"Stopped by in person and had clam chowder as a way to fairly judge any seafood restaurant. It was “meh”. Way too heavy on the potato, minimal clams, and very thin. Service and atmosphere are outstanding! But it was close by to where we were staying so I called the next day to place a pickup order. Ordered on the phone and the employee tells me that they add a 15% gratuity to pickup orders. Needless to say; this is exceptionally unusual and off-putting. So I politely said that I’d like to cancel and look elsewhere. And the employee had the audacity to say: “seriously, dude?”. Maturity got the better of me, and I immediately hung up, instead of getting into an argument. But that lame food, extortionate pricing, and rude staff made me come here and leave this negative review. Too bad, this place could be amazing. Just poor management is all."

Went to dinner Saturday night. Friendly bartenders, quick service. Had swordfish tips and the sauce was amazing. The swordfish was fresh and tender. Will definitely go back.

We've found the Dolphin to be a reliable choice for lunch. The food is typically good, prices are fair, and the service is quick. However, the decor feels a bit outdated, and the dining room has a dark and gloomy atmosphere. The men's restroom seems to be from a bygone era.

The place was very upscale with a coastal feel. The staff was very friendly and attentive, especially our waitress Linda. I didn’t feel rushed and the food was magnificent. The choices were fair and the quality was beyond my expectations for such a small, local establishment. You wont be dissapointed!

We were kind of late on Sunday after our whale watching. We arrived at 8:20 they stop serving at 8:30 but they let us in. I had a delicious Scallops and Risotto meal and my sister had the half chicken that literally fell apart from being so tender. We had homemade bread and a salad too. Very good and fast meal.

Absolutely amazing experience. The owner or manager met us from behind the bar. He was so welcoming. Once seated our waitress met us with the best friendly attitude. The food was out of this world. Had the scallop casserole which was the best I've ever had. Cannot wait to come back!!! Oh and the huckleberry lemonade was amazing!!!

This is a fantastic restaurant with exceptional service. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Cape for the first time, just like I did. I thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp and cod cakes; I'd never tried them before, but this was definitely the best place to find them. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is overall delightful.

Just ok for everything... geared for 70+ crowd. Portions kind of small considering price and no extras like a salad. Menu very basic...meat, starch, veggie..nothing interesting. Service was slow ..long gaps without seeing waitress. We asked if she went home before we could order ! The decor was classic Old New England which is welcomed .. just wish the food was updated.

The steak was overcooked. Prices are way overpriced for the food that you get there was a lobster corn meal. Could not taste the lobster. Again scalps or perfectly, but there was no taste of Lobster at all. Service was great. And my drink unfortunately was made wrong. They mixed the Baileys with a different kind of vodka and a coagulated, it was like drinking cottage cheese.

If you're visiting Barnstable in Cape Cod, this restaurant is a must-try. Be prepared to spend a bit more than typical family restaurants, but the quality of the food makes it worth the price. Both times I've been here, the service has been outstanding and the meals were incredible. It’s definitely worth every penny. This lovely spot is perfect for a nice meal and some relaxation. You can't go wrong with any fish dish you choose.
