Summer of 2019 Review. I have been taking my family of 5 to this restaurant for many years and have always enjoyed the food until this Summer. I believe the Soprano's group has ownership of this restaurant last Summer (2018) when our dining experience was very good. The wait staff and atmosphere were great as usual but the food was well below their usual standards. The meal started off promising with a nice fried calamari appetizer but went downhill from there. First off the meal for 5 was delivered in 3 separate time frames, several minutes between each, which required us to eat in shifts. The blackened fish tacos were overpowered with pepper and the spice was entirely too strong. The 1/2 lobster roll with cup of chowder special was served cold. The chowder was good but the lobster tasted bland and as if it were thawed out frozen and not fresh. The portions were also VERY SMALL and definitely not a great value for the "special of the day". Lastly, our son got the cheese raviolis which was a hardy portion serving. The issue with it was that the sauce tasted like "Chef Boyardee" from a can. I actually asked another member of our party to try the sauce and asked for their impression. Without prompting or giving my opinion, the other family member confirmed that the sauce reminded them of the Chef Boyardee brand as well. What surprised me was that with an Italian named restaurant like Soprano's, you would feel confident in ordering a pasta dish without hesitation. When asked by the waitress if "everything was ok?" we explained that we were "Summer regulars" and that by far this was the worst meal we've had at their restaurant. She responded that we were not the first to express our dissatisfaction and that other patrons had complained. She further stated that they were in the midst of some kitchen staff turnover and apologized for the subpar meal. We plan to return in the Summer if 2020 but if you're checking this out for a 2019 visit, you probably want to skip this place for now.

My wife and I stopped by on a weeknight at 5pm and told the hostess we just wanted to sit outside and have a few drinks. The outdoor area has a great view; second to none in Falmouth. We got a snooty "we'd ask that you sit at the bar if you don't order dinner" response which to me is completely tacky especially when the place is mostly empty. In any case, we told the hostess we'd order food which we were planning to all along; just an appetizer. Restaurants should treat people happily for just walking in and wanting to be in their establishment. We still bought two drinks and a pricey appetizer and the bill was nearly $50. The appetizer was good as were the cocktails we ordered. If this place could get over their pretentiousness then I'd recommend it, until then go somewhere else.

Weds evening at the Casino is part of our family's Thanksgiving tradition. They accomodated our party of twelve without issue. Thank you for making more great memories. See you in the Spring!

Great views during the summer! Service was okay but was towards the end of the season.

Everything was great, the food, the service, the selection choices on the special dinner menu. The only slight negative was that the restaurant was empty. Too bad that tourists want to stay downtown and don't frequent this waterfront gem in the off-season.

One of the worst restaurant meals in recent memory. The baked stuffed lobster special should have been sent back to the kitchen. It was dry due to over cooking. The stuffing had the texture and taste of beach sand. The clam chowder had little flavor. The lobster roll was stuffed with tired lobster meat and had little added flavor. The shrimp scampi was the most appealing but was uninspired. On the plus side, the service was excellent and parking across the street was convenient on the stormy September night we went there. Now we know why it was the only place in town we could sit down at without a wait on a Thursday evening. People vote with their feet.

Driving home on Labor Day weekend and we were looking for a good spot to have Sunday brunch. The Casino was on our way back to Boston, and it really hit the spot. It was rainy out, so we weren't able to take advantage of the spectacular view, but we will be back when the sun is shining. Service was very friendly and prompt and the food was quite tasty.

We were there for lunch on the afternoon of the partial eclipse. Sitting on the beautiful deck overlooking the ocean was perfect because we were able to watch the progression of the eclipse as well! Food and drink were great but our server was overworked and too busy to be attentive. Not his fault. But we enjoyed our visit and will return.
Beautiful place to dine by the ocean or have a special event!†This was a lovely summer lunch on the patio overlooking Falmouth Heights beach! It doesn't get any better than this! The restaurant is clean and beautiful inside and out. Our server was friendly and efficient. Our meals were delish, the Crispy Chicken or Turkey Burger both on pretzel rolls hit the spot. Years ago, my July wedding was here upstairs and it was spectacular! They even customized a cocktail for us. Judy, who at the time was the event planner, went above and beyond for us. Every detail from decorations to menu, to meeting the florist, cake delivery was done perfectly. Our 70 guests were very comfortable, the food was delish and they all had a great time. Over all I wouldn't change one thing about that day. This is the perfect venue for a seaside event!

Delicious food, lovely view of Vineyard Sound and Martha's Vineyard from outside deck. The seared sea scallops and risotto and the almond crusted salmon were delicious. Have eaten there many times and have not been disappointed.
Great outdoor beachside dining. Food was ok. Good selection. Lobster ravioli were a hit. Service was a little rushed even though the place was not full. Prices were not outrageous. Will go back for special occasions with out of town friends on a clear summer night. Definitely premium view
Arrived at 3:00 for our reservation but were told we had to wait until 4:00 for anything other than brunch. Had a drink at the bar while we waited which was a pleasure as the bartender was fantastic. When we were seated outside (one of two parties in the entire place) we noticed the table and general area were wet due to the fact the ceiling was dripping water everywhere. We asked to move to one of the five other open tables next to the railing but we're told they were all reserved. The hostess/waitress offered to 1. Sit us inside or 2. Move our wet table a little to the right. After a short argument detailing how absurd that was them, we opted for option 2 to keep our view. The food was alright but the overall experience left a bad taste in my mouth. It's a shame because the casino has amazing views and a lot of potential but honestly the BBC across the street has a lot more value.
