Eli’s Tavern is a living record of the history and heritage of The Coonamessett’s Cape Cod tradition, newly renovated and refreshed to reflect the updated Falmouth MA inn. While the new Eli’s feels more contemporary, our Cape Cod restaurant still houses the heart and soul that has made it a community hub for decades.

Saddle up on a stool with one of our legendary bartenders for drinks and our full menu, or bring the crew in for a big family dinner. Our 90-seat dining room can accommodate good sized groups, and our newly opened community room is a perfect event space for larger parties, while never feeling stuffy.

Delight in creative twists to timeless New England classics with local, seasonal ingredients presented in delicious and uncomplicated dishes. So come on in, enjoy our commitment to hospitality and community, and while you’re here, buy a "pint for Eli" — it goes into our communal pool of drinks pre-purchased by everyday benefactors of the bar.

    This place is a gem esp when I go with my elderly parents who are both hard of hearing, nice quiet table, very attentive and accommodating waitress , one of my favorite top secret local places to go for a cozy , unhurried meal.

    We enjoyed everything from the Sunday buffet with the exception of the whitefish. It was a bit mushy and under seasoned. Our waiter was attentive and very courteous. Omelet station did not disappoint and plenty of food options for various tastes.

    Great place. Service and food were excellent. Fully amplified rock band really spoiled the ability to have a conversation with the friends at our table.

    Food is always tasty and consistently good. Really good drink choices that change seasonally. Service is very strong even when, like last night, a wedding was taking place in the main inn. Always a good choice.

    Hey Doreen, We loved having you! Our team looks forward to making your next visit even better, so please come see us again.

    $1 oysters (“buck-a-shuck”) on Thursdays never disappoints.
