EAST COAST FARE SERVED WITH CENTRAL COAST SUNSHINE
lAuthentic East Coast, West Coast Cool
Owners Adam Lee, Ted Malley, Stephen Leonard and Gary Charbonneau teamed up with Chef Thatcher Mills to bring his Cape Cod-inspired hometown cooking to their family-owned and operated Left Coast eatery.
“Our chef is very particular about the ingredients we use, from the banana peppers in our R.I. Style Calamari to the lobster we use for our Cape Cod Lobstah Roll. There are serious claws in there,” Diaz said.
lDown on The Boardwalk
Surfboards lean against a half dozen pier-inspired pilings which lead to the weather-vane-topped, Cape Cod-style restaurant. Nearby, children play in the sandbox while their adults relax in Adirondackstyle chairs on the boardwalk patio, table-top fires aglow. Gentle coastal breezes ruffle palm fronds and shade umbrellas. Outdoor heaters stand at the ready for evening diners.
lTake-out, Deck Dine, Get Social
Fresh whole Maine lobsters and Fried Clam PoBoys draw return customers. Ahi poke nachos, lobster fondue, and grilled artichokes invite sharing while live music entertains. Relaxed strangers stay awhile, even pick up conversation with neighboring tables, in true West Coast fashion.
“We offer East Coast seafood with that easygoing California vibe, and we’re obsessed with our location in Shell Beach,” said General Manager Sabrina Diaz.
Cape Cod Eatery & Taphouse offers East Coast-inspired fare served with an abundance of Central Coast sunshine. Flavorful, seafood-laden plates are accompanied by 38 self-serve, ontap beers and wines, and the outdoor seating area provides entertainment for the whole family.
