Ambiance is stunning. Dine at sunset if you can. Order the painkiller if you like a tropical drink . Such a nice spot. Parking is free for diners and definitely make reservations in advance. Woods Hole is great for walking around before you dine. read more

The food was incredible! I forgot to take a picture of the fish and chips special, but it was really high quality stuff-- the fish was very tender and the "chips" were thick wedges of potato with crisped skin. The bread came pre-buttered and was just the right amount. And the mug of clam chowder came in an actual mug. We also finished with the Summer Berry Cobbler, which was great! The server was top-notch, on top of everything and clearly very familiar with the menu. He was quick, helpful, and effective. The overall ambience was great, too. We came before the dinner rush and got put right by the opened doors along the water and got a hint of a view of the ferry! read more

Not sure about the bad reviews, but we had a great time here! 10/10 for the corny cape cod ocean decor, friendly service. We just had mugs of clam chowder, oysters, little neck clams, and shrimp cocktail. No entrees. It was great and I'll definitely be back. read more

Came here for dinner with my family. Originally wanted to come here for the waterfront dining, but unfortunately the weather was bad on the only day we had left to come here. But luckily the indoor decor is pretty cool with a dark nautical theme. Lots of neat decor hanging around the restaurant. We didn't have a reservation and were able to get seated right away(Thursday night). For drinks, my husband got the landfall lemonade which he loved, I tried it and wished I had gotten it. I got the mai tai and it was a little heavy on the dark rum, but at least it wasn't weak lol. We got delicious garlic bread to start which was included with our entrees. They also came with house salads. I enjoyed the house salad. My husband upgraded his to a Caesar. For my entree, I had the broiled seafood platter. It came with sword fish, shrimp and scallops in a creamy sauce. It was great. The portion was huge and I was stuffed. My husband got the same thing and loved it. You also got to pick a side to go with it which I got mashed potatoes that were really good. I so wanted to get a dessert because they looked really good but like I said we were stuffed. Service here was amazing, all the staff were so nice. We had our kids with us and they were very kid friendly with high chairs, kids menu, and crayons. The staff paid our kids so much attention, which I totally don't expect at all but was very nice of them. One of the waitresses even brought our daughter a little dessert. Would definitely recommend Landfall. Yes, it is pricey, but it is worth it. read more

Beautiful location, right on the water!! They have outdoor seating with beautiful flowers as well as indoor seating and a bar. The lobster roll was delicious but bread could have been buttered more and the fries were definitely a disappointment (too greasy and overcooked). Our service was also great! Would come back if in the area! read more

My boyfriend and I were around the area for the weekend and wanted a date night spot. He found this spot and it was literally perfect! The outside has a fireplace where you can hang out, and the inside is uniquely decorated and has a very intimate vibe. From the beginning, the staff here were extremely friendly and customer service was perfect. Our server was great with recommendations and is great at what he does! We got our drinks, I got a raspberry Mojito which was nice and fruity with bits of fresh raspberries. The fried calamari's were delicious and fresh- a small was enough for the both of us. We each got our own side salads which was refreshing. They also had a garlic bread starter, which was thinly sliced and warm. I love that they used this garlic spread, as it added a lot of flavor and melted onto the warm bread nicely. I got the Savannah lobster which was a full lobster with a cream sauce, cheese, mushroom. I also used the butter and lime to help with the flavoring. It was delicious and there was a good amount of meat! We also got the chocolate lava cake. The cake was super soft and it was a nice end to our meals! Would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

Let me tell you about my most recent visit to the Landfill: This overrated establishment is right next to the docks at "The Oceanographic," so I have had occasion to visit a number of times when embarking & disembarking their oceanographic vessels. I've spent hundreds of dollars and many hours here, and have generally thought it was an ok place. Not any more. Recently, after a day of transcontinental travel, a colleague retrieved me from Falmouth, famished & thirsty, to join a group (the only patrons in the place at the time) who had been there all evening drinking $8 pints. The Landfill's kitchen had closed at 5:30 PM, five hours before. En route there, we stopped and got takeout burritos. While sitting next to the fire on the patio eating & drinking more $8 pints, some power-tripping assistant manager trainee (or maybe it was the owner? I did not do him the courtesy of turning around to make eye contact.) stepped outside, and in his best abusive stepmother tone berated us for doing so. His tone and delivery were over the top. One of our party reminded him that his kitchen had been closed for FIVE HOURS, but he finished with a parting salvo "...I hope you're proud of yourselves." It's a shame he vindictively turned off the propane burner in the firepit shortly thereafter, as I really wanted to burn my burrito packaging when I was finished. Actually, Mr. Assistant Manager Trainee, I am pretty proud of myself. I'm doing oceanographic research for a living while you are overcharging tourists for submarginal food. Captain Kidd's just up the street is a nice place on the water (rather than on a gravel parking lot) with better food and service. I'll be dining there from now on. I suggest the reader do so as well. PS: I deleted Yelp from my devices awhile ago when Yelp decided to become the social grievance police; I reinstalled the app now just to post this bad review. You inspired me, Mr. Assistant Manager Trainee. I hope you're proud of yourself. read more

