We've stayed at the Pilgrim House several times (2 adults with one daughter). The owners and customer service is very helpful, friendly, and responsive. My priorities when staying in Provincetown are: Location, clean room, and a comfy, supportive bed. Pilgrim House checks all those boxes really well. The location couldn't be better: you're right near Commercial street, but set back somewhat so you don't get the on-street noise. The hotel does have some weekend events, especially in summer and on holidays like New Year's Eve, that can get loud for the rooms on the 2nd floor that are above their event room. But it's a hotel in the heart of Provincetown so not surprising at all. Since we're a family with a 7 year old, it's not ideal, but not a big issue (adults bring ear plugs and the kid can sleep through anything). We stay here ~3-4 times a year, and we notice late-night noise perhaps one of those nights on a weekend, so not bad at all. This last visit, we were more needy than I think we typically are--with parking, meals, etc.--and we always got a friendly smile and an offer to help. We often stay in the less expensive rooms, so they may not be as luxurious as one would find at a 5 star hotel, but the bed is always quite comfy, linens are great, the room is always clean and well appointed, with enough space to relax, storage, a nice desk and chair, and new streaming/smart tv. Parking is an extra cost, but likely worth it considering you're smack dab in the middle of Provincetown. The in-house restaurant started serving breakfast that that was really, really good. Not inexpensive, but the prices are good value for good food and service you get.

Adorable hotel with a super convenient location just off the main commercial street. Walking distance from everything. The on-site parking was a huge plus. We were there during off season so it was incredibly quiet. Rooms were comfy and well appointed. We had a great stay.

My wife and I made a reservation last Valentin's Day, 2024. I approved the charge for the nights with parking at $100. About 24 hours after the approved amount another $300 showed up on my credit card. I called the manager and he said there was a problem with the way to system charged things so he would credit back the $300 within a few days because parking was $100 a day not for the whole 4 day stay. A week went by and nothing happened so I called again. He said they had computer problems that was fixed now and he would credit my account that day. Another week and no credit. After that they wouldn't answer the phone when I called. (They use a cell phone and I'm sure caller ID showed my name.) I contacted my credit card company and they, credited my account. I then received an email from the inn canceling my reservation entirely and indicating my credit card was given a credit. The credit never showed up and again I had to file a claim with my CC company. After six months I received all my money back from the credit card company. If you reserve a room from November to April parking is free in the entire town and there are plenty of spaces to be found near the hotel.

If you’re looking for a peaceful and quiet hotel that’s in the heart of Provincetown, look no further than the Pilgrim House on Commercial Street. The rooms are spacious and we were delighted by the wonderful staff as well as their very impressive website.

The good: right in the heart of PTown, on site parking for a fee(45 night, cheaper at the lot at CVS) parking is tight, good size rooms, friendly service. The bad: paint peeling on the ceilings, paper thin walls(I wear hearing aids and without them I was trying to decide what color cabins to get! the room next store was deciding on for their kitchen) if the rooms above, flush their toilets, it sounds like the water is coming into you room.

We really wanted to like this place because the location is great! However, the rooms were extremely dirty and the service was terrible. Mold growing on the shower curtains, carpet disgusting, bathroom dirty. Worst part was having to shower in 6 inches of water that backed up from the drain every time we showered. We asked for this to be remedied, I guess they attempted but did not follow through. It was gross. The service was rude and overall a bad experience for such an amazing city. Rooms were NEVER cleaned throughout our entire stay. When we asked we were told that there was only one person cleaning and that they were short staffed. This was surely not reflected in what we had to pay for the room. Highly overpriced for what we received. Provincetown is AMAZING, but this hotel was terrible.

Run don't walk away from this nightmare of a hotel! Staff- terrible (especially the guy with the mustache) Left the hotel at 7:15am to get a coffee came back hotel is locked, ya think the shit head at the front desk should tell people if you leave in the morning like a normal working human, you can't get back in till we feel like opening the front door! Place is so aggravating, never again! PLEASE don't put yourself through this.....stay in your car if you have to before spending your money here!

