My husband and I really enjoyed our visit to the Dolphin. The food was delicious. I got the chicken piccata and my husband got the lobster pie. The drinks were also good. Our server was very attentive and the vibe was very cozy and relaxing. We will definitely be back.

Old World Charm in a beautiful sophisticated setting. Our waiter Milan was terrific. Very informative and helpful with the wine list and specials.

Pure Cape cod eatery. We stopped for a bite after touring around the jail and old blacksmith place up the street. Sadly they were closed, but luckily the dolphin was open!! Exactly what I expected atmosphere wise, the service was excellent and our waitress even gave me a 2nd toothpick when she noticed I dropped mine on the floor. Food was dynamite, can't leave the Cape without lobster and chowder and this place did not disappoint. 10/10 we both loved the food. Can't wait to come back!
