   From the moment we approached the host stand and were not greeted promptly while just standing there waiting for instructions to our waitress who walked around with a water pitcher and never once refilled our glasses, this was a SUBPAR Christmas dining experience. Waited for a specific type of seating, only for that table to be given away to people with later reservation times than ours. Waitress attempted to serve table next to ours (who arrived after us) and confirmed with THEM that we were indeed there first. We ordered cold appetizers (oysters and ceviche) that didn’t arrive at our table until we were well into our hot meal. Waitress realized her mistake and asked if we were mad at her and nothing about taking the food away. The only redeeming qualities that this place offered were an exceptional bartender and delicious food. If you do not present a certain way, you will easily be ignored and overlooked. If you enjoy passive-aggressive treatment and inferior service, then this is the place for you!

   The location and view were lovely. The food was good but somewhat over salted, For Christmas they had a prime rib special which wa tasty. Our server was only adequate but then she was working on Christmas so was probably unhappy.

   The view from the dining room is AMAZING-one of the best dining views on the Cape, imo. The food is delicious-I had the caramelized endive salad with a lovely citrus dressing, and the fish stew, which had clams, potatoes and a big piece of perfectly cooked monkfish surrounded by a briny, buttery broth. Finished the meal off with a lemon tart which was nice and sharp-only complaint there was the graham cracker crust was a bit too thick. All in all a great meal…will definitely be back.

   Prime Rib was extremely tough and not worth the price. Service was fine, and a beautiful view.

   We went for dinner last Saturday after the Falmouth Christmas Stroll and the food and service were excellent. It was dark outside so did not get to enjoy the ocean views but I’m sure they are beautiful. Our server Ashlyn was very bubbly and friendly (as were all the staff). The ravioli with butternut squash and poached cranberries was outstanding! One of the most delicious restaurant entrees I’ve ever had. The carmelized endive and pear salad was delicious and different. My husband had the short rib and loved it. Portion sizes were very good. The restaurant was fairly empty but it was December and slow season. The bar area was lively though. This restaurant far exceeded my expectations and I would definitely return.

   We went for the Thanksgiving buffet. The food was excellent! We were seated overlooking the ocean. Our server was very nice and responsive to our requests. We will return and try the non- holiday experience!

   Food was delicious and the service was great. We were the only ones in the restaurant as it was early on a Monday night.

   View of the sunset was lovely. Service was efficient. Quality of food was poor. Considering the quality was poor, we felt that it was not good value for money.

    Alas the restaurant at the Sea Crest Hotel is uninspiring. Blessed with stunning views of the ocean this could be wonderful but the food is pedestrian. At dinner the mussels were poor, very tiny, dry with a 'tapenade toast' - spread with so much garlic it was inedible. Overpriced for the quality and quantity, wipe clean tables... Very disappointing. At breakfast the hostess was one of the rudest and most unfriendly staff I've ever come across. The selection was poor, only apples and oranges by way of fruit, not even a banana to be had. The best thing about the place was our server at dinner, Steve, and the cheery Elken who whipped up fresh omelettes in record time with a ready smile.
