Our server was pleasant enough and the small restaurant was cute. Bar, hightop, booth and table seating are available. I ordered the fish and chips while my wife ordered the fish tacos with sweet potato fries. The fish tacos were very good but had too much cilantro but the taste was very fresh. My fish and chips was excellent. The fish was cooked perfectly, flaky and still glistening. The batter was crispy and was thicker than tempura but thinner than beer batter. The only issue was a fairly small portion size. My wife had the same amount of fish on her tacos. We did have dessert, which was unusual for us. My pecan pie was extremely well done and had a wonderful flavor. Only way to make it better would be to serve it cold, not room temperature...but that's just personal preference. My wife got the tapioca pudding, which was a little less successfully prepared. The texture wasn't bad, it was served cold but had to option to be heated and the serving size was good. It just didn'tdidnt have much flavor...tasted more like a custard, but it was even bland for that. Over all? Very positive experience and we will be back

The home made chicken broth as a base to the linguica, bean, and kale totally makes it. We split a Rueben and it was one of the best in our long lives. Bread was toasted and the interior was broiled. Yes, I know some grill it, but it was nice not to have to have the exterior too oily. Like the soup, the balance between the ingredients were really considerate and perfect. The sauerkraut was fresh and crunchy. When we ate the pickle, we looked at each other because it was so fresh tasting, not overly vinegary or salty, a really pleasant cucumber experience. We took home a creamy lemon cheesecake type square, and again, balanced is the word. Not cloyingly sweet, but light and such a pleasure to eat. This really was a find off the beaten path. If for not staying at the Autocamp down the road, I would have never discovered it, even with the Diners, Drive-ins and Dives connection.

Rare 5 Star Review: Phenomenal products and pleasant staff…read more Stepping into Maison Villatte in Falmouth is like being instantly transported to the heart of Paris. The aroma of freshly baked dough and caramelized sugar fills the air, drawing you toward immaculate display cases filled with a stunning variety of treats. Every single item is a testament to authentic French baking technique, featuring perfectly laminated, buttery croissants that shatter with crispness, vibrant fruit tarts with flawlessly structured crusts, and dense, velvety eclairs. Whether you are grabbing a crusty, artisanal baguette or indulging in a luxurious mille-feuille, the exceptional quality of the imported ingredients and the meticulous craftsmanship shine through in every single bite. Beyond the extraordinary pastries and savory savories, the atmosphere makes this boulangerie an absolute destination. Even when the lines stretch long on busy summer weekends, the energetic, smartly aproned staff handle the rush with incredible warmth and effortless professionalism. The rustic, charming interior combined with the view of bakers working hard at the ovens in the back adds a comforting, lively energy to the entire experience. It is easily the finest bakery on Cape Cod, and an absolute must-visit neighborhood treasure that will leave you eager to return the very next morning. What a find! Thanks

This little French bakery in Falmouth MA was new to us on our last trip a couple of years ago. I…read morehave no idea how long it has existed but certainly not back when we lived nearby. We returned this visit on a very hot day and with very busy downtown, so parking close was a must. Sadly, there was hardly any parking at all so "nearby" became only a wish. It was quite a hike to this shop. But it was worth it. We had already eaten lunch and our goal was a French pastry each for dessert and the option to sit inside in the cooled room to eat. We found 2 seats at the nearby eating counter and enjoyed the sweet snack. The line was exceptionally long so it did take a while to get our treat. You need to browse the case as you wait in line and be ready to order as you reach the front of the line, which luckily parallels the case, affording a decent view. The staff member, who has rotated back to the front of the staff line, will pull what you want from the case, bag or box it as appropriate to the pastry, run it to the cashier and then return back into the staff line. When you see the staff member do that, turn yourself around and head to the cashier line and pay. Then find a place to eat. If it is completely full inside, there are benches outside, across the street on the library lawn. We have done that in the past. Be sure you get your drinks from the cashier because getting back in line to order them later is counterproductive to having a nice time. This time I ordered a berry custard tart and my husband ordered the pear caramel custard tart. The crust was beautifully made, as always, all classic French flavors filling them. There are breads and pastries of all kinds from croissants to eclairs. Most people order a lot and take out in a box for entertaining or a group waiting for them somewhere else. Honestly, when it's this good and this beautiful, and this crowded, I never even looked at the prices. It was worth whatever it was.

My drink was a dirty martini & it was a heavy pour & a decent drink. Again, not the best but very good. For the entree I wanted to order the sushi pizza.. yea you heard it right, I wouldn't have even considered it but by neighboring table got it & it looked FANTASTIC. However, I was away from home & did not want leftovers so I ordered the special sushi roll Crimson Tide & added Jalapeños. The Jalapeños were fresh & crispy, but did not lend any additional heat. I am a sushi snob, so it was not the best I've ever had, but it was decent. For most it would be good. The menu changes regularly, which was a little disappointing. It was different online, vs on Yelp vs in person & the prices were about $10 more than listed online, but overall, it wasn't a bad experience. I would recommend checking them out, just know it won't be cheap. I originally wanted the seared Tuna, but when I got here, it was halibut & it was $36 vs $22. I will include pics of the menu, but like I said, it's subject to change. OK, take this with a grain of salt. I would probably have made it a 4 vs 3 so I'm on the fence. Regan, my server explained that the additional $6 added to my $12 martini was not because it was a dirty martini, but because it was up vs on the rocks, so it was a bigger pour. It makes sense, but I have never seen this before.. make your own decisions.

I went to Betsy's for breakfast with the family. Food was below average, waitress was the worst in all my years of dining. Spent $60.00 dollars on breakfast and left a 20% tip on the subtotal. After cashing out waitress came back to complain and said that she did not add the 18% gratuity for a party of six but if she had it would have been more than the tip I gave her. I was puzzled since I gave her 20%. I then asked her if the 18% that was added for a party of 6 was taken off the subtotal or total after tax. She said she had to check. She returned and told me it was taken off the subtotal. So she received a 20% tip and was complaining. 1. What waitresss harrasses customers about a tip and 2. who complains about a 20% tip? She totally ruined our breakfast. Never been so offended. Felt like I was being shaken down. read more

EAT HEAVY - this greats you from the street & says it all. Kind of a gross stomach turn of a start. Cute building. Decent location. Terrible service and food. If it is going to be diner fare - greasy, heavy menu choices than it should be at least good. I found it to be flavorless. Just plain old, flavorless, greasy heavy food. Total gross out but HEY they warn you before you enter with the EAT HEAVY sign. Just take it as fair warning! I will not return and would not recommend this to anyone! read more
