New American Restaurants near Harwich, MA

“The Thanksgiving buffet was a cornucopia of dishes. Raw bar, carving stations, and a Macallan tasting station, to name just some. The food, the service and the ambiance was exceptional. Lastly, the chef and his staff ensured all patrons were satisfied. This was a Thanksgiving to remember!“

“Thoreau's is the pub area of twenty-eight Atlantic at the Wequassett Resort in Cape Cod. We dined here one night, and at twenty-eight Atlantic the other night. Both experiences were fantastic. We loved the decor of Thoreau's, which is a little more laid back. All the paneled wooded walls in the dining room are really nice, but most importantly, the food and service at this establishment are fantastic! Both restaurants are a must visit, especially if you're staying at the resort.“

“I am finally taking the time to add my review of Spinnaker. Right from the start Andrea the co-owner is the most accommodating, friendly and upbeat person you will ever meet. She is always willing to fit my wife and I in and always welcomes us like family to the restaurant. The service is stellar, a great group of professional team members that treat all patrons like royalty. The atmosphere is quaint and very comfortable. Very good sound levels and no bad tables. Rob, co-owner and chef is as good as you will ever find on the cape. The food is consistently excellent and you can tell he takes pride in every meal that leaves the kitchen. Rob and Andrea have a background in food preparations with roots in the North End of Boston as well as Italy. The menu is not extensive but every meal is of the highest quality. There is a good mix of seafood, Italian and American cuisine. My wife and I believe that Spinnaker has raised food to the next level on Cape Cod“

“Food was good, but not perfectly prepared. Delicious coffee, scrambled eggs, corned beef hash and popover — BUT, the popover was not only not hot, but actually cooler than room temp, and the corned beef hash was really more like pulled beef with some scattered potatoes. Nothing wrong with the flavor, but not really a hash. Prices are just a tad on the high side. The place is adorable, hip and comfortable. Service was very fast. I’ll definitely give it another try.“

“Wonderful restaurant....with a large bar area in a separate area.We split a large ceasar salad between 3...it could have fed 4 or more.Scallops were plentiful...Lamb chops were seasoned perfectly....over white beans....and the asparagus was cooked perfectly as well.The steaming bowl was full of seafood over a small amount of pasta. The broth was exceptional as was the service.“

“We went on a snowy Friday and were able to be seated immediately. Food is always great but the winter salad was beyond great. Pizza and portabella sandwich were both satisfying. Host staff were very kind and the owner was making sure everyone was happy.“

“Our first time dining at the Barley Neck. It was a great find.Our server Peter, was amazing and the food didn't disappoint. Peter was so attentive, friendly and added a wonderful touch to our dining experience .Peter had recommended a popular cod dish on the menu and so glad he did . We appreciated his over and beyond service, even to double check that the cod dish hadn't sold out, since it was a hopping Saturday night.I had the garden salad and pizza special and my husband had the cod dish which we shared. We enjoyed every bite of such a wide spread of delicious flavors. If the night couldn't be any better we had great entertainment from a three member band ! This topped off a ideal and joyful evening. Thank you Peter and the skilled chefs at Barley Neck and great band!“

“Stars delivered an unforgettable Valentine's Day experience. From delectable dishes to divine deserts, every bite was a culinary delight. The attentive customer service added a touch of warmth to the evening. It's a perfect destination for any special occasion.“

“Down here on a long weekend from the North Shore. Absolutely amazing restaurant. The atmosphere, service, quality of food and drink are second to none. Our 2 daughters have food allergies and they accommodated them with ease. Our server George was Top Shelf all around. Best Crock of French Onion I have ever had, the flatbreads were amazing, and the martinis were to die for. When we received the tab it was very reasonable. Looking to come back tomorrow for seconds!“

“First time at Encore, and let me tell you it will not be the last! 10/10. 5 ⭐️sMight become a regular! From beginning to end, amazing service!

Thank you Encore for an incredible night! Can’t wait to be back!“

“We went to dinner here on Friday 8.18.23 at about 7pm for our daughter's 27th Birthday. There were 5 of us in total. We were seated, right away, at a high top table- which was great. Our server was excellent. We ordered some drinks which came right away. My husband ordered a burger, I ordered the brisket sandwich. My daughter and her girlfriend ordered a pasta dish and buffalo chicken. Our son got chicken tenders.My husband, son and my dishes came out first. The server went to get the girls dishes. During that time my husband cut his burger in half. It was absolutely raw. He ordered medium. When the server returned with the other meals he looked at the burger and said "did you order it mooing?". We laughed and he took it back to the kitchen. All perfectly fine. When he returned with a new burger that was not raw, a manager was with him. The server was gracious and kind, apologizing for the error and said he is taking the burger off the check. The manager then stepped forward, and in a VERY rude tone asked my husband to cut his burger, and said "I want to make sure you aren't going to send it back again".It comes off ok when I write it out, but believe me when I say... it was said in a rude and condescending tone.My husband kept his cool, even though I know he wanted to tell that manager to shove the burger where the sun doesn't shine. It was our daughters dinner and we did not want to make an issue.They did take the burger off the bill, which we appreciated the SERVER very much.The 2nd burger was just OK. The kids ate their meals, which they reported as "pretty good". My brisket was pretty bland, but saved by the horseradish sauce which was delicious.We won't go back. Even if the food was amazing, we didn't like the feeling of being talked to like that from anyone, never mind management.I'd like to stress again, it sounds in writing like the manager was just making sure my husband was happy with the newly cooked burger... which would have been appreciated.He was RUDE. He was visually annoyed and had a wicked tone. We were embarrassed, like he was implying we got the 1st burger and some how reversed the cooking process to make it raw and complain. Funny, it was our SERVER who said first that our burger was still Mooing!!!!Anyways, I know less than great reviewers get torn apart so I have thought over a week about if I would review. I decided I'd rather give an honest review about an ok meal with a great server and a terrible manager, than not say a thing.“
