"Thank you to everyone at the Navillus bar & grill for a wonderful dining experience!"
"We had an amazing time. The food & drinks was delicious,my daughter really enjoyed her birthday dinner, but only because you guys made it possible. Thank you for your hard work & dedication in providing excellent service."
Carolyn Schwarz
Navillus has become our new number one. Tucked away from the usual crowds, this under-the-radar spot deserves way more attention than it gets. The menu is a breath of fresh air—creative, vibrant, and clearly crafted by a team that cares about every detail, from bold flavors to artful presentation.
Every dish feels like a surprise in the best way possible—fresh ingredients, unexpected pairings, and plating that makes you pause before diving in. The staff is just as impressive: welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food they serve.
It’s rare to find a place that hits every mark—taste, originality, service, and atmosphere—but this restaurant nails it. Whether you're a foodie looking for something new or just craving a meal that feels truly special, this place is more than worth discovering.

What a welcome addition to the neighborhood! Sean and his team have done a wonderful job putting together a unique menu of Cape Cod-inspired dishes that accommodate a diverse population of dietary preferences and restrictions, representing different cultural influences, and palette pleasers. The dining space is crisp and lovely, and feels surprisingly big and bright after its unassuming shopping mall entrance. It has fast become a favorite in our household, and we wish the team continued success!

Service excellent, food excellent, atmosphere I loved it. A nice change of pace from lobsters on the wall everywhere ;). But really a great meal!! Highly recommend

If you haven’t been to Navillus yet, you’re seriously missing out. As self-proclaimed foodies, we’ve dined at countless places, including some of the best high end spots, but this place has quickly become our favorite. The ambiance strikes that perfect balance of cozy yet modern, and the staff? Incredible.

Wow, just wow!! It's not every day that I can finish my whole entre AND dessert.
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendliest staff! The drink selection was great, our waitress (I think her name was Izzy) gave us some great recommendations, and delivered our drinks very promptly. I tried calamari for the first time and it was tender and flavorful. The menu boasted some unique offerings and a variety of each seafood, meat and vegetarian options. All I'm saying is this: You can't go wrong. We ended up sharing bites of many of our entres, and everything was cooked to perfection. Not only were the portions perfect (and generous) but the service was VERY well paced and we had room to enjoy every phase of our meal. I already can't wait to return and bring our friends here! The owner and staff should be very proud- we are super happy to have this establishment in town.
Pictured is my empty plate of fish tacos. My only problem is that I'll never want a fish taco from anywhere else again, because these were THE best.

We had a vegetarian in our group and we loved the Cauliflower appetizer and he said the portobello sandwich was EXCEPTIONAL. They charred the mushroom which gave it a nice grilled flavor!

What a delightful find in Orleans. Met a friend for dinner tonight, which turned out to be Ramen night (Mondays). We each ended up getting Ramen (pork belly and fried chicken). It was flavorful and packed with yumminess. I loved the chili oil it came with. Our drinks were decent, but the wait time for the food was quite long…. I could feel they were understaffed. I would definitely go back, though, to try more on the regular menu.

Go for: Steaks and seafood in modern, open concept space.
Avoid if: You cannot bring yourself to eat at a newer restaurant in a strip mall while on the Cape.
Something surprising: There were great coastal and culinary references around the establishment.
Reservation needed? Yes, around peak meal times.
Overall . Overall, the experience here was great: friendly and fast service, well-prepared and delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu prices were a little high, but this is definitely a great choice if you are in town for the weekend.

I tried to get a seat at the bar tonight but it seems that, if you’re alone, they won’t give you a seat until a party of one or a party of three leaves the bar. Every couple who arrived after me got a seat at the bar, literally passing in front of me. So I decided to leave the restaurant after 30 minutes of wait. Maybe one day I’ll be able to try this restaurant that has so many great reviews…

This place was amazing! We lucked out when we googled nearby restaurants. We have been traveling for 2 weeks from Acadia ME to Provincetown MA, and this was by far the best meal we had. The Halibut and Lobster Ravioli were phenomenal! The clam chowder was the best I’ve ever had! Crème Brûlée was the scrumptious! We lived the vibe of the restaurant and our server was so sweet! If we lived nearby we would quickly become regulars!

Great addition for Orleans. Fun food and cocktail menus. Nice people work here. Large bar that we needed in the area. Kind of hidden but in a plaza you drive by every day! Will be back to try it all!
Parking: Massive lot- no need to worry
