Asa Grille

We visited Asa last Sunday for dinner. What caught our eye was the sign that read $14.95 Lobster Special from 4:30pm-6:30pm, Sunday-Thursday. We arrived at the hostess stand at 6:24pm and asked her if we were too late for the special. She told us we weren't and sat us at our table. Our waitress, Nina did not arrive at our table until 6:33pm. We asked about the special and she told us we were too late. That was only the beginning of what would turn out to be a horrible hour and a half at dinner. Each time the children needed drink refills, she took at least ten minutes to bring them each time. When asking for substitutions for the swordfish, Nina gave me attitude and said she was unsure if the kitchen would do it. She later came back and told me they would, but would charge extra for the substitute of grilled veggies...$4.00. On the same dish when I asked for the whipped potatoes, she said rudely, "You mean mash potatoes?" I told her I was just reading off what they had on the menu, but she didn't seem to care. Our dinner was fare, but overpriced. The yellow fin tuna came with a chili oil that did not compliment the appetizer well at all. When my boyfriend asked for aioli, Nina claimed they didn't have any. He had to end up asking another waiter to bring him some. At the end of the meal, I met Nina inside and while she was getting our bill together, I told her what horrible service we received. I told her about her not getting to our table promptly and not allowing us to order the special, when a couple that were in line after us, sat down and their waitress was able to get them the special. I told her my boyfriend ended up getting the aioli himself (which the restaurant had two types). Nina blamed everyone else but herself. She blamed the kitchen for telling her they didn't have the aioli and the manager for telling her she could serve us the lobster because she came to our table at 6:33pm. The overall service and attitude of Nina ruined our only night for dinner in Cape Cod. Thanks Nina!!

This place is OK.  I went here for drinks and appetizers last night.  

The best part of the meal was the rolls and dipping oil, we were starving so we devoured two buckets of this tasty treat!

My caprese salad was OK, the tomatoes didn't taste home grown or local, more like the grocery store variety.. but the dressing and cheese was good.  My friends like the buffalo wings and bruchetta.  The gin and tonic that I drank was fair.

The staff was friendly and they have outdoor seating as well.

Solid restaurant on main street.  I got the fresh "lobster in the raw" special.  Just a plain old steamed lobster for $14 and it was good and fresh.  We sat outside for dinner, which seemed like a perfect way to enjoy the summer.  The waiter was slow, but really friendly and polite.  I'd recommend this spot if you are on holiday in hyannis.
