    Bread basket & bean dip
    Alex K.

    Nice ambiance. Very friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Easy parking. Huge portions. Food was just tasteless. Nothing had any flavor.

    Pineapple margarita

    I have been a summer Chatham resident a long time. Only went to the former Pate's a few times. Trapped in the mid 20th century. Friends last summer said go; it is vibrant and changed. I went solo the other night to see. Wow! Such a pretty place now. Great modern bar. I was hungry for oysters, so did not sample the true chef cooking. But as a chatter, I learned from bar neighbors that steaks and white bolognese were A plus. Great pineapple spicy margarita. Excellent bartenders. Love this updated cool place.

    Complimentary birthday dessert

    We've been coming to Pates for years (and were so happy when Anthony Silvestri took it over). We always enjoy our meals here. The service and food are consistently good. It is pricey, but great for a special occasion. I went for my birthday and they brought out a very delicious little birthday treat - I really appreciated this gesture. Our favorite dishes include the seafood pan roast (to die for), tuna cones, and the fig and prosciutto thin crust pizza

    Koean Korean Fried Broccoli

    Although we visited Pate's on Thanksgiving, we didn't order the turkey dinner (which was lovely, but we're pescatarian). I started with the Korean Fried Broccoli ... it was FANTASTIC! If I get back to Pate's for another meal, I'll get TWO orders of that. The salmon was excellent too. Nicely roasted. And the cheesy grits were phenomenal.

    My dessert

    Another delicious meal here! I started out with my usual chop salad with cilantro vinaigrette which was amazing! For entrées we ordered the gnocchi in Brown butter and the mushroom flatbread with truffle oil. They were both amazing! The pizza was so cheesy and delicious with a savory truffle oil glaze. The gnocchi was light and buttery with a delicious crispy sage accompaniment. For dessert we got the pear crumble which was ooey gooey and delicious. Our waiter was terrific and very attentive. Great job to all!

    Wedge salad

    Pate's in Chatham is always good. The bread basket was served with white bean puree and it was all very good. We enjoyed beet carpaccio salad, iceberg wedge salad, salmon with miso & garlic, raw tuna 'cones' with wasabi cream, and Korean fried broccoli. The desserts were creme brûlée and banana cream in a jar with toasted coconut. Everything was very good. We dined at the bar where the atmosphere was festive. The bar was full, 29 seats, and there were 3 bartenders and 1 bar back. Service was slow and inattentive. The bar staff all seemed nice but not focused on customer service or details. The restaurant was packed with what looked like happy clientele.

    This was the Blood Orange Butter Lettuce Salad from specials menu $16 it was really good!

    Service has gone significantly downhill. Food quality is not as it once was, yet the prices have increased significantly.

    Food was absolutely decadent! Waitress Shannon was attentive, and friendly and the crème brûlée was a perfect ending to a fabulous meal!

We sit at the bar and after 5 minutes or so, we place our drink order. So far so good. We then place our app order. Stuffed quahog and the Portugese Littlenecks. Nothing too ground breaking here. Littlenecks cook in about 6 minutes and I am sure the quahog is ready to be popped in the oven on the prep line. 45 minutes later, no apps. Bartender is back in the kitchen 3 times. Still no apps. We get to talking to a local resident next to us who ordered a salad with salmon, and she says that this was her second try at the restaurant as well and no realizes why she never came back. Her salad took about an hour. For a salad... Ok, so now we place dinner. Well we should have just paid at that point and gone to the Squire for a burger cause now we wait another hour for our dinners. Which when they come out are ice cold. Mind you we had baked cod and a pasta dish. Neither of those should take more than 20 minutes to prep. We have now been in this place over 2 hours and didn't get to eat a dinner. What a huge disappointment. Sad thing is this place can get away with bad service because they are attached to an inn in downtown. So people will never stop eating there. But hopefully with a few more bad reviews, they will figure something out or close.

    This restaurant is a Chatham staple! I always stop in for lunch when I'm walking down Main Street…read more It has that quintessential Cape Cod feel, warm, welcoming, and filled with sailing memorabilia and nautical decor. I also love that there's both a full dining room and a separate bar area, so whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down with family, it fits the occasion. It's a popular spot, and you'll usually see plenty of families and larger groups enjoying a meal. The menu is full of fresh seafood and New England favorites. The clam chowder is a great way to start, and I always order the hot lobster roll. Great food, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere.

We started on the bar side, which was extremely busy and we couldn't find a seat for about 30 minutes. The only downside is that seating is first come, first serve, so you end up hovering around tables waiting for people to leave, which wasn't ideal. We eventually got frustrated and went next door. Even though they're separate, the bar and restaurant are connected, so you can easily walk between the two. We ended up having an amazing meal at the restaurant side, so it was definitely worth switching over. I highly recommend the lobster roll. I'm giving 4 stars mainly because of the experience on the bar side.
