Staying at the hotel here to visit my daughter. Food is outstanding. I had the pan sear chicken, was crisp on the skin and juicy inside, potatoes were smashed with a bit of some still whole, which was a great contrast to having them all the same. One of my kids had the chicory Caesar salad with a side of chicken. Said it was really good, I tried some and it was quite flavorful. Husband had the steak, he said it was good. I tried it and it was so good. My other kid had the chicken sandwich, the piece of chicken was huge it overflowed the dish. My son had the kids chicken fingers and fries ate it all. Everyone was so nice, checked on often to see if we needed anything, our water glasses were never empty! Overall we had a fantastic time, food was delicious, staff was great highly recommend having dinner here. Loved the atmosphere of all the boats. And the views are spectacular! read more

The Chatham Bars Inn is such a beautiful hotel with a few different restaurants. There's free valet parking. The staff provides a high level of service here. The Sacred Cod has a large menu with relatively reasonable prices. The Parker House Rolls came with truffle butter that gives a savory flavor profile. The crab cake sandwich is a really neat idea that comes with a nice aioli and brioche bun. The house fries are great too! Overall an excellent dining experience. read more

The ambiance of this restaurant was rather classy and organized. The service was amazing, as our server was very kind-hearted and attentive. From the menu, we started off with the clam chowder and crispy Brussel sprouts for starters. They were both amazing. The clam chowder wasn't too floury nor was it too thin. The flavor was balanced and flavorful. The Brussel sprouts were cooked wonderfully, as they were soft and crispy but not mushy, which were also complimented with some gochujang aioli and some balsamic-like sauce, which elevated these veggies. For entrees, I ordered the Lamb Gnocchi. The lamb was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the gnocchi had a slight cheddar taste and was relatively mushy, and the sauce was slightly gamey but very flavorful. I would advise those who are not fans of lamb or soft-ish pasta to order this, but otherwise, it was a very unique and tasty dish. I also tried their short rib which was also tender but a tad bit dry. The fish and chips were also rather good, with a tempura-style exterior and soft/flaky fish interior. The fries were also alright, nothing to complain about. Overall, the food, service, and ambiance were highly satisfactory, and I recommend people to try this place out! read more

Absolutely amazing experience at The Sacred Cod! I just moved to Chatham and brought my aunt and cousin here for dinner--what a great choice. The food was phenomenal, and the service was just as impressive. Our server, Marlon, was fantastic--super friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and made the whole experience feel extra special with his warm smile and attentiveness. To top it off, Chef Alex personally brought out our meals! Such a memorable touch. We loved it so much, we came back the next day just for drinks--and we're glad we did! Bartender Larry was incredible. Every drink was perfectly crafted and his energy really made the night. Definitely our new favorite spot. Can't wait to come back! read more

The Sacred Cod - Lobster tacos. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Chatham, Massachusetts

This was our absolute favorite restaurant on our most recent trip to Cape Cod! We had checked out the menu online and were intrigued by the lobster corn dogs and decided we must have a try! Sure glad we did! Fancy dining atmosphere yet laid-back and friendly staff. Our server Vanya was so nice and helpful with the menu--she really new every food item so well! We decided to order and share a bunch of small items because everything looked so good! We started with the Pickle Jar and Lobster Corn Dogs. The pickle jar contained all sorts of pickled items such as tomatoes, beans, garlic, and I think maybe even a few pickles. :) It was such a delicacy and we enjoyed it very much. The lobster rolls were truly culinarily-life-changing! We weren't sure what to expect from the blend of lobster, clam, and scallop as far as consistency inside the corn dog, but it was amazing! The outside was just what you'd expect from a corn dog, only to be filled with seafoody goodness! We moved onto the New England Clam Chowder and Lobster Tacos, also exquisite. Although I prefer Manhattan Clam Chowder, this NE Chowder was excellent! We had a warm buttered lobster roll with a side salad (complete with watermelon radish!) which was kind of the kitchen because they really only had the cold lobster roll (mayo-based) on the menu. So amazingly good and worth every penny! We also got another order of the lobster corn dogs because they were so amazing! Equally good the second time around! While we don't frequent Cape Cod that often, we will definitely make Sacred Cod a priority stop next time we are in the area! We have already told so many others about this place because of their great ambiance, friendly service, and especially their unique menu offerings! read more

By far our favorite restaurant within the Chatham Bars Inn. It has a tavern with limited seating and a small adjoining dining room. We thoroughly enjoyed their Clam Chowder, cold beer and daily bread variety - delish! The highlights for us were the wonderful, local Wellfleet oysters on the half served with a mignonette sauce, horseradish and cocktail sauce. The best we've had since arriving! The Lobster tail, @market price, was also another home run! Service was efficient and very friendly. The warm wood paneling gives it a handsome tavern atmosphere where you'll want to linger and take in a sporting event on their flat screen t.v. Cheers! We'll return! read more

