So when we walked in, I asked to be seated up there, luckily they seated me and my friend next to a window. We had the most gorgeous view of the ocean while eating. We both had the boiled scallops with Panko Parmesan breadcrumbs, served in a warm sauce. I got the mixed vegetables & my friend got the mash cauliflower. They were both exceptional. Even though the bar was very busy, we still had excellent service. I think I liked eating up at the bar better than being seated in a dining room.

A Night at Lobster Pot: Provincetown's Crown Jewel…read more Our evening at Lobster Pot in Provincetown was nothing short of extraordinary--a culinary experience that has set a new standard for every meal that follows. We began with their lobster ravioli baked with breadcrumbs, and I can say without hesitation that it was the finest version of this dish we've ever encountered. The pasta was delicate yet substantial, the lobster filling impossibly sweet and tender, and that golden breadcrumb crust provided the perfect textural contrast. It was a masterclass in simplicity and execution. For my main course, I ordered their Shellfish Algarve--a stunning composition of shrimp, mussels, littleneck clams, fish, calamari, and pasta, all steamed together in a fragrant broth of olive oil, butter, garlic, bay leaf, and just a whisper of crushed red pepper. Every element sang in perfect harmony. The broth was silky and elegant, each protein cooked to precise doneness, and the sesame and soy notes I detected added an unexpected depth that elevated the entire dish. It was, quite simply, the best dish I've ever had. What sets Lobster Pot apart is an unwavering commitment to quality that extends to every plate that leaves the kitchen. It's now, without question, my favorite seafood restaurant of all time.

Our favorite was the oysters Davenport and we ordered a dozen more of those. I def regret not ordering the fish tacos, because they looked amazing, but I will be back. For drinks we tried the mimosa and frose, and the frose was def the fave.

NOTE: our waiter was inexplicably and somewhat aggressively handsy with me.

I know Provincetown has a big gay culture but just... watch out a little.

We had dinner at Helltown last night for the 4th, and it was our first time there. From the…read morebeginning, the experience was exceptional. A special thank you to Elia, who helped us with our reservation, accommodated a change, and even helped with a gift card. That kind of attention and care set the tone before we even arrived. It made a real difference. The hostess at the front desk was also incredibly kind and helpful, and we appreciated that right away. We were seated upstairs in a beautiful room that felt intimate and special, perfect for celebrating the holiday. The food exceeded our expectations. We started with the crab cakes and watermelon salad, both excellent. I had the chicken, Scott had the lobster, and both were outstanding. What made the night memorable wasn't just the food, though -- it was the hospitality. You can tell when a restaurant has people who genuinely care about the guest experience, and Helltown delivered that in every way. We'll absolutely be back.

I had never had anything like this TNT roll. It was so much food that I couldn't even finish it. My wife had the swordfish special which was cooked perfectly and came with the best homemade mashed potatoes. We ordered a few desserts but I have to say that the key lime pie was my favorite. It is so hard to get really good key lime pie in New England but I'd go here just for it! One of the best places in Ptown.

I also had a glass of white wine, which was good. The bartender was attentive and nice. The interior was cool and cozy. I would definitely return to this place.

EXTREMELY DISTURBING EXPERIENCE WITH THE WAITER!…read more This took place around 9:00 PM on Thursday, June 4. Our group consisted of three couples dining together. At the end of the meal, we asked if the bill could be split into thirds. Our waiter, Martin P., told us that he would not split the check and instead instructed us to write down exactly what each person ordered so that he could charge us separately. Although no other restaurant we visited in Provincetown required us to do this, we followed his instructions and listed our individual items. When Martin returned, he was visibly upset and stated that our payments were approximately $70 short. There was confusion because our group was trying to determine who had already paid, who had not, and whether something had been missed in the calculations. I even asked whether we were expected to calculate individual tax amounts ourselves, as no one knew what tax would be for each separate charge. Rather than calmly helping us resolve the discrepancy, Martin began yelling at our group. At one point he stated, "If I don't get $70, I am going to charge one of the credit cards that I have." This immediately concerned us. We were not refusing to pay. We were actively trying to understand where the discrepancy occurred and make sure the restaurant received the full amount owed. To resolve the issue, one of my friends and I went with Martin into a back room to review the charges. After reviewing everything, my friend agreed to pay the remaining balance immediately. The payment was processed and the bill was fully paid. At that point I was trying to calm the situation and bring it to a close. Instead, Martin became even more agitated and began yelling profanities at us. He shouted, "Get the f*** out of my restaurant! It's people like you why we don't split checks! You all need to get the f*** out now!" Other people started noticing this go down. We were stunned. The bill had been paid. Nobody was attempting to leave without paying. We were simply trying to resolve a billing issue after following the waiter's instructions. As we were leaving, my wife later told me that Martin placed his HAND ON HER BACK and guided her toward the exit. While it was not forceful, it felt unnecessary and added to an already hostile and intimidating experience. What happened next is why I ultimately decided to write this review. A few days later, while walking through Provincetown looking for a place to have lunch, our group passed The Mayflower Food & Drink and noticed Martin working there. When he saw us, he deliberately tapped on the glass to get our attention. After making eye contact, he made a hand gesture across his neck and pointed for us to leave and keep walking. The original incident had already ended. The bill had been paid. Yet days later he still felt the need to single out our group and signal that we were unwelcome. Had this simply been confusion over a split check, I would not be writing this review. Billing mistakes happen. What I cannot overlook is being threatened with unauthorized credit card charges, being screamed at with profanity while attempting to resolve the issue, being ordered out after the bill had been paid, Martin touching my wife, and then encountering the same employee days later making a gesture directed at our group from another restaurant. This experience was troubling enough that I believe others should be aware of it.

The back room hangs out over the water and when it's light outside the views are stunning, but even when it's not the menu is fantastic and diverse enough to make up for the dark windows. I ordered the steak tips, and they gave me several options for sauces. I went with the teriyaki which was fantastic but a friend got the marinade and it was also great. The meat was so tender and flavorful. The table also got some Brussel sprouts to share and they were done to crispy perfection. My friend ordered the salmon with a flavorful crust and it looked so good I had to steal a few bites. Ultimately, not a bad dish at the table. I got the sense you really can't go wrong here. Fanizzi's is quite a walk from town center through the east end, but trust me, you're going to need all the way back to work off the food stupor you will undoubtedly leave in after such a fantastic meal.

Great bar and bartender Jeff was excellent. First trip, we ordered calamari and coconut shrimp apps and some cocktails at the bar. We really enjoyed the shrimp app. Second visit, we made reservations for outside seating on the deck. Good view of the Provincetown harbor and a piano that sits on the beach. The American menu offers seafood and steakhouse options. Soups include French onion and seafood chowders. Our server, Chrissy, was very personable and super friendly. She definitely provided good information on menu for wine and dinner. We went with lobster chowder and coconut shrimp for starters and the pork chops with mashed potatoes for dinner. Chowder was loaded with seafood and flavorful. The pork chop was cooked medium to perfection with an amazing sauce. The mashed potatoes were very good. The meals were very filling so dessert was not ordered. The dessert menu offered full list for all palates including good list of digestifs. Both visits provided excellent experiences. No parking offered at restaurant. Park at P-town parking lots. The restaurant is located on second floor of Whalers' Wharf.
