I only wish they had six stars. My only complaints are to bring back certain food on the past menus. Please don't go here because you'll take my precious experience away from me! read more

Hello, we enjoyed a great lunch here. Ordered from the dinner menu, my scallops were perfectly cooked, the bolognese was spot on. Waitstaff were all very pleasant and accommodating, especially Mary. A very pleasant atmosphere! Highly recommend read more

Scargo Cafe - American Near Me - Dennis, Massachusetts

This establishment has a pleasant atmosphere, although parking is limited. The staff is courteous and friendly. However, the prices are somewhat high for the quality provided. Overall, it was an average experience. read more

Had 7PM reservation got seated right on time. Wait staff was slow to the acknowledge our table but eventually made his way. We ordered some wine and an appetizer a Caesar salad and we requested tomatoes and balsamic vinegar on the side. Salad was undressed and basically just romaine lettuce with cheese on it. Ordered our meals while we were eating our salad assuming the food would be spaced out properly, it was not. The entrées came while we were just eating our salad. I ordered the seafood strudel and my wife ordered pasta prima Vera with chicken. My meal came with mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes. Rather than critiquing everything I will just say the meal was equal to the 99 Restaurant quality. Overall though everyone was friendly and courteous it is very average at best and adding up all of the other things that went wrong I think I was very fair giving a rating of 3. The Old Yarmouth Inn is a giant step up from Scargo and I believe they are in the same category of restaurants, not Top Tier but next tier down. Probably will not go back. read more

Super nice place service by Greta was great. Friendly young lady. I got the chicken saltimbocca with celery root mashed potato, so delicious and plentiful that I have enough for leftovers! My husband got the lamb chops which he also thoroughly enjoyed. Service was nice although we lost our waitress, which I'm guessing was because her shift was over. Another waiter seamlessly picked up where she left off. We will be back!! read more

This location has a full restaurant with outdoor seating and a separate bar section so you can sit back and relax or have dinner. Try to get a table in the restaurant side outside on a warm day, you won't be disappointed. This restaurant has a full menu and complete bar selection. The staff is very courteous and attentive and food and drinks are served quickly. The overall quality of the meal and drinks are high grade. Parking can be a little challenging but the business next-door allows you to park in their lot. Because of its location (Route 6A Dennis) and menu quality and choices, the restaurant is on a expensive side, however as usual you get what you pay for. read more

We had our rehearsal luncheon for my son's wedding here on September 12th and are so glad we did. The food and service were excellent. They were able to accommodate all thirty of us in a separate area Kelsi was very helpful in planning our event. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The cutest little restaurant! Went there to celebrate my mother's birthday and got the spinach and artichoke dip that was so so good and even better when dipped with the bread. Unfortunately we filled up on that and only had a couple bites of our main dish but so worth it. We shared the scallops and the short rib and they were so so good. Especially love the mashed potatoes had a type of ham in it. Will definitely be coming back. read more

We have come to this area the Cape for many years but somehow have never made it to Scargo Cafe. We did this time on our first night. It was so good we will be returning a second time before our one week stay ends. Our server, Alison, was excellent. Pleasant, courteous and explained the menu items well. The grilled swordfish I had was probably the best I have had in years. My wife loved her halibut. I can't believe we've missed going to this restaurant for so long. See you soon! read more

Lunch was fantastic. Meatloaf special....no need to wash the dish when I finished. Grapenut custard is just over the top delicious.

We have eaten at Scargo numerous times but last night's meal wasn't their best offering. They weren't busy but food was so disappointing: salmon was bland, scallops were missing the rice described on menu and pork shop was small.Server was nice and efficient but the kitchen let her down. Too expensive to have a disappointing outcome. read more

Pretty disappointed. My wife and I stay in Dennis quite a bit. Never been there. Decided to go and sit at the bar to get a drink and an appetizer. We were told to add our name on the wait list for the bar, which we did. Then we were told we could sit in the chairs in the reception area and they would call our name. After at least a half hour, I went and checked the list and our name was crossed off. Total waste of time. read more

Excellent service and charming inn. Close to Cape Playhouse. Dinner items varied with a few specials. Outside dining ok.

WE had the Scallops; Roasted Cod and the Mongolian Pork. All dishes were terrific. For desert we had raspberry sorbet, grape nut custard and hot fudge sundae. All deserts were good. The service was excellent and the ambiance very pleasant read more

Beautiful and quaint establishment. The food was fantastic and service exceptional. We have now been for dinner and lunch. Both times we have been very pleased. Prices are high, but the food quality so far has been worth the price tag. read more

The food was great. I had a roasted cod dish on top of a summer ratatouille. Different, but delicious. And the portion size was just right. The place was clean and the interior was nice. Lastly, the service was excellent and quite friendly. Def a fan. read more

The food was delicious and perfectly prepared. Our waitress was a delight and very informative. We tried things we normally wouldn't have but our waitress had told us they were delicious so we tried them and we will do it again! This was definitely worth every penny!! The restaurant was a perfect place to meet and visit with our friends everything was clean and beautiful. read more

