    Strozzapreti Pasta
    Madeline B.

    Dinner at Winslow's is always delicious. After a meal there last summer, I dreamt all year long about their gazpacho. Thankfully they had it again for my recent visit. It definitely lived up to my dreams. It is refreshing and has just the perfect hint of spice. We also shared the the Oysters, Basil Pesto Broiled Oysters, Summer Salad, Calamarata Pasta and Strozzapreti Pasta. The ambiance is also, always a major plus. The front patio is picture perfect with the beautiful hydrangeas against the Cape-Style building. I can't wait to go back next summer!

    Scallop Crudo
    Caroline C.

    Had a beautiful meal on the front patio one evening! The apps here are delicious, even more so than the risotto we shared as our main. Scallops for were cooked perfectly but the risotto left something to be desired. Needed a little salt. Beautiful to look at, however! Great cocktails.

    Had dinner last night. They take no reservations for parties less than 6, so we arrived around 5:45pm (they open at 5:30 for dinner) and all the patio tables were already taken, so we settled for a nice table inside, upstairs by the bar with a nice big window looking out. Our waiter was also one of the bartenders and he was nice, polite and friendly We got some drinks and dinner. The food overall was ok, but could had been better. The pasta rosso was extremely salty, the sauce, corn and vegetables in the entree were nice and fresh but the level of salt was very high. The swordfish was a small filet nicely browned in a lemon conserve. The pork chop schnitzel was a nice piece of meat, with a nice crispy breading but tasteless meat on the inside...had to keep dipping the meat in the mustard aioli to get any flavor out of every bite. Overall a nice setting, the food could be improved.

    Shrimp Pasta
    Tessa B.

    Everything was amazing, service was super attentive, and definitely eat on the patio. The shrimp pasta was probably my favorite dish even though I thought tempura and pasta sounded weird as a combo, it was the best thing anyone ordered. Also get the mussels and foccacia to start!!

    Meatballs

    Overall a nice lunch experience at Winslow's tavern. As others have mentioned, there is a nice outside seating experience on the front lawn, and of course inside dining. It's been many many years since we've visited this restaurant, and has since changed names. Further, it was nice to see that the interior has been redone and is a bit more modern, bright and airy. Service is very casual, and we had a young attentive server. Prices are about average for Wellfleet, a popular tourist destination. Cocktails were good, but I was a little disappointed with my old fashioned. Lots of crushed ice, bourbon and not much more. It seemed to be missing the ingredients that make an Old Fashioned an Old Fashioned! :-) Focaccia bread is offered for an additional charge, and we were glad we ordered it. Not a traditional Focaccia, a bit dry, but it worked well with the tomato accompaniment. Of the dishes we sampled, the lobster croquettes were a win. Perfectly fried, tasty and had plenty of lobster flavor. The meatball appetizer sounded good, but was a bit bland for my taste. The scallop risotto was a beautiful presentation and tasted good as well. We enjoyed our lunch and will consider returning for dinner on another visit to Wellfleet

    Delighted with an over the top great Sunday lunch we enjoyed today - a seafood medley that's billed as "MIXED SEA PASTA" with scallops, shrimp, mussels, parsley, shallot wine sauce and spaghettini pasta. You will be delighted! We sure were! Very fine in every way, and their service is wonderful! The meal was an 11 out of 10,

    Sangria and House Bread
    Megan W.

    My mom and I were staying in a BnB next door to this place and so decided to come down for dinner our first night. I got the sangria which was fantastic. We got the house made bread which was the best part of the meal, and two entrees. Our server was nice and we sat in the lawn which was a beautiful setting. The next day we wanted something different for dinner but couldn't resist coming back for the sangria and bread and of course some oysters to start our night. If I am ever back in town I would do this again, come to the restaurant for drinks, bread, and oysters.