Sat at the bar at 4. About ten customers. Ordered martini and six shrimp and six oysters. After watching dozens of trays of shrimp and oysters go out i asked where my order was. People who had come way after me were done with drinks and oysters Asked for the check. $22 martini. Ugh. My neighbors told me not to go but wanted to try it. They were right. Not good and way overpriced.

Had dinner at the Royal Thai restaurant in the Pilgrim House. Awesome!!! The Massaman curry was quite possibly the best Thai food I've ever had.

walked in Monday to make dinner reservations. Was told "we're not open Mondays, how about tomorrow ?" arrived Tues night at 7p for dinner - it was a wasteland, except for another guy wondering why he had a reservation for a closed restaurant ??? seriously, the staff doesn't know when they are open ??? was so looking forward to it. luckily, Patio open.

Arrived at 7 with dinner reservations at Royal Thai. Had reservations for the prior evening but they were canceled by Pilgrim House due to water leak. We placed our order by 7:10. At 8:15 no food yet and waiter asked what we had ordered while trying to locate our order on hand held computer. They kept seating folks at tables despite being understaffed in wait staff and perhaps in kitchen as well. I explained as a diabetic my blood sugar was going low. He said sorry but had no idea when food would arrive . We left. Obviously unable to comment on food.

We stopped in to see Ms Ritchfield 1981 and had a fabulous time. For one, the show actually started remotely in the ballpark of when it was supposed to which is a vast improvement from another venue nearby where we purchased tickets for a show the night before. I also like their strategy of having a waiter service for the drinks and it was more efficient than I was expecting. I drunkenly left a bag with a ptown souvie shirt the night before and bought another one because I was convinced I would never see it again. GF called and they actually looked and FOUND it!!!! I now have two identical shirts which was very convenient for gift giving. I would definitely return to see another show next time I am in town.

One of the few places that is open off season just three steps from Commercial St. We followed the Reindeer path. The restaurant is modern and cozy with a bar to sit on. They don't have draft beer or a drink menu but the bartender was really nice and willing to make us any drink desired. They cook Mexican food and breakfast here. Also, Friday is Bingo and Saturday is Karaoke Very pleasant experience, would come again...

Peter T.

Yelp
For some reason the bartender did not want business at his empty bar. We were treated awful, especially when we mentioned we were going to the show. At $16-22 per cocktail, I would expect to be treated better. The other staff were more attentive and kinder than this bartender. He needs to find a different career.

My husband and I had a fantastic time seeing Madame! Go see this show!!! Afterwards, we had reservations in the restaurant at Pilgrim House. Very good. Being from the Florida gulf coast I'm picky about my seafood. Well, the Pilgrim House came through. Excellent. When visiting P Town be sure to book dinner and one of their shows.

First time to Provincetown. Custom service here is the worst. You need to reserve parking, which the hotel does not let you know ahead of time. They sent 3 or 4 emails prior to arrival with no mention of parking. Management is completely unresponsive. I left 3 VM before arrival and another one to the Director of Operations after arrival. No response. No callbacks. The guy behind the desk was not helpful either. And gave us the wrong room key, which we did not realize until walking away. He did not know the address or name of a parking lot. He did point us in the general direction. He recommended a restaurant and then gave us the wrong directions to it. Public parking is 3 blocks away and is $40/day.

Two stars for the great location and the kind, responsive worker Bruce. Minus 3 stars for cleanliness and noise. Cleanliness - the bathroom looked like something out of a 2 star motel, mildewed grout, stained bath tub. The biggest problem was the shower curtain, had mold, what looked like blood! and hairs on it. Bruce changed it for me immediately. Noise- the walls are thin and if there are neighbors you will hear everything, next to you AND above you. We were woken up with stomping above us early and late. Smoke detector- the damn thing was tweeting randomly the entire time we were there. Bruce changed the battery for us but it still chirped and woke us up regularly throughout the night. So I write this review frustrated and sleep deprived, not how you want to leave your vacation. One other thing to add- the place has zero amenities- no electric kettle, coffee maker, ice machine etc. They also charge $50 per night to park. Of note we stayed in the standard queen in off season- end of September.