My sister and I got the brussel sprouts, New England clam chowder, Sacred lobster roll, and fried green tomato, plus a mai tai and non-alcoholic pina colada - TASTE: 4/5 - the brussel sprouts were so good, thanks to the soy ginger glaze, and we enjoyed the clam chowder, chives, and bacon too. My lobster roll was awesome w the fresh lobster, house dressing, lemon aioli, and buttered brioche bun! TEXTURE: 5/5 - the clam chowder was thicker than expected, which made it all the more comforting and a nice contrast to the focaccia crisp and chunks of bacon. The lobster filling was refreshing, and complemented by the thick-cut fries PRICE: 4/5 - not bad for being the more casual dining option at Chatham Bars Inn. The $50 lobster roll was steep, but worth it because... SERVING SIZE: 5/5 - everything was bigger than we thought! The brussel sprouts were plentiful, the lobster roll was loaded and overflowing, and the fried green tomato sandwich, which we didn't know was gonna be a sandwich lol, was huge too SERVICE: 3/5 - we walked in before 4:30pm on a Saturday and the space was half full. Ordered from the lunch menu, as dinner started at 5pm, and our waitress was helpful in recommending a drink for me. There seemed to be a delay between receiving our apps and waiting for the entrees; we were getting nervous that our order was forgotten, but our entrees did finally come after 35min ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - again, the more informal dinner spot compared to Stars, but still an elevated feel w large leather chairs in the tavern space. There's a bar/lounge section off of the dining room area too PARKING: 5/5 - we stayed at CBI that night, so we parked in the lot by our Beach House cottage and walked across the street to the Main Inn read more

You already know that the Chatham bars Inn is a great hotel but know that The Sacred Cod is an equally great restaurant. We had a Saturday lunch for two. I had terrific mussels in a light sauce that was just right. My wife loved her fish and chips. Even the buttery rolls that come out were delicious! The Sacred Cod is worth the price of admission. read more

I don't understand how the reviews aren't all 5 stars. We had the BEST dinner here! We started with the lobster taco & the pork belly and both of them were to die for. We also got the breaking bread, and it was delicious - a pumpernickel bread with onions embedded, topped with sour cream and swiss- and then all baked together. It was so, so good. For our mains, I got the flatbread of the day and it was an eggplant and tomato sauce topped with mozzarella, linguica, and a mixed greens kale tossed with pesto (from their own greenhouse)! It filled me up SO fast. My husband got the wagyu ragu and he loved it! Service was a little slow but we didn't mind, it was a relaxing dinner! And we left so full and satisfied! (Forgot to take a picture before so I'm posting the aftermath!) read more

Patricia, our waitress, was so incredibly nice and attentive. It makes such a difference when restaurants hire superstars. The person can easily make or break someone's experience and she was the perfect example of a gold star hospitality team member. Apart from the service, our cheesecake was wonderful and drinks perfect. We had a great experience here and I highly recommend! read more

We visited here during the holidays; the hotel is decorated quite beautifully complete with a gingerbread house of the property...so cool. The only open dining place was The Sacred Cod and because we arrived on the early side (around 3 p.m) we were seated almost immediately during their lunch service. The menu is small, but everyone found something they would enjoy. My crab cake was almost completely crab...not a lot of breading and really quite tasty. Everyone else seemed pleased with their meals, but truly the pièce de résistance was the dessert menu....my goodness! My husband ordered the Caramel Brownie Sundae which was embellished deliciously with caramel popcorn. The brownie was incredibly moist and dense...perfectly made. I ordered this delicious pistachio cheesecake delight which I cannot even find on their menu now! It was really outstanding and beautifully presented. Despite the atmosphere, the servers are pretty chill and we felt most welcome even though we were not wearing any cashmere...lol. We splurged on this meal, but truly, it was well worth it and made for a very memorable visit. read more

Loved this spot for drinks! First off, the interior is so nice - leather chairs and couches everywhere, and very nautical. The drinks were absolutely delicious, especially the Cape Rose Sangria (so refreshing and unique!) and the espresso martini (almost takes like mocha, such a good recipe). The oysters and fingerling potatoes (amazing sauces!) were also fantastic, and our waitress was so sweet! One of my favorites from this weekend. read more

