“We showed up with half a soccer team & parents and were treated amazing. The staff was great to the kids and so helpful. We were a large party, but they never seemed overwhelmed, and were constantly friendly with us. Food came out fast and was delicious. I highly recommend the steak tip sub and French onion soup. Beers were ice cold and the atmosphere was a Great Fun local vibe. I can’t say enough good things about the staff!! We would definitely come back here.!!“

“The “Sand Dollar” is a local joint that moved to this location a few years ago from about a mile away. It is a typical bar/pub with a bar, lots of tv’s, a dining side, music and karaoke at times. We came in mid afternoon on a quiet Sunday. Place was pretty empty. One couple at a high top on the dining side. Two different couples at either end of the bar and 4 others at a high top on the bar side. Pleasant country music was coming through the speakers all though a bit too loud for so few patrons. Except for the one guy at the bar high top who was loud and couldn’t put together one sentence without an”F” bomb in it, things were quiet. There are numerous large and small screen tvs that had football games on but the sound was off. Thankfully Mr. “F” bomb left shortly after we arrived. It took a few minutes to be seated as the hostess/waitress was in the back part of the restaurant prepping. We were told by our pleasant server to sit anywhere. Wechoose to sit at a high top on the dining side. We were promptly given menus and had our drink order taken. After a few timely minutes we placed our order. We started with naked chicken wings and the Mrs. ordered a burger with cheese and bacon with a side of broccoli. I ordered the Western grilled chicken sandwich with bacon, bbq sauce & onion strings with a side of fries well done. Considering the place was almost empty it took a long time for our food to come out. Probably 20 minutes. When it did finally came out the chicken wings came out with our meals. Appetizers of course shouldn’t be served with your meal. The wings were good but too late. Both of the rolls for our meals were not toasted which is not how most burgers and grilled chicken sandwiches are served. As a result the rolls were a pretty tasteless brioche bun. My grilled chicken was good with lots of bacon and bbq sauce. Unfortunately my onion strings were not there as advertised. But don’t fret, we quickly found them on my wife’s cheeseburger. ? The switch was made and they were back where they belonged. Despite the missing strings and the taste less roll, everything else was very tasty and prepared well. The fries were very good and cooked as requested. They were somewhere between regular fries in size and steak fries. I’m not a fan of regular steak fries( too much more potato than fry) but because these were like a steak fry on a diet they were just the right blend of both for an excellent french fry. The Mrs. said her burger was very good also despite the blah roll, but her broccoli was room temperature at best and should have been warmer. Overall for our first try things were good not perfect. My 4 star service is a reflection of the service from the kitchen not our waitress. She did a fine job and none of my complaints are directed at her. As this was our first trip to the Sand Dollar and more things were good than bad we will be coming again some time to try something else on their pretty good sized menu.sit anywhereDietary restrictions: Didn’t see any GF options on the menu, which is a concern if we were to bring our grandson. Some things are inherently GF but would have to inquire about cross contamination first before bringing him.Parking: Right in front , lots of spaces.Kid-friendliness: Kids karaoke during the summer, kids menu and an arcade type claw machine for kids.“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Ocean House ... Lobster Tagliatelle, Filet Mignon, Chilean Sea Bass and a mix of appetizers. Our meals were delicious and our server (Eva or Ava) was attentive and friendly. She did a great job. We will be back!“

“St Patrick's Day was not good being outside with good friends for over an hour and a half.Very cold and windy!!! I would have felt better if I knew reservations were taken. When I called 2 days in advance the recording stated that NO RESERVATIONS were being taken for the 16th and 17th. Ok I thought first come first serve. Got there at 12:09 after church. Waited and waited and waited cause I love this place. Only to here party of 5, party of 9, party of 4 etc etc etc etc. The recording should have said reservations for the 17th are full. So we finally get in and the corned beef was one I've never had before. not good and hardly any vegetables. servers were great! Working hard to get food to people.Really if I only knew in advance there was standing room outside only and reservations Were taken in advance I wouldn't have felt so bad. Felt like it was about making money on a holiday not about people. Guy at the door replied only doing what I was told. Really didn't care about people either. Everyone on that line was shocked to hear only reservations were getting in. THEY HEARD THE SAME RECORDING! Not nice. So hope you have a good laugh reading this.Not be back.“

“Great Cape Cod seafood restaurant with some of the best clam chowda in New England. Servers are very friendly. Has a rustic feel inside. The bar area has a ton of fire uniform patches from all over the world!!! The main dining area has lots of windows and is very well lit. On my last visit my youngest and I each had chowda, she had the lobster macaroni and cheese and I had the baked Cod. Everything was delicious! I have had their fried seafood in the past, always cooked perfectly!“

