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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“How I wish there was a KKatie's burger in NJ! We visited while on vacation in the area. This was in the best hamburger of my life! The other 3 people said their's were awesome, but I can only speak for myself. When ordering, they ask if you want it pink inside. Otherwise, they're cooked well done. Mine was perfectly pink inside. The bacon was crispy enough to bite, but not crumbly / overdone. The burger was huge, probably close to a half pound, so go there hungry! I opted for the cole slaw side. It was creamy and delicious. Definitely made in-house. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! Please, please open one near me!“

“Delicious meal ; great service!!“

“Everyone is so nice and the food is good!“

“Chef Matt Lyon kills it! Highly recommend!“

“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❤️“

“We love the Cowmunity! The Sailing Cow is now our number vacation spot to visit! The service, food, and legen-dairy atmosphere is worth the trip. They were beyond kind to my elderly grandfather while on our vacation, and we will surely be back. Thank you Sailing Cow!“

“Wings are AMAZING! Best wings on The Cape!, there’s no comparison!!! JADE is the most welcoming employee they have! She always has a smile on her face, willing to answer questions and always friendly! If she isn’t the biggest asset to DJ’s wings then I don’t know what is!“

I forgot his name, but it was around 2ish.“

“We were pleasantly surprised to find Helen's Diner open during our last visit. We've always enjoyed the great food & service in a fun 1950's decor setting. Clean and friendly place for breakfast though we were sad to learn this will be their last season since planned renovations to the Tidewater Inn include changing the diner into a restaurant with a bar.“

“The Dog House is a must stop if you are visiting Dennisport in the summer. The food is very well made, staff are always friendly. The Lobster Roll is one of the best I've had on Cape Cod, very well prepared and tons of Lobster meat (see photo). Great drinks as well, great outdoor dining. They are open seasonally, so check their website for hours.“

“We dined here last night and had a fantastic experience- our server, Princess, was one in a million. Professional, friendly and just a kind human. Most servers are less than thrilled when we ask about dairy being in certain items- but not Princess. She went above and beyond and completely made our night. She made us laugh (to the point of tears) and was just a joy to speak with. 🌸🌸🌸“

“Great food and prices! Try it out! Support your local restaurants!“

“Chicken noodle soup was so good I had to grab two pints before coming back to NY and a shirt. The staff is always so nice and welcoming. Met the guy who made the soup, he knew I was traveling with it so he hooked me up with a huge bag of ice and put the bag together. The one lady bagged the noodles separate so they couldn't absorb the soup, really kind thoughtful people.“

“Six member out of state Family reunion dinner Clancy’s restaurant on September 19, 2022. Menu selections are wonderful Food was excellent Service was outstanding , Leary our waiter was the best.

“Best wings ever! Must try!!“

“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!“

“This is the best place to have breakfast. The food is great and the staff is wonderful. I look forward to going there whenever I am on the Cape even on a daily basis :)“