A friend recommended Pilgrim House for accommodation and I already had it in my top 3, so that clinched the deal. It's on Commercial (which we discovered later is really where you want to be) and it's set back a little, so it doesn't get street noise. What we didn't realize was that that they have a bar and restaurant so we didn't plan on doing anything but sleep at Pilgrim House. We also didn't know they have drag shows, so when our most amazing receptionist Eddie greeted us, he told us about it and we signed up. Omg! I haven't had so much fun since well before the pandemic!! I absolutely recommend it! Our room was clean, well appointed, smoke (and smell) free. There was only a little noise from the drag show but the last one finishes at about 10:30 then it's dead quiet. Being on Commercial made it a no brained for us to hop out for breakfast, coffee, shopping, or a drink. Very convenient.

We came to providence on a Sunday afternoon, and after a long day of walking you knew that there were many restaurants, it appeared as if though there was one restaurant on every block. The person in the front greeted us and was advertising by the menu in the front. I normally stay away such restaurants because it meant either business was slow, food was bad, simply desperate for business or all of the above. In addition, they were running a promotion where it was buy one entree and get second entree half price. That was another red flag for me. My group of 6 decided to come here for dinner and we were pleasantly surprised on the amazing food and service. The person in the front, which appeared to be the owner if the restaurant, was really nice from beginning to end. He did a lot of work, from advertising in the front to cleaning and clearing tables. I was very impressed with his attitude and energy. He realized my wife was pregnant and went next door to a candy store and got her a M&M chocolate pretzel stick. He really didn't have to, but he did and said this is for her because she was pregnant. He was so nice! Tony, our waiter was very helpful in confirming and recommending great tasting dishes. And everything that we ordered from brussel sprouts, fried eggplant fries, lobster mac and cheese, a beef short rib dish, and mixed seafood dish. The taste of each dish was so flavorful and each bite allowed my tastebuds to dance with celebration. When I come back to Provincetown, I will definitely be returning to this restaurant.

Amazing. We loved the calamari and the salad to start. We had amazing drinks that elevated the pre- meal atmosphere. The scallops were cooked to perfection and elevated our evening to the highest of expectations. The chowder was beyond the context of expectation. Coming from a New England expert, the texture and flavoring of the Chowder was beyond heaven. We will be back as many times as possible. Chef Christopher Thames is a step above the chefs we are used to in Boston. This person is high above the expectations of a vacation night out. Our evening was hosted by Mackenzie, our favorite host with the most. He made us feel as special as we are. :)

I only went to the drag brunch so this is specifically referring to that. We were given a pre-prepared plate of heated up sausage, eggs, and chicken wings. There was no opportunity to chose a different option for vegetarians, vegans, or anytime who wanted a quality meal. It looked like what you would get in a school cafeteria. No drinks were included, even got charged extra for hot drip coffee. We weren't given the option to have cream, sugar, or milk for the coffee either. Our waiter was very nice but had an insanely bad memory and kept giving us drinks that we hadn't ordered. I can't believe a brunch this bad has survived in a town with so many amazing restaurants. The drag show itself was decent but also mediocre and half-hearted, but much better than the meal.

Martin S.

Yelp
Had a reservation for 2:45, spent $20 on nearby parking just to get turned away at the door. Host said they're closing at 3:00 to "convert to dinner". He turned away a large party ahead of us who had reservations at 2:30pm. By the time the host was able to help us it was 2:58 pm. Why take reservation if you're going to turn people away with some nonsense explanation. If that's a representation of the service at this place...NO THANKS! There are SO MANY other (better) restaurants in the area. In fact we are at "The Patio" now where they truly have THE BEST clam chowder, great service, where we got in with no wait ... Cheers!

Pilgrim House is in such an ideal location for access to all of Provincetown's offerings. It is set back off of Commercial Street and is located in the East End. You are surrounded by coffee shops, restaurants and art galleries. It is a lovely break from the high energy downtown area. We spent a long weekend in the 2 bedroom unit. The room was clean, spacious and had a king bed in one room and a queen in the other. This hotel is pet friendly (aside from select rooms including the 2 bedroom unit. The first floor has a cute bar and restaurant area with a showroom in the back that houses a variety of shows throughout the season. Staff was accommodating, friendly and made the staff even more enjoyable.

