    It's a really nice place that gets busy pretty quick. Really good shrimp scampi pizza and very decent seafood platter. The ambience is awesome when they have lots of live music especially during the weekend. The service is very friendly , outdoor seating hard to get.

    The Sandbar was our favorite stop while on vacation in Dennis. The staff were friendly and recommended we grab a beer inside during our short wait for a spot outside. We got quick service at the bar despite it being a full house, and our wait was much quicker than expected. We got the spicy Hawaiian pizza with GF crust and me and my husband agreed that it was one of the better gluten-free pizzas we've had. The oysters from the outside bar were great too and shucked right in front of us. The views from the patio are stunning and the live music was super fun!

    Great atmosphere! Fun spot right on the water with the best outdoor seating to enjoy sunset. Enjoyed a delicious fried clam platter and fish and chips along with some drinks. Service was quick and attentive despite a large crowd. A summer time staple in mid cape!

    Had some beers here one night. It was a pretty good time. It does get super crowded as it gets late though.

Well, on vacation I wanted to try this place as it was a part of my gluten-free restaurant lineup and I'm so happy we waited to try it. Among the other plates that we got, we did try the "not a cuban" sandwich, the creamy mac & cheese, and some more of their "summer lovin" drinks The pulled pork was amazing as it was perfectly slow cooked, had a nice subtle Smokey flavor, and pulled apart like butter in your mouth. I was happy to see all their gluten free options and they even had house made gluten free batter blend for sale in the front. The place overall is a vibe. They have a lot of cool local events with live music, half off burgers on Thursdays, and even a boozy brunch from 10 AM to two on Saturdays and Sundays. I'd recommend coming to try the BBQ here as it was delicious and reminded of a very popular BBQ place back home. Great place for family eating with outdoor seating and indoor seating.

    When we couldn't get seated at another restaurant, we pivoted to Cleat and Anchor. Lucky us! It…read moreturned out to be one of our best meals on The Cape.

    Pelham Resort Rooftop -- A Perfect Evening…read more Beautiful views, warm service, and excellent food. From Dennis we could see all the way to Monomoy Island, which made the whole evening feel special. Olivia, our server, was fantastic--attentive, friendly, and thoughtful. She even brought Keith a complimentary birthday toast, which was such a lovely touch. We started with the Crispy Point Judith Calamari, perfectly fried with bright pickled peppers and a great lemon aioli. So tasty. My husband had the Pan-Seared Cod Loin with Thai khao soi and soba noodles--he absolutely loved it. I ordered the Maine Lobster Ravioli with butternut squash purée and tarragon Newburg sauce, and it was rich, balanced, and delicious. A gorgeous setting, memorable dishes, and genuinely kind service. We'll definitely be back.

    I spent a long weekend in the area this past weekend and came here twice. The first time was Friday…read moreafternoon just before 2 PM. My friend and I were there for drinks, but she ended up getting clam chowder before the kitchen closed for the afternoon. Unfortunately, it came out barely lukewarm. I assume they don't make the soup from scratch each bowl, so they really only needed to warm it up to the right temperature. The women's restroom only had 2 stalls and 2 sinks. One stall had no toilet paper and one sink had no soap. I get that the soap dispenser might be broken, but there's no reason to have no toilet paper when there were exactly 4 people standing around talking at the host stand... The table service from Karlo was attentive and polite. I went back with 3 others on Sunday as we had a brunch reservation for 10 AM. This was nothing short of a disaster. We got there on time and put in our orders quickly. The food (mostly consisting of various kinds of eggs, toast, avocados, and yogurt) took nearly an hour to come out. We asked twice and were told that the kitchen was backed up. They should have staggered reservations and seating if they couldn't accommodate a full restaurant near the time of opening. The rest of my day was rushed because I had to wait an hour for scrambled eggs and an english muffin. While the service was friendly, they even charged us for an iced tea refill and took the coffee cups away instead of offering more. If you're making us wait an hour for breakfast, maybe do a solid and offer a free refill of the non-alcoholic beverages. [Or even the alcoholic ones!] All in all, the service is decent and the view is great. The food and the wait leaves much to be desired. If I come back, it'll be drinks-only.

The service throughout was great and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. We started with the fried calamari and it was one of the best preparations I've had. It came with diced tomatoes and banana pepper rings which added a nice freshness and a little kick. For mains, the baked cod was excellent. The panko crust was crispy, the fish was fresh, and it came with well seasoned mashed potatoes and vegetables. The Fisherman's Platter was also fantastic. It came with fried cod, shrimp, scallops, clam strips, and two sides. I picked buttered rice and mashed potatoes, both of which were really good. Everything was fried perfectly and it also came with tartar sauce and a spicy sauce. It's a huge portion, so I'd recommend sharing it with another person. The kids fish and chips were good. The kids mac and cheese was the biggest disappointment. It tasted like Kraft or something very similar and felt severely overpriced for what it was. Someone else ordered the Crunchy Fish Sandwich which looked really good, although I didn't get to try it. For drinks I had the Citrus Mule and didn't really care for it. Overall, I really liked the menu. There was a good variety of seafood and non-seafood options, everything tasted fresh, and the service was excellent. Cost was roughly $36 per person which felt fair considering the quality and portions. We enjoyed this meal more than Skipper and I'd definitely come back.
