Great food and service. Very nice atmosphere and consistently quality food. One of the few places that has a fairly large and diverse menu and can pull it off. This is our go to place when we are looking for a good meal in a relaxed atmosphere. read more

My daughter and I were excited to try this place as vegans. It is generally so hard to find good vegan offerings at restaurants and we were concerned we might not find any options here at the Cape. We were delighted to find the tofu teriyaki power bowl. The fried tofu was cooked well and it was loaded with flavorful, healthy ingredients. My husband also enjoyed his French dip sandwich and fries. Marissa provided excellent and efficient service. Our food came promptly and was hot and delicious! Thank you for a lovely meal! We will be back!! read more

Great service, attentive staff. Nice setting, convenient location and parking...food is great. Consistent. Great lobster rolls, the pasta dishes are all good. The sweet potato waffle fries are great. Portions are okay. Menu is on the smaller side. Save room for dessert. On the pricier side but the quality is there. Always busy. Good sign. read more

Ate dinner here with my mother in law Friday... early dinner given she is older and we went on a nice long walk to work up an appetite. She was waiting for the swordfish which has a great reputation as being one of the best. It did not disappoint. I on the other hand ordered the pistachio Scrod that was presented on top of a Gouda risotto. So it was a very white on white dish. There was little crust given it said "encrusted" and would call it a dusting of crumbs and maybe a fleck of pistachio. The fish was fresh and tender. The risotto was bland and watery. They brought me parmesan risotto after I mentioned this, although it was merely a tad better. Also there is no vegetable offered with this dish. So it's safe to say I wouldn't order the Scrod or a risotto. Get the swordfish. read more

This might be the best restaurant on the Cape. Upscale without the upscale pricing. Great spot and the chef is amazing. Menu is one page but have no fear! Specials and regular menu have enough variety to please. read more

I can't believe we hadn't come here sooner! I love that they have a private parking lot (with a good amount of spaces). When you walk in, you are greeted with rustic/modern beautiful decor and a welcoming ambience. It seems that the dining areas are a bit spread out, some upstairs, some down, and a few broken up rooms that each offer a bit of a different experience. The hostess seated us at a nice, comfy table next to the window. The drink menu was extensive, with lots of crafty cocktail options. We enjoyed our server as well. The espresso martini was amazing! For appetizers, we tried the Rhode Island Calamari and the Scargo Oysters. Both were yummy, but I preferred the calamari. All of the entrees that our table ordered were also good. The lobster roll was full of awesome chunks, full claws, and just a tiny bit of mayo. You could really taste the lobster which I liked. The men ordered the Reuben and were both impressed. I would also suggest the Asian Fish Sandwich. We opted out on dessert although they sounded lovely! read more

One of the best meals I have ever had on Cape Cod. Meal was so good we went back the next night. Knowledgeable staff, friendly and efficient. First night we had Jon. Helped us make our selections with recommendations. 2 nd night our waitress was Coral. Couldn't make up our minds. Asked what she would recommend. Funny, none of them were what caught our eye. Based on her recommendation my wife had pork chop, I had the flounder. Turned out, she knew what she was talking about. This is our new favorite restaurant. Will be returning every trip to the cape Fresh oysters delicious Strawberry soup ( cold). Wonderful and refreshing read more

Had a casual lunch here in Sept. I had a Cobb salad and hubs had a fish sandwich. Our young male server was really nice as well as refined and intelligent, and he gave us some good info on local beaches. Food was executed with great care and was excellent. We will def. go back, especially for dinner! read more

We went for an early lunch at Scargo Cafe and sat in the tavern which we found quite relaxing. My wife and I each had a drink before lunch and for our meals she had a Reuben and I had the sirloin sandwich special. Both were excellent and the capuccino we ended with was also excellent. Our server was Sage and she couldn't have been better. We will be waiting to see her advice column entitled "Sage Advice" . Overall, great lunch, great place, great service! read more

Loved the pear martini to start. French onion soup was delicious and seafood soufflé for my meal was really tasty. We sat at the bar and the Atmosphere is very cozy and inviting. read more

Consistently good food and reasonable prices, plus good service. Makes sense why Scargo Cafe is always packed !

