    My family and I stopped at Fishermen's View for lunch during our recent visit to Cape Cod. The restaurant was crowded and had a lively atmosphere, but we were seated immediately. Our server was attentive and took our orders right away. The food arrived fairly quickly and did not disappoint. My wife ordered the broiled cod, which was buttery, flavorful, and delicious. My youngest son had the mac and cheese and thoroughly enjoyed it. My oldest son ordered the California roll and thought it was just okay, good, but a bit pricey for the portion size. I went with the lobster BLT, and it really hit the spot. Overall, the food was very good, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was energetic and welcoming. We had a great experience and would definitely come back on a future visit to Cape Cod.

    Great service! Fast seating & ordering, unfortunately the food fell flat for me. I ordered 2 sushi rolls, and for being a sushi heavy restaurant (the whole front page of their menu?), I felt like my sushi was really bland! It was good quality - soft rice, soft salmon, but I expected more. beautiful views from the seating areas!

    Crab cake sandwich
    Lindsay C.

    Phenomenal crab cake sandwich. Cooked perfectly, with a nice crunch on the outside but soft crab inside. The fries were also cooked well, crisp and not too soggy. The sauce on the crab cake sandwich was flavorful and complimented the crab cake. Others in my party had the knuckle sandwich and praised the amount of lobster, as well as the fish and chips. Everyone was satisfied with their meal and we got to sit on the back deck in the shade with a nice view of the boats going by. We did wait for well over the time they told us, but I think the wait at any restaurant during tourist season in Cape Cod would've been similar. I'd definitely return!

    Whole belly clam roll.

    Met my Brian's his wife here for dinner Great location on the water and lots of outdoor seating too. The menu is extensive and I decided that I'd get the whole belly clam roll since I can't get them in NC. The clam bellies were enormous and delicious on a toasted New England style roll. I was in heaven.

    Dirty martinis!!!

    It is worth 100 miles to come here in traffic to see Tara and have one of her hot and dirty martinis!!!!

    First time at this spot but it's going on the permanent list for sure! Inventive cocktails, a beautiful view, and such fresh eats! Excellent service and never wanted for a thing!

    We recently stopped at Fishermen's View for lunch when heading into the Cape for a weekend. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the window views are great! The bar area is first come, first served, and we ended up with a great window bar spot with views of boats coming in and out of the marina. The food was pretty good, especially the clam chowder. The fish and chips were a little too greasy for my preference, and the crab claws were a little tough, but the flavor of everything was enjoyable. Definitely worth a stop in for the views, staff, and drinks!

    Our server in the bar area upstairs was fantastic. Considering it was a pretty popular spot we didn't have too long of a wait. I will say it's quite confusing how there is some open seating but not much clarification on where that is even after asking 2 separate people. Drinks were very good and quick to come out as were our apps. Our entrees did take some time to come out however it was all tasty, we did have a steak order on our ticket and the steak itself had an abundance of fat on it but besides that it had good flavor.

    Dining with a beautiful view of the Cape Cod Canal makes this spot special from the moment you arrive. Even if you don't get a table with a view the water, the atmosphere inside by the bar is still lively and fun thanks to the live music they always seem to have going. The cocktails are some of the best we've had, especially the dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives and the espresso martini. The raw bar and sushi are standout choices, but the real star of the menu is the lobster mac and cheese which is incredibly creamy and rich with a generous amount of lobster. Between the food, drinks, music, and views, it's the kind of place that's easy to keep coming back to.

    This is a beautiful restaurant on the Cape Cod Canal. Great water views! We went in for lunch on a Monday and it was packed - about a 15-20 minute wait. The bar scene is very lively and a great place not just to get a drink but also to enjoy a meal. If you like energy... this bar has a lot of it! We could not get a seat at the bar so ended up with a table looking over the water. The dining room is very diverse- everything from families to business luncheons to retirees. It's loud ... but I love a room with a great buzz to it. We had an order of Tuna Sashimi and a Spider roll - both were sizable portions and although they were pricy - the portion size compensated for the price. For drinks we had a beautiful glass of Albariño which was a perfect accompaniment to our meal. I could have hung around and sipped that wine all day - it was a perfect expression of a beautiful Spanish white wine. It's only June so I can't imagine how busy this place gets in July and August. I would highly recommend this place for food - ambience - service and the view!!

