We can back up their opinion as a place well worth patronizing. There is a bustling and lively atmosphere in an informal and very pleasant space. The room was packed with different types of people enjoying their meals. Three of us had cocktails- the fourth does not drink. The order included a cucumber lemonade, two Honey Bear Toddys, (just right for the cold weather), and a nonalcoholic beer. We also had glasses of house red (a Malbec) and a Sauvion Blanc. We shared two appetizers: mussels and cheesy garlic bread, both of which were excellent. The main courses were a Cod Florentine (nicely cooked but a little bland for me but enjoyed by our daughter), a good Sausage Orecchiette for-me which I could only eat half of it, an excellent grilled salmon and an equally good shepherd's pie. I also ordered a side of fries which was overkill. And no one had any room for dessert. Our server was attentive and efficient. The check came to $232 not including the service charge. It is over the four stars that I gave and just under a five star rating. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who lives or visits the area.

Most of their menus are boring and haven't changed in years. That's why, it was so refreshing to find Ocean 193. Since it opened in 2019, I've been dozens of times (and brought friends and family) and each time was rewarded with delicious food, beautifully plated, and friendly, helpful, and responsive service. Prices are competitive. On top of that, the view is one of the best in town and the owner, Frank, puts everything he has into making your dining experience top notch. I can't recommend Ocean 193 highly enough. You won't be disappointed!

Even pulling into Commercial St to start our mini vacay on a Thursday afternoon, we'd seen folks lining up in droves for this place.That kind of buzz had us saving Heaven in the back of our minds for breakfast and thought it must be worth the wait. Cafe H. has a clouds and sky ceiling mural which added a nice nod to their name. Our server was friendly. Unfortunately, the food fell flat. My husband's French toast was thin and tasted mostly eggy and my Benedict had tiny lobster pieces (and no hollandaise, by choice). Even my grapefruit-jalapeño morning margarita couldn't save the morning. While the manager(?), owner(?) isn't pushing you out, she does circle around to see how far folks are in their meals. It was clear: this is the kind of place in a tourist-heavy strip churning out dishes quickly so you can eat, clear out and make room for the next round of customers.

It might even be our new favorite. My family ordered the deviled eggs, which I got to try and I ordered a cheeseburger with french fries. I had never heard of a restaurant using shredded cheese on a burger so that was a unique experience. It was still good though. I asked for my burger cooked rare and they did just that. The meat was seasoned pretty well and the french fries hit the spot. I ordered two diet cokes that went down FAST and really washed everything down. I was happy with the service and I love that it's an LGBTQ+ owned business. The history of the restaurant is really sweet and I've heard that the owners of the restaurant will even come out to say hi to you if you ask to meet them. Overall it was a great dining experience and I would love to try more items on the menu in the future.

All the sandwiches came w chips except the burger was served with good fries. For dessert we shared the praline sundae and peach and blackberry cobbler. Both were incredible. Service was attentive and warm! Eli was our server and deserves all 5 stars as do the bussers who kept our waters filled and table clean

It's always on our list of recommended dine-in spots when friends/family visit Provincetown. We got TAKEOUT for the first time tonight and were impressed enough to write a review. We're in town for Holly Folly (Christmas/holiday weekend) and have a 9mo old. We knew we'd be doing takeout for dinner. One of our other favorite spots in town wouldn't do a takeout order (too busy). We were hesitant to get something from Canteen because they had been slammed all day with a crowd from their outdoor holiday market (also highly recommended), but took a chance. Two orders of fish and chips. Staff (probably exhausted from the busy day) were so kind and friendly. The order came out fast. Really good quality. Big portions (see photo) incl French fries, coleslaw, tartar sauce. We're glad our initial idea didn't work out and we had a great takeout dinner from Canteen! Thanks so much!

I found the lobster salad more bland than I was expecting. If I decide to get lobster again, I'll probably try Box Lunch or another spot, but I'd return here for the fish and chips. Service was friendly. You're expected to bus your table.

They go all out with the decorations at Christmas!

I don't think a queer o meter is needed but since I do it in every review here we are. Drag brunch = 10,000 queer o meter score Go be free my friend. PO IMO is a simple, great place.

We got over easy on tots and an order of avocado toast with egg, that they let me customize a smidgen. Along with that one of us got coffee and there were 3 boozy beverages. Mine was the Bloody Mary. Another solid hit. Ptown usually kills it with the bloody Mary's! Thank gawd. Bill without tip was about $75. Which I consider very fair for 2 with drinks. The brunch show costs extra and you should order way ahead, it books up. I've been coming to the PO cafe since I was a wee butch and it never disappoints. Thank you PO for being a constant! Cheers!!

Upon entering, the brewery's large space offers plenty of seating both inside and outside. We chose to sit at the picnic tables outside. It was an active and lively place; while we were enjoying our drinks, someone approached our table to invite us to participate in a card game, which we politely declined. I sampled the Pale Ale and the lager, preferring the Pale Ale, which is my usual choice along with hazy beers. The beer was good, and the overall experience was different but enjoyable. The brewery's location outside the busy part of town adds to its charm.
