Cape Sea Grille - United States

So myself and my wife have been here a few times in the past and have enjoyed the place. However that all changed last night, 8/30/24. We knew it would be busy on a Friday night so we took a shot to see if we could get two seats at the bar. We planned on having dinner and drinks there. As luck would have it we were able to get to seats next to a couple and their daughter who were eating dinner. We ordered ourselves drink and my wife asked the bartender for a menu so that we could order food. We wound up speaking with the couple next to us and didn 't rush to order our food, or we were asked to order by the bartender at any point. As he could see us chatting with our new friends. Before my wife finished her glass of wine the bartender told her that we had to leave. We had been sitting there too long and hadn 't ordered anything. She was shocked and pretty upset to say the least. Once I heard that I was livid and told him to cash us out. As we were leaving he seated two women right down. Probably regulars that he as seemed to know them. Get this as well. Right on their website it clearly states, No Reservations at the Bar ...first come first served. I doubt we 'll ever walk back into the place.

The lobster is fantastic. My wife loves the swordfish . We go every year when we are on theCape.

If you want a delicious meal, served by friendly and knowledgeable people, including the bartenders, this is the place for you. Absolutely delicious surf turf meal—scallops and beef short ribs—accompanied by tasty crispy risotto and a cabbage salad with pears and feta cheese. It was superb (and a large helping). The clams on half shells were small but sublime and fresh. The tuna tartare appetizer was special, and enough for 2. I’d eat here every night if I lived in Harwich!

Putting on airs is not enough. When you offer dishes at about 50$ each, they must be perfect, no discussion! I had a breaded veal with mashed potato and sauted vegs with lots of sauce. The meat serving was poor, the veal was hard, the excessive sauce soaked the breaded crust and made it wet. All in all a total disappointment. My wife's lobster, shrimp and scallop accompanied by pasta resulted in a plate of pasta with some lobster parts, two shrimps and two scallops. The pasta was of a very good quality. But it was not cooked in salty water and was saltless and tasteless. The broth was full of pepper and totally unmelted with the pasta. The prices were sincerely too high for the quality of food. A good wine list, again too pricey. All in all, a place where I will never go again and recommend to avoid.

Simply delicious. Had the crispy oysters, grilled salad, and the surf and turf. Each item was absolutely fantastic. We have been traveling across the US and Europe this summer and this was definitely one of our best meals. Great service and Jen, the owner stopped by and chatted with us as well. Her and her husband have created a true winner. Thank you!!
