    Want crusted cod with a squash puree and cranberry coulis
    Gabrielle M.

    Top to bottom excellence. I'm surprised and delighted by a perfect evening, ambiance, server, and the food! My dining companion is Gluten free and even she could eat almost the entire menu. Steak frites, perfect prepared tempura dilly beans with homemade ranch almost made my head spin off they were so good (but sounded odd, ordered anyway). Beet salad was just right, we had beautiful old fashioned, even the ice was perfect w a strip of orange peel peeking out. Seriously, people. This is a not-to-be-missed spot! I had been for coffee and pastry and had no idea what a dinner gem it was!!

    Cozy counter-service cafe with a small menu of both food and drinks, as well as limited indoor and outdoor seating In terms of breakfast foods all they really have are baked goods and breakfast sandwiches, but they have a bunch of options for customizing your breakfast sandwich (different breads, meats, etc) My GF and I both ordered vanilla lattes (mine hot & her's iced) as well a breakfast sandwiches on biscuits -My latte was pretty sub-par, but hers wasn't too bad -Both of us really enjoyed our breakfast sandwiches, but the biscuit was pretty crumbly 7.5

    First timer here at the Bistro. Apparently, it's the only breakfast place around the Yarmouth area. Incredible baked goods and brunch on Sunday. I had the bacon/apple/cheddar omelette and the side of mini baked potato was incredible but the omelette was a bit on the dry side...more cheese or a sauce may have helped. Their bread is homemade and together with the homemade jams made for another great side. And, they have homemade sourdough bagels! The server was fantastic and made sure to offer gluten free choices. The ambiance is a casual rustic farm setting which is very quaint. And, don't miss the hot latte!

    Cute items to see

    There was outside seating with a fire pit. Delicious breakfast sandwich! There were 2 choices English muffin or biscuit. Mine was with a biscuit and added beacon. The breakfast potatoes were just right seasoning. Very busy place and friendly sevice.

The service was great. Very attentive and efficient. The food was as great. My party had a variety of items, from the beet & goat cheese salad, deviled eggs, pancetta and Brussels sprouts, cheeseburger, and BLT with Lobster. Everything was high quality and delicious. The fries which came on the side of the burgers and sandwiches were also excellent. The restaurant has a nice outdoor space but the weather was a little rainy the day we went so we didn't sit outside. I do suggest they add more barriers and greenery/plants to separate the beautiful outdoor seating space from the parking lot across the way.

We shared the street fries to start (YUM) and I opted for the French onion soup as my starter. We then each had a fish dish, the haddock almondine and stuffed salmon, and we ate in silence because that's how delish they both were. Finally we had the chocolate lava cake which was just okay, but that's fine because we were so full from the rest of our meal! The staff is incredibly friendly, and though the space is small it wasn't too loud or cramped. And the igloos outside looked so cool - would definitely be worth visiting on a snowy day!

    If you're anywhere near Yarmouth and even slightly hungry, make the reservation at Royal River…read moreGrill House. It's one of those places that never misses. Let's start with the cocktails, because they truly deserve top billing. I always order the seasonal espresso martini, and somehow it just keeps getting better. This time it was tiramisu-inspired, and it was unreal. Rich, balanced, not overly sweet, and actually tasted like the dessert without feeling heavy. Whoever is behind that bar knows exactly what they're doing. The fish and chips? You cannot go wrong. Perfectly crisp batter, flaky fish, and fries that hold their own. It's one of those dishes you order once and then find yourself thinking about days later. That said, everything we've tried over multiple visits has been consistently excellent. It's the kind of menu where you feel safe branching out because you know it's going to deliver. The space itself adds to the whole experience. The architecture is beautiful, with warm wood tones and big windows that bring in natural light and make the river views part of the meal. It manages to feel polished and special without being stuffy. You can dress up a little or come in relaxed and still feel right at home. And the service is always attentive in that effortless way. Our servers have consistently been knowledgeable, present, and genuinely welcoming without hovering. It makes the whole night feel easy.

It was about 11:30 and the place was getting busy. By the time we left there was a short line out the door waiting to be seated and the parking lot was full. My fish sandwich and fries were fresh and tasty. My husband's chicken salad wrap and fries were equally good. Great views of the marina, comfortable tables, very good service. We will definitely be back.

Specializing in barbecue , a giant smoker sits next to the patio.. and we watched the chef split the wood to feed into the smoker. Though the selections are varied , the impressive barbecue menu includes brisket, pulled pork and a range of unique sauces for dipping. Also on the menu is a barbecued brisket burger served with a magical dressing, greens and tomato on a nifty soft bun. The wide selection of other entree options includes assorted tacos-- full to the brim with fish, or brisket -- served on homemade tortillas. And the generous salads with their dill ranch dressing are outstanding. Cocktails are excellent.. service is prompt, and cheerful, and prices are very fair.. We felt so welcome and can't wait to return.

Almost everything was incredibly sweet. The BBQ sauce tasted like straight liquid candy, and even the slaw was sweet. After a few bites the whole meal just felt kind of cloying. The prices also didn't match what you actually get. Around $30 for a brisket plate and it was basically four strips of brisket. Portions felt really small for the cost. On top of that, sauces cost extra, which felt a little ridiculous given the price point. Another thing that stood out: the "chips" were literally just Tostitos out of a bag. Not even house-made tortilla chips. For a place trying to have this unique, elevated vibe, that felt pretty lazy. I ordered a brisket burrito and it came out open-faced instead of wrapped like a burrito, which was confusing and messy to eat. Service itself was fine -- nothing bad to say there -- but the overall vibe of the place was kind of strange. It felt very "aggressively millennial," like it was trying really hard to be quirky and different instead of just focusing on making good food. Overall it just wasn't a great experience. Overly sweet food, small portions for the price, and a concept that feels like it's trying too hard. Mac and cheese was awful. Like straight up terrible. Like cracking an entire grinder worth of black pepper into it. The owner then insults me and is sarcastic without actually doing anything about my criticisms
