Clean slate is BACK!! The most unique and intimate dining experience on the Cape at an affordable price. They offer a 6-course prix fixe menu that changes monthly, making the most of seasonal ingredients so there’s always something new and delicious to come back for. Though I can always count on the incredible parker house rolls and Intermezzo (🔥 IYKYK) to stay on the menu each month. Timing of each dish is spaced out really nicely and the entire meal is about 2.5 hours start to finish. Their team is also very accommodating to allergens and dietary restrictions, just let them know at booking and you’ll be sure to enjoy every bite. Keep up the great work chefs!!

This past weekend, surrounded by some of our favorite humans, we had the most magical dinner party at Clean Slate Eatery in Dennis. This place will blow you away! I’m pretty confident that Executive Chef/Owner Jay and Executive Chef Amanda are actual wizards or geniuses or both. I’ve never had a more satisfying meal. It’s one that I’ll never forget! They offer a prix fixe, six course tasting menu, plus some extra surprises. I still can’t decide which course was my favorite because they were all so incredible. I might say it’s a tie between the hanger steak that absolutely melted in your mouth or the Camembert (Cohoes NY, Goat’s milk, brioche bread pudding, date & orange blossom jam, rosemary). I’m one of those humans who can’t live without cheese. We opted for the wine pairing as well, and it was perfectly executed. We got to try a few whites that we normally wouldn’t have ordered (we are red people 🍷). If you haven’t been here yet, it is a bucket list, can’t live without kind of experience. What a truly SPECIAL place with talented, passionate people! Oh also don’t forget to check out their side hustle, La Tacodilla, which offers THE most mind-blowing tacos that have ever existed!

A birthday celebration was the excuse to spend $125/person on the 6 course (with extras) tasting menu. The first dish was the most unique and the standout: daybout scallops with corn ice cream, cornbread crumbles, and ancho chili, a sweet and savory combination hors d'oeuvre bookending with dessert. But after the wonderfully creative beginning, the subsequent dishes got less exciting. The swordfish confit with puttanesca relish and crispy panisse was decent; the scallion pancake was ho-hum; the cheder apple galette was good; the chocolate cremeux was standard. The greatest disappointment, if not offense, was what should have been the pièce de résistance: Where the menu had a kuro blue wagyu, a couple people in my party had requested a meatless option which the restaurant assured me was possible when I made the reservation. But instead they swapped out the expensive, premium, special cut of meat with a piece of uninspired broccoli. The contrast was so stark it felt almost disdainful. And the sentiment was reinforced when I directly asked the chef where the substitute was for the wagyu, to which he curtly said “there” pointing to the pathetic piece of broccoli on my plate. But this is not a comparable alternative in any capacity. One is a protein, the other a vegetable. One is an exotic cut of meat, the other is a commonplace grocery item prepared without any culinary distinction. This amounted to little more than merely removing the meat from the meat dish as their way of accommodating the request. But this is more of a cold snub than the warm hospitality they advertise online as being “happy to accommodate all requests to the best of our ability with proper notification.” If that’s the best of their ability then it’s a lame effort.

5-star review on Clean Slate Eatery in West Dennis last night. I didn't get too many pictures because I really wanted to take in this experience. Menu is a prix fixe, six course tasting menu. We opted for some add-ons (caviar and foie gras) and the wine pairing, too. We went all out and so did Clean Slate. The intimate seating allowed for conversation with the chef as well as great views of him plating our meals right in front of us. Food was delicious - the best course, IMO, was the dayboat scallop with pork belly and 5 spice dashi. It was incredible. Service was amazing, the wine pairing was WELL worth it; we had about 7 half-glasses of wine, even some to pair with our desserts. I have lived on Cape for about 2 years now and finding this level of flavor is tough to find. I highly recommend putting Clean Slate on your list. It is on the expensive end for a night out, so perhaps for a special occasion. Seats fill up quickly since they only have room for about 17 people inside - we were told to make reservations a month in advance. Definitely looking forward to going back!

A one-of-a-kind dining experience that’s extremely personalized and stretches your palate. I’m normally not big on fine dining, but this might be the best meal I’ve had on the Cape, ever. Highly recommend whether you’re a local or new to town.

