Dolphin Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
So I have recently visited here with my friend and we loved it food was delicious and atmosphere is awesome I feel very much British look but overall it’s so good and staff is super friendly our server was very attentive and helpful i think it’s a very nice restaurant to sit and have a good time with your loved once.
This is a must if you visit the town of Barnstable in Cape Cod. Be ready to pay the price for good food (not extravagant - but more than most family restaurants - well worth the cost). The service is excellent, the food was amazing both times I have visited. Definitely worth every penny. This is such a lovely place to eat and relax. You can’t go wrong with any fish you order.
Inviting atmosphere; attentive and amiable server; excellent food. Constructive critique: the hostess could be a little more welcoming.
Originally came here last year. Enjoyed our meal so much that we drove out of our way this year to make sure we came again. Lunch specials are great. Appetizer portions are exceptionally generous. Amy was our waitress both times, and I can not say enough good things about her service. If you are on Cape Cod, don't miss this hidden gem. It's worth it.
We had an enjoyable dinner at Dolphin. The service was great and very accommodating of my family's gluten-free needs and other requests. The food was excellent, and portions were plentiful. It took slightly long to get our food, but worth the wait. Highly recommend.
Lovely dining experience for my friend and me. Warm and cozy next to the fire. Food very good and nice size portions.
The food was soooo good! Service was great as well. The chowder is delicious and authentic! Nice atmosphere, and they have fresh roses on the tables.
Pure Cape cod eatery. We stopped for a bite after touring around the jail and old blacksmith place up the street. Sadly they were closed, but luckily the dolphin was open!! Exactly what I expected atmosphere wise, the service was excellent and our waitress even gave me a 2nd toothpick when she noticed I dropped mine on the floor. Food was dynamite, can't leave the Cape without lobster and chowder and this place did not disappoint. 10/10 we both loved the food. Can't wait to come back!
