Cape Cod is a popular tourism area in Massachusetts during the months between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Seafood is a specialty in many of the Cape Cod restaurants, as with most oceanside towns and villages. There are many dining options to chose from, whether it's fine dining in one of the Cape's premier resorts or a small, family-owned restaurant on the street side. Pick your price range and make your choice, you are sure to be satisfied no matter what you pick.
Fine Dining
The 28 Atlantic, also mentioned on Mahalo's Cape Cod Hotel page, is situated in the Wequassett Resort & Golf Club. It's been called "one of the top places to eat on Cape Cod." The menu consists of a "New American"-style cuisine and the food is "spectacular." The "professional and stylish" service is just as great as the food and the "elegant" dining room has been compared to one of "Manhattan's finest." Reservations are not required, but are recommended and can be made on the hotel's website.
Affordable Dining
There are a few well-rated, budget eateries in the Cape area; the restaurant at the Red Pheasant Inn is one. They serve brunch on Sunday's, a dinner menu every day and a bistro menu Sunday through Friday. There is a great collection of wines and beers. They are open year round and provide patrons the warmth of a fireplace in the cold winter months. In the warmer months, make sure to have a seat in the Garden Room and enjoy the view of the beautiful garden right outside.