This was hands down the best meal I’ve ever had. The atmosphere cannot be beat. The chefs, staff, food, and presentation were amazing. This is a one-of-a-kind experience that I would highly recommend that everyone try at least once. We will definitely be back!

*Covid 19* This review is for the taco truck not the restaurant, these are dipping style tacos not the kind of tacos you make at home. -Chicken taco and cheese, yummy! Chicken can easily dry out but they execute it perfect and the meat is juicy and the consume has a little kick to it which I appreciate. -Beef taco with cheese, taste like a steak and cheese tacos then you dip it into the consume and it transforms into a completely different taco! The crispy cheese edges are my favorite part. Be careful these tacos stay hot -Chicken Ramen, it like Mexican,Italian and Japanese came together in the best way possible way! -Beef Ramen tastes very much like a Pho If you like the tacos you will love the ramen, they use SUN noodles. Open 11-2 and ramen is only on Wednesdays!

A fabulous experience. We recently enjoyed their imaginative August menu with the wine pairings. A splurge but if Jason and Patrick were doing this kind of tasting menu and experiential dining in Boston or NYC, they would be charging more. Many diners sit at the L-shaped dining table right next to the prep tables. Several of us were at other small tables. Blackboards (the slates) let you know all the courses and chefs and staff explain more. All the courses were intriguing. The most surprising magic for us was the carrot tartare course...a delightful taste of ginger, carrots and other flavors. Who knew the humble carrot could be prepared to be such a hit! So fun to start with the icy oyster. Loved the scallop-pork course, the flounder tomato course, the little steak course, and more. The re-imagined creamsickle course with pastry and ice cream sealed the deal. All the wine pairings were great too, finishing up with a nice Marsala. I typically am a small eater, but I had room for all! I was there with a friend, and we thought our husbands might not be filled with the small plate portions. But men were there, and all the patrons seemed to really enjoy at our seating. Wonderful staff and chefs. This is a gourmet entertainment in an intimate dining space. So glad we got a reservation this summer!

The hubby and I went to a small, 16 seat, intimate, gourmet restaurant in Barcelona during our honeymoon a couple of years ago, where the chef, personally interacting with his patrons, was pleased to present his culinary creations to customers who appreciated them just as much as he did. We were both so impressed with it back then that we wanted to try Clean Slate's version of the concept. There is a slight difference between Clean Slate, however. Whereas the one in Spain was more appetizer, main meal and dessert (with an intermezzo in between), Clean Slate is more tapas style. That is certainly not a bad thing. We had an oyster, a little bit of steak, some cod, a hearty scallop, some broccolini, and that fab little intermezzo on that white spoon that many Yelpers seem to post a picture of. And yes, that intermezzo is pretty fab! Actually, just about all of it was: the lemon horseradish granita dressed oyster that made a fantastic starter, that innovative black squid ink veined egg pasta handkerchief on top of wonderfully cooked cod, luxurious cream cheese puréed potato that came with the tender sirloin, tasty red pozole broth with that scallop, and coconut grits (wow, loved it!) and some added spice really kicked up the broccolini, which turned out to be my favorite plate of the whole dinner to my surprise. It's hard to top steak and fish, but damn, that broccolini dish was amazing. And let's not forget that special addition Clean Slate added on that night if one chose the option for another $20: pecan pesto that came with a homemade toasted banana bread and paired with a buttery foie gros! Why say "no"? Especially when we saved some of that foie gros to put on that sirloin that came out after! And for desert, there was a white chocolate bay leave ganache with bourbon caramel that was out of this world indulgent. We also were served a cucumber ice cream, which we thought was absolutely lovely with a perfect sweet and mild cucumber flavor. The only thing the hubby found didn't work was the feta cheese paired with the ice cream, which I didn't mind all that much (it was a wonderfully creamy feta), yet, understand what he meant. And the peaches that came with the white ganache weren't needed. Quibbles. The food here is great, and we both left very impressed with service and the presentation. There's also a wine pairing for an extra charge that came with each course. The hubby partook (as it was his birthday dinner), whereas I just had a beer since I was driving. We were a bit confused as to which wine came with which course at some point as there was much going on, but with all the wine one is having, it won't matter much. I did get a sip of the hubby's wines (thank you, dear!), and there were some nice ones in the lineup. The best seat in the house? Don't go for the L shaped table at the front. If you have the option, go around and stay by the wall immediately on the right when you enter and sit at the first raised table. You get a great view of the show the staff will putting on for you. The only drawback? It's a bit expensive, but honestly, what did you expect for food of this caliber? If I had money to burn, I'd easily do this once a month (when their menu changes). For now, I will settle on another visit for a special night out in the future as it's a fun and novel place for dinner. Thanks to Jason and the rest of the staff for an enjoyable evening!! To couples planning a vacation on the Cape. You're on vacation...go here, spend your money and enjoy it. But do make (required) reservations fairly well in advance. There's a reason this place has just about all five star reviews.

