Where do I start?? Well, first this place is ONE OF A KIND! Back in August, while on vacation, my wife asked me to find a place to get a bite and a drink on the water with a view. After looking around, I located Trader Ed's. We went there not knowing what to expect, we left we a new FAVORITE spot on the Cape! We went back a few more times that week, and before you knew it, the staff knew us by name. Fast forward to the weekend. A couple of months later, we are back on the Cape. We made a beeline to Trader Ed's, walked in a the staff began cheering my wife's name like we never left. We just had the best weekend there. Thanks to John and his staff! You guys rock!

My companion and I sat on the patio overlooking the harbor for an early dinner. My companion…read moreordered a Bully Boy Vodka Bloody Mary, while I enjoyed a Black Cat Sangria. Both drinks were very good. After our drinks were served, I asked our server a few questions about the portion size of the calamari. Since we were still undecided about our selections, the server left us to consider our options. Once we had made our choices, however, we had difficulty getting the server's attention. My companion had to first motion to the server and eventually call out to get their attention--three times! We both started with a cup of New England Clam Chowder, although I ordered a bowl with my meal. There is definitely a noticeable difference in portion size between the cup and bowl. The chowder itself was excellent--thick, flavorful, and delicious. For our entrées, we selected Clam Strips and Calamari, both as side-dish portions. The food was very good, as were the drinks. Overall, we enjoyed the food, drinks, and beautiful harbor-side patio setting. Unfortunately, the service was only just okay, primarily because of the difficulty we had getting our server's attention after we were ready to order.

Cute nautical decor with quite comfortable chairs. No hostess helping us (a party of eight) at…read morelunch. We were simply told to wait in the middle of the dining room and not shown the bar. OK. Everything else was standard. Something I noticed when our guests were being served chowder in these large mugs. The mugs were filled to the brim with their chowder, but the served had stuck the soup spoons into the mug where the chowder went halfway up the spoon so you had to clean the handle before you could use the spoon. I ordered a fried fish sandwich and this is what I got. Mind you, there was a person preparing this dish, a server who picked it up, placed it on her tray and put it down in front of me and no one noticed that the fish had been burned? Did I send it back? No. I simply didn't eat it. If they cared what I thought, it would't have been served. What a disgrace.

I spent the weekend on Cape Cod in Hyannis Friday to Sunday with my love…read more On Saturday we went to Tap City Grille on Main St. A long street with many great eateries. This place is a foodies dream. We were seated in a corner high top table with a window view to see all the people walking by. Our waitress was Brenna. Her service was impeccable and Brenna left nothing to chance. I asked Brenna about the Mac and cheese on the menu and website as there was a slight difference. She told me I could have the fried chicken along with blue cheese crumbles. Gold star 1. We ordered water with lemon and a couple of Shipyard Pumpkin Ale's to start. A flavor in the wing section caught my attention: Peach Bourbon BBQ. I asked Brenna if we could do those with chicken tenders. She said absolutely. Gold star 2. My love ordered Shrimp Tacos, I had the Mac and cheese with fried chicken and blue cheese crumbles. We were full and had leftovers to take. We also took Carrot cake to enjoy later. We settled our bill and left very happy. If you visit this place and have Brenna as your server you will know you had an outstanding experience.

We had everything from pizza, sandwiches, salads, and entrees. They also have amazing mocktails!!
