Neighbourhood gem
Great for creative cocktails

From July 1st, 1957, there had been two owners of Pates, Cloyde Pate followed by the Gardner family of Chatham. Mr. Pate opened the doors to what would soon become one of Cape Cod’s most beloved restaurants. Once a cozy hamburger and ice cream stand, Pates grew to be a place of celebration, camaraderie, and community. From the bonds staff made during countless summer seasons, to the engagements, anniversaries, birthdays, and family gatherings, Pates has been a backdrop for exceptional moments and people.

We are honored to steward the next chapter of the Pates journey. A renovated space to create new memories and friends, Pates is still that very special place. With careful consideration, we have redefined this Chatham classic and are serving up an experience rooted in the best things in life: great food, good people, and lifelong memories.

Tough night for the wait staff as they were short-handed, but the two servers for the entire restaurant were cool and calm under pressure and the service never missed a beat. Great evening, great food, great atmosphere.

We were at Pates with family from out of town. Our server, Quinn was very attentive and knowledgeable about the wines we were interested in. The food was made to perfection! Everyone enjoyed the Tuna cones.

Food was excellent. The table was very tight and against a wall that opened into another dining area. This made it uncomfortable to sit in for our diner. We are always pleased with the service and dining experience. We will be back again!