My husband surprised me with reservations here for my birthday. It was one of the best things he could have given me. We had a table for the 8:30 seating. It is very small and cozy yet you never once feel like it is crowded. The whole restaurant fits about 18 people. You have a choice between the vegetarian or the regular menu. Although I can go either way we got the regular menu. They are very accommodating with food allergies, just let them know in advance. Be on time for dinner as everyone is served at once and I promise you don't want to miss anything. You can order wine or beer with dinner or bring your own (there is a corking fee). We had the wine pairing, it is half a glass with each course and well worth it. The pairing was spot on!! Course after unique course is served. Each course comes out with a personal explanation of the food and a willingness to chat about the ingredients and where it all came from. Rarely would I describe dinner as fun but this is one of those very special times when I can honestly say dinner was so much fun. It was a joy to have had dinner there. My husband joked that we could grab Subways after as he assumed portions would be tiny and strange, but we were so stuffed when we left we both commented that one more course and we would have needed a doctor. I would highly recommend having dinner here. I wish I was a more elegant writer so that I can convey to you how lovely a night out at Clean Slate Eatery is. It is well worth every single cent. We can't wait to go back.

A culinary experience! Such an explosion of flavours, creative plating, diverse pairing, local and regional ingredients with a fun and lively vibe. 5 stars for a solid food experience. Loved the staff, loved the music, comfortable and casual. The wine pairing in addition to the chef tasting menu is a fabulous value. Come hungry and enjoy a slow dining outing.

A Diamond in the Rough! One of the meals in my life that blew my mind! This meal in Manhattan would have been double or triple the price, hands down! The head Chef Jay and his two assistants, Chef Bob and a mystery Chef in the kitchen. They do not have a wait staff and do everything themselves while explaining and plating in front of you. The restaurant only seats about 12 or so and only has two seating's for dinner, book in advance! We already booked dinner for Labor Day weekend..it was that good! So the menu....they also made substantially accommodations for my eating needs. They do a regular and a vegetarian menu, I did the vegetarian with some changes leaning towards the regular. I attached a pic of the menu for your review, the menu does change each week. First was a taste of local grown tomatoes marinated in balsamic, heavenly. Sweat with a nice tang. Then a home baked brioche roll warm our of the oven with a whipped maple butter....it simply melted in your mouth. The butter was amazingly light with just the hint of maple in it and the roll was soft and very well flavored. Next was a sweet corn in a corn bisque with some other stuff. The corn was sweet and delicious, and the corn was served chilled and then mixed with the warm pour over bisque, it was heavenly. Great herb flavors carried through. Next was the veglonese, the pasts was eldente and the sauce was stunning in the seanse that it was meat free, I would have never known had they not told me. Then a pan roasted striped bass over a potato leek salad. The fish was so fresh and perfectly cooked, the potato and leek salad was soft to the palate and delicious. They threw together a quick rue for me and it married perfectly with the fish. Next BBQ baked beans, gritty and sweet, to die for! With baked carrots and blue cheese papusa. The papusa was perfectly fried and added a great texture to the dish. The carrots were soft and well flavored. Mind you by this time we are ready to order wheelbarrow Ubers to get us to the cars. Then more! Next we had double cream brie with plum and bread crumbs. The silkiness of the brie was a great additional to the meal softening the heavy dishes we had just had. Having a little fruit at this point helped open up the palate and move the meal in a sweeter direction. And finally desert. Home made everything! It was a fun take on a ice cream cone, vanilla bean ice cream and with chocolate ganache and a crunchy cone. The simplicity of the desert was a great way to end of a meal filled with complex flavors and dishes! DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE!