I have had a horrible experience planning a trip to this B&B. They do NOT adhere to their refund policy so be very cautious paying a deposit or reserving here. They have kept half my deposit and after many phone calls and emails I have not received a refund. Look elsewhere ! You've been warned.

If I could give a half a star I would. When we arrived our toilet overflowed when we pulled the chain. Lucky we knew how to turn off the water by the valve. There was water all over our bathroom floor. We got Kevin from the main desk to plunge the toilet and clean up the bathroom. He told us about another guest that didn't know how to turn off the valve and damaged the 1st floor where they setup for their show. Next we were told we had to keep our a/c on not to change it to a different mode because the unit would effect 4 other units tied to it. After the 1st night it was very musty in the room. We had a reservation for 4 nights but had to leave 1 day early due to a personal medical situation at home. We were told Kevin will call us for a credit or refund. After multiple calls Kevin never called or had the courtesy to respond to us. After multiple calls again, we heard from a lady saying we would not get either. She was not sympathetic at all (poor customer service). This place is not cheap, and certainly not worth the expensive rate they charge. I would not suggest ANYONE to stay here.

We were so excited for a pre dinner cocktail at this hip vibe spot. It's very cool, very trendy. We were seated at a comfy bench lounge area next to a gorgeous fireplace. Service was helpful and friendly. The rest was downhill. The music is a bit loud but the playlist, awful. Katie Perry pop then Willie Nelson. Why not have some deep house playing softly to compliment this gorgeous spot. My partner's Manhattan was an epic fail; it tasted like watered down booze. He opted for Bullet and was charged 12.00 for a really bad drink. We left very disappointed. This place has promise and perhaps our experience was unique and isolated?

My friends and I were looking for an oyster happy hour in town, and this was the one we ended up landing on after talking to the guy advertising outside. Once inside, we realized this is a hotel restaurant, which wasn't exactly the vibe we were looking for. However, we stuck around for the seafood and had an enjoyable albeit pricey light meal. We started off with oysters and cocktail shrimp, all of which were delicious. The shrimp were massive and perfectly cooked. The cocktail sauce was some of the spiciest I've ever had. I can handle a decent amount of heat, and I still felt like my mouth was on fire the entire time. Then we all shared a bunch of the appetizers, including the fried brussels sprouts, the fried calamari, the roasted beet salad, the crab cake, and the eggplant fries. The standout was the brussels sprouts, which were some of the best I've had. The combo of crispy onions, currants, and capers was addictive, and we were fighting over the last bits. The rest of the food was tasty but forgettable. Prices are definitely high compared to portion sizes. Our waiter was lovely, and the atmosphere is quiet, almost too quiet, as we were practically the only customers in the restaurant. All in all, it was a good meal, but I'm sure there are better dinner options in the city.

I can't believe I've never written a review of Sage before. I've been here several times over the last few years and must say that it's one of my favorite places in town. The lounge vibe is always inviting; the lighting is just right and the staff is super friendly. I usually get some kind of wonderful cocktail and appetizers to share. Last night I went with a scotch - neat - and the lobster sliders. The sliders were absolutely delicious. Perfect portion for a not too heavy meal and the flavors were spot on. They were served with a side of homemade potato chips that were delightful. Others at the table had flatbread pizzas, warm brie and the "tops and bottoms" appetizer (pita bread slices served with 3 different toppings: goat cheese, tapenade and hummus). For dessert, I couldn't resist the chocolate hazelnut concoction with mouse and ganache...our fabulous waiter talked me into it and I have no regrets. Always a great experience.

My advice to anyone booking a show at the Pilgrim House is don't do it. There is a No Refund Policy. They do not post in their website or Thundertix.com about any kind of show refund policy. As a matter of fact, our local Provincetown Community website has a post from them that they have no intention of refunding during the Delta COVID outbreak. When I had to cancel because a child in my household was high risk for Delta-regardless of mask-wearing- I got a snippy "we don't do refunds" and when I asked why- I was told they would have someone call me back (crickets both times I called). The other reservations I had in Provincetown kindly Issued full refunds. I would have rebooked the show if the venue at least posted something - even at a loss. Now I will Never book Nor recommend. I am not wealthy and out $80 Thank you PH

AMAZING ! CLASSY & DELICIOUS ! We came here while on vacation and it was our 2nd visit in a few years. Ownership has changed & we had an old ( 2 years old ) 3rd party gift certificate that we had purchased, from a vendor the new owners are no longer associated with. The manager was so friendly, gracious & abundantly generous in welcoming us & even treating us to top notch cocktails & Wellfleet oysters . The service with Tony was excellent and the food is to die for ( we each had the seared halibut ). I can't say enough good things about this place. GREAT !

