14 Best Cocktail Bars near Orleans

“Today we were lucky to enjoy Navillus in Orleans. What a great place!!This restaurant is  delight, beautiful, modern, bright and hip. It's a perfect combination of sophistication and yet totally casual, no intimidation whatsoever. The staff was terrific and outgoing. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. The chef is an artist in all aspects of food creation. The food was fabulous. We started with a caesar salad and a beet with goat cheese salad. Although theses salads are often available they were both a cut above. The Caesar was delicatey dressed with generous shaved cheese and in house made croutons. The croutons are delicious, crunchy, well seasoned with a light cheese  taste. We could have eaten a bowl of croutons. The beet salad was gorgeous with a refreshing lightly sweet dressing. The large golden beet slices draped the salad and were accented with deep purple beet slices. The high quality goat cheese was the perfect amount. The beets were cooked perfectly.  Then we had the Cacio e Pepe, which was perfect. We loved the taste and texture of the fresh Bigoli pasta which was tossed with  Parmesan and black pepper. We also had the Pan Seared Halibut. The beautiful thick pan seared halibut was well seasoned and served on sweet corn polenta topped with a mix of asparagus, frisee and pea shoots with pickled red onion. The pickled onion combined with the fresh sweet corn polenta set off a connection of flavors  that was unbelievable.  It"s a dish that will long be remembered. After all this we topped of the meal with Creme Brule and a dish of house made Strawberry ice cream. The Creme Brule was a beautiful rich eggy custard with a thin sugar coating top with a generous amount of homemade whipped cream. I have to say the Creme Brule  was one of the best we've ever had. The strawberry ice cream was like eating the best fresh sweet strawberries in a silky smooth cream form. We strongly recommend this restaurant and hope it will be a permanent fixture in Orleans!“

“Wonderful restaurant....with a large bar area in a separate area.We split a large ceasar salad between 3...it could have fed 4 or more.Scallops were plentiful...Lamb chops were seasoned perfectly....over white beans....and the asparagus was cooked perfectly as well.The steaming bowl was full of seafood over a small amount of pasta. The broth was exceptional as was the service.“

“This is my new favorite restaurant. I don't mean favorite like favorite in Orleans or on the Cape. I mean favorite in Massachusetts. The food-- all of it, and there were seven of us, which is a big party for this small, cozy place-- was excellent. Small plates and bowls, something that made everyone happy from the college vegan-kid to the 79 yo touring (Europe/US) musician. Drinks were also perfect- best caipirinha since Panama. Part of me wanted to keep it a secret, but the better part of me wants the owners to have every success.“

“Our first time dining at the Barley Neck. It was a great find.Our server Peter, was amazing and the food didn't disappoint. Peter was so attentive, friendly and added a wonderful touch to our dining experience .Peter had recommended a popular cod dish on the menu and so glad he did . We appreciated his over and beyond service, even to double check that the cod dish hadn't sold out, since it was a hopping Saturday night.I had the garden salad and pizza special and my husband had the cod dish which we shared. We enjoyed every bite of such a wide spread of delicious flavors. If the night couldn't be any better we had great entertainment from a three member band ! This topped off a ideal and joyful evening. Thank you Peter and the skilled chefs at Barley Neck and great band!“

“Home port is now open for dinner. Casual atmosphere. We had pad Thai with chicken and fish and chips. Both excellent. The fish and chips had two huge pieces of fish, very crisp fries and tasty Coke slaw. The food was piping hot. Server was friendly and attentive.“

“Absolutely love, love, love Las Chidas!! The staff is amazing, all super friendly and knowledgeable. The drinks are all very tasty, one of the best drink menus in the area, which are made with consistently high quality and attention to detail. They also make an amazing spicy skinny margarita which is off menu but so good! The birria tacos are absolutely insane, a must try! If you can make it for lunch the tortas are also great (only available until 4 pm). For a new business they have managed to create an amazing atmosphere! Kudos!!“

“As a New Yorker visiting my family in Eastham , Ma had a great dinner here for the second time tonight, great street corn, very good chicken Sancocho soup, and a great chorizo stew. My brother had an octopus appitzer, chicken tacos& an order of plantains . Excellent service ans nice staff to boot. Please support this local business, you will be glad that you came!“

“YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE!!Hands down best restaurants we visited on vacation. Every dish we ordered was delicious and made to perfection. The most delicious espresso martini I have ever had in my life. Chris you are wickedly talented! We will be back again?“

“An outstanding customer service experience I had at this place. I went to grab a quick dinner and both bartenders and the hostess were working on Friday night was absolutely amazing. Beautiful place, and the food was delicious, I ordered fílet-mignon for my entree and the lime chesscake for desserts. I highly recommended this place. Thanks guys for your amazing service.“

“Service was excellent. Table for 4 in quiet nook of main dining area. Excellent drinks. Duck confit appetizer with pecan/pear/beet salad made an excellent dinner. Cod entree and gourmet meatloaf plus squash soup were also enjoyed. Warm pecan tart with ice cream and chocolate bread pudding were outstanding. A wonderful experience!!“

“Dinner at Viera on Main was a wonderful way to ring in the new year. The prix fixe menu had good selection of delicious items! This is a great neighborhood gem. The menu rotates seasonally... creative, and locally highlighted items The staff were thoughtful & efficient. We will be back next season!“

“One of the most reliable, tasty restaurants in Chatham. Family owned. Best staff. The Buffalo shrimp (not on the menu but if you ask for it, they’ll make it for you) and corned beef hash are to die for. Everything’s homemade and very reasonable $. 10/10 clam chowder as well.“

“I don't understand how the reviews aren't all 5 stars. We had the BEST dinner here! We started with the lobster taco & the pork belly and both of them were to die for. We also got the breaking bread, and it was delicious - a pumpernickel bread with onions embedded, topped with sour cream and swiss- and then all baked together. It was so, so good. For our mains, I got the flatbread of the day and it was an eggplant and tomato sauce topped with mozzarella, linguica, and a mixed greens kale tossed with pesto (from their own greenhouse)! It filled me up SO fast. My husband got the wagyu ragu and he loved it! Service was a little slow but we didn't mind, it was a relaxing dinner! And we left so full and satisfied! (Forgot to take a picture before so I'm posting the aftermath!)“

“We had a great experience at the Rooftop at Pelham! We got calamari, a lobster roll, and fried cod for our app/entrees and they were all very tasty. I also highly recommend the lavender lemon drop martini - so good! You can't beat the view, and the service was wonderful. Definitely recommend!“