Went here as a suggestion by my brother for my birthday in March and I'm so glad he said it! I had a lovely shrimp dish. The waitress happily swapped the pasta for potatoes which was greatly appreciated. It wasn't one of the restaurants I regularly thought of when trying to decide where to go out but that all changed after this experience. Will definitely be recommending this to local friends and hoping the tourists don't take over too much so I can enjoy it again this summer! read more

Sarah G made our first visit to Scargo Cafe an absolutely wonderful experience. We sat outside which was enclosed and heated. It was nice to be outside but protected from the cool Spring weather. Our delicious dishes were well portioned with great presentation. The menu has many great options which warrant another visit. read more

Great service from friendly staff. Overall really good food. Reasonable prices. Try the braised short ribs, terrific. Year round top restaurant in Mid-Cape, read more

Just rolled into town, tired and hungry looking for seafood that isn't a salted batter eat. Thank you, Yelp! Nailed it! The web site says they only accept reservations for half their tables, to encourage walk ins. Enlightened policy. We were seated at once, without a reservation. The decor eschews lobster buoys and conch shells. More like a Board Room, with walnut paneling and leather upholstery. Service is precise, efficient and friendly. This is all very nice, but we came to eat. Check out the menu for yourself. Over a dozen appetizers to choose from, all of which sound delicious. The entrees span steak frites to cod roulade. And there are also daily specials. My partner had the seafood strudel - a pastry filled with bubblicious crabmeat and scallop Newburgh, topped with gambas that will stimulate your limbic system. I had a swordfish steak that was grilled perfectly and dressed with a salacious buttery patty that dissolved into every cranny while I watched, mesmerized. Food engaged all your sensory neurons when it is done well. Try Scargo Bistro to learn what I mean. read more

Lovely restaurant with a small but varied menu. The flounder was cooked perfectly and served on a bed of fresh cooked spinach. The cioppino was loaded with seafood and seasoned just right. The salmon on risotto was also excellent Nice wine and beer lists with craft beers read more

It's a legitimate 3. In my opinion, no better no less. Everything was absolutely mediocre last two times we went. Got the steak frites yesterday and the steak was terrible. Tough, chewy, flavorless. But everything else was mediocre so I'm gonna stick with the 3 stars instead of 2 because our waitress was great, and I still think the decor is pretty good.. 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

Nice gem! Great service! Food has staples and some newer, trendier options! The decor is charming and comfortable.

Last night nine of us had a "cousins and partners" reunion of sorts at scargo cafe in dennis. Reservations were made a month in advance. Total success on all counts. Our reservation was honored pretty quickly (second seating of the night, so we knew it might not be exact and we were happy to settle in the bar for a small bit), a great table in the far room, plenty of space for all, and not at all on top of others. Our server Hannah was fabulous, cheerful and helpful. One of the party has very severe food restrictions and she helped to figure out that a filet and asparagus cooked in particular fashion would suit. Most of us had wine, some drinks, but honestly I didn't pay attention to what. Wines were very reasonably priced and a good pour. Among the group we had the crispy tofu bowl with brown rice,, sweet potato etc and teriyaki sauce; fish sandwich; seafood chowder; seafood strudel; filet with goat cheese and spinach; cod roulade with broccoli and bacon cake; swordfish with jasmine rice and asparagus; and the special lamb shank with polenta and candied carrots. Unusually for this group, desserts were also ordered - cheesecake, ice cream sundae, mango sorbet, and I believe some apple creation. Everyone enjoyed their meal, tho will say the seafood strudel did not get the rave review one often sees here (less seafood than anticipated). The power tofu bowl, however, got rave reviews, as did the swordfish. All agreed that prices were fair and reasonable. They happily gave separate checks for those who wanted them. Some of us had not seen each other for ten years. Thanks to the entire staff of scargo cafe for making our evening such a success. read more

Today in late July high was 62! Needed lunch out, after tons of errands. Solo for a few days. Decided to try Scargo Cafe, with a great Yelp deal of free sweet potato poppers. Delish! Bartender Brittany recommended tuna martini. Delish. Great bread. Yes, a place catering to older crowd but everyone was happy there. Hope to take my mom and sis back for lunch in two weeks. I love discovering more and more classic eateries at mid Cape area. read more

