Food and drinks were good. But overall experience was TERRIBLE!!! We live a mile from the restaurant and have been there many times. We had a 5:15 rez (since we made it just a week ago) and were right on time. We had drinks, appetizers and entrees. When it was time to order desert, our waitress brought menus (around 7:15) and then said we had to be out in 15 minutes because the had another reservation—the first we heard there was a hurry. Since there was no time for desert we then paid. My wife complained to the woman at the desk who said “two hours is industry standard” and they gave us “15 extra minutes”. We have eaten all over the world and never been treated like this. NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN!!!

Visited with a party of nine. Everyone was very happy with their meal. I had the Atlantic Cod and found it outstanding. Service was good. Make your reservation early. We had to squeeze this in later in the evening.

Service was genuinely horrible, I’m in the service industry and understand that Saturday nights can be overwhelming, however at a nice restaurant you would expect a certain level of service and it was severrrrely lacking. We had to ask bussing staff to put in drink orders because our Server could not give us any time of her day. I would personally never return because we felt like the service was wildly inhospitable and unkind. Would give it less stars if the food wasn’t good but it was fine. As a member of the service industry you need to be able to leave your attitude at the door and tend to your guests and provide AT LEAST the minimum amount of service required for us to have a pleasant experience.

A white table cloth place with service to match. Dress up a bit. Creative cocktails, very nice selection of wines by the glass. The pate was well seasoned with classic accompaniments, and the striped bass special had an interesting and flavorful blend of tropical ingredients.

I have been dining at the Cape Sea Grille for more than a decade. It is one of the finest seafood restaurants in the Northeast. My family and my clients have never had a bad meal there. That said, for our meal there two weeks ago, Owners Jennifer and Doug Ramler outdid themselves and went far beyond the “seafood” label. My wife had the Veal entree, my grandson had the Duck and I had the Tuna. As we made our way through the evening, we each remarked that this was one of the best meals we have ever had. For context, we have dined all over the U.S., in Paris, in Rome and in Tuscany, in Santorini and in the Caribbean. This is a restaurant you must visit!

We had dinner for my husband’s birthday and everything was wonderful. From the moment we were sat at this cute table to the desert, we were delighted. The appetizer was very interesting, and the main course was flavorful, but needs some work on decoration. However, I would prefer food to be really tasty, than JUST looking nice. We appreciated the small gesture of placing a candle on the dessert AND glad they did not sing!!! Will definitely come back 😊

Long wait time for food on a Wednesday evening even with a reservation. The food itself was disappointing (overcooked, over-salted, etc). It’s also not a very welcoming environment and the interior is stuffy, could definitely use some updating. My advice: go somewhere else if you’re under the age of 65.

We have been going to the Cape Sea Grille for years and it just gets better each time. Had the local Stripped Bass special tonight rather than my usual, Swordfish Picatta, and I was not disappointed. Wonderful mix of flavors. Thanks goes to the owners/chef and staff for a delicious and enjoyable night.
Had a wonderful meal the other night. Wonderful restaurant with a very attentive staff. Drinks and food were great. Wish they had Ghost Tequila though. Only complaint is we had to order apps and dinner at the same time. Appetites can change your mind on what you want to eat, especially when it is your first time eating there. They were perfectly timed though and we never felt rushed. Loud energetic atmosphere.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at this spot and we couldn’t have a lovelier experience. He had the duck, I had the lobster, scallop, and shrimp stew. Both were fantastic and worth the price! Service was exceptional as well. Highly recommended!

Ordered $49 lobster, shrimp, scallops pasta dish: lobster claw shrimp, 2 small scallops. It wasn't worth $20 for so little seafood! Their appetizers had more! My wife had chicken. So dry and overcooked she didn't finish it! I rarely post a bad review, but
