Our dinning experience did not let us down, 4 of had dinner and cocktails. Kitty the waitress was amazing and also the first “Kitty” I have ever met with the same name as me! Shrimp scampi, Seafood Alfredo and Ahi Tuna all exceeded our expectations.

First visit since the remodel! Great service, amazing appetizers, phenomenal entrees. Would 10/10 recommend and dine again.
Susan
Always great food and great service, not to mention a wonderful, varied menu. And the restaurant is open off-season when others are not.
Joe
We had a relaxed and enjoyable time during our meal. Kate who was our server did an excellent job and was very personable and friendly. The food was excellent. We will be back again.

Had Easter dinner here and it was phenomenal from service to the meal! Atmosphere was extremely cozy and comfortable. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

We have been delighted by dinner at Pate's Restaurant so many times over the years. Our overall experience at Easter brunch today was disappointing. We didn't know they were open for brunch until we recently saw their menu on facebook, but when we heard, we canceled our reservation at another establishment to be able to visit Pates. Our waitress was friendly and quickly upsized us on our drink order. She made glowing remarks about our food selection. We started with clam chowder which was warm but not hot. We wanted the usual tabasco accompaniment, but she delivered the chowder quickly and took off before we could comment. We didn't see her for quite some time after. It was not very busy there. By the time she got back to us, our chowder was cold and our main dish was served. We didn't finish our chowder and she asked if she could remove it since the entree had arrived. She had no comment about why we didn't finish, or why our brunch was served before our first course was finished. My husband had smoked salmon benedict and he liked it. I had eggs on avocado toast over arugula salad. The eggs were not overcooked but they were cold. The salad would have been delightful with heirloom tomatoes, seasonal radish and arugula which was very fresh. However, it was overdressed and drowned in the balsamic. Fresh is wonderful but I couldn't fully appreciate the exceptional greens. We looked forward to dessert, but alas, they had no dessert at all. We thought that Easter brunch is not remarkable without some chocolate or other seasonal concoction What would the Easter bunny think! The quality of ingredients is high so we weren't quibbling over price, but we do note that our server was friendly but not too aware, and we think the quality of ingredients was high, but prep and kitchen timing was mediocre. Since we have had many fine dinners at Pates, and we often give gift certificates to friends from Pates, we are not giving up on them. Next year, we hope they consider

The food was good, but we waited possibly 40 minutes between our appetizer and the main course. After about 30 minutes the waitress explained that the kitchen was backed up badly. I believe earlier communication would have helped. She mentioned that a number of the cooks were new. Our food finally arrived. A couple near us who were seated about 10 minutes after us got their entry before we did. I understand it is the start of the season and we will be back, but management should know of the issue.

Filet all fat. Brought a new which was fine but with with the same sides that were charred from sitting under the broiler. Three water requests unfulfilled. No real attempts to rectify things. Disappointing

Our first experience at Pate's with new ownership. The food was honestly the best we've had in recent memory. Highly recommend the pork chops and the filet. Our guests had the salmon and the pasta dish and were raving about them. Can't wait to go back!

Want to shout out Xander who was a phenomenal bartender, a great vibe and 10/10 hospitality.
We got there early around 6 at the bar. Attentive staff, but we felt rushed right away. We ordered drinks the appetizers. They came out really fast. Then the mains, which were off the mark. My husband had the swordfish, which was a bit dry and I got the pasta dish that had white sauce and ground meat with some peas and carrots. It was off putting. No seasoning at all either had to ask for salt that was caked in the shaker. Thinking of that dish still makes me feel queasy.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner for 4 to celebrate our mother's birthday in September! Our server was warm & friendly, and we got the chance to see the Chef to say hello. Special night all around!
Such a varied and interesting menu! My meal was outstanding.

I had the clam chowder and it was very rich and tasty. I also had the swordfish special the name of which somewhat undersold the excellent dish which was Asian fusion in a noodle and vegetable soup. Really remarkable and this from someone who really uses those words to describe food.

Sometimes, you order something and it's not what you expected. That happened to us on a dinner we ordered last Friday night. Our server, and her manager could not have handled it better. Can't wait to give it another try!!
