10. Sundancer's Cape Cod

Except for the fact that the staff are totally delightful, there's nothing to recommend Sundancer's if you're indoors on a summer night: the live music will leave you dead, tv's and Keno screens are everywhere, and the place has a neglected-island aura about it. But the outdoor deck is fine as is the food (albeit, a little inconsistent: for instance one of our swordfish specials were overcooked and the other needed more spice). Or you can do takeout and count your blessings to be quiet at home. Order carefully from the appetizer and sandwich parts of the menu and you can get out for $15 per person, but if you order entrees, the sky's the limit.
9. 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.

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.

One of our favorite places on the Cape. Good food, great drinks & lively bar scene. Plenty of parking, great wait staff but double check your reservation as they see to lose them. Called 2 weeks in advance, spoke to Kristie but no record on arrival. Fortunately a table for 4 became available as we arrived & we were seated on time.

Reviewed By docbruce
From the mostly solid reviews, we expected more from this 10-yr old, modern restaurant on the Dennis shore of Bass River, right behind the marina. The menu is limited, and mostly fried, although they do offer grilled salmon and swordfish, and burgers. Pros: the view is nice, since the building is raised, the waitstaff are friendly and efficient, and the seafood was fresh and tasted fine. Limited seating inside, but sizable covered deck, and also seats with tiny drink tables on the lawn below. Cons: prices are higher than comparable local places, and some protein portions are smaller. The only real deal was the field green salads, which were large and fresh, and reasonably priced at $12. Lunch for 2 with no alcohol was $57 pretax.

Reviewed By EspritD
Ocean House is a beautiful setting, right on Nantucket Sound. Food and service are excellent. I had the tuna taco and a swordfish special. My husband had a salad and the cape cod chip encrusted cod. A couple of glasses of wine. We were here to celebrate my birthday and it was on the reservation. It would have been nice to have a complimentary dessert or just something special to acknowledge the event.

For no real reason, we hadn't been here in 40 years.... and I should have been. Baked stuffed lobster was great. Lobster bisque brilliant. Quantity and quality over the top. Service was terrific. One of the largest and most extensive menus on the Cape.

It was our last dinner in Cape Cod and it was a great evening with our teen. We had the seared striped bass, two ways chicken, fresh oysters, and duck confit and spinach salad. The food was cooked just right and the sauce for the fish was very flavorful. Our son really liked the sour apple in the duck salad. Our host Antonella was great!

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!
