About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighbourhood gem
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.

    We had a wonderful time at Pate's. It was our first time dining there, and our waitress Kate was very attentive. We started with the Beet Carpaccio Salad and Chatham oysters—both I highly recommend. I had the Pate's Signature Scallops ( a new dish on the menu) served tableside "smoked"—with an incredible flavor and presentation. My husband had the Brown Sugar Salmon—absolutely perfect. Both are new dishes on the menu, and we highly recommend them. The wine selection is vast and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable helping you decide. We cannot wait to go back!

    A friend recommended Pate’s. It has an Incredibly interesting menu and options. Our server Amy was fantastic. Cocktails were perfect - duck tacos and tuna cones amazing. The smoked scallops, seafood pasta, seared tuna and maple soy pork chop were all amazing. Cooked to perfection and served with flair. Shared desserts. Great evening and highly recommend Pate’s.

    We go quite frequently, we were also there last weekend. This weekend we took my daughter and her fiancé, the food was good but the steak was a little tough. The drinks which was the Santa margarita pino didn’t taste well, the waitress assured us that it was freshly opened but it had a funny taste. She took it off our bill, my future son in law had an after dinner espresso martini and that did not taste well, he didn’t finish it . All and all the food was good, we enjoy coming here but this time it wasn’t up to par!

    Food was great as usual. However our dinner was served within about 5 minutes of ordering, making us feel very rushed. In fact we were served bread as the meals were being set on the table. We were celebrating my mother-in-law’s 84th birthday so were trying to make a night of it. Fast service is great at a pub, but not here.
