Cape Sea Grille

Cape Cod


Sit on the glass-enclosed porch of this old sea captain's house and savor some of the Cape's finest seafood. The crispy oysters and the seared lobster with pancetta are justifiably famous. Landlubbers won't be disappointed with steak or lamb. Reservations recommended. Check closing days online (it's open nightly late May to mid-September, closed a night or three outside those months).

Check Facebook for the location of the restaurant's ace summertime food truck, Salt Block, which roves from Harwich Port to Hyannis Harbor and other Cape picnic spots.