Wow. Every course was better than the one before. Great service. Amazing food and wine pairings. Can NOT wait to go again. Make your reservations now. Who knew I liked beets? Amazing oyster, scallop, sea bass, skirt steak and dessert! Oh and yay for Narraganset creamery and their Halloumi!

Wonderful night! Such an enriching experience of culinary and performance arts. Fresh locally-sourced foods (including cape-abilities!) that leave you satiated. Chefs Jason and Patrick were welcoming and accommodating to everyone's needs (there weren't many) and the pride in their work showed through from the opening course to the finale. Cannot wait to dine there again! Thanks to the wonderful crew!

Inventive and playful. Masterful flavors and textures. Incredible presentation. And all from a thoroughly talented and charming team. This food rivals anything in Manhattan or San Francisco. And the experience leaves them in the dust. The only thing Chef Jason enjoys more than diners enjoying his creations is to see patrons who entered the door as strangers enthusiastically engage with each other along the gorgeously crafted L-shaped low counter that surrounds his prep table. And they do. The menu changes monthly and there are traditional and vegetarian options. It's never too early to reserve your seats - there are only 16 in the house. It's an extraordinary evening. Pro tip: Try to pick a weeknight when there's only one seating... the team is especially fun then. :)

One of the best meals I've ever eaten on the cape. Amazing, really. Raw oyster with granita, homemade roll & butter, foie gras paired with banana bread, perfectly cooked scallop-all great. We sat at the peninsula, communally, with 7 other guests. I enjoyed the striking contrast of this haute cuisine served with cheerful informality by the guys who cooked. One of us had a wine-pairing which was nice. Tip was added by the house and with one non-drinker, the total was just under $300 for 2. Steep, for sure, but it was a culinary art show, I thought.

What a fantastic night we had! Everything was amazing. Very difficult to pick my favorite, several things come to mind. The presentation was outstanding but the unique combinations of foods- perfect! It was a great experience and worth every penny! We brought our one wine, but found they have a very good offering as well. Service was very professional and well planned. It was fun watching the food preparation as we sat sipping our wine and chatting with the chef. From the granita on the oyster, the melt in your mouth scallop, the surprising burst of flavor of the intermezzo, steak cooked to perfection and the chocolate malt, we were all blown away by the play of flavors and the satisfaction they gave. I would definitely recommend to any foodie to make a reservation here and plan to be very pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. Can't wait to go back!

This place is LEGIT. We had a great dinner here on a recent trip to the Cape. As others have noted, it is a quaint setup with 14 seats (4-person table, 2-person table, and 8 seats at the "bar" area). The plating table right in the middle of the action is great fun to watch, the menu eclectic and different each week, and the wine pairings were great. They kick things off with a local oyster served on a big local rock -- with a lemon horseradish granita. It was a great, fresh kickstart to the meal -- or, as my wife who isn't an oyster fan said "the best oyster I've ever eaten". They next kept us at bay with some homemade "Hawaiian Rolls" with an herbed brown butter. Delicious. The first course was a Scallop Sope -- a perfectly cooked local sea scallop perched on "basically a gordita" with a bacon jam that was to-die-for. The dish was electrified with a tomato consomme that was "basically a liquid pico di gallo" that I literally finished with my spoon. It was amazeballs -- my favorite course of the night. We then had a "Carrot Carrpaccio" as the salad course. Young roasted carrots with 3 different sauces -- a whipped truffle oil, carrot-top pesto, whipped parm reggiano, and some local honey. It was pretty perfect. The first main course was the miso-marinated monkfish that lay on some smoked eggplant, had some grits/rice combination, and a roasted lemon verbana. The fish was cooked perfectly (poached?), and you got a lot of smokey flavor from the eggplant. I'm not a huge fan of much of anything smoked, but it was a tasty dish. The second main course was a ridiculously perfectly cooked piece of Hanger steak, with a chimichurri sauce, some fingerling potatoes, corn relish, and a pickled quail egg. Definitely was a close second for my favorite course of the night. They then brought us in for a soft landing with some amazing VT Cheddar that came with a mustard sweet pickle. Creamy and delicious. I honestly don't remember the dessert -- I don't know if it was the bliss of the amazing meal, my usual disinterest in dessert, or the STRONG pour of the Sake during the wine pariing! Overall, a total 5-star experience -- on the Cape -- for $95 per person. I honestly don't think they charge enough. GREAT meal.