A delightful lunch spot after ferrying back from Martha's Vineyard. The weather was delightfully gloomy all day and a mug of clam chowder hit the spot perfectly. The side Caesar salad paired so nicely and was a perfect light lunch to fuel me on for more road trip adventures. The restaurant has gorgeous seating and views - highly recommend if you are looking for spot before or after you ferry! read more

Landfall - Mug of clam chowder - Seafood Near Me - Woods Hole, Massachusetts

My husband, son, and I were in the Woodshole area one early afternoon and decided upon the Landfall for an early lunch. It is so much more interesting looking on the inside than from what it appears to be outside. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted at the hostess station and escorted right away to a beautiful table in the back, away from traffic for my 6 month old son and right by the water. It was a beautiful day and the cool breeze from the ocean trickled in on both sides of us while the warm sun kept us feeling warm. We were almost sitting literally on the dock and had open doors and windows for my son to take it all in. The restaurant seemed classic/older with buoys hanging from the ceiling, it made you feel like you were on an old ship. Very cool and A+ for environment. The menu was on brand, boasting many delicious looking seafood dishes. Since it was lunch, I ordered a spinach & kale salad and added salmon and my husband ordered a lobster special. We asked our server to grab us a room temperature water bottle for our son and she quickly grabbed it for us. Our food was ready in no time and after we finished taking our son out to the dock and grabbing some photos, we were ready to eat. The portions were huge, the food was delicious, the service-excellent, and the prices were moderate to high. Parking is not great in this area so plan ahead. I would definitely come back here to dine, in a heartbeat. read more

Nice atmosphere, good service. Schrod was very fresh and tasty. Broiled seafood platter was overcooked, and "seasonal vegetables" were limp and tasteless. Lobster Bisque was presented as a mug and a cup of chopped lobster, so it was definitely lobster, but wasn't very flavorful. read more

I would give negative star if that is an option. The service was extremely slow, we waited for more than 30 minutes to get our appetizers and another 45 minutes to get our main courses. When we asked the waitress, she blamed us for ordering an appetizer which caused the delay. In terms of the food, we ordered a local steamer as an appetizer, it was full of sand. When we give the waitress such feedback, she replied that it is supposed to be sandy because it was fresh off the water. Main courses are so so. Unfortunately, I don't think this place knows how to treat their customers and how to handle food. read more

Average and overpriced. Clam Chowder had decent flavor, very thick and few clams. Lobster Roll had no flavor and lobster meat cut up too small. Onion Rings pretty good. read more

We really enjoyed eating here. The cocktails were wonderful. The clam chowder was the best I've had while on vacation. Everyone really enjoyed their orders. The oysters were fresh and tasty. I had the grilled cheese and loved it. I highly recommend this place. read more

My husband got the sea food platter and was extremely pleased as it was lightly breaded and fried which allowed for the sea food flavors to come through and allowed for a lighter lunch. I got this amazing strawberry and blueberry salad. It was extremely delish, fresh and the portion was huge so I left full. We enjoyed two cold beers and two entrees and spent $50 for lunch. Recently priced, tasty food and if you get lucky with a table by the window you will get a great view too. read more

The view is nice, but the food is just passable. We sat outside so we didn't get the benefit of the water view, but the location was fun and service was fine. It was the food that was underwhelming (more deep fried than lightly fried, underseasoned, with heavy sauces). There must be better options nearby. It was very pricey for what we got - bland, fried food for $37 per entree. Parking was also a pain. They have a lot, but it wasn't well-advertised. Street parking is hard to find. We circled for a while. Definitely pass. read more

The food was meh... I read the other reviews and it made sound like this restaurant was a must, but we were not impressed by the food. I recommend Water Street next door instead - that place is amazing! read more

We went on a family trip to Cape Cod during spring break back in April. The local town is limited on most of the tourist attractions due to the area and shops being closed for the season. This restaurant is quite popular among tourists and locals. We were in the area and stopped by for dinner. I'm really quite puzzled by all the raving reviews! The scenery is gorgeous. No doubt about it! However, the service and food is another story. It is overpriced for the quality that the food is served. None of the seafood that we ordered tasted fresh. Most of the food contained heavy oil or butter. It's a trick to season and cover up the fact that it is indeed frozen, not fresh! It's a such a shame as the area is known for live seafood and fishing. We were seated for a table for 4. We had the following: -Seafood broiled platter: Over-drenched heavily in butter. There were exactly 4 scallops and a few pieces of scrod, clams, and shrimp. The portion was extremely small for the price point. The dish was plain and drab-looking considering that it is supposed to be a somewhat "upscale" restaurant. The food appeared more of a gastro-pub quality. -Calm Chowder: It was ok. Standard chowder. -Fried Calamari: Quality was ok. -Lobster Roll: Be warned. Do not order this from Landfall. Try other famous spots. The few chunks of lobster was not freshly prepared. Hub was extremely disappointed. It taste like it came straight out of a can. Not even exaggerating. The bread was a bit hard too. It was also dabbed heavily in mayo to disguise the poor quality. Kids meal- Mac n cheese: Not the best. It was for our 6 yr. old. Even she didn't find it appetizing. Overall, I wouldn't bother or waste time unless you are coming for the bar or scenery. It is quite deceiving from first glance. Service was slow and not exactly the friendliest. The host on the other hand was great and attentive. She had the table ready in no time. read more

