This was the closest restaurant to our hotel, and rated reasonably well. We were a little disappointed as a consequence as not up to our self set expectations.For us, the food was expensive but at least it came with some vegetable! A little overdone, but greenery was very welcome on our road trip so far. We both had the blackened swordfish which in itself was thick and excellent. The setting was canteen style and quite noisy, also a little chilly. The pub next adjoining looked more convivial but eating was in this separate bit.Probably the best local option that said, and seemed popular with locals, but not condusive to us.

Been passing this place for ten years and finally decided to try it. We were not impressed. The menu had a little of everything on it, and we tried a variety of different things. None of them were very good. The interior is dark and dated, and service was very average. There are too many good places around to go here, sorry.Sorry you were not impressed. We always wish for our customers to have a great experience, and most of them do. If you would like to contact me further about what meals you had, I would be happy to discuss any issues that came up. [email protected] Have a good summer!

I called to see if they took reservations since we had a party of 4 and a high chair, I was told they do not take reservations and it is first come first serve. We decided to take a chance and go early around 5 since we had a small child. We entered the dining room and told them our party size and the hostess said we could seat you on the patio. It was quite warm and we did not want o sit our there and since there was only 1 table occupied we asked if we could sit inside and we where quickly told it was for reservations only! What? I told her I called yesterday and was told no reservations were taken. She then changed her story and said they only take up to 6 pm??? What the heck. Not like being lied to I said we would go elsewhere to which they could care less. They did say we could sit outside, We said we would only if in the shade, we looked and there was 1 table available which we took. The only saving grace for the night was that we had the best waitress, Hanna. She was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Once we got settled and talked to her, we did have an enjoyable night. The food was delicious, but be forewarned about their reservation (or lack of it) policy. That left a bad taste, stick to one story.
7. Skipper Chowder House

The Skipper Restaurant & Chowder House is a seasonal restaurant open from mid April to mid October. We serve the finest seafood with the best view since 1936. Winner of the Newport, Boston and Cape Cod chowder festivals.

One of Cape Cod's oldest restaurants, the Skipper was founded in 1936 just off the coast of Nantucket Sound. I suspect that, when initially constructed, unobstructed views of the Sound were available. Currently, Seaside Cottages are between them and the water. However, if you gaze to the Northeast, especially when sitting their second floor deck, yes you can see the ocean. Parking is available in a surface lot across the street. As mentioned above, the restaurant has two floors. The first floor is family dining. The second floor has a bar with inside seating as well as a deck with South facing views. We requested and were provided seating on their outside deck. Even on an off-season week night, the Skipper was busy when we arrived for dinner. We had a 30 minute wait for a table. However, when we were done eating and leaving, we saw that the number of people waiting was near triple what it was when we arrived. This is a testament to their popularity. Our server was very good, friendly, efficient and quick. Their menu definitely focuses on fresh seafood, which is what I love. My other half is a vegetarian but is kind enough to allow me to satisfy my appetite for seafood, especially when it is so fresh. The Skipper's menu has a wonderful array of fresh fish and shellfish. The have a raw bar as well as many appetizer and cooked seafood options. They offer soups and salads, including their Triple Crown Champion Chowder. Of course, they too offer lobster and lobster rolls. If a "land lover" is in your group, they have Chicken Parmesan, Prime Rib and Fried Chicken options. In our case, we had their 10 Knot Nachos (Tortilla chips topped with jalapeño peppers, red onions, black olives, diced ripe tomatoes, scallions and jack cheese. Salsa and sour cream served on the side) and their Fried Oyster platter. The portion size was perfect for both selections. I found the oysters nicely breaded, lightly fried, juicy and flavorful - perfect for my appetite. We liked the food, location and ambiance of the Skipper and would gladly return.

Expecting to be impressed given the reviews we read, we were still blown away by this establishment. We went on a Friday at 6pm, expecting a wait. Our family of four was seated almost immediately. Food was fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. All of our meals were incredible. The best was the seafood casserole...it was the stuff dreams are made of! Shrimp scampi and fried seafood platter were also incredible. Local oysters were a treat as well! Kids received free ice cream tokens, which they gladly redeemed. Overall, a wonderful experience!!

Clancyâs was a very pleasant surprise. My first and only time at Clancyâs was over five years ago for brunch, and my wife and I came away very disappointed, saying âNever again.â Well, âneverâ only lasted five years, and this time I was having dinner with our daughter, Stefanie.I called to make a reservation and was told, âDonât take reservations for small parties. Just come in. Youâll be OKâ. Since was a Tuesday in September, I figured it really would be OK, but when I arrived at 6:20 â a little ahead of Stefanie â I found the restaurant full, with only table tops in the bar available. Then I had another small surprise when a party of two left, and I wanted to be seated at the vacated table by a window overlooking Swan River. Thereâs a small sign behind the receptionist that says, âSeating done only when the full party is presentâ. Fortunately, the receptionist did let me be seated by myself, and Stefanie arrived shortly afterwards.Stefanie and I got our drinks, a Bombay Gin & Tonic for her and a glass of Frei Brothers Russian River Chardonnay for me, and we settled in to catch up on things, with no rush to order dinner.Another surprise was the extensive menu that includes Regular Menu, Dinner Specials, and a Three Course Menu that is served only on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Being there on a Tuesday, the Three Course Menu was available, and it has six entrees all costing just $20. This was very tempting, especially looking at the Pork Schnitzel (Pork loin pounded, breaded and fried topped with bacon herb butter ~ with mashed potato and vegetable medley) and Seafood Mac and Cheese (Scallop, salmon and one jumbo shrimp, penne blended with four cheese sauce ~ topped with Ritz cracker crumbs).We both passed on the tempting Three Course Menu and went a laâ carte.For dinner, Stefani ordered a small Caesar Salad (Crisp romaine, garlic butter croutons, Caesar dressing and parmesan cheese) with the Grilled Salmon as a topping, and before I go any further, let me say that it was a very good-sized portion of grilled Salmon filet, thus making this small salad a substantial entrée (for me). There was no leftover on Stefanieâs plate when we finished.I ordered the Grilled Reuben (Fresh corned beef, sauerkraut, Russian dressing and swiss cheese on marble rye), which came with the prerequisite French fries. I always enjoy a good Reuben, and this one was no exception, but like almost every dinner out, I took half of it home, and it is dinner tonight.As I said up front, âClancyâs was a very pleasant surpriseâ and it is definitely going to get another visit in the near future.

We were looking for a simpler place for dinner after eating at more expensive restaurants on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. So an Irish restaurant sounded great. When we got there, we realized there was live music - local people that gathered to play Irish tunes. There were about 20 people playing and I wished I could have joined it. The music was a great addition to the great food. Lots of good choices for all type of eaters.

Went here with friends that we hadn't seen for years. Had a great time catching up in a nice environment. Excellent conversation accompanied with excellent food. I'm always skeptical of a restaurant that offers a wide variety of foods and their ability to do it at an excellent level. Fear not for Jason's did a fantastic job with everything we ordered. I had Uncle Tony's platter, consisting of veal and chicken parmigiana a colossal meatball and pasta of choice. It was as good as any I've had in an Italian restaurant. The fish and chips and clams came with onion rings and french fries and were excellent. The steak tips delicious and as good as any steak house offering. Oh and I can't forget about the potato skins and mozzarella sticks. Four stars all around. Try it today!Thank you. Chef Eccles