My daughter ordered rack of lamb and I ordered grilled sword fish. Each rib of the lamb did not have much meat, had more fat. The sword fish was over cooked and was dry. I have been to the restaurant several times and all was much better. The service and ambiance were very good. read more

My hat goes off to the care and attention Scargo gives to their customers! The hostess was wonderful and understanding that we needed a quiet area to be able to hear one another. Gus, our waiter, could not have been more kind and attentive to us. We are 3 women over 80 (1 almost 90) who haven't seen each other in 2 yrs and Scargo staff just made our day even more special. The food was also as good as always! Thank you for being so kind, M. read more

Friendly staff members and cozy cape vibe. We got a a cup of seafood stew, grilled beet salad with candied walnuts, and a corn beef sandwich. Seafood stew was a bit salty to my taste, but the grilled beet salad was very very yummy. read more

This was our first time visiting Scargo Cafe. Ambiance was great and the staff was super friendly. Food was good and we will definitely come back. Meals we had: Short Ribs - tender and delicious Steak Frites - two of us got this meal, one medium and one medium rare. We found them to be pretty tough and honestly a little small for the price. Probably wouldn't get again. Fries were good. Lobster Florentine - really delicious, plenty of lobster Scampi Flatbread (not pictured) - pretty good, very filling Overall we would definitely recommend Scargo Cafe! read more

First time at Scargo with friends for a dinner out. We were greeted and seated immediately upon entering the restaurant. Drink and food menu are all in one two sided sheet making it easy to choose your selections. Server greeted us quickly and took our drink orders. Place was busy so it did take some time for the drinks to appear. By the time they we were ready to place or order. Seafood chowder and French onion soup were ordered as starters. Seafood chowder was creamy and had plenty of seafood in it. The French onion soup was covered in cheese with a large crouton and plenty of onions. The broth however could have used with a much deeper beef flavor. Entrees we're Mongolian pork chop, short ribs, chicken piccata, and their evening special. Dick ala orange.. All of the entries arrived looking spectacular. The duck was perfectly cooked, medium rare accompanied by polenta. The short ribs are covered in a wonderful beef gravy and were tender and fall off the bone tender. The pork chop was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy with a good serving of potatoes. The piccata had tender juicy cuts of chicken, mushrooms and a good amount of garlic. Warn bread and butter was also included with the meal. All entrees had generous portions and were delicious. Dessert menu offered a few items but nothing really exciting. Our server was pleasant and helpful but not what I'd call very attentive. Restaurant is very noisy so having conversations is a little difficult. All in all it was a good experience and we would go back again. read more

TIP: 1. Call ahead or make online reservation if you have a large party. 2. If the reservation is late, do walk-in. You'd have higher chances of less than an hour wait for a table. WHEN: Sunday @ 6pm It's one of my family's favorite restaurants at the cape. They've always had incredible dining experience. We called ahead to make a reservation only to find the earlier reservation is at 8:45pm, scargos reserve 50% of the restaurant for walk-ins. We took our chances to do walk-in around 6:15pm. It was the perfect timing, the wait was only 30min. My party of 5 waited at the bar area. There was couches, chairs and tables open. We ordered a few drinks for start with. The drinks are smaller size glasses which is perfect for me bc I have low alcohol tolerance. We were probably seated around 7pm. Our table was towards the front of the restaurant at the corner area where it's more private and you get a view of route 6A. It was perfect indoor seating area for us. SERVICE excellent! Servers are attentive to our needs, always came to check in on us. They provided water pitcher refills. THE ORDER Swordfish w parm risotto Flounder w spinach and risotto Fried scallops w Steak frites Lobster Florentine BAR DRINKS Cucumber cooler Raspberry refresher Wine Beer Absolutely divine and delicious food. Fresh, high quality seafood, overall another excellent experience at Scargos. The seafood was so tender it was cooked perfectly to my family's liking. Highly recommend for an intimate family dining at the cape. read more

Three of us visited Scargo Cafe on a Thursday night. Crowded but everything moved along well. We got our table promptly, the waitress was attentive but not bothersome, our food was terrific. The French Onion Soup was to die for; the Calamari done the only good way (RI style), and the salad was terrific. The desert menu is quite limited. Highly recommended. read more

We had a Mothers day get together at Scargo today. in my opinion it is an overpriced, over rated restaurant . Although the only thing that appealed to ME on the menu was the $21 hamburg which wasn't as good as Burger King. My wife's $27 entree was terrible and all she ate was the dry chicken slices with balsamic; the orange vegetable whatever it was was ice cold, and the stuff that looked like rice was terrible. Noone at our table was thrilled with what they had, even though the tab was about $300. for the 7 of us. Never again! Sam read more