Jason has the cape figured out. 1. The food is ABSOLUTELY the best food on cape. The love that goes into each of his plates in the 9 course meal we had was noticed. If you are bored with the status quo of boring old steakhouses, prepare to be amazed by the unreal dishes that will be presented. Things I've just never heard of, flavours you have never tasted. Ingredients that you haven't thought to put together, and culinary science projects that you get to eat! 2. By the time you leave you will be family. 3. You will be full when you wake up in the morning. 4. The pricing is very fair for what you get. 5. It's a VERY classy restaurant but it is absolutely not stuffy. 6. You will be served by the chefs, you will feel the passion in their work. I rarely write Yelp reviews and I was reluctant to write this one because I want to keep this place to myself! This is the best restaurant in the states, if you are a foodie, here is your place. Show up with some stretch pants, you'll need them.

This was a super fun little pop up restaurant with a creative menu, bordering on the "just because you can, doesn't mean you should." I'm all about pushing my boundaries with cuisine and Clean Slate is driving that bus. Only 1 or 2 of the 'reach' dishes didn't hit the mark. There were far more positives, however, from the high-touch service to the gallery-worthy plating. Speaking of plating - a highlight is the plating table in the middle of the place that showcases the artistry and precision the Chefs use to create their dishes. The wine pairing was great according to my wife; I went with a Devils Purse bomber of saison which was perfect with my dishes. I'd like to see a couple more options from the great local beer scene. The unassuming and almost off-putting exterior of the restaurant gives way to a well appointed interior with all the right simple appointments and easy, open atmosphere.

I never expected to have such an amazing and high-profile "foodie" experience on Cape. This is an incredible find! I had the vegetarian tasting menu and my husband decided on the pescatarian tasting menu. We both had the wine pairing. We were blown away! The atmosphere is amazing and cozy and it's cool to see the chefs doing their thing, plating their food out in the open in front of you. The chef's also personally deliver the food to you and explain their offerings. I can't wait to go back again in December with the whole family! Thanks Clean Slate Eatery!

One of the best overall dining experiences in years on Cape Cod. Clean Slate Eatery was an amazing experience. Intimate, innovative, fresh locally sourced food paired beautifully with wine. Every bite was worth eating . Licking your plate is not out of the question. Chef and owner is passionate about food and the whole experience. Perfect for small groups or special birthdays.

Wow! I don't do fancy dinners ever; more of a dive bar, a good beer list, or bartenders that make a great cocktail kind of guy. I was shocked at the overall experience; thought I would leave not full, but I am stuffed of great food. My only wish is that they would offer a beer pairing with the courses. Reach out to breweries they will help with what you are looking for.

Went this weekend as my first time to Clean Slate after some friends highly recommended. From start to finish, the meal and experience was AMAZING! No servers, just the chefs serving you and explaining each meal. We did a wine pairing with our courses which did not disappoint either. The love and passion that goes Into the each course is truly outstanding and my boyfriend and I cannot wait to return. My food baby left plump and content and cannot wait to be fed again. Bravo!

We had dinner here tonight and it was extraordinary. The wine pairing for most dishes was great (I especially liked the Spanish wine with the cheese course - I have no idea how to spell it). The extra courses (oyster, cape cod burst, and candies at the end) we delicious. I really enjoyed being able to chat with the folks as they were plating the meals and they were very open to questions about the food. One of the best dinners I've had on the cape!

Yelp
What a spectacular and unique experience. As a tourist visiting from NYC, I was blown away by this tiny, unassuming local gem. The staff were friendly, passionate about what they did, and happy to answer questions and talk about the food prep. Having a literal front-row seat to watch them plate was a lot of fun. They are clearly incredibly hardworking and have put everything they have into this labor of love. The food was wonderful - creative, satisfying, and delicious. Artfully presented but not pretentious. All using local ingredients. This is not a "cheap" restaurant, but the prices are staggeringly low considering what you are getting. The same restaurant in a major city would likely be three times the cost. I truly can't say enough good things about this place. If you love food and are interested in the people making it, then do yourself a favor and make a reservation here immediately.

