    Spicy Hawaiian
    Lauren S.

    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.

Luckily they had gluten-free fish and chips. However, after waiting over an hour for our food, the fish and chips came out completely inedible. It was like they forgot it in the fryer or something. It was rock hard and the fish was completely soaked in oil. The server was very nice, and offered to take it off of our check or have the kitchen redo the order. We had it taken off of our check because of the extremely long wait and dissatisfaction with how it came out the first time. It's fish and chips, not ratatouille. The red pepper gnocchi was good, but definitely an appetizer size. The salad was a salad, thankfully it was edible. I want to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt, but it was not busy, so I'm not exactly sure what happened in the kitchen. Due to this experience, I would not recommend this restaurant.

I pride myself on not wasting food, but man it was hard to eat a completely unseasoned steak with just a slab of butter on it. No salt, no pepper, no seasoning AT ALL. We ultimately asked for bbq sauce to help get it down but really I cannot understand how the fried pickle batter was so well seasoned and this steak came out completely UNSEASONED. I would ONLY come here again if my family members were inclined to drink more of the unique beer menu. I would definitely not order past the apps menu

Then when you add the fact that this family-owned restaurant has clearly prioritized quality food and service, The Ocean House is must go if you're on the Cape. I was lucky enough to come just at the beginning of the season. Lucky for 2 reasons. Firstly, I was able to get a reservation (I heard it is near impossible once season hits). Secondly, we got a 3 @ 66 deal for an app, a main, and a dessert. So we obviously made it a 6 @ 122 to try everything we possibly could. Apparently that deal is only at the beginning and end of season. The Ocean House has a unique Asian-inspired twist to make each dish unique and intriguing. This goes for both food and drinks. For example, I got a dirty martini with MSG?!? Never heard of that, but it worked. Food was all fresh (especially the fish) and delicious. My favorite was their Chilean Sea Bass. That's a must get. Do yourself a favor and make a resi far in advance and take in everything you can! It may be a little pricy and a little fancy - but definitely worth everything.

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.

The homemade dressing is on point. If you are in the mood for a Caesar, this is a great place to get it Meal Side Scallops & Gnocchi. Wow this dish was sooo good. The Truffle Parm Cream sauce and Gnocchi were special. Delicious Balsamic Glaze on the sides as well The Mad Tuna - Tuna dish was out of this world. So fresh!! Tuna was the star and they seared it perfectly. This was a great cut and fresh piece of Tuna. The sauces around the plate accompanied everything well too. I liked the Wasabi, Sweet Soy & Yuzu for the Tuna. I enjoyed the Spicy Mayo & Avocado smash for the Rice Balls. My only complaint was that it could have used a little more Tuna and one extra rice ball. The rest of my party seemed full from their meals while I found myself searching for more Crab Cake Sando - Delicious but the Crab Cake Tater Tots felt like enough Crab for the cape. My advice would be to either get 1 or the other Love how many chicken strips 5 came with the kids meal French fry's were tasty. This was a great kids dish Final Bill There was a 3.75% charge for using a credit card, 2% added tip for the cooking team and then line for tip. It just all gets out of hand quickly. In my opinion, these aren't cheap meals and too many restaurants now adays are pushing extra operational costs onto the customer when the meal prices seem high enough. What happens if we got drinks too?

My hot lobster roll was loaded with tender lobster and perfectly buttery, and the sweet potato wedge fries were a great match. The clam chowder was thick, flavorful, and packed with clams, absolutely living up to their reputation. My son really enjoyed his fish and chips from the kids' menu -- crunchy on the outside, moist inside, and plenty of fries. Service was excellent from start to finish. The ambiance was casual and lively but not too loud, with a classic pub feel that still felt very family-friendly. The restaurant is quite large with a spacious dining area, so even when it was busy we didn't feel crowded. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and on point the whole time, keeping drinks topped off. Overall, a great, family-friendly spot with delicious Cape Cod seafood and more than enough food for the price. We'll definitely be back if we're ever in town again.
