We are vegan so we had limited options. We ordered the veggie pasta dish and asked to have it modified to not include butter. We loved the sweet potato fries and their veggies over linguine was delicious. We will be back to try their black bean burger tomorrow night. The environment is warm and friendly. The Frozen cocktail I ordered was also delicious. Don't be in a hurry when you come here. They take their time and it's a great reminder to sit and enjoy the ambiance since we are on vacation. Josh, our server was very nice and attentive. read more

If you are going to eat one meal in Woods Hole, it should be here. Great area seafood at a reasonable price. A very unique place on the waterfront that should not be missed. I recommend making a reservation. read more

Landfall - Seafood Near Me - Woods Hole, Massachusetts

This restaurant is located near the dock right by the ferry station in the cape. It looks small on the outside, but quite roomy on the inside. There's a large bar area and large dinning area as well. We came for lunch and it was quite slow, only a few other people in the restaurant. We were seated immediately and drinks were brought to our table quickly. We both ordered bloody Mary's. It was fine, nothing special. I ordered the lobster casserole which was filled with tons of lobster meat. I also had the sweet potato fries which were good, not too soggy. My buddy ordered the fried seafood trio. It came with shrimp, scallops, and squid. It was ok, also nothing special. The macaroni salad that it came with was a little bit too sour and we didn't touch it. It was overall just an ok meal, which was sort of disappointing because I had been waiting all week for this place to open up for me to try it. Maybe next time it'll better. read more

I am very impressed, first of all the hostess was awesome, our waitress did a fantastic job with being attentive and the food is so delicious. I ordered the seafood Newburg and my wife ordered the lobster. One more thing, the homemade garlic bread is fantastic. read more

Where to start. We were seated promptly. The ambiance is very nice inside and it is located right next to the MV ferry in the harbor. Good and bad. The bad part is when the ferry leaves, all you smell in the restaurant and diesel fumes. Now the food. I got the baked stuffed lobster. For $51 this was underwhelming. The stuffing was mostly breadcrumbs. The lobster was also on the smaller side for $51. Not worth getting again. My child got mac and cheese which was just the Kraft box Mac and cheese. $10 for box Mac and cheese is ridiculous if you ask me. At least try and max a homemade Mac and cheese, it isn't hard. My wife ordered a lobster roll only to find out they were out! Out of a lobster roll....on the Cape....at a seafood restaurant....in a harbor?!?! Mind boggling. She ended up getting a burger and that was underwhelming also. All in all, a very underwhelming experience. The food was mediocre at best and the prices were high for what you get. Wouldn't rush to go back....overhyped! read more

Never been here before order the seafood platter it was the best I have ever had it melted in your mouth the French fries didn't look cooked but they were cooked to perfection I live on the. South shore I will come back for lunch many more times also the service was great shout out to John thank you read more

Okay. This place is awesomesauce. The decor is really cool - I love the buoys hanging from the ceiling, and the food was delicious. I ate way too much bread before the meal, but it was SO GOOD. Then I indulged in oysters and shared the clam chowder and Fried Fisherman's Platter with my girls. Everything was cooked perfectly and deliciously, AND our waitress was very sweet, attentive, and considerate. Great ambiance and great food! Oh, P.S. we got cake - it was one of the best slices of cake that I've ever had...and I've had A LOT of cake. It was light, sweet, and like dessert utopia. YES, I really said dessert utopia! read more

Landfall - Hello, lover - Seafood Near Me - Woods Hole, Massachusetts

After a day at Woods Hole Institue learning more of Titanic's ill-fated night and sightseeing the Cape's local flair, my former love and I dined here for dinner on our mini vacation of happier times in a past life of adult times. The decor is nautical rustic theme, and seafood cuisine appropriate to its location on the shore of Cape Cod. The crabcakes were very tasty yet somewhat moist as most restauranters prepare it very dry. The shrimp were very tasty along with my pasta. I don't remember my former love's entrée or appetizer were as he is not a huge fan of seafood, particular anything with bones which requires work for one to remove before consuming. The staff is warm and friendly in true Cape Cod fashion. I believe there is a full-service bar. I rate it four stars as the service is moderately slow as a native New Yorker "time is money" which I'm used to being on the go. read more

