Sesuit Harbor Cafe (357 Sesuit Neck Road, Dennis) has been highly praised and often recommended as a place to go for lobster rolls with a view. We finally went today after some beach time in Brewster and we are pleased to join the legions of boosters. The view, on this clear, hot day, was absolutely gorgeous. We arrived (strategically, I'd like to think) at 11:45 am after a quick drive from enjoying a long walk the Brewster flats at Crosby's Landing Beach. There was plenty of parking, no line to order--one of their famed lobster rolls for my wife and a cup of chowder for me. One freshly brewed iced tea--which really did taste freshly brewed. Items from the raw bar, including chowder and lobster bisque, are ordered from one counter, everything else from the slightly larger counter. Cash only please (something I had learned from reading reviews, so I was prepared, unlike some other potential customers I observed--thank you). No sooner had we found some shaded seating overlooking the entry way from the bay to the harbor than a friendly, if somewhat soft-spoken, server was calling out our number. As we ate, I noticed the speed with which orders were being delivered to other people. People, ordered, paid, walked out to find a seat and within just a few minutes their order was being delivered. Rather remarkable, especially as the crowd grew during our lunch there The chowder was solid, not goopy, with a rich clam flavor, though it might have contained a few more pieces of clam. It was also hot, which I also appreciate, though I wish it had come with a pat or two of butter to float in the chowder. No matter, I enjoyed it. But the lobster roll was clearly the star--as it should be for a place famed for its lobster rolls. Lightly dress with some mayo and finely diced celery, a large portion of knuckle and clam meat was nestled on top of a piece of leaf lettuce inside a nicely toasted New England style hot dog roll. The fries which came with it were crisp and hot (which was surprising given the speed with which the order was served) and the coleslaw was fresh, crisp, and tasty. I sampled a piece of lobster, a piece of the toasted roll, a few fries (well, maybe more than a few as my wife was busy enjoying the fresh lobster meat), and two spoons of the slaw. By 12:20 the section closest to the building was filled with people, as was the parking lot (but the section closest to the water still had all of its seating wide open). We've enjoyed quite a few lobster rolls this season at various establishments on and off the Cape. At $33 (with fries and slaw), the Sesuit Harbor Cafe roll was probably at the midpoint of what we have variously paid, but it was most certainly at the pinnacle of freshness and taste. I'm not sure I would dare to go there at the height of peak season given that we are adverse to crowds. But with the sun out today, the water warm, and the air temps in the high 80s, it may as well be "summer" so we fully enjoyed the experience. read more
