Went in for dinner this weekend and the food was Mid, the service wasn’t great it took forever to get our food and the server forgot our apps! We got just a quahog and chowder so it wasn’t anything crazy to remember. The place was busy with an event or dinner of some sort and We had great service at the bar last summer with one of the bartenders which we didn’t see her there this weekend or else we would have just sat at the bar instead. I was surprised because we have eaten here last summer pretty often the food use to be sooo good and we’re too busy this year till now. Next time we will just eat at the bar and hopefully get the same person as last time she was amazing and so efficient I can’t remember her name but she said she had been there for a while.

This restaurant has a fabulous location that looks down the Swan River to it's outlet into the ocean. The interior is a bit rustic and Spartan, but bright. The views of the river are visible from all throughout the restaurant and the small outside deck.

It's a casual place so you can come as you are. We didn't see many kids while we were there, but it seemed kid friendly.

The offerings are typical Cape seafood at Cape prices. That said, they know how to prepare it to perfection and the portions are fair. I'd love to see a wider selection of appetizers and desserts, but the main courses are delicious.

I’ve been coming to Swan River for years. Busy or slow, it doesn’t matter - the service is always excellent, and the food is always delicious. I usually prefer to sit outside for the views, but the dining room and bar are also excellent. My favorites are the beach bread, beach burger, and fish & chips.

The lobster roll tastes like cinnamon, no lobster flavor. They use Old Bay seasoning. It contains spices which includes cinnamon. NOT LISTED ON.THE MENU. Be caref!

We had our rehearsal dinner at Swan River Restaurant and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. We worked with Marita, who was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond to make the night seamless and special, always calm, patient, and so easy to work with. Her communication throughout the process was top-notch, and she made everything stress-free. The evening turned out beautifully, and our guests raved about the food, service and atmosphere. We highly recommend Marita and Swan River Restaurant for any special event!

We had our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks at Swan River and it was one of my favorite parts of our wedding weekend!! We met with Marita a year ago to see the restaurant and after speaking with her for about 5 minutes we booked it on the spot! She was so welcoming and accommodating I had zero worries about our event! She set us up in the main bar area and the dining room directly off of the bar. Great with communication and she reached out a couple weeks before the day to finalize counts and food choices. The day of, she let us come in early with our decor to set up and was there to help. The night of, we arrived and the food was delicious, staff was great, and timing of the rest of the dinner was fantastic. I think they had another rehearsal dinner going on in another part of the restaurant, but I didn't even notice because we had great service and the set up of the restaurant was perfect. Also have to mention that the view is beautiful. When we shifted into our welcome drinks, we had about 120 people roll in. Everyone had a blast and the staff handled it with ease. Would highly recommend for any event and I am looking forward to going back for dinner during our future Cape visits!! Thank you!!

We chose the Swan River to host our wedding rehearsal dinner in September and are so glad we did. We were roughly 20 people that fit perfectly on the outside deck overlooking the best sunset. The food and service were exceptional as always and made our special night one to remember. Huge thank you to Marita and all the staff. We would recommend Swan River to any other couple looking to have a rehearsal dinner here!

Our evening at the Swan River was a delicious experience. Our server was attentive and friendly and the meals were some of the best we’ve had on the Cape.
