This fine dining restaurant inside the luxury, oceanfront Chatham Bars Inn resort might just be the best place to eat on Cape Cod. Try the local scallops with potato pave and charred beans, the poached lobster with asparagus and arancini, or the wagyu strip loin with creamed spinach and brown butter hollandaise. All the vegetables come from the resort’s own farm in Brewster, the fish is caught every day, and the dining room has spectacular views of the Atlantic.

All of that makes this the perfect dinner spot when you want to splurge on your friends for letting you stay at their summer house, or for a fancy date night with the person you split the rent with back home.
