My wife and I stopped of at the Belfry last evening and had a very enjoyable dining experience. The restaurant is set in a desanctified 1901 Catholic Church and it retains much of the original stain galss windows and other decor. It is all done tastefully. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the whole experience of the beautifully appointed... More

This restaurant is located in the beautifully and very tastefully restored building of the former Corpus Christi Church in Sandwich before it moved locations. The stained glass windows and many of the church furnishings are still intact and make for a very special ambiance for eating a special meal of incredibly delicious food. We really loved this place!

The Belfry is an old church and they have retained the stained glass and soaring ceilings. As spectacular as the setting is the food is every bit as good. True gourmet dining in quaint old Sandwich.

Staff and chef were accomodating and attentive to some extensive food allergies without making anyone uncomfortable. We had the Codfish in a smoked... More

Possibly the best meal I have ever had. It was fantastic for dinner. My wife had salmon and I had scallops... absolutely wonderful presentation and taste! Dinner was worth every penny. We look forward to returning. Service was okay. I would have expected a little better service for the price; I must say - but the food definitely made up... More

We had the steak, and the Seafood Risoto. The steak was very good, the seafood risoto - fair (the seafood was cooked very well, but the whole dish lacked flavor) They had a pianist who was very good, but we chose to stay at the bar as the restaurant was just well - churchlike - in that it was soo...

A reurrected Catholic church in the center of the Town of Sandwich. Still has rthe original stained glass windows and much of the woodwork. A little bit tired. Food was good (lunch), but the menu was somewhat limited. I would liked to have had a cup of chowder, but the only thing offered was on the appitizer section at $10.... More
