    Montage of images from Sal's Place
    Ed U.

    More than one travel vlogger has sung the praises of Sal's Place, so Jamie W and I were anxious to book a table at this locally famous spot when we were spending a few days in P-Town. In fact, on the way to Boy Beach, we stopped by to make a dinner reservation the next evening since they weren't answering the phone. When we came back, the place was bustling. It was Labor Day weekend, and the density of diners seemed at odds with Sal's vintage waterfront cottage setting. We could well imagine how idyllic it might feel on a quiet Sunday afternoon, but it was a busy Saturday evening with the tables crowded together. We were placed at a table made more claustrophobic by its location against a side wall. The staff appeared to have very specific roles. One girl was responsible for filling the water glasses, while another provided the small focaccia bread and olive oil. Honestly we were hoping to get more than three measly pieces (photo: https://yelp.to/RVotKwcdO9). Already looking rather perturbed, the actual server was strictly focused on taking our order and serving the plates. The hand-scripted menu was full of appetizing selections, and we decided to share the $20 Spanish Octopus, grilled and sliced with cherry peppers and olives, laid on top of a chickpea purée (photo: https://yelp.to/au1Zx10naC). This was the best plate of the evening. For his main, Jamie ordered the $40 Tiger Shrimp in pomodoro sauce with basil and garlic over linguine (photo: https://yelp.to/ng84J9mMSI). He pronounced it as reasonably good but the portion somewhat paltry. I went with the $40 Orchiette which was mixed with spicy Italian sausage, rabe, and olives (photo: https://yelp.to/28J6PelZ_f). Spicy enough yes but rather on the dry side. Just wasn't thrilled from a culinary standpoint, and it was pricey, too. Good thing I got a $20 Sal's Negroni, a nice mix of gin, campari, and vermouth (photo: https://yelp.to/jxIkwdwbGz). FOOD - 3 stars...just above average pasta plates and rather pricey, the octopus was the one standout AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...nice waterfront cottage but the Labor Day crowd compromised the charm SERVICE - 3 stars...perfunctory, time challenged TOTAL - 3 stars...kinda disappointing for all the pre-hype RELATED - Exploring Provincetown?

    Octopus starter

    Always a treat to eat here, so it's especially nice to be here for the 2025 season opening. The team couldn't be more pleasant. But its the food that shines. The octopus special as a starter could make anyone a lover. Getting these 8-legged wonders to be succulent and tender takes some skill, but they were "fork tender" good. We also shared a caesar salad before starting on the Vongalo; a buttery savory dish of linguine with clams and capers that spoke volumes to me. A dish so simple, that it can go so wrong, but as anticipated, it was a win for me . The other dish we ordered was the halibut, which could not have been fresher tasting if we had caught it ourselves. The dish let the fish's nature flavor speak loud, yet at the same time paired well with a simple white wine sauce and bed of vegetables. As the crowd grew, the atmosphere was more like being in a friends home than a busy restaurant. With plenty of smiles, laughter and some might tasty cocktails for those who choose to partake.

    I was really excited to FINALLY make it to Sal's Place. We have been following the saga and drama surrounding this little restaurant that could. I wanted to support them knowing how much they had to fight with some of the locals - just to run their business. I knew it was cash only and we made sure to tell our friends that joined us for dinner. The menu is small, the inside is cozy and the service was very nice. Our reservation was on the earlier side so we were there before it got too crowded. The food was good! We all enjoyed our meals. I don't usually say much about price...but it has to be mentioned here. Cocktails and appetizers were $20; entrees were $40 (others more). Like I said, the food was good...but the prices don't really match the quality/quantity. I might try again in the future, but it just seems a bit steep.

    My daughter and I absolutely loved Sal's. We have been in Ptown for 4 days and this was our favorite meal! We sat outside on the deck overlooking the water. Such a beautiful view. The blankets on the chairs were a special touch. Everyone that works there was so kind and helpful. We never had less than a half glass of water, someone added more bread to our plate as we ate it. We shared a Caesar salad that was delicious. I had the seafood fra diavolo (divine) and my daughter had the chicken parm. Her meal looks amazing as well. She said it was her favorite meal during our trip. We were given fudge after our meal which was a nice little treat. I wish we discovered this restaurant earlier because we would have come more than once. I am absolutely coming back.

