We had such a great experience at The Flying Bridge Restaurant in Falmouth that I felt like I had…read moreto come on here and talk about it. From the second we walked in, the whole place just had an amazing atmosphere. The ambience is honestly one of the best parts about dining here -- you've got that perfect Cape Cod waterfront vibe with the boats in the marina, the breeze coming off the water, and the way the light hits the harbor around sunset makes everything feel super relaxed but still special at the same time. It's the kind of place where you can actually enjoy your meal without feeling rushed, and just take in where you are. On top of that, our waitress Ashley gave us outstanding service. She was genuinely so nice and welcoming right from the start, constantly checking in on us without ever being overbearing. You can tell she really cares about making sure people are having a good experience. She answered all of our questions about the menu, gave great recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly. It's rare to get service that feels that attentive but still natural, and she really made our night better. And the food was amazing. Everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You could tell it was made with care and not just rushed out. Between the service, the ambience, and the quality of the food, this was easily one of the best dining experiences we've had in Falmouth. We'll definitely be coming back, and we hope to get Ashley again next time!

Where to start.. I ordered the spicy crabby & cucumber salad…read more& it was not only a huge portions but it was the best I've ever had! Seriously, if you follow me, you know that is a compliment! My drink was a dirty martini & it was a heavy pour & a decent drink. Again, not the best but very good. For the entree I wanted to order the sushi pizza.. yea you heard it right, I wouldn't have even considered it but by neighboring table got it & it looked FANTASTIC. However, I was away from home & did not want leftovers so I ordered the special sushi roll Crimson Tide & added Jalapeños. The Jalapeños were fresh & crispy, but did not lend any additional heat. I am a sushi snob, so it was not the best I've ever had, but it was decent. For most it would be good. The menu changes regularly, which was a little disappointing. It was different online, vs on Yelp vs in person & the prices were about $10 more than listed online, but overall, it wasn't a bad experience. I would recommend checking them out, just know it won't be cheap. I originally wanted the seared Tuna, but when I got here, it was halibut & it was $36 vs $22. I will include pics of the menu, but like I said, it's subject to change. OK, take this with a grain of salt. I would probably have made it a 4 vs 3 so I'm on the fence. Regan, my server explained that the additional $6 added to my $12 martini was not because it was a dirty martini, but because it was up vs on the rocks, so it was a bigger pour. It makes sense, but I have never seen this before.. make your own decisions.

Absolutely delicious! The grilled oysters is where things went off the rails. They came with such a strong flavor of Turmeric it ruined the dish imo.

It was just ok, for the cost of it, I expected a bit more. My wife could not finish hers. Overall it was an ok experience but I am in no hurry to return. If I do it will be for cocktails, pate, and the view.

One of my first stops in Cape Cod was the Highfield Hall & Gardens. Beautiful estate in a beautiful…read morearea. Per it's website: "Highfield Hall & Gardens is the magnificently restored 1878 estate of the Beebe family, now transformed into a vibrant center of cultural and community life on Cape Cod. The story of this property is a dramatic one as it was, literally, saved from the wrecking ball in 1994 and lovingly restored, opening as a museum and historic site in late 2006." On the ground was an outside art/sculpture that looked really interesting. Took pictures of it. Certainly a nice first stop in Cape Cod. It's in the town of Falmouth which is one of my favorite places I visited in my New England trip.

Found Eli's Pub while searching for somewhere to have dinner and a cocktail: Eli's Tavern looked perfect so off we went! We arrived about 4:45 so there were no other guests except another couple. We were greeted by our friendly server and settled in to enjoy our early evening. The decor is cozy with warm wood walls and tables. It gave off a relaxing vibe right away. Lucky for us it was $10 burger night. The menu has a large selection of pub fare. Three of us chose the burger special. Two of our friends chose to have a Rachel. The place began filling up while we were enjoying our drinks - a popular place on a Monday night! Everything was delicious. The burgers were big, juicy with a delicious flavor while the turkey on the Rachel's was moist and tasty. All in all an excellent choice for us out-of- towners: great prices, really good food and a relaxing place to spend about 90 minutes while waiting to line up for the ferry.

It was a little surprising that a room with such a large common space would have two queen beds instead of a king bed, though. The staff, including housekeeping, did a great job making us feel like guests of honor all weekend long, with a bride and groom welcome setup and several refreshes of the room while we were away. We were also able to book one of the dog-friendly rooms at the last minute, in which my mom stayed with our dog. There was lots of green space on and off the property for our dog to explore on walks. The Coonamessett also hosted our morning-after-the-wedding buffet breakfast, which we coordinated through their special events team five months before the wedding. The food was pretty good, nothing special, but was a little on the pricier side (to be expected for a wedding-related event). Since they weren't hosting a wedding on-site that weekend, we were able to use the entire ballroom space. A couple hotel guests wandered in and grabbed a plate before we informed them it was a private event. The Coonamessett even opened the bar for our guests (my niece and nephew said the espresso martinis were good!).

I have shopped here for years. I have no idea why I have never written a Yelp review of this shop…read more We have many mementos from this shop, dating back more than a decade. O this visit, we went in just to browse with little intent to buy. But we found a perfect memento of this trip, something we actually needed, a new wall clock for my husband's study. It has a topographic map of Woods Hole as the background clock face and has a frame of copper. It was not terribly expensive but is a novelty for our home and seems to be working well. The staff was incredibly informative about current goods from an artist we have bought in the past. There was some very pretty natural themed jewelry that in the past I probably would have purchased but probably do not have a real need now. I did pick up some note cards by a local artist as those are always useful. When we return to Woods Hole in the future we will undoubtedly return to this shop. We always do.

Highly recommend and it's a great spot for pictures.

The wine samples provided were of good taste, reasonably priced at $20 per person. The staff were friendly; however, there was a lack of engagement from staff after the samples were purchased.

Nevertheless, I was dissatisfied with the port-a-potty arrangement, stemming from its placement on uneven ground. Furthermore, the vineyard's trellises appeared poorly constructed, and the overall maintenance of the vineyard seemed lacking. The seating area was pleasant and the location has potential.
