Jimmy's HideAway

Being a vegetarian with limited option at this place, didn’t disappoint me as whatever we ordered was perfectly fine and tasty. Our server was very kind and helpful with items we ordered. We got watermelon caprese as an appetizer and main course we had tofu napoleon and scallops piccata for my boyfriend. We both loved this place. Love their wines and cocktails. I would recommend this place with reservations else you might not get it during weekends.

Make sure to get reservations in advance, otherwise you won’t get a seat. The service was very good and their attention to detail was outstanding, other than not getting asked for a second drink at dinner. Lobster pasta was pretty good, but the cod was pretty flavorless. The wedge salad was really good and the desserts were outstanding, especially the key lime pie.

True to its name, this cute, homey restaurant is tucked away even in the midst of the bustling Commercial St. The steps down leading to a small reception area only add to its exclusivity. Despite all of that, it’s well attended by locals and people in the know. During peak season, it’s almost impossible to get a table without a reservation. At its worst, you’ll need reservations weeks in advance for a weekend dinner. You can try your luck with bar seating but even that is limited when they’re at peak times. On to the food. You can never go wrong with their oysters which they get from their neighboring town of Wellfleet. The spring roll appetizer is also surprisingly delicious. It doesn’t quite match their menus’ palate but, nevertheless, it’s tasty. Their Fisherman Stew is packed with tons of seafood flavor - make sure to ask for extra bread to sop up that sauce! The Scallop Piccata is perfectly cooked with a nice sear on the surface and a creamy, velvety texture on the inside - my only complaint is that there’s not more! Lastly, my go to is the chunky piece of Grilled Filet Mignon which is always perfectly cooked. It comes with a very rich au poivre sauce generously drizzled over the meat and the creamy mashed potatoes. They have an extensive list of wine and make some excellent cocktails (their dirty martini comes with blue cheese olives and don’t sleep on their espresso martini). (PS. Lastly, I almost don’t want to disclose this but on Sundays, they offer $1 oysters. Now, I’m not a fan of raw oysters but their $1 oysters are grilled and swimming in a delicious buttery, spicy sauce that compliments the salty, briny freshness of the oysters.)
