4 Stars: Simple Seafood (by Marcus R.)

I have seen this place for years but have never gone in as they were long queues and I try to avoid places where I will feel rushed. Went there last Friday and had a nice prawn/shrimp salad with a nice dressing. The staff seemed to share witty banter.

PROS:
CONS: Queues

4 Stars: Cape Code Experience (by Milton D.)

This place is a well known hot spot with lines out the door in part due to its very limited seating, but it provides a rare experience that feels a lot like summers spent on the Cape. The staff even remind me of the folks in the seafood markets back East. The seafood is extremely fresh, although somewhat limited in offerings and a bit pricey, but definitely worth a try especially if you can pick a time with no lines. I would return for the bread alone. It also is a fish market where locals pick up something fresh for the bar-b-que. Closed Sundays.

PROS: fresh pure seafood
CONS: long waits and a little pricey for some items
