Introducing Our Summer Menu: Fresh Flavors of Cape Cod

We're thrilled to unveil our new summer menu, featuring the freshest local ingredients from Cape Cod farms and fisheries. Our culinary team has been working tirelessly to create dishes that celebrate the season's bounty and showcase the best of New England summer flavors.

As the warm weather arrives on the Cape, we're embracing the abundance of local produce and seafood that makes summer dining in Hyannis so special. From our new lobster roll made with freshly caught Maine lobster to our refreshing watermelon and feta salad with mint, each dish tells a story of summer in New England.

Signature Summer Dishes

Our executive chef, Michael O'Connell, has drawn inspiration from the coastal surroundings to create a menu that highlights both traditional Cape Cod favorites and innovative new creations.

Lobster Roll

We're particularly proud of our new lobster roll, made with generous portions of freshly caught Maine lobster, lightly dressed in a lemon-herb aioli, and served on a buttered, toasted brioche roll. Served with hand-cut fries and our signature coleslaw, it's the taste of summer on a plate.

Watermelon & Feta Salad

For a lighter option, our watermelon and feta salad combines sweet, juicy watermelon with creamy feta, fresh mint, and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. Topped with toasted pumpkin seeds for crunch, it's the perfect refreshing summer starter.

Grilled Swordfish

Our signature grilled swordfish features a thick cut of locally caught fish, marinated in lemon, garlic, and herbs, then grilled to perfection. Served with summer vegetable ratatouille and lemon-infused quinoa, it's a healthy and flavorful option that captures the essence of coastal dining.

New Cocktail Menu

No summer menu would be complete without refreshing cocktails to match. Our beverage director, Sarah Jenkins, has created a selection of seasonal drinks that complement our new dishes perfectly.

Cape Cod Berry Smash

This vibrant cocktail features local blueberries and raspberries muddled with fresh mint and lime, then mixed with vodka and a splash of soda. It's fruity, refreshing, and perfectly balanced.

Hyannis Harbor Breeze

Our take on the classic sea breeze cocktail combines Cape Cod cranberry vodka with fresh grapefruit juice and a splash of lime. Served over ice with a salted rim, it's the perfect companion for a sunny afternoon on our patio.

Supporting Local Producers

We're committed to supporting our local community by sourcing ingredients from Cape Cod farms and fisheries whenever possible. This summer, we're proud to partner with:

• Sandwich Family Farm - providing fresh vegetables and herbs
• Chatham Fisheries - supplying daily fresh catches
• Barnstable Berry Farm - for our summer berries
• Falmouth Creamery - providing artisanal cheeses

By sourcing locally, we not only ensure the freshest ingredients but also reduce our environmental impact and support the local economy.
