    A delicious first dinner in Falmouth! The watermelon caprese was fresh and tasty. The pesto was outstanding!! My wife got salmon, and the salmon and couscous were cooked to perfection. Our one year old daughter kept stealing bites! My swordfish was phenomenal. Perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. I got beurre blanc on the side, and didn't need it. The fish had so much flavor. I love the ocean-themed interior. And everyone was so kind and accommodating.

    Standard New England seafood and pub fare here, with the standard decor expected of a Cape Cod seafood restaurant: dark wood beams, nautical themes (lobster shells and horseshoe crabs on the walls, fish nets, etc.) Some Santas and elves too because Christmas was coming. In my experience one can tell a lot from a restaurant's name. With cliche names like "Quarterdeck," "Fisherman's Catch," etc. it's almost guaranteed to be average at best. I don't know why but it's usually true. I got a clam roll which turned out to be a mistake. I got it because I wanted a smaller portion than the platter. But the clams were oversized for a roll and too few in number so it was hard to eat. Good for a platter but for a roll, smaller clams and more of them would be better. But the clams though were fresh, cooked correctly, and the batter was decent, not outstanding. The roll was toasted and buttered, and a small lettuce leaf completed the sandwich. My biggest complaint was the tartar sauce, homemade, which was a disaster. Tasted of little more than plain mayonnaise. Unfortunately the fries were almost room temperature. I wasn't going to say anything but when the waitress came by and asked I told her. She apologized, took them away, and returned with a new platter of fries, a very large portion, and scaldingly hot. I was no longer so hungry but ate a good fraction of them, as leaving them after she brought a replacement just seemed rude. They weren't very good though; greasy and the oil didn't taste fresh. To drink I had a "mocktail" version of a Moscow Mule. It was way too sweet. Without the bite of alcohol it needed something else to tone down the sweetness. It wasn't cheap either. I should have just had a plain ginger ale. I would recommend trying someplace else instead. Lots of choices in the area.

    10/10 recommend. Kicked off our New England road trip in Falmouth and wanted seafood immediately. Searched Yelp and found this place and did not disappoint! Cute little place with window seating (in the front room) to watch passersby. I got a round of oysters, yummy! Then shared clam chowder, dang...so good. Can't be in this area without clam chowder. BUT the star of the show was the seafood pot pie. We split it and whew...so full from half a serving. Plenty of food. It had lobster, scallops, shrimp, haddock and asparagus in a creamy (bisque type) sauce. When I say full off half...it's definitely shareable and delicious. Highly recommend!

    We had a lovely experience here last weekend! We walked in, and were seated at a table by the window. The table itself is made from what looks like an old stained glass window. We were excited to have a table by the window to be able to watch the Halloween festivities. Our server was wonderful, greeted us right away and gave us menus. I started with a cinnamon sugar rimmed shipyard, and we ordered the steamers as a starter. I've never seen steamers on a menu (we normally buy them and make them at home) - so this was a nice treat. They were plentiful, and come with plenty of butter. For lunch, we both had the seafood pot pie - it was really good. It came with lobster, shrimp, scallops, haddock, asparagus, spinach, in a beautiful lobster sherry sauce, with puff pastry. It was really good - the only slight miss was the puff pastry (it didn't taste super fresh). We will absolutely be back to try more of the menu!

    As soon as they learned were from out of town the service seemed to tank. For example we ordered sparkling water and the second bottle was flat water. We ordered starters like the waitperson asked and then they brought everything all at once *except* the starters. The oysters came out and she never told us which oysters were which. We had to ask for the salad twice and the stuffed quahog from a manager type person. While she was a lovely person the dining experience was silly bad.

    Super cute place! It looks like a hole in the wall bar but it's not! Everything I ordered was delicious. The server was so sweet and on time with everything we just needed a bigger table for all the things that we ordered We went Friday night and they had a live musician playing on our way out. I would definitely recommend!

    We came by two times yesterday it was amazing. The staff was fun at the bar but also server at the table was nice. Everyone in my group had a great time. We tried a few Irish beers. We tried the Reuben and it was perfect. Their fat sweet potatoes fries was good. Wished it was a bit crustier but still great. Their clam chowder was to die for. In fact someone in my group said definitely in their top 3 of best ever. We also tried the Boston cream pie and it was great. We left nothing behind. We will be back for sure.

    Fried calamari and clam chowder are excellent. Nice little restaurant but some more light would be better for older folks.

    A true Cape classic. French onion soup is a must. Nice to know some things don't change -- and I mean that in the best possible sense.

    Stopped in on a Saturday night to catch Silent Trees, and wow -- the place was buzzing. Packed wall…read moreto wall with a lively 40-50+ crowd that clearly knows how to have a good time. You could feel the energy as soon as you walked in. The bartenders were definitely in the weeds most of the night, but you'd never know it from their attitude -- still friendly, still smiling, and somehow making me feel like I'd been coming there for years (first visit, by the way). Grabbed a veggie pizza (solid choice), a cold beer, and settled in for a couple of hours of great local music and that perfect "this is exactly where I'm supposed to be tonight" vibe. If this is what a random Saturday looks like here, I'll be back.

    True Score: 3.5 Stars…read more Interesting spot, nice owner. True Score: 3.75 Stars My wife and I stopped by for dinner and catch the start of the live band The Restaurant opens at 4pm and we got there at 7:15. The staff were friendly and the service was decent. The food was okay but not outstanding. The lobster risotto contained very little lobster and was extremely salty. The pizza was pretty good, roni with burnt edges. However the lobster risotto ($25) and clam chowder ($8) were too pricey for the just okay quality of the food. The staff were very nice and I wish I could give it a higher rating, but the food quality just wasn't where it should be for the prices. Nice touch with the live band, pretty good and we think we met Jack himself. He was a great guy. We would definitely go back. Thanks