Food is below average. Almost broke a tooth on the big piece of shell in my quahog, watery chowder, yuk! The one star is for the quick service. Not appreciative of the extra $21 added to our check for a beer and a drink we didn't order. Not crazy busy, no excuse for error. Glad we checked We always leave 25% tips. Can only give a 10% tonight - insincere "sorry about that" with the bill error. ALWAYS REVIEW YOUR CHECK!!! read more

Never been here before order the seafood platter it was the best I have ever had it melted in your mouth the French fries didn't look cooked but they were cooked to perfection I live on the. South shore I will come back for lunch many more times also the service was great shout out to John thank you read more

Where to start. We were seated promptly. The ambiance is very nice inside and it is located right next to the MV ferry in the harbor. Good and bad. The bad part is when the ferry leaves, all you smell in the restaurant and diesel fumes. Now the food. I got the baked stuffed lobster. For $51 this was underwhelming. The stuffing was mostly breadcrumbs. The lobster was also on the smaller side for $51. Not worth getting again. My child got mac and cheese which was just the Kraft box Mac and cheese. $10 for box Mac and cheese is ridiculous if you ask me. At least try and max a homemade Mac and cheese, it isn't hard. My wife ordered a lobster roll only to find out they were out! Out of a lobster roll....on the Cape....at a seafood restaurant....in a harbor?!?! Mind boggling. She ended up getting a burger and that was underwhelming also. All in all, a very underwhelming experience. The food was mediocre at best and the prices were high for what you get. Wouldn't rush to go back....overhyped! read more

We were down the Cape looking at a job and I don't know the Cape very well so relied on Yelpers to find a great lunch spot and they didn't let me down. While the reviews had me thinking this was more of a fine dining restaurant (it's not, very Capeish, but cute and great views!) the food and service was incredible! Second day of full capacity and they were busy but they didn't miss a beat and they were fast! We pigged out and enjoyed everything. The lobster bisque was perfect and you get a little cup of lobster to add to it. The lobster roll was not just claw meat, but good lumps of lobster tail and light on the Mayo. And they have smaller desserts so when you're full but still want a little taste you don't feel super guilty. Totally enjoyed lunch and would definitely go back. read more

We are vegan so we had limited options. We ordered the veggie pasta dish and asked to have it modified to not include butter. We loved the sweet potato fries and their veggies over linguine was delicious. We will be back to try their black bean burger tomorrow night. The environment is warm and friendly. The Frozen cocktail I ordered was also delicious. Don't be in a hurry when you come here. They take their time and it's a great reminder to sit and enjoy the ambiance since we are on vacation.

This restaurant is located near the dock right by the ferry station in the cape. It looks small on the outside, but quite roomy on the inside. There's a large bar area and large dinning area as well. We came for lunch and it was quite slow, only a few other people in the restaurant. We were seated immediately and drinks were brought to our table quickly. We both ordered bloody Mary's. It was fine, nothing special. I ordered the lobster casserole which was filled with tons of lobster meat. I also had the sweet potato fries which were good, not too soggy. My buddy ordered the fried seafood trio. It came with shrimp, scallops, and squid. It was ok, also nothing special. The macaroni salad that it came with was a little bit too sour and we didn't touch it. It was overall just an ok meal, which was sort of disappointing because I had been waiting all week for this place to open up for me to try it. Maybe next time it'll better. read more

Food needs serious improvement. I will not return despite its special dockside atmosphere. Locals warned us of the mediocre food, but it was the only Woods Hole place open for a late nite meal. Ordered steamers (a new eng classic) but clams smelled bad & were not fresh nor freshly cooked. Clams should smell like the ocean and sweet. These were clearly rancid and unacceptable. We avoided illness and did not eat. Our server (kind college-aged guy) apologized & took it off tab. Stuffed clam app was over cooked. $32 "special" linguine with clams tasted fine but only had 6 clams with little pasta. A RIP OFF! Place is fine for a drink I guess, but avoid the food. The locals were exactly right. read more

Okay. This place is awesomesauce. The decor is really cool - I love the buoys hanging from the ceiling, and the food was delicious. I ate way too much bread before the meal, but it was SO GOOD. Then I indulged in oysters and shared the clam chowder and Fried Fisherman's Platter with my girls. Everything was cooked perfectly and deliciously, AND our waitress was very sweet, attentive, and considerate. Great ambiance and great food! Oh, P.S. we got cake - it was one of the best slices of cake that I've ever had...and I've had A LOT of cake. It was light, sweet, and like dessert utopia. YES, I really said dessert utopia! read more

Good food, nice staff, a bit pretentious as is to be expected but overall a really nice time. The place is certainly priced for the clientele they want, but the view is very nice if not a bit overrated. I'm from Maui and the price they're charging for the view is twice what most of my favorite spots back home charge for a far better one. I'd go back, but only if there wasn't a better option available at the moment. Good restaurant, worth about 2/3 what they're charging. read more
