Waterfront Restaurant

First, do not go there for dinner if there is a wedding going on. They will seat you in the basement with virtually no view of the water, which is a big reason for going there. Also the food was awful. We both had the lobster roll. The presentation was poor and the small amount of lobster was dripping with mayonnaise. Not appetizing looking and it was tasteless. No excuse for what they charge. $120 thrown away. Ruined the night. Maybe they could only focus on the wedding but if that's the case, then close the restaurant when there is a wedding.

So I have to preface this by saying that we did not know that there would be a wedding there the night we made our reservation so this review is only based on what we found when we arrived. First, DO NOT GO IF THERE IS A WEDDING!!!! And no you didn't text us to let us know there was a wedding so that is BS. The water front is likely a really nice place to have dinner but because there was a wedding we were sent to the basement which IS NOT anything like the upstairs. This is on their website “Dinner will be served in the Oceanview Lounge Lower Deck. Private events will be upstairs”. The lower deck is the basement and is not worth going to so make sure if you're making a reservation you find out if there is a wedding because THEY get the upstairs and all of the views, the deck seating etc etc. There was a group that walked in after us who had driven an hour to come to the waterfront and the look on their faces was heartbreaking. They were not prepared for the basement. So sad. We stayed for a drink, left, and then went down the road to another place which had a fantastic view of the sunset so in the end it turned out just fine.

Do not be fooled by the location—it’s the only thing this place has going for it.

Service? Zero. Food? Tasteless. Prices? Absolutely not worth it. We lasted 42 minutes before escaping and had to go elsewhere just to keep my birthday from being completely ruined.

They moved my Friday 6:30 pm reservation “downstairs” because of a wedding upstairs. What they don’t tell you is that “downstairs” looks like an abandoned employee lounge: musty, outdated, and mismatched tables and chairs, some set, some not. Honestly, they’d be better off refusing reservations altogether than trying to pass this room off as a dining space.

The hostess couldn’t be bothered—told us to “sit anywhere” from across the room and acted annoyed every time we asked for anything.

The food was an even bigger disaster. My stuffed haddock with risotto had zero flavor. My husband’s osso bucco was equally bland. I actually had to add salt just to eat it—something I never do at restaurants. Drinks? Undrinkable.

$150 for the worst dinner we’ve ever had on Cape Cod. This place is rundown, mismanaged, and staffed by people who clearly don’t care. Prime location wasted. Avoid at all costs.

The view was the only thing this restaurant had going for it- beautiful sunset-on the beach-very few customers and still below average service and food -Cesar salad was average - slaw had no taste - cod was hot temp but nothing special- rolls cold - coffee was horrible -will not be back - interior run down - sad it could be awesome place

We sat outside on the deck with the ocean view. Very nice! Service was very attentive. The food was okay.... Clam chowder tasty but could have used more clams. The wedge salad was good, the lobster add-on wasn't as fresh as expected, unsure if it was previously frozen.

Due to a wedding reception, dining was moved downstairs which did not have much ambiance. View of Ocean was non existent. Service was slow because there was only one server. Unfortunately, we won't be going back.

we booked a dining reservation for this restaurant for Saturday 9/13/2025. When we arrived we noticed a wedding was taken place so rather then the restaurant we were seated in what was called the lounge. It was dark, smelled of mold and damp, there was no view of the ocean the only view was a view of under the porch. I ordered the burger and fries the burger was the consistency of a hockey puck and had grizzle in it i took one bite and was done. My sister ordered the fish and chips and after two bites she was done it was soggy. The cost for this horrific meal was around 100 dollars before the tip. I think it should have been stated that a wedding was taken place and you would be seated in a smelly clearly water damage basement. Not a lounge of any means. I will say that it was worse then a VFW, and Elks club or The Legion

Came in on Saturday night to the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. After being sat 20 min after our reservation our server Hannah was obvious and completely ignored our table while we waited almost an hour for our food we only saw her once because my husband had to wave her down for a refill food was brought out by someone else and we again didn’t not see our server until we were almost finished eating she dropped off the bill without us asking talked about how hard it is to be a student while balancing work clearly trying to get a better tip. The food was fine and we would have returned if it wasn’t for the service we received

The Inn and restaurant were nostalgic, staff was welcoming and efficient, view was spectacular - especially the sunset! Food was very good, but menu seemed a bit limited. Manager stopped by and as a result of some new fall menu items he mentioned we will return for a birthday in October! Over all a "do-again" experience!

We ordered prime rib with mashed potatoes and vegetables zucchini mix. All cooked to perfection! Great atmosphere and service. Was seated on time for our reservation at 7 pm. No wait even though the place has many other guests at dinner. Fireworks on the beach that were right above us. Best display I have seen and the outdoor patio where we were seated also had musical accompaniment that was great! Best Labor Day celebration ever. Can't wait to go back for another meal. Beautiful ambience and seaside dining.

We ordered steak and lobster, but the experience was disappointing. My steak was undercooked, and when I sent it back it was just reheated instead of freshly prepared. The lobster was served with roe that had not been cooked through, leaving it black rather than the bright red color it should have. While I know roe can be a normal part of lobster, the way it was presented made it unappetizing. The manager did step in and comp the steak meals, which I appreciated, but overall the food quality missed the mark.

Unfortunately this place can only survive on its location which was absolutely gorgeous ocean views and beautiful sunset. Our waitstaff were excellent too. The food was so horrendous. I feel bad saying that but my goodness how do you ruin a boiled lobster. The tail was almost shredded when it came out of the shell. Not succulent like must lobsters. The claws had very little meat in them. There was some sort of black substance in the tail of my friends lobster. Not green but black. I did not complain to to waitstaff as they cats not cooking the food. They were excellent. There was piano player on the inside that was quite annoying. Picture the Shining and you may get an idea of the ambiance.

I had the haddock dish. My food was good, just warm not hot. Nothing special and very expensive at $42.

Though overcast and a bit windy we had a lovely time on porch Ahmed our waiter was very accommodating. Food for most part was good. We had to send back 7ndercooked crab cakes...on other end Lobster exceptional
