Overall great restaurant with some limited vegan options. Inside seems a bit crowded but the covered patio is a great option. The food was good and the portions were large. While the staff was great they did seem to be a bit overwhelmed. My only other recommendation would be to install some patio heaters for colder nights and get some more comfortable chairs. I would definitely come back to this place. read more

I have frequented the Brewster/Orleans area on Cape since I was born ! I have driven by the Beacon Room a million times and just never been in! Finally last summer I came in and was so pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious the ambiance was relaxing, and the drinks were strong and good! Since it is tucked a bit off the main road it doesn't feel so Cape Tourist! I took my aunt with me this time, and once again delicious! She had the Cod with risotto which was fabulous and I had the Sole with curry and grape salad with Jasmine rice. I had the curry sauce on the side to try it out first, but oh man was it great! I've heard they may be up for sale, and I hope that whichever person takes over changes almost nothing! I especially love the for sale artwork all around! Highly recommend! read more

Let's start with the fact that I reserved a table for the right day, right time but wrong week! No worries, the fabulous hostess found a way to fix my error and we were seated in about five minutes. Our server was equally pleasant and helpful. Wine by the glass selection was ample and everyone found something they liked. Our guests had the swordfish special and the sole; they were both raving about their dinners the next day. I had the cod loin with risotto which was super flavorful and delicious and my wife enjoyed the sole as well. Our first time at The Beacon but certainly not our last. read more

Without a doubt, the best duck I've ever had! Came here in 2024 and came back to enjoy the duck again in 2025. Doesn't disappoint. The skin is so crispy and inside so moist. For apps we also had a scallop special over a bed of corn and fries. Both were good. My friend got the chicken parm in 2024 and also loved it. The service is always great as well! read more

3 rating based on my meal alone. Ambiance was cute. Had the veggie bowl. Waitress asked chef to swap out cauliflower with spinach and I added the shrimp. I got three shrimp. Decent size shrimp. Came over a lemongrass coconut broth. I had to ask for more. A bit dry. Could have used a bit more flavor. Boyfriend got the salmon. He enjoyed his meal. read more

Not a great experience. Food mediocre for the price and took half an hour to arrive. Warm rolls okay but butter rancid. Service adequate but not friendly. Menu items sold out before 7 pm. on a slow weeknight. We won't go back. read more

Stumbled upon The Beacon Room when exploring down Cape and we are so happy that we did. Many of the other restaurants in the area are closed for lunch, especially during the winter, so make sure you check this place out if you're looking for a good lunch spot. Atmosphere is fantastic. A bit on the fancy side, but you could also be casual. There is plenty of parking and a decent amount of tables. From the parking lot, it looked pretty busy but we were still sat right away as a party of 4. They have an extensive cocktail list, which we dabbled with. We ordered one of the mocktails and added gin which was phenomenal and also tried their Negroni cocktail, which was just okay. Out of everything we ordered, it was the only item that didn't impress us. For appetizers, we tried both of the soups; the clam chowder and their soup of the day which was a butternut bisque. Both were great, however we did need to add a bit of salt to the chowder to bring out the flavor. Their lunch menu is mostly sandwiches, but they all sounded delicious. I got the Reuben which was one of the best ones I've ever had and opted for the truffle fries ($4 upcharge). My husband got the Fish & Chips and we split both. Everything was delicious. read more

Lovely environment staff was great. Food was OK. Mashed potatoes were runny and the green beans were undercooked. The seafood tasted good. We enjoyed our evening. I hope the place stays open as much as possible. read more

Saturday and place was quite active. Would definitely recommend a reservation. Cocktails were good. Especially liked the black Manhattan. Had the chicken Milanese and it was excellent. Service was a touch slow but nothing to really complain about. I sometimes have a difficult time hearing in crowded places, not the issue here even as busy as it was. Place was very clean and neat I will definitely go back read more

The food was delicious. The service was terrible. They rushed us through our entire dinner. We were celebrating our one year wedding anniversary and the waitress kept trying to box our food up and even our wine all the while saying "no rush" as that made up for her rushing us through all of our drinks, food orders, and dessert. Not a good experience overall due to poor etiquette unfortunately. read more

Great food and service. Also environment was great. Orleans doesn't have a ton of options but this is a go back for sure. Nice staff as well

Excellent. The food is great, love their duck as well as the seafood, Very good cocktails and a nice wine list. Service friendly efficient and knowledgeable. Nice ambiance we like inside, our friends prefer the tent prices in line with restaurants of this caliber. read more

Our group of 5 went to The Beacon Room to celebrate a birthday. What a wonderful time! The food was excellent, the service was amazing, and our whole party had a great time. I had the grilled salmon - a generous portion, perfectly cooked. Our birthday girl had a dinner of appetizers, with the perfectly fried artichokes and bacon-wrapped scallops. All in our party had a great dinner, with plenty of leftovers. Which was a good thing, since we all needed room for birthday cake desert! We will DEFINITELY be back to The Beacon Room, sooner than later. You should too! read more

The bread was served warm with very cute spear butter balls. Service was very slow! The waitress took the order of people who were seated after us order first and seemed annoyed when I told her I was ready to order. Food was good portion was ok size but could be more for the price. The atmosphere was very beautiful outside. read more

Took family for retirement dinner on a Saturday evening in July. Our table next to a window was ready when we arrived. Wine and beer selection was good. Service was great. Meal was outstanding. Very nice setting. Two of us had halibut, which was cooked perfectly. Portions were generous. I highly recommend! read more