The weather was grey, but you'll feel sunny after eating here. I recommend making reservations even in winter on the Cape. It can be busy. We were seated near the beautiful wood burning fireplace in the bar. The bar has both high tops and tables but it is cozy. The service is friendly and well informed. My husband and I had the most delicious meals. He had salmon in a crisp spring roll with broccolini and potato crisp and a cream sauce. I had chicken carbonara over mashed potatoes. (I requested the mashed potatoes instead of pasta and it was no problem.) This dish was so yummy. The chicken was tender, with plenty of creamy sauce and bacon. (My only note is that if you are on a salt restricted diet this might not be for you.) I had prosecco and my husband a Bloody Mary. The Bloody Mary is not spicy, which he liked. We have eaten at Scargo many times and this restaurant does not disappoint. read more

Food was so good. Bread was top 1%. Service staff was great. Highly recommend for anyone in or visiting Dennis

This restaurant is consistently excellent. We have gone there the last 3 years on our visit to Cape Cod. Each and every time, the food was great, and the service was outstanding. It is a nice and peaceful atmosphere. Can't wait until my visit next year. read more

What an incredible and unique restaurant this is! Last night there were eight people in our party, celebrating my mother's birthday. It boasts a very impressive selection of wines and specialty cocktails. Note: in addition to indoor seating, there are heated "greenhouses" that look like they offer a more "private" dining experience for smaller parties. Sean was our server. He was truly outstanding. His recommendations were very well thought out. He asked where we were from (whether or not we lived "on Cape") before recommending one dish over another. For example, when I was having trouble deciding between the scallop special and something else, he recommended the scallops since I don't live in New England. My husband decided to order two orders of the chicken wings (they are boneless) and two orders of the spinach and artichoke dip for all of us to share. The spinach and artichoke dip was served piping hot. It was so good. I highly recommend it. The chips that accompany the dip had just the right amount of crunch, too. The chicken wings were a bit on the medium hot side, served with celery and blue cheese dressing. The dressing was so delicious... I embarrassed myself by continuing to ingest it after the wings were devoured. My mother dined on the filet mignon, while my sister chose the short ribs. Others in our party selected the seafood streusel, Buddha bowl, Salmon, Scallop special, and burgers. Everything was beautifully presented and we never had to find waitstaff for drink refills. Our "needs" were anticipated ahead of time. We had a birthday cake and gifts for my mother back at her place, so we passed on dessert. It was hard not to order the famous "Grape Nut Pudding" and other treats to sample. All of the waitstaff worked together to provide seamless delivery of our food. Sean made it seem as though we were his main focus. I mean that as a tremendous compliment.... Because we did not need to look around for him throughout our meal, it just really "flowed." I think this was the best service I have experienced in a restaurant in a very long time. Thank you to everyone working last night - my mother's birthday was extraordinarily special -and delicious- because of you! read more

I had dinner here last week. It was the second time I had been here. The drinks were fabulous and the food is outstanding. The only downfall was the long wait (even on a Monday) and it was a bit noisy for my liking. I'm excited to come back during the off season when it's a little less rowdy! read more

Wasn't overly impressed with the food but it may have just been what I ordered. We got the spinach and artichoke dip to start then the shrimp scampi flatbread, pasta primavera and spicy chicken sandwich. The dip was kind of bland but decent, pasta also lacking flavor with gigantic chunks of undercooked vegetables. Chicken sandwich and flatbread were good though. Bread is super good! Servers were all very friendly. Interior is very dark and a bit dated. Has potential to be great with some minor improvements. Was crowded on a Monday at 12:30, so can only imagine what its like on the weekends. Make a reservation. read more

Scargo is an institution on route 6A. It is always incredibly busy, even in the off season. Plan to have a really long wait unless you arrive very early. The food is very good and the service excellent. As usual, I ordered fish. This time, I got lemon flounder on an incredible shrimp and bacon cake. That cake was awesome. It made the dinner for me. The menu is broad and there are many interesting selections to choose from. Recommended. read more

The filet was drowned in a wine reduction. Literally served in a soup bowl of liquid. Why?? Why do this to what should be perfectly good meat unless you are hiding something like old or not top grade filet? The potatoes had a really strange flavor to them. Odd. Like they were made with expired or sour milk. The spinach was soaked and so limp in the filet sauce. No. Just no.my fault. I just wanted a. Nice filet mignon. I should have realized it would be served ala bathtub full of liquid and either asked for it on the side or not at all. Service was good. Ambience is alright. read more

Good food, fair pricing, friendly prompt service, have returned many times- never disappointed

This is my favorite restaurant in Dennis and among the best on Cape Cod. Food here is very delicious and service is great! The restaurant is lovely also. Great ambience! read more

So glad we chose to visit this place while on the Cape. The tiny greenhouses on the patio are so ingenious, with the space heaters for added warmth, made a chilly March afternoon a delight! The hostess seated is promptly, and our waitress checked on us right away. We started with the spinach & artichoke dip, which had chunks of artichoke, and was very tasty. I had the swordfish entre', which was cooked perfectly; could've used a bit more seasoning, but the herb-butter was great. My wife had the buffalo chicken sliders, which had a nice kick, but didn't overwhelm the overall flavor. We've rarely dined out since COVID, and the staff did an excellent job cleaning everything, and facilitating quick service. High praise for our waitress. Would highly recommend. read more