Landfall - Seafood Near Me - Woods Hole, Massachusetts

Good food, nice staff, a bit pretentious as is to be expected but overall a really nice time. The place is certainly priced for the clientele they want, but the view is very nice if not a bit overrated. I'm from Maui and the price they're charging for the view is twice what most of my favorite spots back home charge for a far better one. I'd go back, but only if there wasn't a better option available at the moment. Good restaurant, worth about 2/3 what they're charging. read more

Landfall - Negroni my old friend. - Seafood Near Me - Woods Hole, Massachusetts

Crab cakes overcooked as well as some of the seafood platter. Not what we expected from the reviews

Review for Father's Day, 19 June 22. Made reservation for a party of six well in advance with no problems. Food was delicious and chef was accommodating to diet restrictions. Have no complaints and will be back again. read more

Food needs serious improvement. I will not return despite its special dockside atmosphere. Locals warned us of the mediocre food, but it was the only Woods Hole place open for a late nite meal. Ordered steamers (a new eng classic) but clams smelled bad & were not fresh nor freshly cooked. Clams should smell like the ocean and sweet. These were clearly rancid and unacceptable. We avoided illness and did not eat. Our server (kind college-aged guy) apologized & took it off tab. Stuffed clam app was over cooked. $32 "special" linguine with clams tasted fine but only had 6 clams with little pasta. A RIP OFF! Place is fine for a drink I guess, but avoid the food. The locals were exactly right. read more

can't speak for the food, but one of the best places for a cocktail on a sunny day. the juices are all fresh made. order from the bar and go out back and sit on the dock. heaven. read more

We were worried reading some of the reviews and this was a special occasion we have been waiting for. We had a great time! We booked well in advance so had a table by the window. This makes a difference. Fun watching boats come in to pickup food! Terrific Eel pond margarita. All entrees were very good; bluefin tuna over soba noodles special featured tuna prepared just right; appetizers deserve special note as mussels feature superb tasty broth and kale salad was very fresh and well prepared. Busy Saturday night and we got water for us all whenever we needed it. This is an overwhyseason for many Cape businesses so glad to see some to do it right! read more

Beautiful spot on the water, hood food and service. I would love to arrive by boat someday.

My wife & I shared the fruit, cheese, meat & cracker app & then I ordered the broiled Seafood medley. All the food was presented very well & tasted great. Oh ya, the Sam Adams Summer Ale on tap was nice & chilly. read more

I've been coming to the Landfall for years, it's one of my favorite traditions. There is a reason why it's been open so long and has a lot to do with the incredible view. It's right on the water in Wood's Hole and is very open and airy (which is a definite plus right now). They are definitely an old school restaurant, every meal starts with amazing garlic bread and everyone gets a salad included in their entree order. This is definitely the place to be if you are a seafood lover, but their no seafood options are pretty tasty too. Knocking off one star as they tend to overcook the filet mignon here, but again, seafood is their strength. They also have a fun cocktail menu and drinking a tropical drink while gazing at the ocean is worth the trip here. During non pandemic times parking can be tough but they valet! read more

Sat at the bar ordered food found a hair in my seafood bartender was was so rude to us owner hide from us when asked to talk to him terrible customer service read more

Nice view. Cool room. Nice waitress. Fast service. However the (expensive) food is totally mediocre. We went for lunch. I had fish tacos that were on what tasted like stale tortilla, chewy (lightly fried I guess?) fish was over fried and not tasty, wilted lettuce and French fries meh. Probably the worst tacos I have ever had. My husband had the sword fish sandwich which was a little better but on boring roll.... not great especially for $20 per entree! It was a disappointment. read more

This restaurant was everything we wanted and more. The area has very limited parking but this restaurant has its own lot which was a huge perk. We were seated quickly by a smiling pleasant hostess. The waiter was attentive and accurate. The food was amazing. Everything fresh and just what you would want and expect from a restaurant on the water. read more

I've dined in this establishment a couple of times and found both service and food to be exceptional. If you are in Falmouth and Woods Hole area try it out. You won't be disappointed. I'm from California now and stop here whenever I visit on Cape Cod. read more