Is there a sixth star to give? Can I find an extra star? To be frank, this was the best meal I've had in a very long time, brought to us by the most affable employees in the quaintest atmosphere. This was a special experience. My advice? Get the wine pairing with the food, and settle in for a wonderful experience.

The food, the presentation, the service, the chefs, the wine pairings were unsurpassed. I do not know what they could have done to make it any better. They took special care to accommodate all of our special dietary needs and restrictions. I do not easily give a 5 star rating. I can't imagine anyone giving fewer that 5 stars.

Outstanding. One of the best meals I've had in a very long time and certainly the best caliber on the Cape. Worth the splurge.

PC R.

Yelp
Outstanding in all respects! It was as much of a show as a meal and while the food was the star, the setting and the staff were equally awesome. Staff was very personable from our first greeting when we arrived until we left, we felt like we were just having dinner with friends. The chef and sous chef serve each course themselves so you get a real first hand description of the dish and the opportunity to converse throughout the evening. The food is creative but don't let the description scare you off. Its refined, but not so far out there that a more simple palate cant equally enjoy it. There were four things on the menu that I normally avoid, but I went for it and all were very very tasty. We had the wine pairing with our dinner which was enjoyable and a nice complement (especially the cognac with dessert), but the food was so good that I kept forgetting about my wine. The "surprises" are also all very good a great complement. The 24hr sous vide hangar steak with maple sweet potato puree and braised bacon may have been the best dish I have ever eaten.

Well, well, well! We found the pearl in the oyster. No better way to describe this intimate little restaurant. Don't let the outside fool you. What you're about to experience inside will blow you away. The food courses are creatively prepared, locally sourced and the eclectic flavor profiles and texture combinations will keep you wanting more. The presentation is outstanding. When was the last time you ate an oyster in a half shell served nestled on a bed of fresh kelp set upon a rock topped with horseradish lemon granita? Probably never! Well get ready because this is the type of presentation you can expect with each dish. The wine pairings were perfectly chosen for each course. This chef and his staff we born to do what they do. You can see it in the intensity as they plate each dish and the joy in their faces as they present it to your table. You will not be disappointed. Reservations only. Restaurant holds about 18 people max. But that's the fun of it. Intimate dining with incredibly outstanding food! I have to say this truly was my favorite meal of all times!

A culinary experience second to none on the Cape!! Food was outstanding, presentation perfect and service was awesome. Don't expect a variety of meals to choose from, Clean slate has two six course choices, vegetarian and food for normal people. We selected the option to pair wines with each course and found the chefs wine choices perfect for the pairings. All food is locally sources and fresh. Chef Jay and crew explain the ingredients in each course and where it came from. As you can imagine, prices are a bit high but you absolutely get what you pay for. Clean Slate only seats 14 so be sure to make reservations early.

I do not want to even tell you how special this place is. There are only sixteen seats and I want to be able to go back whenever I want. We have eaten at the restaurant voted number one in New York City and paid three times what we paid at Clean Slate. Yes the furniture was nicer...but the food was on par and the informal atmosphere at Clean Slate with Jason and Patrick made for a special evening. You can read the other detailed reviews. All I will say is this is what going out for dinner should be like...just a superb experience! And let's not forget Elena. She works non-stop and takes good care of everyone!

This is by far my favorite place to get my gourmet on! The flavors, textures, presentation never disappoint. Glad to have such talent on the Cape!

Looks a bit dumpy outside - like an old cape ranch- but we had an incredibly gourmet meal there as part of a birthday party. I think all their meals are prix fix but at least for this pre-ordered party they accommodated vegans and other restrictions and I'm pretty sure that one of their prix fix menus is vegetarian. We had something like 9 courses and it was superb: inventive, tasty and beautifully plated. The surroundings are cozy (it's a tiny restaurant) and attractive. My only issues were that the chef was a bit prickly and they don't serve cocktails (beer and wine only) but the food and ambiance was so good that they still get 5 stars from me. Wish there was a restaurant so creative closer to Boston.