“This is our third visit to this Hyannis restaurant and this was probably the best. This place is really unique and the food they serve reminds me of my native SouthWest France for its quality, savor and presentation. The waiter was very attentional to details and did a great job explaining what each meal included. We followed his recommendations for the night special and the scallops and haddock were spectacular. We also managed to also meet the owner, Florence, who is from a small town next to mine in France and she was very charming. We had a wonderful dinner in a very nice restaurant and we will be back very soon.“

“Gerardi’s was on our list for over 2 years and finally made it, and it was worth the wait! Would 100% go back, and only a handful of Mid Cape restaurants are in that category for us.Highlights of our early dinner:- Our server, Dominic was friendly, quick and accommodating. We went with our menu choices, didn’t ask for any recommendations and he didn’t try upselling any specials or desserts once, which was much appreciated.- Crab cakes were generous in size and unique in flavor and design with the crispy potatoes and sauce on bottom.- Our 3&4 yo kids loved the meatballs and they’re picky so that’s an award itself.- Chicken picatta was super rich while also very light with the crispy risotto on the side.- Short rib pappardelle was rich with unique flavors (never had anything similar to it).The place got super busy by the time we left but service kept up with the crowd, we didn’t experience less quality or longer wait times.Should’ve taken some food pictures but we were starving. ?Dining with young children might get challenging as the restaurant has two single stall bathrooms. We didn’t have to wait once (lucky us), but I see how that could be frustrating with toddlers needing to wait for potentially minutes to use the restroom.“

“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“

“I was there with my MA family for Easter dinner and we were all very satisfied with the atmosphere, service and food!Three of the adults ordered off of the Easter menu, one from the Tavern menu and the 3 kids got the chicken fingers and fries. I was the only one needing a to go container for the rest of my risotto, and that was after the other 3 adults tried it! There was a lot of risotto and I was happy to take it home for later!Vegetarian options: I opted for the vegetarian risottoKid-friendliness: 3 boys under 12 and they had a great time with crayons and their yummy food!“

“Wicked good time on vaca with out of town family! Great atmosphere, everyone was very friendly. I met Santa and Ricky Bobby (if your not first you’re last ?️) sang karaoke ? and good cheap drinks. ? We will definitely be back to this local baaaaaah.“

“We like to visit the Black Cat.We opened the season with an early lunch. Fabulous fresh food and wonderful bar serviceIn the summer they have a lively outdoor scene. On a stormy night in the winter the inside bar is our refuge of choice. The food is very well prepared. We had some excellent Barnstable oysters today. The lobster bisque is divine. The seafood is very fresh.Stopped by for a late season early dinner and martini. Friendly crowd . Great service.“

“The stuffed clams were awesome. Lots of clams! While the burger was delicious it took a couple of tries to get it cooked right. Lindsay was a great bartender even though we had to wait for over 5 minutes before she came to the bar. Maybe having a meeting in back? They did just open.Dietary restrictions: They have a few GF itemsKid-friendliness: Kid menu. Family friendly.“

“I had the pleasure recently eating at this restaurant. The unique atmosphere added to the excellent service and delicious food. The staff friendliness and attention to detail made the entire experience top notch. Highly recommend a visit for dinner or a drink in the bar ! A return visit is definitely on the agenda next time I am in the area .“

“Stopped in for an early dinner and a drink. Jasmine the bartender was so attentive and sweet! Had the Retro Rangoons which were to die for. Served with a spicy sweet chili sauce. The Nashville sliders were absolutely amazing aswell. 100 percent recommend this to anyone in the Hyannis area!“

“Service was excellent, from the host to the server, quick, attentive, and interactive. We had the bang bang shrimp (outstanding flavor and spice), and the crab cakes (very good with awesome sauce and not too much breadcrumbs). I split a pizza with my brother (pepperoni, spicy sausage, mushrooms, and jalapeños with some anchovies on the side), it was spectacular and full of flavor, with a perfect thin,crispy crust. Highly recommend, and the spicy blood orange Margaritas are very tasty too! Thank you Tap city, we will be back!“

“Everybody seemed very friendly as soon as we walked in. I ordered one meal but got something else. The waiter was more than happy to exchange it, but I decided to keep it because it smelt really good. Happy I did because it taste really good can’t wait to go back. Thank you.“

“This is a terrific local pub with a surprisingly diverse menu. The food is well-prepared, of high quality, and often delicious. The staff is welcoming, friendly and attentive. It is no surprise that it attracts a large group of regulars who enjoy being there and typically enhance the experience. I've returned many times and I'm never disappointed“

“My first time here, phenomenal food and even better service. Paul was our server and I have to say I've never had a better waiter. He was extremely attentive and friendly. Our food came out perfectly cooked and in quick time. I will definitely be coming back!“
