“Went to Moonfish last week for the first time with a group of friends. Beautiful decor, nice vibe. We all LOVED our meals! Rhonda, our server, was so great. Efficient, personable and fun!!! Great menu; this place has something for everyone! Prices are reasonable; generous portions. Our only negative was the loud music (not live) coming from the bar. We were in an adjacent dining room and the volume was too much!! Can't imagine sitting in the bar area and trying to have a conversation with someone. I will definitely be back to Moonfish. Wonderful addition to the area!!“

“We had clam chowder, a fish sandwich and an oyster roll. The food was just delicious! The chow-da was so good we got a large one to go for tomorrow. Great food!“

“Not 5 stars because we were celebrating my sister’s birthday and the restaurant made zero acknowledgment of it—no candle, no small dessert, no “happy birthday” written on a plate, nothing. For a high-end tasting menu ($145+), that level of hospitality is disappointing and makes it feel impersonal for a special occasion.

That said, the food itself was excellent and easily five-star quality—beautifully executed, creative, and memorable. I would recommend it for the food alone, but not for birthdays or any celebration where you expect even a small gesture.“

“Excellent harbor side spot. Casual and cool. Great tuna. Our waitress Janee was terrific. Very enjoyable.“

“Visited for the first time this past week. We were 8 adults and 3 children. Food was amazing, large portions, served quickly. Counter and server staff were very friendly… handicap accessible as well. We will definitely be back next year. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“For an unparalleled dining experience on Cape Cod, look no further than this distinguished restaurant, where the elegant dining room overlooks Nantucket Sound, creating a sensation akin to dining on a luxury cruise ship amidst the majestic ocean swells of Dennis. The exceptional cuisine is further enhanced by the Omakase, a carefully selected array of five seasonal small plates prepared by the chef, utilizing only the freshest, locally sourced, and organic ingredients. #summah2024 #oceanhouseresturant #omakase see photo captions for cuisine details.“

“Friendly staff, great service, good food and nice atmosphere.“

“Went to the Dolphin Restaurant on 02/12/22. Had 6:30 reservations and was told they still haven't seated all of the 6:00 reservetions yet. The place was packed, you could hardly move. The wait staff that wasn't wearing masks,were having a hard time getting to the tables to serve. Good thing the fire dept. didn't come in, as I am sure they were way over capacity. So we waited close to an hour and were asked if we would consider sitting at a high top, we agreed. So after waiting another 15 -20 minutes for the bartender to take our order. He brought our drinks, I said "we are ready to order" The bartender said I'll be right back. He proceeded to go help bring in the equipment for the band who were setting up 8 - 10 feet accross from our table. At this point I flaged him down asked him how much for the drinks and left. I have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, Valentines Day at the Dolphin for years. I will never return! They pissed a lot of people off for their way over booking. We just weren't smart enough to leave at the begining like a lot of people did. I have never seen a business with so little reguard for their customers.“

“Delicious food and pleasant ambiance for our dining experience. Varied menu and drink selection. Wait staff was attentive. They were accommodating to our larger party on short notice during a busy evening.“

“It is out go to place when friends and family are in town because there is something for everyone and the food is consistently delicious. Our waitress this last visit was new to serving and she was really nice. Thank you for serving us Silviane.“

“This place is hands down the absolute best!! The clam chowder was incredible and Matt, the bartender was funny, attentive and helpful! We are out of towners from Texas and huge foodies. It was all good!! We will absolutely be back. ❤️“

“Just left Scargo We’ve been patrons of your restaurant for many years, often at the bar. Food is always consistent and delicious. Tonight was good news and bad news. On the bad news, Debbie at bar was abrupt, not friendly and a disappointment from what we are use to. On the very good news, CJ was fantastic. Personable, quick, friendly and knows how to interact with customers. We hope it’s all good news next time.“

“it was our first time eating here. place was busy. we had a party of 5. we were told a 45 min wait and it was only about 15 min. Food was excellent. Great portions, tasted wonderful! Next time we are on the Cape we will be back!“

“Delicious food and drinks. Dining while watching the boats in the harbor. Great service from the first interaction at the host stand. 10/10 !“

“Kevin Petersen's ability to analyze and predict market trends sets him apart as a successful stock trader.“

“We had dinner at The Pheasant, the service was warm and professional, the surroundings were intriguing and welcoming and the food….. the food was thoughtful, creative, and downright delicious. It’s the kind of meal where you talk about the taste, keep sharing bites and keep eating long past when you are satiated because it just tastes and feels so good. So many places fall down on the wine list and pairing knowledge, this is not the case at The Pheasant. Texture, taste, ingredients, presentation, wine pairings, all were spot on! Can’t wait to dine there again. Just do yourself a favor and dine there as well!“

