The Mayflower

"I had the camareo Mozambique (shrimp, a spicy sauce, rice, fries... listed as a Portuguese specialty). The food was perfectly prepared and presented, and was spicy enough to make it authentic and enjoyable, while not overpowering. I added a key lime tart for dessert: artfully presented and perfect-pucker taste. Service was super friendly and highly efficient. This isn't fine dining, so I didn't expect that route of service. But I couldn't ask for a better server. Atmosphere, as I said, is casual... think more like a diner than a restaurant. But they do have a service bar, and I watched the bartender masterfully prepare an array of drinks. All in all it was an excellent experience, and a reasonable price too. Kudos!"

"Seafood foodie snob here & long-time resident on the Cape. OK, you think you’ve visited all the great restaurants in this area over the years, as we have, but last night, our local friends re-introduced us to the Mayflower. Oh my! Do not pass this restaurant by! This is an oldie but goodie right in the heart of P’town. You come here for the huge variety of food at fair prices, the warmth of the staff and owner Mike, and the ambience of bygone years. Those lucky enough to snag a window seat will surely be entertained by all the foot traffic on Commercial Street. Now to the seafood on our table: we had the spaghetti with clams; the frutti di mare, a seafood dish in a delicious tomato-based sauce with a bit of a bite; a (lightly) fried sea scallops with scallops fresh off the boat; and fresh haddock with shrimp & scallops stuffing!! I got to taste every dish and am ready to return to have the other dishes I didn’t choose. Yes, the food was that delicious and fresh-tasting! We had a wonderful time, assisted by our fun and helpful waitstaff, Larasa. Thank you to all the hardworking staff there whose friendliness is reflected by the owner Mike!"

"Finally made it to The Mayflower, and it’s such a fun experience. The staff is warm and kind, and the ambiance is the perfect amount of trapped in time. Be prepared as the menu can be overwhelming, but we enjoyed our choices. We had been told not to miss the garlic bread, and it was HUGE. My dining partner went with the ritz cracker stuffed fish, which he enjoyed. He wished he’d gotten a baked potato vs the rice pilaf. I did the chicken croquettes, which were very satisfying and homey. I do wish there had been more vegetable side options. I would definitely recommend and go back."
