Water Street Kitchen

The Water Street Kitchen was such a great surprise. The service was absolutely phenomenal and the atmosphere was classic Cape Cod. Our cocktails were spot on—my wife had the Naked & Famous and I had the Last Word. We shared the Black Bass to start, which was perfect for two and tasted incredible. For entrées, I had the Halibut and she had the Sea Scallops—both were outstanding and we cleaned our plates. Dessert was just as good with the espresso martini roll and homemade Cookies n’ Cream ice cream. Everything from start to finish was amazing. We’ll be back. Highly recommend!

Wow! It has been quite a while since we’ve been blown away by a meal like our dinner at Water Street Kitchen. Service was impeccable and everyone seemed so happy to be representing the restaurant. Each dish had different levels of flavor and the ingredients were extremely fresh. We especially loved the heirloom tomato appetizer, haddock, scallops, homemade ice ream and galette. We drove a hour to dine were and our experience made the trip worth it. Definitely check out if you get the chance.

Water Street Kitchen is a foodies paradise: so many great and subtle flavours - you cannot pick your favourite dish. A group of 4 of us went for dinner - which was great as we decided to share and really got to sample the menu. I really did love the the scallops and carpaccio the best - and the cocktails are amazing. A gem at Woods Hole that you should not miss!

The food itself was decent, but absolutely not worth the price given the poor service. Initially we were excited they added a table for our four legged doggo. Sadly the hostess was the best part of Water Street. A hair was found in the Arctic char. While they did remove the dish from the bill — which we appreciate — the replacement took just as long to arrive as the original, and they left the same silverware that had been used on the contaminated plate. For the high prices, you expect at least competent service. Sadly, that was not the case. Between the long wait to clean dirty dishes, lack of attention, and hygiene concerns, this place just isn’t worth it. There are better spots nearby — go there instead.

We always reserve early each summer for our visit to the Cape. The haddock entree is back on the menu and is delicious (but $45!). The steak carpaccio was also very good. Be prepared to break the budget.
