This is my go to spot where I know I will never be disappointed in my meal. The artichoke cakes are out of this world, bbq nachos are phenomenal, homemade ranch you could drink. I could go on and on. Highly recommend!!!

I've been twice. My buddy who works across the street had me meet him for breakfast a couple years back, and I have to say the cauliflower linguica hash changed my life. I finally got my wife in last week for dinner, and we were very happy with our food . My wife's gnocchi were (sorry) pillowy, and my stuffed cod was everything I would want in this dish. Drinks and service were great. The only anchor on this experience was a slightly slow delivery of food, which wouldn't cross our radar normally. Being a post Labor Day mid week meal, I get it, but maybe don't hang out in the public eye and make it obvious. That said, recommended, and I'll be back.

Everything from appetizers to drinks is amazing. A must for dinner when staying in Eastham every summer!Vegetarian options: They have several options in appetizers, salads and dinners.Kid-friendliness: Good kids menu with the regular items. Grilled cheese is amazing
The food was delicious and beyond extraordinary. I’m vegetarian so it’s hard for me to find places to eat and on top of that I’m extremely picky….but right as I got handed the menu my face lit up with joy. The waiters/waitress are the nicest people and are very accommodating and will answer any questions you may have. The food was mind blowing and I am beyond pleased with my meal. I went with my family as a party of five and everyone of our plates were clean to the touch after our meal. My sister described us as “the clean plate club” because never once had that happened when we go out to eat. Although this is far from my home I will without a doubt take the drive just to eat here again. Everything about the environment was so welcoming and the paintings on the wall were all beautiful and displayed with care. This is by far my new favorite place to eat and I’m so glad I got to experience this wonderful evening at my new favorite restaurant. Thank you to all the workers who made my families and I experience as wonderful as it was. No complaints and no negative comments. Thank you again to all of the workers including the head chef who is so very talented and provided such amazing food.

So happy I came here with my family! All the food was homemade down to the salad dressing! I am vegan and gluten free and they had many options that were labeled on the menu. I recommend the falafel salad, the roasted Brussel sprouts, and my family loved the carrot cake. Definitely coming back soon. Complements to the chef, I haven’t had food this delicious in years!Vegetarian options: Had multiple vegan and vegetarian options on the menu that were labeled! The choices were unique and delicious!

I went with my vegan partner and non-vegan family, and WOW. It was such a huge hit all around. I got the cauliflower picatta and my partner got the falafel salad. We both absolutely loved the food! Also we all split the artichoke balls to begin with and literally cant stop talking about them, vegan and non vegans alike. We also had the mezze plate which was delicious with great hummus- however if you're ordering the falafel salad choose a different app as they are made of mostly the same stuff. So thankful to this place for providing us with delicious vegan food.

Next level awful service. Food runner is drinking with the bartender behind the bar while people are waiting 15 minutes for their drinks. Server is way too disorganized and this place is empty. She's not even looking at the table, asks the table how we're doing and runs away before she gets an answer. I ordered the gnocchi bolognese and it came out cold, with less than half of the dishes for my table, and the rest came out almost 10 minutes later. And who on earth puts so much cinnamon in their bolognese to the point where it's sweet?!? Nasty.Not to mention the incredible amount of dust everywhere. It's just disgusting! Get takeout if anything at all. Cobwebs and cleanliness of the main space concerns me for the state of the kitchen.Editing to add that we came in at 5:30, not 6 as the owner claims and the owner removed the photos of dust and cobwebs in the main room. You can claim you clean every night but we saw what we saw. Surprised you let a 16 year old behind the bar for any reason as well.
Excellent meal with my family last night. Hors d'oeuvres were very good and my fish toccos wirh house salid were excellent. Good saelection of beer and mixed drinks. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. It was not crowded, but don't be fooled by cars in the lot. We were not rushed, and the food was excellent for the price paid. I will go back.

I really wanted to love this place, but it fell short of my expectations. I knew it was a bad sign when we showed up at 6:15 and noticed the restaurant was mostly empty. We did request to eat outdoors because they have a lovely yet casual deck out front. The service was very, very slow. We learned that 1 of the 2 servers scheduled to work had called in. With that said, the 1 server did an amazing job working both inside and outside tables, so no complaints there. The menu didn't contain nearly the amount of seafood one would expect from a place named "Brine". They also had some really fun cocktails. I ordered the Thumpertown Sangria, and it was delightfully refreshing. I hope that the management makes a few improvements such as having more than just 2 servers scheduled for dinner. add more seafood dishes and spruce up that beautiful deck just a bit. There is o much potential. Just hope they make some changes before they end up closing, just like so many other restaurants on the Cape.

Despite good reviews, I admit I was shook when we were the only ones in there on a Friday night in July. But eventually others came in during our meal, thought it definitely wasn't close to full by the time we left around 7:30.I'm pretty chill about service, but I did get a little apprehensive when we were seated for a good 10-15 minutes before anyone came around to check on us. And then our drink order took another 15 minutes in a nearly-empty restaurant more than hour after opening. (We were told the bartender was still getting set up.)But the food definitely was above average in both quality and quantity and the cocktails were decent. Not my top choice for a dinner in the area, but not a bad fallback plan at all. I'd absolutely go back if I couldn't get into one of my preferred places nearby.

Had to check this place out bc it's been so many things but Brine seems to be sticking. Service was great. Not too crowded around happy hour, chill vibes. Food was great. I got scallops which were amazing and cooked to perfection. Husband got the chicken sandwich and ended up eating it with a fork bc the bread was too hard. Toasted ciabatta might not be the best choice for a large sandwich but the chicken was good and flavors were there.

I was so excited to try this place, having a bunch of labeled vegan options on the menu. We had the peanut cauliflower app (our favorite), crispy Brussels sprouts, artichoke fritters, and the black bean burger. We wanted to love it more than we did, it was all just okay.
The staff were all amazingly friendly and nice, but service was really slow on the front and back ends of the meal, probably due to understaffing. We arrived around 5:30 with only a few tables filled, and waited a long time to see the server. After we received the bill we waited over ten minutes, never saw the server again, and finally asked the host if we could pay because we had be somewhere.
There was one fantastic server for the whole restaurant- no matter how fantastic a server is, it's too much for one person. The decor and ambiance also left much to be desired.
