Five Bays Bistro

Second time here and it was just as good as the first time! It was a busyyyy night but the staff did great making sure everyone was hydrated and well fed. I started off with the burrata salad, then the salmon and finished with the chocolate bread pudding (it was really more like a chocolate lava cake).

Not sure where to start... This was not a place for us at all. I will stay the drinks were bomb (chocolate bitter Old fashioned). The bread was stale and the tiny muffins which accompanied them fell apart when trying to add butter. I heard the staff swearing near the bar before we ordered (so did everyone at the bar) and it was not professional at all. We started with the baked oysters, nothing but bread crumbs (no flavor) and needed to be cooked longer (I prefer them raw). My wife got Chicken Marsala which came as a big piece of chicken with a bone in it (what)?? I got the filet which was the size of 2 golf balls ($50) and the food was not good at all. I cannot recommend this place and as people who spend most their living on the cape will not return.

We went for dinner on Friday evening and absolutely loved the experience. From the delicious food, thoughtfully presented and prepared, to the staff, everything was done to perfection. Shout out to the Chef for the best food I’ve had!

Outstanding dinner with a quiet and relaxing ambiance. I had a very creative (and delicious!) scallops and succotash dish and my wife had the chicken Marsala. Frankly, I had never understood the appeal of chicken Marsala until I tried some of my wife’s dinner tonight - what an absolute revelation! For both of our dinners, every element was executed perfectly and all blended together to create harmonious and delicious meals. The key lime pie we had for dessert was also to die for. We found the service friendly and welcoming and the ambiance refined yet relaxing. We appreciated that it was plenty quiet enough to carry on a civilised conversation without needing to shout. I’m sure we’ll be back!!

Had a birthday party there and everything was great! Food and drinks are delicious

Top notch place with wonderful menu, excellent service and refined decor. Much nicer than anyplace else in the area. I had the swordfish over lobster risotto and it was well presented and perfectly cooked. Everyone else in our party of five also loved it. Definitely recommended!

Celebrated my birthday there and it a place we enjoy visiting during our annual trip to Osterville! Food, cocktails…all outstanding! We had a reservation, so no wait. We went on a Monday and it was packed, so make a reservation! This is also a perfect place to sit and enjoy dinner/cocktails at the bar!

We had a great experience here tonight. From the entrance to the exit..ambience, service, food, and drink… all first rate!
