Great date night with the wife while on vacation. The flatbread was amazing as well as my nashville hot chicken sandwich. And the cocktails were scrumdiddlyumptious. Joe the manager even "managed" to get me a Harvey Wall Banger. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back.

Service was slow. We called right before we got there and asked if there was a wait for 2. She said no, we have two tables open. I said I’ll see you in 2 minutes. We get there, I hate that they have valet and I have no choice in the matter to not use it. So we go inside and ask for a table for two and she has us waiting for 15 min for the table. Then we get to the table, and it’s this tiny thing squished in between two large tables full of people. I couldn’t even pull my chair out without hitting woman behind me. Waitress didn’t come for like 10 minutes. She didn’t really check in with us. I had to ask her for everything. The food was not great at all. $18 crab cake was mush and falling apart but tasted ok. Caesar salad looked like it was thrown on the plate and so sloppy and waaaay over d

Stopped in for the first time in a while only because we knew it was under new ownership. We appreciated the valet parking and all employees were very polite and friendly. Had a couple of good cocktails, not as heavy handed as we like but still good. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and service. Definitely will drop in again.

Chapin’s Bayside is a true summer classic — the kind of spot that instantly puts you in vacation mode. It’s the place to be when the sun’s out, flip-flops are on, and you’re craving something that screams Cape Cod. Their peanut butter mudslides are downright legendary. Rich, creamy, and perfectly boozy — they taste like summer in a glass and are worth the visit alone. However, the $45 lobster roll left much to be desired. While the portion looked generous, it was mostly claw and minced meat, lacking the plump, buttery tail chunks you’d expect at that price point. It didn’t quite deliver the wow factor, especially when compared to what other local spots are serving. That said, the service was excellent — warm, attentive, and upbeat, which definitely added to the experience. Chapin’s still

really loved all the food we had and we ate outside on the patio. It was nice! the crab cake was awesome I loved the sauce and the cucumber and corn sucatash underneath was amazing with it. the calimari had chorizo in it which just added that extraness that was surprising and just delicious. The lobster roll was great the fries were perfect. I didn't really enjoy my margarita but my husband loved his drink and that didn't ruin the experience so still would highly recommend!!