    Out of all the years I spent coming to the Cape, I had never been to Sal's. I've gotta say all those years were missed opportunities. I started by trying the Caesar salad and the grilled octopus. I then ordered the chicken parm. We had received chocolates before we left for our show. The chicken parmesan was delicious, and it's the first time I've ordered one in years. The pasta was great, and the chicken was breaded and fried to perfection. The flavor in the sauce was phenomenal. As everyone knows a chicken parm is only as good as its sauce. The food was really good. The service was also great, and our server was friendly. The portion sizes were also pretty decent. I honestly miss this restaurant, and I wonder why it took so many years for us to come and find it. I feel like I finally found one of the Cape's hidden gems. The funny thing about the restaurant though is that to get to the bathroom you have to walk through the kitchen. You can see everyone running around, and you can see how they make the food. It's pretty cool. I just hope that I wasn't in the way. It was a great experience, and I'm going to put my vote in to come back again next year.

    Beautiful restaurant in a beautiful location. The food is delicious and the drinks were good pairing. Reservations are hard here so make sure to go there first and grab a bite.

    Caesar salad, crab cake
    Nathan N.

    A Provincetown staple, Sal's continues to embed itself deeper into this ocean town community. Nestled quietly in the West End, you will not leave disappointed. With a variety of sea food based meals, they offer a selection of curated pasta dishes and main plates that will satisfy a variety of tastes. We absolutely loved the Caesar salad, crab cake and meatballs to start. Following these appetizers I had an impeccable orchiette that was large enough for two. The staff and service were great and accommodated a reservation for our large group of 11. Even with our larger group, the restaurant still felt cozy and quaint with touches of nautical decor about the space. This place is a tradition for us while on vacation, and I can't wait to come back to it next year.

    The New Yorker in me wants to be abused by restaurants. Yeah daddy, force me to call you a month in advance for a reservation. Actually, that's amateur hour. Force me to call back three times and get sassed by a bored, rude maitre d' because your voicemail box is full, even though you only take reservations on the phone. Oooh, yes sir, give me a handwritten menu with four wine options. No, wait. Give me four wine options and don't even tell me what they are, beyond red, white, "maybe a rosé" and orange. I love a Billy Joel reference, and a $20 glass of wine. Thank you for throwing some chocolates on the table with my check, king! I will accept that in lieu of dessert. Yes master, I want you to bump into me six times during dinner service because you crammed a fire-code-violating number of tables into a shanty that's a short 25-minute walk from most of PTown. But oh man, what you get in return for your submissiveness, is sublime. Meatballs my mom and sister talked about for two days afterward. Salads that are perfectly dressed with subtly sour vinaigrettes. Italian comfort food like eggplant parm, done in the hi/lo style that defines luxury to me. Service that's at once confident and attentive. Only four cocktails, all batched, but all of them knockouts. And above all, an atmosphere, a confidence, a je-ne-sais-quoi that's catnip to any sophisticated gay man. A sense that you plucked a ripe fruit at the perfect moment, and everyone who didn't eat here, missed it. You want your vacation to feel special? Do whatever it takes, ignore the drawbacks, and book a dinner here.

    Love love love it, the food, the view, the service, and the price. The only thing is CASH ONLY so don't forget to bring cash

    Can't believe I never reviewed this. I had an amazing meal here with friends during the summer and really enjoyed it. I had a delicious Old Fashioned to start. It was very nice. Then I opted for a Caesar salad which was really tasty. For dinner, I wanted something substantial and went with a chicken parm. Man, it was good. I really enjoyed it and probably could have made it last two meals. Only downside is that, much like many places in P-town, the place is tiny and it's a squeeze at the table and you're eating in your neighbor's lap, but with food this good, it isn't much of a bother. It also ain't cheap, but you're definitely worth it. Can't wait to go back next year.

Everyone was looking relaxed and definitely not on the make. Customers skewed a tad older here, which made us feel right at home. We were particularly impressed that the veteran bartender had a mixing container dedicated to their espresso martinis, so of course, we ordered a pair for $16 each (photo: https://yelp.to/VmjWNmEyk0).

The side of 3 small meatballs were very good. Two Desserts, one tiramisu was good. One chocolate bread budding with the smallish topping of caramel cream was kinda dry that a fork cutting thru broke a hard chunk off. I like my bread pudding to be moist and creamy, not a firm block of bread. So the food was not as good as I hoped and my visiting buddy had a spaghetti marinara, and he was disappointed with it too.
