Her drinks are fantastic, and after talking with her I realized she takes pride in using quality tequilas and liquors. I had eaten early and only wanted a snack, so I ordered delicious guacamole and chips, plus a side salad with red cabbage, mayo, and something else I can't recall. Definitely put this on your list to visit in Orleans if you're looking for the best margaritas and quality Mexican food.

Our server was very helpful in identifying what dishes they could make vegan for me. I ordered the bowl (no dairy) and added roasted brussel sprouts and it was a very filling and satisfying meal. I recommend getting some salsa on the side to add flavor. We also got the fried plantains with guacamole to start. I normally love plantains but I found these a bit dense and dry. The guac was very salty but good! The paloma mocktail was nice but I would definitely order it without the salt rim if I were to get it again. Overall we had an enjoyable time despite rainy weather outside and I appreciated that they had a number of items they could make vegan!

We were able to make a reservation a few hours before we got there and were seated right away. Our table ordered a variety of dishes; for apps we had calamari and chicken wings (crispy and with a delish garlic/parmesan/cilantro sauce) that we also dipped our table bread in. For entrees, we had the star of the show, the mocajete dish, steak tips, chicken caprese dish, chicken parm dishes, scallops w/pasta and salmon and risotto dishes. All were delicious and devoured. The service was good and tap water taste a little different, not sure if that's a Cape Cod thing. The entrees did seem to take a little long to come out and not all at the same time. All in all, everyone was happy with their dish. Highly recommend this place.

I did takeout here when it was still the pandemic days. The lobster and clams linguine was generously portioned with a full lobster, lots of clams, and an abundance of linguini. The fisherman's stew was chock full of fish and other seafood, with a flavorful and briny broth. I came here for in-person dining recently and it seemed like the portions were smaller than before I suppose it's shrinkflation but not the most pleasant. The shrimp scampi was fine but nothing to write home about. I think the best part was the pasta, which was homemade. The seafood bowl special had scallops on the half-shell but they were definitely bay scallops, which was disappointing. Service was prompt and friendly. The restaurant is not a bad choice but if you're here on vacay, you can (and should) find something better.

Their onion rings with some ketchup or dipped in their burger sauce is close to onion ring experience perfection. We also had a chocolate shake which was very good. It's not pictured because we decided to get it as we were leaving. The chocolate flavor was bold and it didn't come from a low quality syrup. Eating this outside made it that much better! This place gets a 4 only because it's not a top 3 burger or overall experience I have had at places similar to this. The quality and freshness is very good though!

We dined outdoors in the early July evening, and the atmosphere was perfect. Our server struck the perfect balance between friendly/casual and attentive. Spinnaker offers some fun cocktails, and a tight and focused wine list. A Greek salad (different, with a creamy dressing) was a nice, fresh starter. The bolognese was practically life-changing, and also a balm for my pasta soul, coming a few weeks after a very disappointing carbonara. I'd have a hard time ordering anything else on a return visit, though there are so many tempting items on this menu. The short ribs were also a standout here, with a variation from the typical takes. And then there was the bread pudding. Again, practically life-changing. Do not skip this dessert. We do not live anywhere near the Cape, but if we're ever back, I'll certainly make a return visit a priority. Just wow.

The Caesar salad was good, but nothing particularly memorable. We visited to celebrate my mom's birthday. They added a candle to the dessert we ordered, which was a nice touch, but there wasn't much additional acknowledgment of the occasion. If you're looking for a restaurant that goes above and beyond for special celebrations, this may not be the best choice.