We wanted to try someplace new, and stopped in for dinner on our last night on the Cape. We started with a half dozen local oysters on the half shell and an order of boneless Buffalo wings. Both were really good! My husband and I each had a drink with dinner, my husband a local NE IPA and I had an espresso martini. Both were great choices! For dinner, my husband had flounder, my son the crispy scallops, and I had the lobster and sweet pea risotto. Dinner was outstanding! The best part of our dining experience was our server Sean. Very friendly, accommodating, personable, and fun (I spilled my martini even after being warned that the top of the cocktail shaker comes off, which made for a good joke.) Sean's service was second to none! Now that we know this place is here, we will most definitely dine here again. You should check it out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Friendly bar and restaurant full of lots of locals. We were there during March so it wasn't extremely crowded. We were able to get 6 seats together at the bar and the bartender was very patient with our group while we tried to maneuver around for seating. I had the bolognese which was delicious and very heavy on the meat and sauce. The garlic bread that came with it had a bit too much butter on it but other than that the meal was great. Others in our group had short rib, burgers and swordfish and all thought their meals were very good. read more

Mostly excellent but not always We've had great dinners and not so good. Not happy about that. We love Scargo. Wish it could be more consistent read more

I love coming here, they have been very busy the past couple weeks and our drinks took longer than our food but our server had lots of personality and there isn't really anything that isn't great on the menu read more

The gazpacho was not our favorite. It was more like a tomato juice with chopped vegetables in it than a true gazpacho. The lobster florentine was good, but could have used a little more flavor. We especially enjoyed the grape nut custard for dessert. Our server was friendly and attentive. Overall, it's is a solid restaurant. read more

Been coming to Scargo Café for years, and the food is always on-point and delicious. My favorites are the Salmon and Swordfish. Highly suggest the Spa Drink and the Native Mule. Service is excellent, every time we have been. The restaurant is classy, and even when busy is nice and not too chaotic. read more

Dined in here recently in a greenhouse with my wife and two young children. What a great experience! The greenhouse's are super cool - private and enclosed, and they are really cozy even when it is cold outside! Service was top-notch and everything we ordered was great (kids ate their entire meals!) We'll definitely be back. read more

My recent visit to a beloved Cape Cod restaurant left me thoroughly impressed. The food is consistently excellent, with fresh salads and a diverse drink selection. Personal favorites include the sweet potato deepers, arugula salad, and beet salad. They have a nice selection for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free diners, and you can always ask the chef to prepare something of the menu based on the ingredients of your choice. At least this is my experience. The atmosphere is welcoming and inviting. Highly recommended for exceptional food and hospitality on the Cape. read more

Fantastic meal the other night at the Scargo cafe. Had to wait 50 Minutes for dinner but well worth the wait. From the servers to the host everyone there is extremely friendly. The food is fantastic and innovative. If you are in the Cape make sure you make a stop for dinner here one night! read more

We popped in for lunch with a huge group. There were four of us in a bit of a rush and informed the waitress that we were looking for a quick turnaround. The crab cakes - SPEECHLESS. A must order. Our waitress provided the check asap without us asking. Would recommend Scargo to anyone. read more

We came here for dinner during Memorial Day Weekend, around 8pm. Although we had a reservation, we did have to wait a bit to be seated, and the restaurant was pretty full (seemed very popular with the 60+ crowd). We ordered the shrimp scampi flatbread and the sweet potato dippers to start. The flatbread was good, although very simple, and I wish it were more flavorful. The sweet potato fries were hot and crunchy -- not a fan of the honey mustard sauce they were paired with though. Highlight was definitely the free bread, which was amazing! For my main, I got the potato crusted scrod, which was a white fish served in a rich corn and bacon chowder. This was really good - definitely exceeded my expectations. As a whole, the meal was satisfying, but nothing that's going to haunt your dreams. read more

Five of us had a nice dinner here the other night. We were here the Thursday before Memorial Day and it was still pretty crowded. Inside it's pretty nice maybe a little dark. Crowd was maybe a bit on the older side but I'm not sure what it's like in July or August. A couple of the people in our group had been there before and knew exactly what they wanted (one wanted a steak and the other the swordfish). Others had the steak as well and I guess they were good as nothing was left on anyone's plate. I had the poke bowl and it was surprisingly good. The wine list was pretty impressive actually which was a nice surprise. For dessert I tried their special grape-nut custard thing and it was good and not too heavy. The service was efficient and helpful. Prices aren't cheap but not unreasonable for what it is. Overall I will go back when I get the chance. read more
