I had a boiled lobster - really good (and reasonably priced)!!! The blackened tuna sashimi was literally melt-in-your-mouth! The son had a shrimp pasta dish, and loved it. The bread they brought out was good. Service was great. Walking through Provincetown was a treat. Nice visit!!!Sounds like it was a nice visit to Provincetown and we're happy to be a part of it!

My wife and I were roaming the main street in Provincetown for a place to have dinner one night and came upon Jimmy's HideAway, this small pub-like restaurant tucked into a side alleyway. It had a wonderfully cozy atmosphere, fantastic and friendly service, and incredible food. My wife had a burger and I had this lobster scampi pasta dish and both were amazing. It was a great find and we highly recommend it.

Reviewed By MJPBAF

We decided to try Pilgrim House again this year after a so-so meal last year. We’re glad we went back. The food this year was good and the service was very attentive (with the chef coming out to confirm a gluten allergy and personally changing a dish to make sure it was okay to eat). As with other spots in town, the menu is somewhat limited, but there should be enough options for most people to find something tasty. We ate outside in the somewhat uninspired patio area (it needs a bit more furnishings to make it more attractive), but there is also a pleasant-looking dining room inside as well. The location in the East End near the center of town is very convenient – this would be a good spot for a pre-show dinner if you’re going to see Miss Richfield 1981 or others who perform at the Pilgrim House regularly.Hello and thank you so much for your review and for coming back and the 2nd chance. We sincerely appreciate it and hope to see you again....All the best.

Joon Bar + Kitchen

Reviewed By GaryG943

Based on T.A. reviews and comments from fellow travelers, we had perhaps too high expectations of Joon Bar+Kitchen. Though the end-dishes as prepared by the chef were very good, we met with the following problems, described in the order they occurred:- the young man pouring water at our table seemed distracted and twice spilled water on the table.- the bread/rolls served were very boring- the cheese plate ordered as an appetizer was also boring. As with wine, people have different tastes, so the chef cannot be faulted - but the presentation was in any event lackluster, served only with honey.- my partner had stressed very clearly that he wanted his steak prepared rare, but it was not served rare. Ultimately, the server advised that the chef agreed and a new steak would be prepared. This of course meant that I had to eat my dish alone while a new dish was prepared for my partner. It was clear when the new steak arrived that the side dishes had not been changed. The owner/manager did not approach with an apology. It was not a pleasant situation, nor expected of a restaurant of this caliber. Though we ultimately enjoyed the prepared dishes out of the kitchen, we left rather disappointed in the experience as a whole.

Relish

Nestled in the quiet, residential neighborhood of Provincetown's west end, Relish is a convenient stop on the way to the beach. Relish is a bakery and sandwich shop. A selection of breakfast sandwiches, coffee cakes, muffins and scones for the early birds

Reviewed By L B

This little neighborhood deli offers great sandwiches, fresh baked goods, prepared salads and so forth, but all of it comes with a generous serving of attitude, and a hefty price tag, which drops my rating considerably. Despite really good, upscale food, I'd rather eat elsewhere nearby, spending less cash two or three blocks closer to the center of town in a great little deli where the food is great and each customer is valued, and treated like family.

Reviewed By Wanda R

It was a beautiful day and we were able to eat outside. Nice outdoor seating. The interior was very attractive also. You can still see the water from the inside. Service was fine. Nothing outstanding. I'm not sure who was our server as several people kept stopping in for one reason or another. Maybe because our guy was new??? I was envious of other tables who had a server with personality. If you're going to be in the service industry make sure you like being around people. We each had a lobster roll which was a substantial serving. Very light tasting was what my hubby said. Which was correct. We also each had a sangria which went down smoothly. Overall it was a nice experience. I would call it a classy beach dining experience. A special treat to give yourself. With prices being pretty comparable around town you might as well give yourself a special experience.