Hostess SUCKED! After that, the kitchen did nothing wrong. Cooked to order. HUGE tomato slices. Leafy lettuce (not the crunchy middle stalk) The potato salad had a cardboard taste.. Thats because I had to eat it using the cover it came with. Hostess, sucked... No silverware, napkins, condiments or generally GIVE A DAMN. She "sent" my order before i was done ordering. Preset machine buttons and she is ordering according to how fast she can out her elbows back on the counter and sigh. Consider this my verbal bitch slap. read more

Landfall - No silverware to eat the potato salad. Didn't want onion, so why onion? Did want guacamole but... No guac. Hostess SUCKED. Burger :) - Seafood Near Me - Woods Hole, Massachusetts

A few things: 1. Food is overpriced, simple as that. Large prices, small-ish portions depending on what you get. 2. When we went, the hostess was awesome. Friendly, sincere, and knew what she was doing. Made sure we were seated and that we were enjoying out food once the main course came out. 3. Garlic bread is amazing. I don't care what kind of diet you're on, you will cave and eat six pieces. HOWEVER, it is an issue when the bread is the highlight of the meal. 4. Food in general was mediocre at best. Fried food was good, but Mcdonald's also has fried food. 5. The view is top notch. You get a great view of Woods Hole, and can get a meal to accompany the view. read more

Great ambiance...cold chowder, cold clams...sent back got back burned clams. This used to be one of our favorite go to restaurants...but can not see us ever taking guests there again. Maybe its the end of season menu. It was not good. read more

The best restaurant in Falmouth! Love the open air dining area. With all the wood from old ships as beams and buoys in the rafters. Right on the water in Woods hole beautiful. Free parking, reservations which is nice because most restaurants in area do not. Excellent seafood always fresh. The sandwiches are also always good.We visit Falmouth for one week every August. We enjoy the restaurant so much we always eat there at least twice. Can not wait to return. read more

Really lovely setting and ambiance with delicious food and cocktails. I had a delicious clam chowder served in a cute mug available for purchase and a delicious scallops entree. I'd recommend to not miss this place if you're visiting Woodshole. read more

This was the first time I've ever had a gluten-free order in any restaurant go wrong. The menu said they could prepare pasta and vegetables gluten-free. But the way they do it is by just removing the pasta. Then they didn't even give me extra vegetables to compensate for the loss of the pasta. I spent $21 for a half a plate of vegetables. read more

First, the service was excellent. Unfortunately the calamari was not, It was way too dry and chewy. My broiled scallops were very good, but the scrod was a bit chewy, like it was frozen. The garlic bread was tasty but a little limp. Given the price, I was expecting everything to be excellent. read more

Great location and ambience, but the food was very underwhelming for the price. You're pay for the location here. Go somewhere else if you're hoping for more of a culinary experience! read more

Good kids menu. Solid clam chowder. Garlic toast is the highlight. Entrees are waaaaaay overpriced. Poor customer service. Overpriced generally ($15 for a so-so not cold martini, $13 for a kids meal burger). While I appreciate that the decor is historical it creates a dark atmosphere. Everything feels 'old' and not in a good historical way...more in a 'really needs updating' way. read more

I was not a fan of this place. The food was just not that good. Fortunately I overheard another table about a but one get one half off deal. It was either through Yelp or Groupon. I'm pretty sure it was Yelp. Even though we had already ordered. The waitress still applied the offer to our check. Very cute inside I just wish the food was better. read more

Not bad, but not great, and definitely not worth the price. My meal cost about $35 and I would say it was worth about $20. Service was OK. Ambience is OK -- the decor is neat but I feel like this restaurant is trying to be more pretentious/formal than it really is. I wasn't unhappy with my meal, it was well prepared but it just wasn't worth it. I won't be back. read more

Gotta say the service was pretty chaotic, with forgotten silverware despite many asks. But the food was good, and the atmosphere on the "first come, first served" patio was nice. Chowd - nicely thick and creamy without any raw flour taste, could use a few more clams and a  bit of seasoning but very good. I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5. I had a Caesar salad with swordfish tips, which were just slightly overcooked. All in all, an OK meal, but nothing amazing. read more

Landfall - Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Woods Hole, Massachusetts

Have been here many times in the past and enjoyed it. This year not so much. Usually a great start to a Vineyard vacation. We dined today, a Sunday night and I decided to indulge and order the usually excellent light fried and fresh seafood platter. This year post Covid the price was raised to $37 but I get that given a rough last year. The food tasted like it was cooked some time ago and refired for Sunday, same with the fries. Clearly a mistake. Three stars for the staff, great location and years of doing it right. The take away is to maybe try something else than the fried fish platter. Especially at $37. read more

I ordered the crab cakes. They were burnt and tasted like old oil. The server was a little unorganized. The place had a nice ambiance.

