On the early summer evening we visited, a wedding celebration was happening just a few doors down. Since the sought-after patio tables had been reserved days in advance, our party of six sat indoors, where the navy-and-white-striped décor contributed to a dimly lit atmosphere. Our server was friendly but seemed a bit apprehensive when he approached our table. After we mentioned that our niece was a vegetarian and specifically requested no bacon in her Chop Chop salad, we were surprised to find it included bacon. Service was attentive, but missed an opportunity to refill my outstanding $18 white peach mojito when dinner was served. The food itself was hit-or-miss: standouts included the bang bang cauliflower and burrata caprese appetizers, the flatiron steak, and the salmon special, while the shrimp tacos, chop salad, and haddock ceviche were underwhelming. We decided to skip dessert. If I could give 3.5 stars, I would.

Our party is especially thankful for the gracious help from the front of house staff to seat us at 9:30, a full 30 minutes after our 9:00 reservation.

We decided to give Front Street another try and were excited to visit their new location with its…read morebeautiful harbor views. The view was easily the highlight of the evening. Unfortunately, the exterior of the building is easy to miss, with all of the curtains closed, making it blend into its surroundings unless you're specifically looking for it. We were greeted promptly upon arrival and appreciated the thoughtful nods to the original location, with several familiar items on display. It was a nice touch that added some character and nostalgia. We chose to sit at the bar, which is quite large. The bartender was responsible for approximately 20 bar guests while also handling drink service for the restaurant. Despite being spread very thin, she was friendly, attentive, and made excellent martinis. She truly did the best she could under the circumstances. We ordered an appetizer, which took a long time to arrive. When our entrées were served, both the pasta and chicken dishes were only lukewarm. The sauces were extremely thin--more like soup than a pasta sauce. To add to the disappointment, there was no bread service because the restaurant had run out of bread. Overall, the meals were fair but fell well short of our expectations. As we were leaving, we tried to speak with the hostess about the new location and the restaurant's plans for the future. Unfortunately, she seemed dismissive and showed little interest in having a conversation with us. We genuinely wanted Front Street's new chapter to be a success and were hoping for a much better experience, especially after spending nearly $200. There is certainly potential here--the location is beautiful, and some members of the staff are clearly working hard--but the overall dining experience simply did not match the price point. We hope the restaurant is able to address these issues as it settles into its new home for the rest of this season.

But our server , Mathias- was "incredible " he gives us tips on what was good to eat, the deals to get and basically took great care of us. I had your basic Fish & chip, but not basic by any means. Rather a large piece of lightly battered fish with a great helping of fries, and I do believe the tartar sauce was homemade! My husband had the Stuffed Haddock, shrimp & scallop stuffing - to die for! Ambiance was the typical "by the sea" nevertheless packed them in! There is one thing tho I must criticize on... never , never vacuum in a space where people are eating! No no no! IDC if its a hypoallergenic vacuum- its is just not what you do! Its gross! Love the place, love Mathias- and we will be back next year to eat!

The green goddess dressing on the spring vegetable salad really stood out! It balanced out the sweetness of the fresh peas. I ordered the scallop and shrimp entree ($43) which came with coconut basmati rice, grilled asparagus, and a bright mango salad. I'm still thinking about the flavor on the seafood--I was practically licking the plate! My dining partner got the lamb skewer ($28) and particularly liked the side sauce it came with. We finished with the lemon tart ($13), which was like a deconstructed lemon bar. It came with a sugar cookie on the side and fresh mint. It was so good that we were scraping the bowl! The service was swift and professional. Overall, Joon's vibe is stylish, upscale, and perfect for a special night out!

The restaurant is so pretty, the view is gorgeous, and the staff is so nice. Our waiter, Ivan, was a real treat. He made sure we were having a good, fun time from the minute we sat down. We were particularly impressed when, on realizing we were all going to share the Caesar salad, he brought out the salad already portioned into individual bowls. Also shout out to the focaccia bread and the amazing staff making sure we always had enough! I cannot recommend this place any more. If you're in town, you must make a reservation, it's worth it

We arrived at Sal's Place on the hottest night of the year. There wasn't a breeze to be found, and…read moreI was absolutely melting. Within minutes, though, none of that mattered. We were seated at a cozy table for two with beautiful views of the bay, and from that moment on, the experience was flawless. Ivan was the consummate professional, warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. He guided us through the menu, made thoughtful recommendations, and made us feel like regulars from the moment we sat down. His colleague kept our glasses filled with ice-cold lemon water all evening, a small gesture that was especially appreciated on such a sweltering night. We also had a second serving of delicious focaccia without even asking!! The service was effortless. You never had to look around or wonder where anyone was. Someone always seemed to appear exactly when you needed them. The wine was perfectly chilled. The food arrived piping hot. Every dish was beautifully prepared, balanced, and full of flavor. Nothing tried too hard; everything simply worked. One of my favorite parts of the evening was the atmosphere. No blaring music competing with conversation, just the soft hum of happy diners, the occasional call of a seagull, and the peaceful feeling of dining by the water. And then came the fudge at the end. Really? As if they hadn't already won us over. Sal's Place isn't just dinner, it's the kind of experience that reminds you why people fall in love with Provincetown. Thoughtful hospitality, incredible food, a spectacular setting, and a team that genuinely cares. We can't wait to return.

Food was absolutely incredible - the interesting flavors were so well-balanced and played well together. Yellowtail app was a standout (and aesthetically a work of art, I imagined a scene from The Bear with someone using tweezers to construct it as I ate it). I also ordered the recommended special drink - a dry gin martini with a little splash of olive oil - it was like drinking butter. Highly recommend Freeman's for a special night out. Oh, and don't skip the Parker House rolls. They are worth every carb and calorie. We were worried the vibe might be stiff/snooty based on some reactions we got when we said we were eating here but this was not the case at all. Everyone was delightful!
