    Oysters, clams and bevs
    Jody W.

    Great location in the heart of Provincetown. Grab drinks at the bar and pick your seat on the deck overlooking the water. Order oysters and clams from the storefront to the right - before you go to the shucking station. Not the friendliest bartenders and the young man shucking the oysters was quite angry about something. Nice people took my order for the seafood, though. Location, location, location.

    2 Cape Codders in plastic cups.

    The outdoor seating is lovely. Our Cape Codder cocktails tasted strange. Like a bitter or artificial taste. I would not order cocktails here again. You order drinks at the bar. There doesn't appear to be table service. No food is served but you can bring in from nearby stands.

    Cosmo and Wanda drinks!

    Delicious, STRONGGGG drinks here! I definitely am not a light weight and the Margarita had me feeling great all night.. my boyfriend has the special drink of the night which had some watermelon and vodka in it, but it was a little sweet and not as strong as mine. The seats we had had a great view of the ocean and sunset, and our waiter was great. Definitely would come back for more drinks!!

    So if you think of sipping drinks while looking at the ocean this is your place. Fun drinks outside deck - and a very large one - all perfect to the start of an evening out. I enjoyed a fun frothy beverage watching the boat thinking how pleasant it is here

    Gorgeous harbor views

    We stopped for drinks here before exploring the rest of town. This is a primo location, and a popular place. The views are great. Lots of seating was available.

    Drinks with a VIEW!

    Oh - THIS place is a gem - right on the water and a beautiful place to have cocktails. So that's what we did. The staff was friendly and fun! The seats are first come first served and you order your drinks first and then get seats - so be prepared when it's nicer weather. We will definitely come back!

    Cool spot to sit by the water with drinks. Was not expecting a mojito and beer to end up being $30.

    I really enjoy this bar. Scott was the bartender and he was great. The only negative comment I have is the music was quite depressing. Speed it up. That music made me sleepy. Lol

    Aqua Bar is the literal best. There's a half dozen food stalls here to choose from, so whoever you're with can get anything they're in the mood for. After you order, walk towards the back and you'll come out to where the seating area is and you can snag a drink from the bar there if you'd like. This spot is 10/10 with beautiful views of the bay. It's great to come here either by yourself or with a group--sit looking out at the water, or, there's 4-tops in front of the bar, and picnic tables on the other side.

    Bloody Mary and some welfleet oysters

    This was my fiancé and I's first time at Aqua bar with definitely no expectations. The Bloody Mary's are STRONG and the Wellfleet oysters are so fresh. Bartenders were very nice and fast considering lots of people were ordering. The views of the ocean and the vibes of Provincetown are perfect.

    A little bit to eat before going whale watching!! Found this awesome place!! Great view of the bay while enjoying some margaritas and beer!! Great service and attentive waitstaff!!

    Side deck seating.

    Best deck for a drink and view in town if the weather is nice. Visit here all the time.Great music! Especially today with some good old 70/80's rock! Plus you can bring food in from one of the various eateries in the wharf.

    BEST MOJITO!

    If you don't want awesome, expansive views of the bay, a diverse, friendly crowd, and cool breezes (ok, not every day), don't go!

    Excellent prices for beers. Bartenders were super nice. Beautiful views. My piña colada didn't have much flavor sadly.

    These piña coladas are amazing. Ask for one and you'll be smashed in no time. Be warned! The bathroom line gets long.

A special thank you to Elia, who helped us with our reservation, accommodated a change, and even helped with a gift card. That kind of attention and care set the tone before we even arrived. It made a real difference. The hostess at the front desk was also incredibly kind and helpful, and we appreciated that right away. We were seated upstairs in a beautiful room that felt intimate and special, perfect for celebrating the holiday. The food exceeded our expectations. We started with the crab cakes and watermelon salad, both excellent. I had the chicken, Scott had the lobster, and both were outstanding. What made the night memorable wasn't just the food, though -- it was the hospitality. You can tell when a restaurant has people who genuinely care about the guest experience, and Helltown delivered that in every way. We'll absolutely be back.

The menu listed "MP" (market price\), so we didn't know the exact cost and were surprised it was $58 each, especially since the online price we had seen was around $40 The portion was also underwhelming Each plate only had 3 shrimp, and the fries and salad were very small--honestly not much at all--so it didn't feel like good value for the price For our family of four, the total bill was about $315. We get that prices can change, but for something that expensive, it really should be made clear before ordering\.

The crab cakes(and sauce) and grilled chicken breast were beyond tasty! I tasted my partners steak fries and wanted more! LOL We both agreed we don't think we've ever had better coleslaw! It was so summery and fresh in presentation and aromas and most of all, flavors! When we head back to P-town next summer - hope you will try it too! We will definitely be back to Pepe's!

Unfortunately, the exterior of the building is easy to miss, with all of the curtains closed, making it blend into its surroundings unless you're specifically looking for it. We were greeted promptly upon arrival and appreciated the thoughtful nods to the original location, with several familiar items on display. It was a nice touch that added some character and nostalgia. We chose to sit at the bar, which is quite large. The bartender was responsible for approximately 20 bar guests while also handling drink service for the restaurant. Despite being spread very thin, she was friendly, attentive, and made excellent martinis. She truly did the best she could under the circumstances. We ordered an appetizer, which took a long time to arrive. When our entrées were served, both the pasta and chicken dishes were only lukewarm. The sauces were extremely thin--more like soup than a pasta sauce. To add to the disappointment, there was no bread service because the restaurant had run out of bread. Overall, the meals were fair but fell well short of our expectations. As we were leaving, we tried to speak with the hostess about the new location and the restaurant's plans for the future. Unfortunately, she seemed dismissive and showed little interest in having a conversation with us. We genuinely wanted Front Street's new chapter to be a success and were hoping for a much better experience, especially after spending nearly $200. There is certainly potential here--the location is beautiful, and some members of the staff are clearly working hard--but the overall dining experience simply did not match the price point. We hope the restaurant is able to address these issues as it settles into its new home for the rest of this season.