    Pretty much flawless all around. Being Wellfleet, oysters seemed appropriate so I started with a broiled oyster appetizer: 6 on the half shell. Did not disappoint but maybe the miso chive butter topping was a bit too assertive and next time I'd probably try one of the others: lemon rosemary or tabasco lime. Amusingly served on a bed of beach rocks and seaweed. Careful: those rocks are not potatoes which you might take them for after finishing one of their potent cocktails! (An Islay Old Fashioned: basically the standard, enhanced with a "Laphroig mist", whatever that means. No matter, it was excellent.) Entree: Pan seared cod. Beautifully browned and expertly cooked to perfect just-doneness. There's a lot happening on this plate: 2 kinds of potato they describe as puree (aka mashed) and confit (essentially deep-fried mashed). Not redundant at all, seriously. Also red pepper couli, "torn olives" (torn? getting a bit carried away with the adjectives are we?), harissa aioli, more. A lot to take in. The portion, not so much. My impression is it could have been larger. Honestly though it was adequate and with the variety I took my time eating and thoroughly enjoyed it. If I had one criticism it would be not providing complimentary bread. They did have several options including focaccia with evoo for $5 but I skipped it. Service was flawless. Waitperson was available when needed, knowledgeable, and personable. No unreasonable delays, nor did I feel rushed even though I was dining solo and by the time I finished the patio where I sat was full. (Plenty of room still inside however.) The outdoor seating was in front overlooking the quiet street in a brick courtyard, under a shady oak and surrounded by well-tended greenery. Really nice. I took a look inside and the indoor dining spaces look nice too, with two choices: the dining room and the upstairs bar. (No TV's - a big plus.) For dessert I had the flourless chocolate cake - hoping to erase my nightmarish memory of the atrocity I had the day before at another establishment. Accompanied by a decent espresso. The details are already escaping me but it was a masterpiece. Beautifully plated with at least 2 sauces, blueberries, other things I forgot. The cake was everything a flourless chocolate should be: smooth, dense, bitttersweet, not too moist, intensely chocolatey. Enough? Apparently not: this included a second chocolate item: a bar, sweeter and firmer, more like a milk chocolate, that nicely contrasts with the bitttersweet darkness of the cake.

    You can tell this is a locals spot, and not hard to see why. Good strong drinks, good food, good people. Definitely worth checking out.

    Is this a BYOB resturant?

    No, but there's a full bar and specialty cocktail menu. The wine list is very extensive and will meet pretty much every taste and price point.

    In search of a new seafood shack after breaking up with Arnold's for ethnical reasons, I chose PJ's…read morefor my yearly fix of fried seafood. We ate on the patio on a high top table near a screen window, which was lovely. The biggest advantage over Arnold's is that the joint is BYOB. That's a rare thing in the Cape. The fried cod was flaky, lightly coated, and perfectly fried with an abundant amount of homemade French fries, a roll, and standard fare Cole Slaw. The roll is unnecessary, in my opinion. Missing having onion rings on the menu. Arnold's (and the old Liam's at Nauset Beach) made the best. Condiments are serve-yourself, but you'll have to ask the host for lemon slices. We'll return for fried food but will continue to search other locales. We went back the next night for ice cream and it was just average. $5 for a small scoop in a bowl, we were charged more for a small sundae than what was advertised on the board, and service was very slow. However, the sundae hit the spot and they didn't skimp on the hot fudge and walnuts.

    PJs will always be an institution! Yes they make delicious fried clams and lobster rolls, but don't…read moresleep on their other dinners. We just wanted a light snack because it was a little late in the day. A friendly woman (who I believe was an owner) was training someone and recommended the tuna sashimi dinner. We got that and a cup of their amazing clam chowder and it was perfect. The fish was fresh as was the rice and salads. Later in the week we returned for fried clams, scallops, and a fish dinner which were equally perfect. See you next year!

    Just purchased a take out meal from Caroline's in Eastham MA. Whole Belly clams were fresh and…read moretasty, way more French fries than clams (not unusual for most take out seafood restaurants in the area) cocktails were tasty while we waited for our takeout order, service was excellent, promp and timely. Disappointed that they don't offer live music and happy hour anymore. Still a great spot for fresh seafood in Eastham, but will look for other options in the area that have live music and happy hour options. Happy Summer

    A 4.5 star review, rounded up because the owner was so kind in helping us find the perfect table…read more We showed up at Caroline's as a referral from Connor at our hotel, the Eagle Wing inn. There are multiple different seating options, everything from an outdoor patio to high top bar seats, tables, and the indoor booth seating which is what we selected. The dining room is comfortable, and with open windows it provided a nice breath of fresh air. We started with the seafood sampler, a wonderful combination of fresh and delicious shellfish (clams, oysters, shrimp and a lobster tail). We then split appetizers instead of entrees, having the tuna tartare and the Chatham mussels, both of which were excellent. There was some minor room for improvement - after we were done with our seafood sampler, we sat for about 10 minutes while our server Danielle seemed to be in an enthusiastic conversation with Caroline out in front of the restaurant. It provided for some interesting dinner theater, but with so many other employees standing around, it probably would have been an ideal opportunity for somebody else to chip in and take over. Also, the mussels came in a wonderful wine / garlic sauce - some bread would have been a thoughtful addition to soak up that wonderful broth. Fortunately the quality of the food and the vibe of the restaurant more than compensated for a couple of service issues - we visited in late May, so hopefully by the time this restaurant hits the busy season, they'll have the issues worked out. Overall, I would certainly not hold back from referring this restaurant.