Despite incredible performers, I really cannot recommend this restaurant. We attended a Sunday drag brunch in August 2021, and had called in advance to confirm that the restaurant could accomodate our group's dietary restrictions (2 vegetarians and 1 dairy allergy). They confirmed that they could since the brunch buffet had multiple options. Unfortunately, in the time between booking and attending, they switched from a buffet to a pre-made brunch box due to Covid concerns. While this switch was reasonable given the surge in cases, what was NOT reasonable was their inability to accomodate basic modifications. The base plate included fruit, eggs, Hawaiian fried rice, chicken wings, sausage, and French toast. We asked if plates could be brought without meat, and the server + chef initially told us no. It took us requesting a manager to be brought a scoop of just the fried rice (at the same $20.21 prix fixe price), despite us explaining the difference between vegetarian vs. vegan and assuring them we didn't need extra food - just a plate with the meat options removed, which they couldn't accomodate. Our friend with a dairy allergy was told everything was safe to eat, but the French toast almost certainly contained dairy. If you have any kind of allergies/restrictions (or want to be able to select your own food!), do not attend this establishment! While we loved the performers, the brunch was severely lackluster and the kitchen was clearly not trained in allergy preparedness.

We had such high hope for this place. Sat down, ordered a bottle of wine, lobster bisque came out that was pretty good, then this happened. These poor scallops happened. They're burnt completely on both sides. I took a bite, it was bitter. I told the waitress that they're all burnt and and bitter. She then tried to convince me that this is how scallops supposed to be cooked. Haha. Are you serious? I told her it's bitter even then it's not burnt? This place treated us like we're idiots. We even got charged for the replacement dish. This was a $150 dinner. No thanks. I asked for bread three times. Finally it came out after the meals are done. - instagram @mkinthekitchen

The food was amazing! We ordered the calamari for appetizer and the short ribs for the main entree. The short rib was so delicious and well cooked. It melted in the mouth. The service was also great. We will definitely come back!

So disappointed that we had to walk out on our reservation tonight. The host showed us to our table, which was in the back of the room near the door to the bathroom and part of the top of the table was literally under the bar. I asked if we could sit at the two top table in the middle of the room. We were simply told no. We politely told the we were not sitting at the back table during this time of COVID and asked the host to cancel our reservation, which he did.

This review is mostly about the "Inn" side of this business. We stayed in room 307 for 5 nights during Bear Week. Chris C. (review dtd 11/15/2012 quoted below) and I agree 100% on the biggest negative issue: "the lack of a public area for guests to hang out in. Since he entire downstairs is given over to a lounge and public spaces, there is no place to just hang out and read, have coffee, etc. There is a small upstairs lobby area and smaller function / overflow bar. Those need to be turned into space for paying hotel guests to hang out" We were allowed (and even encouraged) to hang out in the space IF (big "if") no other paying function is scheduled. There were 4 semi-comfortable chairs in the space and 2 user friendly 4 person tables. No place to "lounge"; i.e. put your feet up and lounge . All the chairs on 2nd floor balcony are hard and straight back. There is a comfy outdoor lounge area with comfy cushioned furniture on the 1st floor BUT (big "but") you can not take alcoholic drinks out there. (I am betting that is a legal, nonnegotiable, restriction.) Note: Room 307 has 2 straight back cane chairs and a wooden round table. That is why this shortcoming is important. Room 307 has a small refrigerator also (unlike Chris C.'s room). I was glad to see that. That saved the 1/2 of a huge pork chop I had left over from one meal. There is no microwave in the room or "make-your-own" coffee service tray. The breakfast is is no protein/high carbohydrate; which is typical inn fare. Only fruit I saw was grapefruit. I need protein to start my day right so that was a none starter for us. (Mostly) Good stuff: Friendly, helpful staff and owners. Everyone we came in contact with was 100% customer oriented. Location. Location. Location: Set back just enough off Commercial St to dim the noise. You can still people watch from 2nd floor balcony. Quiet rooms. No problem with noise even during Bear Week. It is about as close to the "heart" of the PTown action as you can get. Ideal if you are using the Ferry. Free parking for 3 of our 5 night stay. Moved to Private Parking for 2 days ($26 daily). Pets allowed (apparently). There were a few friendly pets in other rooms. Restaurant: The bartender and drinks are killer good. The food is excellent. We had a SPAM slider (with Kimchi) that was surprisingly excellent. Yes the portions are small-ish and the prices PTown high. Nevertheless, we will eat here when we come back to PTown even if we do not stay here. Summary: I would stay here again for a shorter stay (no more than 3 days). After hitting all the spots for 3 days you body wants to "lounge-out" but you don't want to be cooped up by 4 view-less room walls either.