    Baked scallops

    I think there is crack cocaine in these mashed potatoes bc omg. Also the scallops were phenomenal!

    Even on a gloomy, misty day, sitting at Fisherman's View with its many windows and well-positioned inlet vantage point made for a lunch I could've dragged out through dinner & dessert. Aw he**, I could've stayed til lunch the next day! The crab cakes were tender & flakey. And the apple & fennel salad was an ample, crispety-crunchety, flavorful accompaniment. We also couldn't resist ordering the maple butternut squash, which was downright bathing in high quality pure maple-syrup, resembling more of a dessert than a side and exquisite nonetheless. My brother, seated across from me, helped himself to the MP lobster roll... and I watched as his pupils turned into hearts with eat tender nibble. This was a lunch of epic proportions.

    The views of sitting outside.

    My family and I decided to come here, it was a bit of long wait but we read online that it was a must to try out the restaurant. There wait was over 30 mins but it went very fast. We wanted to sit inside but the reservations were all booked for the rest of the year which we thought that was pretty crazy. The food was very very good and it tasted very fresh. The prices were just right as well. I would highly recommend coming here and giving them a shot. Its definitely worth the wait.

    Great spot for a lunch appetizer with a fabulous view of the canal! This restaurant is notoriously…read morepacked during the summer (I'm talking I try and find a reservation a week before I head to the cape) and forget it if you have a group larger than 5, which I always do. However Sandie's is your patio deck bar with small eats that are just as delicious and the raw bar is not to be missed! I recommend going during the week around 1/2pm for the best chance at grabbing some good seats and while there are plenty out here, it fills up! Also have live music so check their website!

    Sandie's gives you an opportunity to sample a taste of F/V menu without going there…read more You have to go inside F/V, take the stairs up to the restaurant, cross the dining area, go out the deck door, down the stairs, cross the patio, to the other side of the patio. I know many just hang out here on the deck overlooking the harbor, below F/V. Sometimes the waitlist is just too long. *Note that they do accept F/V gift cards here also. So you're looking at about 8 picnic tables with umbrellas pushed together. A small walk up shack mixing drinks, and cooking food. The menu is in chalk, and changing daily. Most items are on the snack size. Then again, 2-3 Blackened salmon tacos, or F/V beef sliders is enough to fill the belly. Now you're fed, enjoying a cool libation, and some live guitar music with a scenic view. The prices are good. The service at the shack is good. The drinks are good. The food is great. Everything is pay at the shack or run a tab. Many never even went back to their F/V reservation. I wish there was more attention to silverware and napkins. I know it's hard to keep tables clean when a butt sits down as soon as one gets up. You basically bus the garbage of the previous tenant. They highly discourage entry and exit through the sidewalk gate. The exception was made for a handicapped person in our party. *Note that we did encounter some biting, flying insects on first week of July. Lot's of bug bites the next day.

    We made pit stop at Tree House brewing as we entered Cape Cod on a rainy dreary day…read more Location right on Town Neck beach and Scusset harbor. Parking is very tricky with about ten spots in front of brewery. Also town beach paid parking right next door. The place was bustling on both floors. The main floor set up for order pickups and merchandise. There was a small pizza place as well The tasting room is on the second floor with nice view of the beach and harbor. The brewery provides indoor & outdoor seating but inside was very tight on a rainy day. Standing room only for many patrons. Full selection of Tree House beers and canned cocktails.

The brewery is right on the beach, so you have stunning oceanfront views from basically every seat. There's a bunch of outdoor seating (which is kind of shaded, but was still sooo hot in July), a really cool tap room upstairs, and one of the best brewery merch stores I've seen on the ground floor. We visited on 4th of July weekend, so the minimal parking next the brewery was totally full. Luckily, there's an overflow lot with a shuttle van about 5 minutes down the road. It was pretty tricky to find however, so be sure to ask the staff in the on-site parking lot for specific directions if you need to get there. They serve all the same great beer you expect from Tree House, plus they have a nice little cocktail bar outside, so there's something for everyone. I really liked the Cape Hound and the Rum Punch. They also have great pizzas and lobster rolls, which are a bit pricey but worth the splurge in my opinion. You can also pick up cans to go here, and because Tree House doesn't distribute otherwise, that's a huge win for any locals in the area. Great spot to visit on your trip to Cape Cod. We'll be back!
