I cannot rave enough about this place. I've visited Hyannis in March, three years in a row. Every…read moreyear we have eaten here for one of our meals. Every year is has been incredible. This year we came back because of how outstanding last year was. I ordered the chili again, even though I knew it meant I probably wouldn't eat my whole meal. My friend ordered the fish and chips and upgraded to truffle fries. She said it was probably the best fish and chips she's had. Now... for my meal... I am not exaggerating... BEST meal I have EVER had. Ever. I had the cod. Baked. With pesto, and sun-dried tomatoes. Served with roasted potatoes and spinach. So flaky. So tender. Perfectly cooked. The flavor was something straight from heaven. Breaks my heart I'm not local. I'd eat this weekly. All of the staff is always so friendly. A gentleman also checked in... not sure if he's a manager or owner. This is a top notch place. I'll definitely be back.

We recently stopped by Portside Tavern and were reminded why we love great local spots like this…read more It's a fantastic low-key bar that's just as good for dinner as it is for catching a game. The TV screens are perfectly placed, the bartenders are friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The pizza was excellent -- flavorful, hot, and done just right. We also tried the meatloaf, and it genuinely reminded us of our grandmother's from years ago -- comforting, hearty, and full of flavor. That's not something you find everywhere. Even in the middle of winter, the place had a warm, lively vibe. We ended up having a great conversation with someone we later found out was the owner -- just chatting about everyday life. That kind of genuine hospitality says a lot. Good food, great service, and an easygoing atmosphere. Thanks for a great experience -- we'll definitely be back!

What a great find Sue had a coupon for the Cove…read moreWe were pleasantly surprised at the upscale restaurant right near the end of the Main Street in Hyannis The service was superb! Katie was our waitress,and she aimed to please from the wine tasting to make sure we like our choices from the wine list We both selected the fish taco with pineapple salsa with a very nice dressing The unique potato chip fried fish was so fresh We opt for the garlic bread to go with our wine and that too had its special flare I know we both said this is a first but not our last trip to enjoy the food ,service and ambience . Thanks Katie for answering all our many questions and making so many extra trips to the kitchen for us Jackie S

We came here because of the great reviews and sat at the bar, but we were pretty disappointed. The…read morebluefish pate itself was good, but rather on the salty side, so serving it with salt and vinegar chips made it pretty much inedibly salty (this was taken off the bill when the bartender noticed we didn't eat more than one bite each). My first glass of vinho verde wine was served at room temperature (the second was fine), and the side plate I was given was crusted with dried food residue. I also watched an employee behind the bar wipe her nose with her hand and then continue slicing citrus barehanded. The chicken empanadas were good but not particularly special. We also had one of the small pizzas, which was the best thing of the night, crispy and flavorful (with a little char at the edges, which we like). The decor is a little bananas (different shades of green between the walls, the napkins, the barstools, and the banquettes; five kinds of lighting fixtures; lots of sound and lighting items with exposed, hasty-looking wiring). The bathroom door doesn't really close and lock properly. And the restaurant is really loud, even half full. The writing on the menu, about family members and special recipes, tells me that there's pride here and real care about making a good restaurant. However, without the attention to detail (particularly cleanliness and hygiene!), that's kind of moot. Three stars instead of two here because the pizza was good and the staff obviously care about customers.

I came here on a Friday night and enjoyed the experience. One thing to note, and it's not necessarily a bad thing, it is loud. It's an open floor plan and there is pool, TVs and lots of conversation. So if you're looking for a quiet romantic meal choose a different place. However, if you're looking for great food, drink and a fun atmosphere, this is your place. The fried green beans were great. However, even more impressive was the New England clam chowder. It's one of the best I had in a while. For a meal, I had the fish and chips and both the fish and fries were done to perfection. Definitely will come here again, even it's just for a beer and chowder!

We didn't wait at all, they already had a table waiting for us. The waitress was outstanding -- quick, kind, funny & got EVERYTHING in the order right, on top of clearly training a new waitress. The food was out within 20 minutes of ordering. There was plenty of seating inside and outside. My only wish is that the specials written on the outside specials board are included in a menu insert or something -- we didn't know all the specials were options until we left! Overall, prices are decent, food was delicious, & service was top-tier. Thank you!!

The location is stunning, especially as the sun sets over the water. Just don't show up without a reservation unless you're in the mood for a wait. We were quoted an hour... it turned into two. Not ideal with two kids under four, but we made it work thanks to a small beach 10 minutes away and a drink from the bar to take the edge off. Valet parking is your only option and it's a bit chaotic--just let the pros do their thing and be sure to have a tip ready. Once you're seated (inside, out on the patio, or in the covered sunroom), the ambiance is relaxed but lively, and the place is huge with no shortage of staff buzzing around. Food? Totally worth the hype. We started with fresh oysters and complimentary bread with butter--off to a great start. I ordered the scallop risotto, and I'm still thinking about it. Creamy, rich, and layered with bacon, lobster, corn, and seared scallops cooked to perfection. Half our table ended up ordering so there was no disappointment once the first plate made its debut. The kids' pizza also deserves a shoutout--fluffy, golden crust that almost made me abandon my risotto and ask for a bite. The wine list was solid, cocktails looked great, and my boyfriend gave the beer selection a shrug. Our server wasn't the friendliest and water refills were a game of "guess when she'll remember," but honestly, it didn't overshadow the meal. Final word: amazing food, a beautiful waterfront view, and the kind of bustling Cape atmosphere you want on vacation. Just make a reservation, tip your valet, and order the risotto. Trust me.

The waiter let us know, it's the end of season and they will be packing it all up for the winter! Whew! Y'all it's cold! But thanks for good food and service!
