Yarmouth House Restaurant

Best and friendliest service I can remember.  We were a party of 8 and there was not a minute that anyone wanted for anything.  Bread and olive oil with herbs were simply dangerously delicious.  The gorgonzola salad was practically a mini-meal - unusual and excellent.  The Lazy Man's Lobster was a treat and the prime rib spectacular.  Chocolate cake was yummy and even the cheesecake was really delicious.  It's not gourmet/fancy but very high quality comfort/Cape cuisine.  

What really stood out was our waitress.  Her service was friendly, patient, and helpful.  Outstanding!

Yarmouth House has excellent food, great service that goes to great lengths to attend to your desires and a wonderful menu with an exceptional dessert cart for your perusal that they bring straight to the table.

The only problem I have ever had with the restaurant is that they pack too many people, too close together. Maybe not only slightly larger tables, but tables spaced further apart, would have been the only difference between me giving them an above average review and an excellent review.

Now for my take on the food:

The baked filet of scrod is cooked well and spiced right, the chicken parm very tasty and of good portion, the stuffing on the baked stuffed filet of scrod is delicious with a little lemon, the salads are always crisp and fresh, along with the bread, the wine selection is ample, the surf and turf, filet mignon is always cooked to perfection (I always order it rare or med-rare) the lobster plates are never scrimped on, the Oysters Rockerfeller are not watery, the brie is cooked from fresh, stuffed mushrooms taste like homemade, luncheon sandwiches are good quality, and the desserts are hard to pass up.

I have never had a bad meal here, in all my years of dining at this fine establishment.

Was Sunday evening, Memorial Day weekend. We were tired driving around, so we decide stop there for dinner. The parking was full, looks like local favorite but not ours. Nice atmosphere, big menu but over priced and not very friendly wait staff. It is so many places to eat in Cape Cod, so if you call yourself "fine dining" you must be much better. The food was kind of boring.  Clam chowder was very average. Lobster Fritters was very deep fried and some kind of tough to chew. They were distasteful. Stuffed Haddock was good. Garlic mussels over pasta was less then average and when the waiter bring the dish, the sauce was spill all over plate (does not it look appetizing). It was a bad dinner. Do not choose a restaurant when you're tired.
