, thanks in large part to her expertise and dedication. Highly recommend this venue and coordinator! Emily & Chris 10.11.2024”

“Visiting the Cape from West Coast and tried Drifters. Simply put, this is a great place. Pre-dinner drinks in bar were top notch. Menu has typical dishes with unique and high end twist. Fresh oysters and short rib pasta were so delicious. Highly recommend.”

“I LOVE this place! The ladies who work there are all so so friendly and the food is 10/10! Definitely one of my favorite places to eat when visiting Cape Cod!”

“Excellent breakfast and service!”

“The food is excellent! We moved from R.I and found our place! The staff is super friendly and kind! We love the atmosphere very much!!! So much so I would love to work there! 😊”

“We had great service and a delicious meal surrounded by beautiful gardens!”

“Loved the sign about the cat”

“Chatham Moods is one of my local favorites. Chef Orlando has a great menu offering fresh, healthy food with a Jamaican flare. The Salmon Bowl if my go-to favorite, but the Chicken Caesar, Tuna and Buddha Bowls are equally good (haven't tried the Steak yet!). They have vegetarian options and are great about adjusting an item to accommodate any dietary needs you may have. The Juice and Smoothie menu is terrific also.
They recently added a new bar to serve a good selection of wines and beer to accompany your meal. The staff are all terrific and the atmosphere is friendly.”

“Excellent dinners! Good service. Beautifully decorated inside...so Italy! Highly recommend!”

“Good food, great trad session. However my wife and I were seated far away in the corner away from the musicians because of "reservations". The better tables sat vacant. I feel like we were treated like second class citizens. Not good for business. We were there two hours. Tables still vacant.”

“For an unparalleled dining experience on Cape Cod, look no further than this distinguished restaurant, where the elegant dining room overlooks Nantucket Sound, creating a sensation akin to dining on a luxury cruise ship amidst the majestic ocean swells of Dennis. The exceptional cuisine is further enhanced by the Omakase, a carefully selected array of five seasonal small plates prepared by the chef, utilizing only the freshest, locally sourced, and organic ingredients. #summah2024 #oceanhouseresturant #omakase see photo captions for cuisine details.”
