Candlelight flickers off the white-linen tablecloths and dark-wood wainscoting at the Roadhouse Café, a smart choice for a night out. Popular dishes include the roasted pepper-and-goat cheese appetizer and shrimp and basil pesto over linguine. In the more casual bistro and the mahogany bar, you can order from a separate menu, which includes thin-crust pizza as well as burgers and lighter fare. Listen to excellent straight-ahead jazz on Monday night year-round in the bistro. There's a piano bar the rest of the week from early July to early September and on Friday and Saturday in the off-season.

Very enjoyable, but possibly overrated
Posted by capevacationers from Connecticut on 3/15/07
To start, we had a great time at the Roadhouse cafe, and would recommend it to others (though perhaps behind some of the other places we have recently been to at the cape). The food was very tasty, but a bit greasy (not our entrees, but the appetizer sampler was greasier than expected) and presentation was very simple. The waitstaff was very pleasant but not extremely knowledgeable about the wines and menus selections they offered. Atmosphere was somewhat schizophrenic in that it was an elegant dining locale with valet parking and yet had fish and chachkis hanging upon the walls. Value was also good, but not ideal. Particularly the wine list seemed overpriced compared to other restaurants in the area.

Rachel's Right

I saw a review of this restaurant by Rachel Ray on the food channel. She was right, it is a great place. We were there on a busy Friday night in high season and although it was very busy, we had friendly, courteous service. Our food was excellent. From the surf and turf to the oyster rockefellers to the dessert. It is definelty a fine dining establishment and we highly recommend it.