The cocktails were OUTSTANDING, nothing like I ever tasted before! The shrimp and grits were the best I ever tasted! The clam chowder tasted extremely fresh! Lemon chicken pasta was also amazing! Lobster wontons were also unique and tasty! Definitely make this place a go to when you're in Provincetown.

Ate at the restaurant, and then saw a show. Dinner was great! Not sure if short staffed or just busier than it has been, but waiter seemed a little out of sorts. Very friendly and helpful regardless. The food was good. Restaurant had great ambience and was very clean. The show was excellent! Liked the set up and everything seemed very well managed. We will likely make it a point to stay here in the near future, too. We just loved everything about Pilgrim House!

Went here with a large group before the Miss Richfield show in order to get reserved seating in the first few rows. It was great to be in the first few rows for the show, but I wouldn't go back to the restaurant. Though this place served up some good drinks, they took about 15-20 minutes to get to us. And mind you, this is a dinner that has a fixed time since we had to head to the show afterward, so it just did not hit the mark. Even worse was the food service. We had a show starting at 8:30pm--which they know about since it's their show--and we barely had our food at 8:10pm. In addition, there were several people in our party that either did not receive their appetizers or entrees or had them mixed up with other diners. Nevertheless, the whole experience was a mess and one member of our group had to foot the bill for the entire table of 15 people just to get us to the show on time. I ordered the lemon chicken--which was a bit lackluster as the portion size was small and it was a bit soupy with the amount of sauce. Overall, this was easily our least favorite meal in Ptown as we have become accustomed to some very high quality food in town. Unfortunately, the quality was the least of our worries as the inability of the wait staff and kitchen to churn out drinks and food in a timely manner--to get us to a show that we ate at that restaurant to get VIP seating for--was honestly unacceptable. I know this is a revamped location with some new elements, but they really need to work on this--especially if they plan to continue offering VIP seating for dining in the restaurant beforehand.

We stayed at Pilgrim House during the pandemic, and it was a delight. Kevin was incredibly helpful when we were running late to help us set up dinner reservations and make sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Our server, McKenzie, was personable, knowledgeable, and incredibly nice. Everything was clean, and staff did a great job being strict with COVID-19 protocol (masks, cleaning, etc). The only drawback and reason this isn't five stars is that the bed was not very comfortable, and it was so squeaky every time we moved it sounded like we were on a bed of balloons. However, as someone with back problems, I did not end up stiff or in pain the next morning. Overall, it was a great experience and I'm sure we will stay here again the next time we visit Ptown.

I had a five star experience here. There were no negative items to report. Four of us stopped by for happy hour on a rainy Saturday. We had a late dinner that night and wanted some cocktails and raw bar early. The owner came over to greet us once we sat down, as did the server. The owner was very nice and had a lot of energy. I wasn't drinking that night so she made me a virgin Blackberry Mojito. It hit the spot. Our friends got bloody Mary's and perfect Manhattans. They raved about the cocktails and also mentioned that they were made strong (the way they like them). We were upstairs in the bar/ lounge area which was perfect. It was very clean and comfortable. We ordered a dozen and a half oysters and a dozen and half shrimp. The food was all great. The shrimp were the biggest type restaurants carry (collosal I think), but they weren't rubbery or tough at all. They were very fresh and crisp. They also gave us extra horseradish. The bar was 80% full. We didn't have to wait to be seated, or wait for food or drinks. I liked the music they were playing and several guests were singing along. There was a nice breeze coming in from the open patio doors. A few guests sat out on the balcony where you can look out over commercial street. I didn't pick up the check on this one so I can't speak to the price. I would definitely hang out there again in the future. It was upscale but still centrally located/ in the action of commercial street.

