Mattakeese Wharf

Classic. A local landmark since opening in 1968, this dockside restaurant, with its open-walled perimeter decks overlooking the harbor front and marina, affords some of the best views on the Cape. The nautically themed dining room and lounge are complete with ships wheels, lanterns and a row boat hanging from the vaulted ceiling. Fresh local seafood is a specialty, but steak, chops and pasta also are offered. The best time to visit is at sunset, though there is typically a wait time. Luckily, there are plenty of seats on the deck to watch the sunset. Valet only parking is offered in high season.
