Dining and Unique Venues

From the moment you cross the bridges onto Cape Cod and get a whiff of our salty air, you will sense how the sea permeates this locale. Savor the tantalizing flavors of the Cape and Islands over steaming lobsters, succulent steamers, sweet scallops, Wellfleet oysters, tasty mussels and our incomparably fresh catch of the day.
Cape and Islands’ cuisine has come a long way. While traditional New England fare is still widely available and at its best, it has been joined by innovative American, authentic Italian, exciting Asian, and classic French cuisine. Many restaurants offer live entertainment, from Irish music to jazz. Some offer private function rooms for groups from 15 to 150. For larger events, there are many historical and interesting venues throughout the area. From historical homes to waterfront ballrooms, to events on the ocean, you can find the perfect setting for your function on the Cape and Islands. Local professional caterers have access to the Cape’s freshest ingredients. For a corporate outing, wedding reception, rehearsal dinner or alumni gathering – the most fitting Cape Cod function can be a catered clambake on the beach.
Organize a wedding feast on a deck built over the water or in the round Shaker barn of a local museum. Celebrate with fine champagne and candlelight - or at a wooden table with a plastic bib around your neck. From cocktails in the parlor of a former sea captain’s residence, to hors d’oeuvres beneath a tent by the sea, lunch in an 18th century tavern, or afternoon tea at a Victorian inn – the Cape has your perfect venue.