This place is what restaurants should be. Seemingly two chefs opened this place to cook when they want and what they want and every patron is so much better off because of it. The menu rotates because it is farm to table and seasonal but we had some of the most inventive and delicious dishes I've had in a long time. Best fine dining in cape cod!!

Going to Clean Slate Eatery is a total foodie dining extravaganza. In addition you can choose to have wines paired with each tasting course. Each course was a delightful experience. Plus you get to watch Chef Jason and his sous Chef plate each meal and personally bring it to you and describe it. The place seats less than 20 people and you must book in advance. It is a pre set menu that changes. They offer vegetarian substitutes. Everything is fresh and local. If you enjoy a food adventure of many different flavors you must try this. Beer and wine available. But no cocktails.

Delicious, captivating, surprising, well prepared and well thought out meal. Sometimes you get a meal and you know that the people who made it loved their work, that was obvious tonight.

If you are a foodie, this is simply the best place to eat on Cape Cod. Every dish is a perfectly crafted combination of flavors and textures and is plated beautifully. The one room restaurant has great atmosphere and makes the kitchen and plating station a wonderful and fascinating focal point. The chefs are incredibly kind and accommodating to dietary restrictions and allergies. The dining experience at Clean Slate truly rivals some of the nation's best restaurants. Go! And do the wine pairing!

Honestly the best meal I've had on Cape Cod. 6 to 8 courses, timed perfectly. I often yearn for a meal that steps outside the norm for Cape Cod. I've spent most of my life on the island and haven't been quite satisfied with a dinner as I was with this one. I don't even like scallops and I ate every bit of that friggin dish, and talked about it for weeks later. I have an extensive background in food and I appreciated the time and thought put into each dish. Dessert wasn't my favorite and needed work but didn't change my opinion about the meal as a whole. The start was an oyster with a horseradish and lime granita. LIKE HELLO?! blew any oyster I've had outta the water. Would definitely go again.

I can't say enough good things about our first experience here. Exquisitely prepared, artfully plated courses included small surprises and met big expectations. We chose the wine pairing option, and for a very reasonable additional fee, sampled perfectly balanced accompaniments to our meal. We're already planning our return visit.

My husband and I had an amazing dining experience last night at Clean Slate Eatery. I was looking for a special place to go for dinner for our anniversary and this sounded like just the place after reading the article in the July issue of Cape Cod LIFE. It is like stepping into Chef Jay's dining room as he serves each plate and explains each of courses. The food is fresh and locally sourced. The preparation and presentation is a labor of love! One can choose the traditional menu or vegetarian menu in addition to the option for a wine pairing or a choice of locally brewed beer. Dining with the other guests was fun and there is the option to reserve the entire 16 seat restaurant for an evening with friends!

What an amazing dining experience! A tasting menu that may have taken me out of my comfort zone, but i was thrilled with every bite. The food was delicious - all local items and the servers explained each dish to the guests. There were only 3 servers, one of whom was the chef, and they worked as a team to make every guest happy. The attention to detail for each dish (9 in total) that came out was top notch from start to finish. A great night and I highly recommend making this a destination during your time in Cape Cod.

Crazy good food. Jason and staff do an awesome job, no wonder they book so early. A must try for anyone wanting a fulfilling yet unique experience.

Went here April '18 with my wife. I can honestly say this is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to on Cape Cod. We live on Cape year round and have been to all the good restaurants. The intimate setting, the adventurous dishes, the friendly waitstaff and owner, the way the food is prepped and presented right in front of you, all makes for a unique and special experience. It is costly but so worth it. Not to mention the food is incredibly delicious. Highly recommend to anyone who wants an amazing, clean, locally sourced night out. We will absolutely be back.

Fabulous in every way. The food is superb with many locally produced ingredients. Love that it is a small restaurant with very friendly staff, especially Jason, the chef. If I could give this ten stars I would. If you visit the cape, Clean Slate Eatery should be on the top of your list.

This brand new eatery was absolutely incredible. They change their menu weekly and create an intimate and comfortable atmosphere to talk to family and friends. So much thought put into all of the courses.. Truly a special and delicious experience. Check it out :)