“We love Red River Barbecue. Their food is delicious. We’ve tried their wings, brisket, smoked prime rib, ribs, and the crème brûlée … it’s all been amazing. Their specials are also great. And they have a really nice staff. M“

“Excellent food, excellent customer service. staff was great ....great menu selection!“

“It’s interior is a classic restaurant on the Cape .“

“We've been coming here for years. Something happened recently, perhaps ownership/management changed. Still good food at a fairer than expected price. Decor is a little dated. But we witnessed the manager on a visit recently acting crazy. Yelling (in her face) at hostess, then he's in the face of the bartender yelling at him. Then he slams his fist on post of booth we were sitting in. Definitely a man child with anger issues. Food is still good and price is fair, but the manager could ruin this long establishment with his childlike temper. This man's rage had the poor waitstaff running. Not kidding. They were running. A little off putting.“

“Best restaurant on Cape Cod.“

“If you're looking for seafood, don't skip this cafe! A bit on the pricey side, but well worth it. Watch out for the seagulls, they are bold and will grab your dinner if you're not paying attention!“

“The wife and I chose this spot for an anniversary dinner - and we were NOT disappointed. The food was amazing across the board... the service was charming (thank you, Duet!) and the desserts were awesome too. (Try the Sandbar - a concoction of Graham cracker, chocolate, Reese's and vanilla ice cream that is just out of this world. Two giant thumbs-up - we'll definitely be back!“

“The Portside Tavern restaurant has excellent service and food quality. The app (Charcuterie Board) and both entrees (Braised Short Rib and Cod) were over the top quality and cooked to perfection. What was nice is each entry offered a wine pairing suggestion which made the wine decision easy! The charcuterie board was fresh and had such a nice variety of meats, cheeses, olives, fig, dill pickles, apple, crackers, nuts and dried mango. We will definitely return again.“

“Food was awesome, staff were amazing. and the view was beautiful.“

“Food was excellent, large portions for sides.
Easy to order by phone; despite showing up early, food was ready when we arrived.
Upon returning to our rental, we found that the expediter missed two orders of cole slaw. On phone, manager promised to take care of it. I was expecting a small credit; it appears he credited one of our three meals, much more than the value of the two sides of cole slaw.“

“We had the twin lobster dinner and it was awesome. Our waiter was excellent and the price was very reasonable. I would recommend this restaurant.“

“It is our favorite go to restaurant. The food is always prepared to perfection and the staff is outstanding ❤️“

“From the time we were greeted to the end of leaving and saying goodbye, it was an absolute memorable experience. Mario and the chef were some of the most kind happy warm hearted people I have ever met. The food portions were generous and quality was absolutely amazing. The oysters came right off the shell, the lobster roll were thick, chunky and super crunchy. Filled with flavor, we had to try the blueberry coconut bread pudding that was Mario’s personal recipe. The flavor combo complimented each other smoothly. The outer part of the bread was crispy and crunchy with the inside being a fluffy soft delicious pillow. Added with vanilla ice cream for a cherry on top. I’m looking forward to going back for round 2!!!“

“This place is amazing! Emmalee was our server and she was super attentive and her service was spot on. Everything we ordered was unbelievably flavorful and the seafood bisque was PACKED with pieces of seafood, including a full lobster claw. The blackened swordfish was perfectly cooked too. Will definitely be coming back!!“

“Awesome food, atmosphere, and fabulous service!!!!“

“some negative comments were true under the old ownership. We went weekend of 6/18/22. New owners, very good food, nice service and great views. Will be going back soon.“

“We have been coming to Cape Cod every year since 2017 and staying at our timeshare at The Cove, and I cannot express how happy we are to have The Sunset Restaurant right across the street!

Over the years, this has become one of those places we truly look forward to visiting every time we come back. The staff is always incredibly friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home. The food is consistently delicious, with great portions and that wonderful homemade feel. My wife especially loves the home fries! 😋

This year, I also want to give a special thank you to Kay. We wish you nothing but the very best on your journey ahead, and we sincerely hope to see you again when we return next year.

Thank you to everyone at The Sunset Restaurant for always being part of our Cape Cod vacation memories. After coming here year after year since 2017, it truly feels like one of our traditions. Highly recommended! ❤️☀️🍳“
