Wife had very good fish and chips. I had swordfish, the slice was thinner than I was used to and therefore a little dry, just ok. If I go again I would stick to fish cakes or fish and chips. Cheery atmosphere.

We stopped here on a rather horrific day(it was the "manhunt" day in Boston, and to get out of Boston, we had to drive a huge loop around) and we were so ready to stop and eat. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. Our food was delicious(my husband had Beef Stroganoff which he said was fabulous) and I had... More

A family owned restaurant that is popular with the lawyers and workers at the court which is across the street for lunch. Dinner is more of the locals from the village and the food is always good with a great selection.

We have been going to the Dolphin every summer for the past 15 years at least. It is a fairly casual restaurant with a decent sized menu. There is literally something for everyone, and we have never been disappointed by a meal at the Dolphin. It is consistently very good quality food, very fresh. I won't mention the menu items... More

We have a vacation home on the Cape and while there are many, many really good restaurants on the Cape, many of them close during March, just before the beginning of the season. So, we were having a hard time finding a restaurant that was open. We called the Dolphin and it was open so we decided to check it... More

I visited Cape Cod on 14th December with my sister in law and her husband. We found the Dolphin quite by accident but it was the best mistake we ever made. The staff were so friendly and the food was amazing. We ended up eating there two nights running as nothing could top the service and quality of the food.... More

Fabulous was the word of the day. There were 12 of us ladies doing lunch on a beautiful day on the Cape. The ladies were thanking me for the wonderful meals they all had. The service was excellent and the food was superior. I and several others had the hazelnut scallops and another group had the fried oysters. They stated... More

The Dolphin offers an extensive menu with many fresh seafood entrees. The service was excellent, our server was very knowledgeable and offered helpful suggestions, and the food was delicious. And best of all, the prices were moderate.

W had a delicious lunch at the Dolphin. The restaurant is very near the dock for the whale watch. It is definitely worth finding as the food is superior to some of the eating places right next to the dock. The prices were reasonable and the atmosphere very pleasant.