We came here for Mother's Day, and the ladies were all happy we did. On Mother's Day, having the Momma and her kids happy is the number one priority. #winning Yes, it's a little bit pricey, but it's a restaurant literally *on the water* in Woods Hole, Cape Cod. The Momma had the frittata and the mimosas and loved both (this was the most important thing). Our Daughter had her first Shirley Temple, which she loved. She also loved her Nobska Salad. Our server was wonderful - just the right amount of personality and attentiveness. In fact, everyone I spoke with there was quite nice, from the hostess, who read my Open Table request to greet my party by name, from the bartender, who shared with me some of the history of the restaurant. The food was fine, the view was great, and our server was wonderful. I have zero complaints, and I may bring everyone back again next year. Thank you, Landfall, for a wonderful Mother's Day experience! read more

The atmosphere was cool - nice view, and decorations, but it was hot inside. I wish that is was the same temperature as the outside. The appetizers and dessert and drinks were FANTASTIC. The entrees were not the best, scallops were not good, neither the steak. The fish and chips were decent. The service was slow, especially for the entrees. read more

A very nice bar/restaurant tucked perfectly in picturesque Woods Hole. The atmosphere is very nice for a local bar, and you can't get much more local than this. If you are just passing through you are aware that just about everyone else knows each other but you don't get that hostile "townie" vibe. With part of the WHOI campus all over town and the Steamship to MV bracketing this place you have more than just your usual barfly favorites to chat up. Add to that that the Leeside seems to have closed, the Landfall always seems to have something going on. Enjoy a drink n a smoke out front next to the cozy n toasty fire-pit, or take some truly epic sunset pics on the dock out back. The food is pretty good as well, and who can beat 25 cent fish bites and wings between 4 n 6 everyday? No one, thats who. The wings are meaty, crispy pieces of goodness and the fish bites are solid hunks of very fresh fish.(either Haddock or Cod, but Methinks Haddock) If you were expecting mealy and pasty fish, i'm sorry to inform you they only have fresh fish here. read more

Landfall - The Bar! - Seafood Near Me - Woods Hole, Massachusetts

We were staying in Falmouth for a wedding this May and decided to take a bike ride to Woods Hole along the bike trail. When we got to Woods Hole, we had worked up an appetite, and the Landfall looked like the perfect spot to refuel. Our friend getting married this weekend (who had summered in Falmouth for 25+years) had recommended this spot too on the wedding website so we were happy to have stumbled upon it. It's a huge restaurant with a fishing/nautical theme. The ceiling was my favorite component, with lots of wood and buoys to check out while you dined. The rest of the decor was pretty cool as well, lots of vintage signs and "artifacts" from Woods Hole/Cape Cod's past. I read on their website that a lot of the wood used in the restaurant is rescued from old shipwrecks which is pretty neat! We didn't luck out with a waterfront table, which was a bummer, but got one just one row back, which was great too. Since it was late May, the restaurant wasn't too busy so we had no wait and found the service to be quick throughout. We enjoyed the chowder, fried clams, and cheeseburger. All were well done and the servings were LARGE. Not the best we've ever had, but good for certain. For lunch, we found the prices to be reasonable (most items were in the $5-$15 range). We ran into a lot of other wedding guest attendees while we ate here (they must have followed the wedding website recommendations too!) and many of them were not from the Northeast and were blown away by the views and the seafood. Quick tips: -It's also a super short walk from the ferry so would be a good place to grab a meal before or after a trip on the ferry! -They accept open table reservations which sounds like a good idea if you plan to go in the evening or during busy season or are a larger group. -They appeared to have a space/room for private events (there was a bridal shower taking place while we were having lunch) which might be a good option for anyone looking for a venue space on the water...rehearsal dinner, birthday dinner, shower, etc! Looked like a really nice nautical themed space from what we could see! read more
