SEASONAL RESTAURANTS
As we end our High Season here on Cape Cod there
are several restaurants that should be considered to taste, experience
and dine at before they close for the season... usually just before the
start of winter. So hurry up and taste, munch and dine at these establishments.
We have also listed some new additions to the REVUE, some along the Atlantic
shore line on the way to Cape Cod.
Scallops Beurre Blanc, Panzarotti, Seafood Fra Diavolo, Shrimp, Clams,
Mussels Neapolitan...
can satisfy your taste for Italian fare along your journey to the outer
Cape. SERANA'S is located conveniently on Route 6 , South Wellfleet
for over 20 years and I must say the Scallops are Wellfleets finest , broiled
with lemon-wine and served with beurre blanc (called white butter, a classic
sauce, shallots simmered in wine vinegar, reduces to a tart essence; then
butter is whisked in). You must try Serenas world famous seafood fra diavolo
(very spicy) with mussels, little necks, Wellfleet oysters, scrod, sea
scallops, squid and jumbo shrimp served in a marinara sauce. The accompaniment
of the Panzarotti is just right for soaking up the sauce, this is folded
focaccia bread, stuffed with fresh tomato, cheese and basil. Opened from
May to November, serving dinner only. (508) 349-9370
Rack of Lamb, Prime Rib, Roast Chicken, Roast Leg of Lamb, Lobster
Lasagna.....
adds up to traditional fare at this 50 year old restaurant, CAPTAIN
WILLIAMS HOUSE in Dennisport. The Lobster Lasagna will be back on the
menu next Spring.....mouthwatering until then....for the chunks of lobster
meat, lobster sauce, fresh spinach and ricotta cheese layered between fresh
pasta served atop tomato basil coulis (pureed sauce). Roasted chicken filled
with fresh spinach, prosciutto , mozzarella, sun-dried tomato and served
with a red wine sauce. You will enjoy the polenta served with the Roast
Leg of Lamb entree, and the sides of tomato fondue served with a red wine
sauce. Return to enjoy the Rack of Lamb, a real treat. Opened from early
Spring to November. Dinner Only. (508) 398-3910
Linguine with Baby Artichokes, Gorgonzola Crusted Tenderloin of Beef,
Black Pepper Couscous Crusted Native Tuna, Paella...
are just a sample of the 20 or so entrees at the TWO TURTLES RESTAURANT
in the historic Chatham Town House built in 1881. The Linguine is accompanied
with pancetta, black olives, roasted garlic and fresh picked herbs from
their garden. Save room for the Gorgonzola Crusted Tenderloins, in a merlot
sauce with garlic Anna potatoes and sautéed with seasonal vegetables.
The Two Turtles Paella is my favorite....sautéed mussels, clams,
shrimp, salmon, squid chicken and chorizo (pronounced chor-EE-zoh) a Portuguese
sausage , highly seasoned , coarsely ground pork sausage flavored with
garlic, chili powder.) sparks the flavor of this house speciality. 0pened
Spring till October. Dinner nightly. (508) 945-1234.
By the way.....if you are looking for Portuguese Sausage may
I suggest
the NEW BEDFORD LINGUICA CO. on 56 Davis Street, this 75 year
old plant has been producing the finest linguica and chorizo for supermarkets
throughout the northeast. The brand name Fragozo, can be found in the deli
counter. However, they will ship anywhere in USA, vacuum packed (since
this a smoked sausage it will keep for a long period.) I have been at the
plant to witness the chopped pure pork sausages being prepared for retail
sales and can attest to the quality. P.S. Call them at (508) 992-9367
20 Foot Salad Bar, Mediterranean Seafood Seafood Stew, Seafood Diablo,
Seafood Angelica, Sole Sensation, Mixed Vegetable Stir Fry, BBQ Ribs, Cappuccino
Malt Crunch, Kinky Key Lime Pie...
has me making tracks to UNION STATION RESTAURANT So. Yarmouth.
You must try the desserts first! However, I do suggest the Seafood Angelica,
fresh schrod, scallops, calamari, sautéed with garlic, shallots,
fresh tomatoes, scallions, black olives and artichoke hearts in a white
wine butter sauce over angel hair pasta. Radio listeners tell us this entree
is sure to please,
Sole Sensation, fresh native sole, stuffed with fresh lobster meat
and topped with asparagus and newburg sauce. They all say it, BBQ Ribs
with the meat that melts in your mouth, believe me they do.....this restaurant
was voted #1 in So. Yarmouth for '94-'95-'96. The desserts: Cappuccino
Malt Crunch, chocolate brownie layer cake, with cappuccino cream filling,
drenched with a vanilla coffee bean frosting & Heath Bar crunch sprinkles
and the Kinky Key Lime Pie, this tart, tangy and refreshing key lime pie
and it's graham cracker crust will send your thoughts to sunsets yet to
come.
