Just, don’t come here. Your money is better spent elsewhere. Food is just ok but for the price tag it is actually (below) average. Service was decent but not exceptional; when you get the check be prepared to pay for the food, tip for the service right, because why would servers be paid living wages by their employer, and also cover the transaction cost as well. As a customers you bring your business here. But it’s merely not enough so the restaurant owner wants you to pay for the privilege to pay them unless you bring all cash.

Great seafood. Not cheap but amazing seafood ain't cheap. Super Clam chowder starter. And the swordfish could cut it with a butter knife.

Food quality wasnt great. Portions small. Service average. This place used to be great. Always stopped when on the Cape but it's gone downhill. Disappointed.

We like to visit the Black Cat.We opened the season with an early lunch. Fabulous fresh food and wonderful bar serviceIn the summer they have a lively outdoor scene. On a stormy night in the winter the inside bar is our refuge of choice. The food is very well prepared. We had some excellent Barnstable oysters today. The lobster bisque is divine. The seafood is very fresh.Stopped by for a late season early dinner and martini. Friendly crowd . Great service.

Great place, great food with amazing service. From the menu I had the cornmeal crusted day boat cod from the harbor section. It was so goooood and tasted so fresh. Everything was amazing and will definitely be coming back!
