It's been a month since we were on the Cape. Unable to get reservations last year, I plotted ahead…read morethis year. This is a really appealing, intimate, mom and pop (and summer help waitress) place. The hostess/ front of house boss, who was operating from the bar of this 10-12 table location, was gracious and endearing (in the way that an almost overbearing host can be- that meant as a compliment). The drinks took a minute, my fiancé's salad needed blue cheese brought out as it was left off (single most off-putting thing: the waitress, I suspect language mastery being the cause of this rather than malice or willful deceit, flat out told her that blue cheese did not come with the wedge salad...but when boss lady at the bar was asked, this was quickly corrected), there was a heavy does of reggae music. All of this less than optimal. The food was very good, though I can't remember off the top of my head what I had (it's been a month). Nor did I take pics: it seemed like it'd detract from the experience. There weren't any complaints about the food from others. (So I went back and looked at the menu: potstickers as an app- pretty good; baked local seafood as the main- good, but it is what it is in that not a ton of nuance added so as to let the seafood do the talking. The portion was decent for the price. I didn't leave stuffed, but for $38, very reasonable.) All in all, the first visit merits a second visit next year (as the website says they are temporarily closed to seek new management).

We found the burger to be over done and not medium. The pear flatbread was the best thing we ordered. Cape cod salad was actually very good too. I can't speak to the actual restaurant because we ordered to go. Perhaps that's why the food wasn't as great as I read about. We will try again next summer when we return.

The service is grade A and the hostess always seats you in the best seat in the house. The clam chowder was superbly creamy and the added crackers gave a nice crunch along with a strong clam flavor. We also embraced the Irish theme with the Reuben egg rolls and the sandwich. The sauce that came with the egg rolls worked perfectly with both dishes and the egg rolls were packed with juicy corned beef. The sandwich featured big chunks of meat and the marbled bread was impressive just for its appearance. Overall, it was a memorable night at O'Shea's.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating--my mom needs to be gluten free, and not only did the staff work to get her a meal that made her happy, it was clearly labeled in our takeout order.

Thankfully they let you order drinks at the bar and walk around the area until your table is ready. The drinks here were pretty good and reasonably priced. Once our table was ready (at exactly an hour) we ordered clam strip and scallop platter, clam chowder, and the tuna nachos. The tuna nachos were incredible and I loved the ginger sauce on them. The fish tasted very fresh. Clam chowder was good but nothing out of the ordinary. The clam strips and scallops were great too. Service isn't very friendly it's more them trying to get people in and out as fast as possible. I typically don't visit this area of the Cape that much so I probably wouldn't come all the way back to eat here, but if you're in the area I recommend this spot.

The portions were very generous and we both left full with food to spare. We started with the onion rings, which came out as a big basket super crispy, well-seasoned, and not greasy at all. 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.