Restaurant fails to follow enforced state laws around animals in restaurant as they do not have a permit. The law is very clear a permit is required. This restaurant claimed they couldn't ask the people with a dog if they had paperwork for their miniature Yorker because it would make too much of a fuss. Last time I checked miniature Yorkies are not service dogs. When asking the manager about the permit they said they didn't want to make a fuss with the dog owner. But guess it's ok to put heart transplant patients at risk. Will be calling the health department Monday to alert them and already contacted BBB at this massive failure. read more

Every trip to the Cape yields another find. This time it's The Beacon Room. The staff is incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is cozy. For starters try the fried oysters or the cerviche or the tuna poke. The entrees include delicious & tender elk or unreal pan seared sole or wonderful cod. Yes, we ate there twice last week. It's that good. read more

The service is great as is the food. Portions are very generous and the dining options plentiful. Love the crispy duck and the fish. A wonderful meal . Lovely outdoor seating option read more

A friend's friend, who often dines here, suggested we join her there for dinner. Nice evening. Started at outside bar with bartender Kim making a great adaptation of the Cosmo. Then seated inside. We all shared a mini lobster roll appetizer. We had a different fish main, and all three were tasty. Nice big portions with good veggie, rice, beets, grapes as signs of chef creativity. Excellent server and owner made sure we were happy. We also enjoyed a bottle of white wine with our fishes. Overall, a nice dining event...with a lot of laughs! read more

How could I have missed this place? I am told it's been around for 25 years. If you're looking for excellent food (that is creative but not fussy), a charming atmosphere, and warm and competent service -- The Beacon Room is the place. I couldn't have been happier sitting under their outside tent eating the Fra Diavolo (that was just spicy enough), my wife was equally happy with the pistachio crusted sole and the limoncelli cake for 2 was the perfect way to end a great meal. I will be back often. read more

Great place, wonderful owners and staff that go beyond the usual to make sure you are taken care of and happy. Try the veggie burger. I just pulled the trigger after looking at it on menu for a year +. It's Amazing! Get extra mushrooms and blue cheese on it and don't forget the truffle fries. read more

Food was good but not great. The Sole dish had two small thin pieces of fish on top of a large bed of rice with just about a tablespoon of spinach layered in between. Our waitress had no personality but was efficient. read more

The Beacon Room is a must do. We ventured upon The Beacon Room last year and had such a great experience that we talked about it throughout the year. We knew when we came back this fall we had to go again. The atmosphere is welcoming, restaurant is cozy and warm. The food.... Amazing. Staff.. amazing. In particular, Brian. We made early reservations for a hi-top (definitely make reservations). We asked if the bar was available when we arrived and it turns out it was.. which is what we hoped for. We had such a great experience with Brian last time, so this was a great surprise. Brian is attentive, personable, listens and very knowledgeable of cocktails and food recommendations. He interacts with customers, knows what they like.. all while handling a full bar. You can also share with Brian what you're thinking of ordering and what appetizer might pair up well with that. He's spot on, too! This year we had the Burrata app.. amazing. Lovely toasted bread with garlic, greens and fresh cherry tomatoes. We ordered the duck (as did I last year) and the NY strip, rare. Both came with the phenomenal Brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. Absolutely fantastic. We each ordered dirty martinis , which were delicious and made perfectly. We will definitely be back next year and will continue to highly recommend The Beacon Room. If you are visiting the cape, we highly recommend you add this gem to your places to visit. You won't be disappointed. read more

Excellent food and service. Kate found us a table without a reservation. Fiona, our waitress was so excellent. All of the staff, especially Kate, made the night. The following experience was superb. I had sole with a curry sauce and my husband had a pasta seafood pasta. Both were wonderful. So were the fried oyster appetizers and the clam chowder. We sat outside with a covered tent surrounded by flowers. Recommend without reservation. read more

Excellent food and service. Imaginative menu selections first rate white table cloth restaurant.

Attractive interior with nice linens on tables. Service here was really poor. Walking by the table with little eye contact is not good! My Salmon was really charred and so so dry! How hard is it to grill/cook Salmon? Sloppy appearance on the plate as well. Neither of us were pleased. Drink prices far too expensive! $19.???!! Won't return. read more

I'll first say that I LOVED the atmosphere of the place. The people were super nice! That said, the food was only ok. It didn't taste badly per se but the seafood was way over cooked and had a tough texture and the chicken was just bland. The salads were amazing though! We usually go to Ocean Terrace and we were hoping to find a new gem like that, unfortunately we did not. read more

After owning a vacation home in Orleans for 30 years, we finally went to the Beacon Room for dinner. Don't ask why it took us so long, but I can't believe what we've been missing. The food was very good and the service, too. We will add this to our list of regular stops. It's a little tight at some of the tables, but not really a concern when the food is so good. read more

I am usually a big supporter of this restaurant, but last night was extremely disappointing. The restaurant was packed last night when we arrived and you could see that the wait staff was extremely taxed in handling the crowd. Service was slow and food came out slowly. The calamari appetizer was soggy and overly spicy. My main course was borderline cold and my coffee at the end of the meal was lukewarm. Waiting for our waiter to appear for a coffee replacement and then, ultimately, the check took way too long. We are going to hold off for a while and visit other alternative spots and perhaps come back in the summer when a full staffing can handle the crowd efficiently. read more

I just tried the Beacon and was very impressed. The service was impeccable and the cod loin was as good as any fish I've ever had. The lobster risotto was creamy but not heavy and completely delicious. Nice wine list including a small selection of half bottles. I'm pretty fussy about restaurants but I found this one flawless read more

Really good food. Service was a little slow, but it is understandable by the sheer volume and quality of food. Mussels (starter) were sublime. The spices used have it a lot of personality. Correct ration size. Stripped bass with rice was also very good. Cooked perfectly and thick good seafood meat. The rice (under the bass) was well cooked and not clumpy. The salad on the side had the correct amount of dressing and seasoning. read more
