Restaurants in Cape Cod

Cuvée is the most formally ambitious tasting-menu restaurant on Cape Cod, operating inside the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Chatham Inn. Wine Director Rafael Perez runs a Wine Spectator-recognised list with 32 pours by the glass across 1,140 bottles. Book 30 days out for a standard table; the private chef's table for two requires 90 days. Cocktail attire required.

STARS at Chatham Bars Inn is the most complete fine dining option in Chatham, with panoramic Atlantic views, a hotel-owned farm supplying the kitchen, and a 520-selection wine list. Breakfast here — lobster Benedict, Jonah crab toast — is a stronger case for the venue than most resort mornings. Dinner runs $$$ before wine. Book two to three weeks ahead in summer.