For many years my absolute favorite lobster roll has been at CBI. The large chunks of lobster with the light mayo. I was eager for my annual pre thanksgiving lobster roll . Unfortunately the newest lobster roll there is pre made , more lobster salad like - with twice the mayo and zero large lobster chunks . Hoping the OG roll comes back for the summertime . It seems somewhat cheapened. Lastly , our waiter was not very friendly . I still love and will always love this place overall. read more

The chef is brilliant! I'm from NYC and I can't remember when I had had such a delicious dinner in NYC. The presentation of each dish was perfect. For the starter we had oysters and yellowfin tuna. Tuna has already made my dinner. Very sophisticated taste. After I had seared native scallops - highly recommended!!!! My friend had The yankee pot roast! The best potato purée. The meet had a rich flavor and texture. Photos bellow. I wish we had this chef in NYC look forward to coming back and eat more! read more

" And the days went by like paper in the wind Everything changed, then changed again ". As the fall comes to an end, my thirst to hold onto summer never ends. What spells summer more than a lobster salad sandwich down the Cape? Chatham Bars Inn makes a stunning first impression, as if you're stepping back in time. The 100 year old plus inn is an ode to its seaside surroundings with fish sculptures and model ships encased in glass ensconsed with dark wood, turn-of-the-century furnishings. Nestled inside The Chatham Bars Inn is a restaurant called The Sacred Cod. It's an intimate tavern with a dramatic vaulted ceiling, walls adorned with art and an eclectic menu. My partner and I opted for the HEIRLOOM BEETS & LOCAL BURRATA w/ asian pear. za'atar and red onion for our appetizer. I love beets and could've just ordered another order to be content but tis lobster I crave matey. Twas adorned with hand cut fries and was packed with both claw and tail meat. Lightly tossed with a hint of mayo and enhanced with a healthy squeeze of lemon nuzzled betwixt a warm buttered new england style oversized hot dog roll it brought back a little summer. As the days get shorter and the nights get colder I'm prepared to let you go now. See you in a while lobster roll and summer. read more

From the best dirty martini I've had at a hotel bar to the delicious food we had for dinner this was the best meal of our time on the Cape. The French onion soup was amazing,ice cold Chatham oysters,spring risotto,and the best bite of the night.. pork belly chop with New England cassoulet which had the taste of the best baked beans I wish my mother could have made!(Sorry Mom) this is the tavern version of there two restaurants but I was thoroughly impressed. read more

Food was great. Seating was easy and our Bulgarian server did us right. The only problem was that there was a table of entitled patrons that had some problem with their food, kids, nannies, I don't know what but they pulled the staff away from our table and the service was a skootch slow because of them. I should have had a word with them, but they looked like the kind of folks that are never happy. Another dinner and a show. The chef looked very gracious as he dealt with them. read more

This was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. I ordered the pot roast, this is one of my favorite meals but I never order it in a restaurant. My husband ordered a burger. I will get to dessert later! The pot roast was divine, absolutely delicious..the mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious. My husband raved about his burger. The service was great but we did need to ask for our water glasses to be filled a few times. The bread they brought us was warm, homemade and delicious. Whoopie pies for dessert, enough said!!! A great dining experience, nice welcoming staff, delicious food. If you are in town, go to Sacred Cod, you won't be disappointed. PS, a nice beer and cocktail list too. read more

Old fashion tavern feel , good tasty mushroom flatbread , delish! Great service very polite

Came to this location for late night drinks and it was relatively crowded bar scene, as snooty as they come due to the clientele of course but to run out of martini glasses, come on people. I mean we paid an arm and a leg for the drinks to begin with and they werent that great anyway, but to put them in a bourbon glass is a crime. Staff here was a bit rude and definitely not on top of their game nor did they look like they knew what they were doing or how to manage the crowd on a Friday night. Nice enough place but not somewhere I would go out of my way to come for a drink. read more

$$ but worth it! Oysters unreal! French onion soup best I've ever had! The yankee pot roast was wonderful! The gravy and mashed with the succulent meat were off the chart for texture and flavor! Did I mention the oysters? I want more now and it's 6 am. Great restaurant! read more

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the Sacred Cod. Dishes enjoyed: clams, shrimp, lobster salad and tuna. Fish/seafood was incredibly fresh and seasoned perfectly. Service was excellent. Be prepared for some "sticker shock" when the bill arrives but great value. read more

This place is pricy but the food is good. Highly recommend the oysters, it comes with this vinegar sauce that really elevates the flavor of the oysters I didn't really care for the clam chowder...too fancy for my taste, more puree than clams. Highly recommend the scallops too read more

