Tasting Menus
(for the foodie and adventurist):
- Lune Cape Cod in Dennis Port alternates nights between a tasting menu and a la carte menu. A treat we experience a couple times a year.
- Clean Slate Eatery in West Dennis offers a 6 course tasting menu with ‘surprises!’ One seating nightly at 6:30
- Chatham Bars Inn Farm in Brewster dine outdoors at the farm with a 4 course prix fixe menu. Wednesdays during the summer and sells out quickly. A magical experience!
We're Cape Cod…
We have amazing seafood!
- Cape Sea Grille in Harwich Port. Whether you sit in the main dining room, indoor porch, bar dining area, or right at the bar, be prepared for a great meal.
- Mad Minnow Bar & Kitchen in Harwich Port. Homemade pasta and amazing seafood. The dining room is on the loud side, so we usually sit at the bar.
- The Oyster Company in Dennis Port, if you have your own oyster farm, you couldn’t name your restaurant anything else! Great apps.
Italian
Fusion & Traditional
- Milano’s Italian Kitchen in West Harwich. We are there a couple of times a month and love sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartender and other diners. I always get the special of the day.
Buca’s Tuscan Roadhouse in Harwich is a long-time favorite. Extensive wine list, cozy themed atmosphere, and delicious food. Be prepared to order your entire meal at once.
Leonessa in Yarmouth Port. Yes, we know this is not in our town, but it is worth the trip (17 minutes). Look at the food photos on their website and tell me you don’t want to go…
