My wife and I have a vacation home on the Cape and although there are many, many good restaurants on the Cape, many of them are closed in March before the season begins. We were going to be heading off Cape and were looking for a restaurant for an early dinner. We called the Daneil Webster and they were open... More

Thank you for such a great review! We try to offer items like our "demi menu" to satisfy those who are looking to eat smaller portions or have room to try a special appetizer or dessert. It's great to hear you both enjoyed the Three from The Sea and that there was enough for you to split! (Isn't it nice... More

Food is great! But has an interesting experience trying to substitute onion soup for lobster bisque on the lobster sandwhich/soup meal, although the onion soup was cheaper then the lobster chowder we were charged for both the chowder and the onion soup because there were no substitutions allowed! Seems that an establishment of this quality would be somewhat more flexible... More

A true New England Tavern with terrific food (perfect) attentive wait-staff and a place to meet and chat. Have been going to "the Daniel" for many years for special occasions in the conservatory but, love the Tavern for the informal get-togethers.

We finally decided to try the Daniel Webster Tavern and found everything to be top shelf. We dropped in without a reservation and were warmly greeted and after a very brief wait seated for dinner. The menu is expansive and has something for everyone's taste from salads to gourmet pizza to typical entrees. Karin, our server, was delightful and handled... More

Dining in The Tavern was a great experience. The menu has lots of choices, the wine list is excellent, and the service couldn't be better. The venison in particular was spectacular.

This restaurant seems to have continually go downhill over the past few years. The last time we went will be the final time. The wait staff did not know much about anything on the menu, in spite of reservations, we had a 1/2 hour wait. My brother, who is deaf, but verbal, was treated rudely by the waitress who wold...

We have eaten at the Tavern many times. The food is always good and the service top notch. We have eaten in the restaurant, the tavern and at the bar and don't have a bad thing to say.

A group of 8, dined at the tavern. Atmosphere is excellent, surrounding area is beautiful, service was decent, and the restaurant is obviously extremely popular. I hated it. First of all we arrived for an early dinner at 4:45 and were never offered the early menu advertised on line. We ordered drinks and my Bloody Mary was decent. Wait staff... More

Four of us met for dinner at the tavern last night. We had the perfect evening getting together with old friends. We were able to sit at the table and talk, without feeling pressured to get in and out. We ate the wok salmon, the three from the sea, and the poached lobster, everything from apps to desserts, were delicious.... More
