The Mews Restaurant & Cafe

When I booked the table at the last minute, I was only able to reserve a high table in the upstairs bar area. But we showed up half an hour early, and the host was able to seat us at a regular table in the bar area - quite comfortable. I’m not sure but the bar area may serve a subset of the full menu. Ask when you reserve if this is important to you.

We started with a cocktail: Black Manhattan and Paper Plane. Both were excellent and well prepared.

My husband had the special: Halibut over Housemade Grits. He loved this dish and said that the fish was perfectly cooked. I had the Lobster Vindaloo. Based on the reviews, many people are crazy about this dish but I am not one of them. It was okay but not the way I want to eat lobster.

We had good service. Street parking, if you can find it, is covered via the Passport Parking app. If you’ve used it before, you’ll need your PIN.

We rediscovered The Mews when they had the pop-up at The Waterford, and now it is one of our favorite restaurants in Ptown. We have eaten in the newly renovated building a few times already since it opened. The food has been delicious and the service, flawless. The host and servers are all friendly and welcoming, and my wife and I love the atmosphere. The tofu vindaloo is an-time favorite of mine, and recently, there was a fried cauliflower appetizer that was out of this world. The wine list is excellent, too. I love that they have a Vernaccia from San Gimignano, which is not easy to find. The all-around dining experience is wonderful.

Our appetizers and drinks were amazing until we had our dinners and they were a bit overcooked but they comped us and offered drinks. Would have given a 4 star but their willingness to accommodate made up for the overcooking and everything else was stellar.

Highly recommend. Food was fantastic - service was great. The dishes were coursed wonderfully.

I really wanted to like this place because of the nice views, but it just didn't work out for me. The service was quite slow, and I felt like I was being ignored for most of the night. When the food finally arrived, it was lukewarm at best and honestly pretty underwhelming for the price. I've had much better experiences elsewhere and probably won't be giving it another chance.

Terrible experience at Mews. I was seated at the upstairs bar where there were only 9 total guests, with both a male and female employee managing service, so it was not particularly busy.

It took 20 minutes before anyone even acknowledged me or asked if I wanted a drink. After finally receiving my drink, I then sat another 30 minutes without anyone asking if I was ready to order. During that time, a couple sat to my right and were immediately greeted, told the specials, asked for drinks, and then asked if they were ready to order. I was never told the specials and had still not been asked for my order.

After the couple ordered, I finally had to ask the male employee if I could order food. He simply said yes and took my order — again without mentioning any specials.

To make matters worse, after another 15-minute wait, both my oysters appetizer and hamburger entrée arrived at the exact same time. I told the food runner to take the burger back, and while he apologized and returned later with it, the entire dining experience felt completely disorganized and inattentive.

Throughout the entire meal, I was asked only once if I needed anything else. No one checked on me, asked how the food was, or whether everything was satisfactory.

For a restaurant that is supposedly one of the highest rated in Provincetown, the service was shockingly poor. Spending $75 on oysters, a hamburger, and one drink should come with attentive, professional service. It absolutely did not.

I’ll go elsewhere next time, and I’d recommend others do the same.

It’s the type of place where you want to spend your time. The bar servers are welcoming and fun, making it a warm environment when you’re just popping in for a quality meal by yourself. They were the best part of my time at The Mews. The vibe is, “you’ve worked hard, enjoy yourself now.” My Thai Martini was yummy and the cauliflower steak was beautifully presented. I would enjoy more romesco. Someday I’ll save room just for dessert :)It’s the type of place where you want to spend your time.

First visit and great food and service. Windows seats face the waterfront. I only tried mushroom ravioli as i an a prefer vegan (sometimes vegitarian if eatingout). It was good. I visited May 5th, so didn't not need reservations but ask during the season as they may get busy.

We went here to celebrate my boyfriends birthday. The view is lovely, the service was great, and the overall vibe felt fancy but low key. The menu is interesting and the food was good.

Sorry to say I miss the old Mews … felt like a chain restaurant except the server was wonderful as was the view. Don’t come for the ambiance or the food. Skip it … or stop by for a drink at the not your average bar if you must . ….

Doesn’t matter if you have a vegan or vegetarian option, if you are still serving veal. 😢
