“ Is a gem of a place The food was absolutely delicious. The service was fantastic Highly recommend The menu was very interesting and what we had was really good ”
“ Very nice upscale dining experience in the heart of Chatham. Pre game at the Squire and head over to this restaurant for an excellent meal. The clam chowder is probably the best in Chatham, having tried many places in town. Also had a striped bass and lobster dish over rice that was sublime. ”
“ Highly reccomended if you're staying in Chatham. Seems like reservations go pretty quick so if you're planning ahead (or have more than two people) definitely try to make a reservation. We walked in (bar seating only for walk ins) and put our name down. We were told about 45 minutes. By the time we parked the car at our hotel and walked back we waited about 15 minutes. So worth the wait. We shared an app from the specials - Thai crab cake. It combined interesting elements (crab cake, coleslaw, thai curry, and shoestring fries) that went so well together. I got the lobster ravioli from the specials. One of the best seafood pasta dishes I've ever had. The vodka sauce was creamy and they don't skimp on the scallops, shrimp, and big pieces of juicy lobster. Husband had the first dish on the main entree menu (something Diablo) he loved it. The drinks (husband got a dirty martini and an espresso martini) and mocktail (not too sweet - refreshing) were also spot on. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice. I actually really liked the vibe at the bar. Again would definitely recommend. ”
“ Happy to finally try this restaurant right next to the park. We had drinks, apps and entrees but no room for dessert. The apps were fine but not memorable. The star of the night was the special shrimp, scallop on lobster ravioli. Nice atmosphere and service. I would definitely come back. ”
“ Walked in Friday nite at 7 was seated right away w no reservations. It was off season may 17th. Beautiful live edge wood bar. Simply amazing mocktail With alcohol free gin. Yay. I had the arancini so yummy n gooey and delicious risotto at its best --2 to a serving. and the special roasted oysters stuffed w crab meat. 4 per portion. super delicious. we both agreed this was the best meal of the trip so far. ”
“ SERIOUSLY wonderful lunch. The food is FANTASTIC! My husband had the scallop sandwich and it was perfect in every way! I had the bang bang shrimp lettuce wraps - SO GOOD! And the lunch prices, given its Chatham are not scary (well not too scary) with decent portions and lovely service! ”
“ I would definitely come back! Had a reservation for Thursday evening. Service was kind and accommodating so special requests / modifying dishes slightly. Nice ambiance inside. Lighting is quite dim, but that was fine for us. My filet, lobster tail, asparagus and Parmesan risotto were delicious. Was also craving oysters from the raw bar and they were such a treat. Definitely a must go nice dinner option on the Cape! ”
“ We stopped in here after searching, high and low for the best clam chowder in the Cape. This place was highly recommended, and it did not disappoint. The clam chowder was some of the best we had while visiting the Cape. All the staff was friendly enough, the restaurant could definitely use some updates. It's extremely old with creaky old chairs and booths. I got the scallop sandwich and the daily side dish. The sandwich was fantastic! I ended up eating the inside and leaving the bread because I felt like it was too much. The pasta side dish was average and I probably wouldn't get it again. We will definitely come back for the chowder! ”
“ One fine night on the cape my friend and I drifted along the coast like dreary travelers looking for a comforting meal and ambiance. A quick yelp search brought us to Impudent Oyster - a classy, mahogany themed restaurant nestled to the side of main street Chatham. We walked in to a buzzing scene. Dimly lit, classy decor and busy. This is a great place for a classy dinner with friends or a date. We promptly seated ourselves at the bar after a small 15 min wait. The bartender quickly served us drinks. The oysters Rockefeller were calling my name and I immediately ordered those, and am I glad that I did. These are some of the best charbroiled oysters I've ever had. The filling was generous, buttery and delicious with chunks of seafood. They are served on a bed of hot rock salt which I believe only helps their savoriness. An absolute dream. I was on the fence about what to get for my entree and on the bartender's recommendation went for the braised short rib. This dish was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. The beef was braised so beautifully, in a red wine reduction on a bed of potatoes with perfectly charred winter vegetables like carrots and parsnip, but the real magical element were the onion rings adding sweetness and crunch to the whole dish. We also met some old timers and learned this restaurant is nothing short of a Chatham institution. If you are in the cape, please come here and have some wonderful food! ”
