6 Best Seafood Restaurants in Orleans

“What a great surprise. Pass this place several times a month and haven’t stopped until tonight. Clean and good is what I walked away with. The little heated area was a nice surprise as it house would have to eat in our car. Nice bathrooms, free ice water and friendly staff. Will recommend this place to others.“

“We recently stayed at the Orleans Waterfront Inn for a wedding. The hotel is centrally located and a good launching spot to explore the outer cape. The view of the cove from our bedroom was lovely and the wedding reception/ festivities were also great. Everyone working at the inn was very friendly and more than accommodating. The rooms were also clean and comfortable.“

“The Beacon Room is a must do. We ventured upon The Beacon Room last year and had such a great experience that we talked about it throughout the year. We knew when we came back this fall we had to go again. The atmosphere is welcoming, restaurant is cozy and warm. The food.... Amazing. Staff.. amazing. In particular, Brian. We made early reservations for a hi-top (definitely make reservations). We asked if the bar was available when we arrived and it turns out it was.. which is what we hoped for. We had such a great experience with Brian last time, so this was a great surprise. Brian is attentive, personable, listens and very knowledgeable of cocktails and food recommendations. He interacts with customers, knows what they like.. all while handling a full bar. You can also share with Brian what you're thinking of ordering and what appetizer might pair up well with that. He's spot on, too! This year we had the Burrata app.. amazing. Lovely toasted bread with garlic, greens and fresh cherry tomatoes. We ordered the duck (as did I last year) and the NY strip, rare. Both came with the phenomenal Brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. Absolutely fantastic. We each ordered dirty martinis , which were delicious and made perfectly. We will definitely be back next year and will continue to highly recommend The Beacon Room. If you are visiting the cape, we highly recommend you add this gem to your places to visit. You won't be disappointed.“

“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.“

“Great seafood market - Helpful staff. Large variety of fish. We ordered the seafood sausage to go - amazing. Casing was a little tough, but will remove it next time I cook it. The sausage, I believe, was filled with shrimp, scallops and fish. Excellent. They also offered a couple different breads - the multi grain was also excellent.“

“Oysters and haddock were incredible! People are nice and everything looked fresh and well cared for. One fridge where they kept cocktail sauce seemed pretty warm so we passed on that which was too bad but the other fish we got, including a massive piece of halibut was outstanding!“
