Love this place for lunch so went for dinner Thursday night Prime Rib. Two couples, our waitress came and seemed angry. I asked about a beer they had on draft and she said, "I have NO idea!, I don't drink beer!!!" OK. My friend asked about getting the prime rib rare, and she said, " We have 3 cooking", and never answered his question. Our dinners a came and the prime rib was so tough I couldn't eat mine, and the taste was terrible. Our waitress had a bad attitude, just mean. Won't ever go back at night for dinner there.Thank you for your review. I am so sorry that your group had this experience. It is not acceptable to us and has and will continue to be addressed with all our staff. Normally, I would suggest that you let your Server know if your meal is not to your liking so that we may correct it; however, it is obvious that this was not possible this particular night. I am sorry that I was not there at the time.Our primary goal is to have happy/satisfied customers so I hope that you will give us another chance by coming back in for either lunch or dinner. I hope to meet you personally.

Lobster Claw Restaurant

The food was really good. The service was really good too. However they should offer more substitutes for food options. Also, when you order the whole lobster they should make it easier to get the meat out (make more cuts so it breaks easier and able to grab the meat better). It was also overpriced but I think that’s the way seafood is.

If you miss this restaurant you’re missing one of the best treats in the whole town. If you like meet local places this is it. It’s been in business for many years and is busier now than it ever was. Try the fried oysters. Excellent beer menu also

Mahoney's Atlantic Bar & Grill

Chef Ted Mahoney has developed an extensive, eclectic menu to suit the tastes of discerning diners, with an emphasis on fresh, local seafood.

Reviewed By TimOBoston_Mass

September is here and the crowds are off the Cape so it is a great time to eat out. We had a great meal and the service was great. What I also liked was there wasn’t a long wait. The prices could be a couple dollars less however it was worth it. I split a good salad and the warm bread was a treat.

We had an excellent meal with friends here. Our innkeepers recommended it as the best in town and they weren't wrong. I was also impressed by the well thought out wine list that was fairly priced. It's not a big place and they don't take reservations so go early or late (we went late on a Friday and were seated right away).

Rock Harbor Grill

Reviewed By tcandcc2016

We finally made it to this popular stop in Orleans and we weren’t disappointed. Great menu; many very interesting and different choices, on top of a solid list of standard options and wood fired pizza. We tried a cod dinner over risotto and the special surf and turf option: A delicious cod fish cake and a really special chicken sausage grinder with roasted peppers, caramelized onions, and blue cheese. Really, both were exceptional! We will absolutely return but all the stories were right. VERY crowded. Try to get there early and you will have a very enjoyable mid range experience.

Beacon Room

Reviewed By jaseaton

Our group of six friends met at Beacon for dinner ahead of a chamber music festival concert. We'd never been before, but we were delighted. Everything we ordered from the limited menu was wonderful, especially the sole with a light curry sauce and grapes (sensational). Though full,the dining room was quiet enough that we could hear each other with ease. Our waitress was professional and helpful. We'll no doubt come back many times.

Twenty Eight Atlantic

Reviewed By lhs76

Our children back home had contacted the restaurant to arrange a few surprises for our sixty-fifth anniversary, and the consistently friendly and efficient staff outdid themselves to make the evening special. The wine was fine, the flowers that graced the table were dazzling, and they gave us a couple of small gifts, including two macarons that reminded of of our days in Paris. They also found a box for the flowers and offered to carry them to the car after dinner.Oh, yes, lest we forget the ash(!) covered cod was spectacular.Dear lhs76;Thank you for your review and for selecting twenty-eight Atlantic for your sixty-fifth anniversary celebration. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your dining experience and that the staff made your meal extra special. Our sincere appreciation for sharing your thoughts on TripAdvisor and we hope to welcome you back again soon.Best regards,Josette C. WillisDirector of Quality Assurance

Reviewed By E C

The building is a beautiful historic property with very attractive dining areas. It was not our first time here. Our waiter professional with good service. My husband chose the Prix fixe for $40.00–His first course was the Linnell chowder—quite hearty and tasty with a hint of herbs that really made it special. His prime rib was large, tender with a pepper crust and was flavorful. My “scrod” in parchment while quite tasty did not seem to have true Maine crabmeat. It tasted more like Langostino and was orange! Maine crabmeat is not orange! It was also a bit on the salty side. I let it go, but was surprised not to taste and see Maine crabmeat as described in the menu. Our drinks were good but definitely on the expensive side at $13 and $15.!! Clementine cake was good. Overall, a good and mostly satisfying meal but not an “A”.
