    Tried to stop in for a quick bite but service was super slow. Grabbed a pizza which was decent. Was expensive for what it was - but to be expected here. Not sure if I'd return.

    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!

    Lobster tacos.

    Went to Sacred Cod the other night for a light meal and drinks. Big thumbs up for the lobster tacos! They were delicious!!!

    Pickle Jar and Lobster Corn Dogs (which have lobster, clam, and scallop in them)

    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!

    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!

    Sacred lobster roll
    Alyanna T.

    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

    The aftermath- oops didn't take a photo before!! My husband got the wagyu raga, I got the flatbread and we shared the bread in the middle!

    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!)

    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!

    Citrus Cheesecake Dessert - Amazing!

    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.

    Oysters

    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.

    Tuna crude! The best!!
    Tatyana H.

    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!

    " 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.
