Van Rensselaer's Review

This cavernous, casual family seafood restaurant across from Marconi Station—not too far from the Eastham town line—stands out for its nice mix of traditional standbys (baked-stuffed lobster, prime rib) and more creative offerings. You might start with coconut tempura shrimp with an orange-ginger sauce or steamed littleneck clams with lemongrass-ginger-soy butter. Favorite main dishes include potato-crusted salmon with lobster-butter, and cranberry-orange duck with sweet-potato puree. Lighter and more affordable fare is available from a bistro menu. The restaurant also serves breakfast as well as an excellent Sunday brunch, where you might try smoked salmon Benedict. The same family has run the place since 1968.
