South Yarmouth Area [MA]

[CocoDan]

Need dinner recommendations for Saturday night in the South Yarmouth area, before a concert at the Cape Cod Cultural Center. I’m not at all familiar with this area. Seafood is always best, but open to anything that might be good. Price not a huge issue.
Thanks in advance.
Hope to Enjoy,

Just realised how close Dennis Port is to your venue. The Ocean House is just 4 miles away and dinner there was our most enjoyed meal of the whole three week trip in 2018.

We’d made a reservation on the basis of their interesting fusiony menu which incorporated East Asian dishes along with more obviously American ones (and, perhaps slightly incongrouosuly, pizza). We hadn’t appreciated that it was quite a smart restaurant – the sort of place where old fogeys won’t look out of place if they insist on wearing a jacket. But also the sort of place where someone wearing smart shorts and a polo also won’t look out of place. We like places with that sort of atmosphere – …

That sounds interesting. I’m going to the concert with someone from the area, but I’m not to sure about their taste in restaurants. HA!. I’ll check out their website. By the way, I wear a jacket; they don’t.
Thanks,