We were sent here when there was no room at The Veranda. The food is great, and on the days we were there, there were only two other families, and a lot of social distancing. We got the calamari and lobster rolls. The only thing that I would change is maybe add a little more lobster or decrease the amount of bread in the lobster roll. Other than that, it was great! read more

Great atmosphere but food was only fare. He had the fish and chips which looked and tasted like they were fried a 2nd time to reheat although they were served cold. The fried calamari was a huge portion but not served with any dipping sauce and was quite dry. The waitress didn't know that Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc are completely different wines. I don't think they had proper time for training. read more

Portly trained staff, uninspiring menu, poorly prepared food, screaming kids. Avoid! Wife told staff of allergy. Food came and loaded with this ingredient after being assured not in the recipe. My fish and chips came ten min later. Soggy. Calamari very oily and soggy. We have high standards and this was the worst on the Cape. Does have a nice dining room if not for screaming toddlers. Many. read more

I cannot say enough about Sacred Cod. The food was absolutely delicious! We started with the mini lobster rolls, which were fantastic. My husband and I both had fish chips, which was delicious. We were with our 3 year old and 7 month old. My husband asked if they had any applesauce to feed our 7 month old. The waiter was gracious and asked the kitchen if they had anything for a 7 month old. The chef came up with the idea to puree some fresh fruit to feed her. The waiter came back to the table with a delicious bowl of freshly pureed fruit specially made for our little one. We finished with dessert, I had the pudding which was one of the best desserts I have had and my husband had a classic sundae which was also fantastic! I cannot say enough about the service we received. It was far superior than expected. Well worth the cost for such an enjoyable meal and evening! read more

Completely mediocre service and food. Our table ordered two different fish dishes and both were over cooked and not even hot. We waited over an hour for our food. Our waiter was nice but took prolonged absences from our table. For the price of the place, the supposed quality based off the atmosphere, I was expecting much more. Severely let down and will not be dining here again, at least for a while. read more

Unfortunately, our experience did not meet the high price. Despite it being a relatively slow night in terms of attendance, it took upwards of 90 minutes to get our entrees. Overall, the food was very mediocre as was the service, which was below expectations given the reputation of the hotel and the mystic of the building. Not sure how it would have been on a busy summer weekend, but I can only assume it would be a "hot mess" P.s. the waiter made a big to-do about bringing over two spoons to split the dessert with, and the two spoons very clearly did not match. I don't much care about this sort of thing; however, if it's a badge of honor to bring over spoons ahead of time, they ought to at least match read more

An upscale tavern located at the Chatham Bars Inn, the Sacred Cod serves up delicious food and great service. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but you're paying for the ambiance and the swanky surroundings. I got the lobster roll, which was absolutely loaded with lobster, as well as an excellent Manhattan from their cocktail list. If you're looking for a nice place to eat on the Cape that's not too stuffy, this is a good place to start. read more

This was the worst dining experience I have had in a long time. I expected impeccable service and food given that we are staying in the Inn and paying THAT rate for the rooms! But awful. No wait to get a table but we were not given menus when we were sat. Took over 10 mins and asking 3 people to get them. They forgot to give us our drinks. But the worst was I ordered fish and chips which were clearly not cooked. I lived in New England all my life, I know that translucent cod that is mushy and not flaky is raw. Well the waiter looked scared to go speak to the chef and returned with my plate, and the fish completely broken apart across the dish and saying that "chef says it's cooked, I can't do anything about it." I said I tasted it and it's mushy, it's not cooked. He said chef insists! So he left the destroyed, raw fish in front of me And ran away. Just as I was about to take a picture of it, he ran back and swiped it from me. But still charged me the $29 for the dish. It was a 2 hour terrible meal, with terrible service. Not eating at any of these restaurants in the Inn again, if that is how they treat customers - and clearly their staff! I feel kinda bad for the scared waiter. read more

There was nothing "bad" about the food, service or atmosphere, but it just wasn't anything special. The host and waitress were kind and helpful, but it just felt off. The interior felt a bit cavernous. We were disappointed in one of our side dishes with the main entree. (We ordered all hot food and when the "carrots" came, they were cold. It just would have been appropriate for the server to tell us how they were prepared.) read more

This was our second visit, disappointed. Staff was very eager to please. Pea and pistachio hummus with veggies and flat bread was a generous portion and nicely done. Creamy hummus. Hubby had the black bean burger which was Great with caramelized onions. Farro salad was very bland, no seasoning or dressing to taste. I had the chicken and bacon wrap, which was bland and a little dry. Too much cheese for my liking. French fries were crispy. Mixed drinks are expensive at $16. 2 people with 1 mixed drink, 1 beer, app, 2 meals...$100. Not impressed for that price, especially the wrap. read more
