If you want to feel as if you are
floating at land’s end—without getting
wet, Fanizzi’s Restaurant by the Sea (539
Commercial St., Provincetown; 508-487-
1964) offers the opportunity to dine in a
“sea-weathered house” with Cape Cod
Bay outside the window. Fanizzi’s classic
seafood dishes and international entrées
can be enjoyed for brunch, lunch or
dinner.
The aptly named Ocean House (421
Old Wharf Rd., Dennisport; 508-394-
0700) feels like the interior of an elegant
ocean liner. Crisp white linens and
warm, flickering candles dress the tables
that look out directly over Nantucket
Sound, just steps away. Serving dinner
only, the Ocean House offers innovative
Pacific Rim cuisine in a stunning yet
casual setting.
From a low-key lunch to an upscale
dinner, Cape Cod presents a variety of
waterfront dining options scattered
along its shores. Each restaurant has
something different to offer patrons.

RAW BARS
Surrounded as it is by water, Cape
Cod offers fresh seafood in
abundance. And local restaurants
offer many ways in which to enjoy
these tastebud-tantalizing fruits of the
sea: fried, baked, broiled and raw.
Cape Cod is home to many raw
bars—a seafood purist’s dream. Raw
bars serve freshly shucked oysters and
clams, either by the piece or in
medleys including tuna, shrimp and
lobster. Locals will tell you, renowned
Wellfleet oysters are best enjoyed in
their natural state with a touch of
mignonette or cocktail sauce.
Here is a sampling of the many raw
bars Cape Cod has to offer. For more,