Made a reservation here last minute and was initially hesitant because dining can be hit or miss in Provincetown. We ended up having a lovely evening! The flatbread with goat cheese, caramelized onions, and granny smith apples absolutely hit the spot. The pureed sweet potato soup with chorizo was excellent as well. We ended up really enjoying Pilgrim House and it was a nice respite being tucked away in the patio off the main drag. Highly recommend the flatbread and can't wait to try more off of the menu next time.

We've been staying at the Cape all summer for years, but this was the first time we tried The Pilgrim House... wish we had come here sooner! Quite possibly our new favorite restaurant on Cape Cod. The highlights: - all of the sliders... so flavorful with delicious and crispy buttered buns that take them to the next level! - the fries... crispy and perfectly seasoned - the lobster Mac and cheese... perfect portion and delicious cream sauce, with generous amounts of lobster We had more than the above, and it was all amazing. Only thing we didn't care for too much was the lobster bisque, only because it had a little too much cayenne for our liking. This too was loaded with lobster though! Our server Hattie was absolutely fantastic. She made the meal that much better with her smile, warm personality, and great conversation! Chef Dan also came out to ask us how we were enjoying the food and thank us for coming. The staff was so great all around! If you're looking for a great restaurant - go to The Pilgrim House!

What a jewel of a small, boutique hotel.... right in heart if downtown PTown. Fabulous breakfast buffet. Perfectly appointed rooms with high thread count linens. Very warm and effective welcome. Attention to smaller details such as a stocked beach bag if you wish to foray to the ocean. A from this guy who traveled non stop Pre retirement Well done.

Great meal and service ! We went to the Pilgrim House last night for dinner. Andrew was our server and was wonderful. We had the braised short rib for $27.00 which was amazing ! The presentation and taste was spectacular! Chef Chris from New Orleans came to our table a few times to see how we were enjoying everything which was a nice added touch. The restaurant was spotless and great social distancing. The Pilgrim House is a bit of a hidden gem and would love to see more outdoor seating along the red brick walkway so everyone knows you exist ( The Pilgrim House is set back a bit from the sidewalk on Commercial St ). We'll be back !

Stop looking for love if you love food. Dan the chief and the bar staff ( Colin ) will take your breath away. Yes you're not on the water but with your eyes rolled back in your head with the drinks and food, who cares? You are in your happy place.

We walked up to the place and were quite impressed with the ambiance and talked about making a dinner reservation. For that night, we had showed up for "Drag Bingo". We were told the event was sold out. A gracious person who was working the event and a few others told us they would have to check, but had thought there was a cancellation and they could fit us in. They checked with with the host who was seating people for dinner. The host was rude and ignored us. We decided to move on and waved to the nice people who had been so gracious to us. The host dude, who had obviously taken a pompous ass pill, continued to ignore us as we left. He definitely had a broom up his derriere and attitude to beat all.

This is a beautiful property right in the heart of PTown. The restaurant has many excellent choices. I especially enjoyed the breakfast. The rooms have comfortable beds. I've stayed in a few different ones over the years. They are always clean and comfortable. The best part though is the ownership. They are great to work with. Very inviting and easy to work with. They make you feel like a long lost relative.

After reading all the great reviews of this place, we were pretty disappointed with the drinks, food and the overall experience at the restaurant. We made the decision to go here based off of Yelp reviews, as well as Chef Lucio Garnica's Instagram profile (lgarnica1) where he displays many of his dishes. This however, was a bad idea as most of the dishes on his Instagram were not offered on the menu. So we had to choose dishes from a menu that was frankly not that interesting. And to make matters worse, half the dishes we ordered were great, but the other half were terrible. Here's what we got: Blood Orange "Frozen" Margarita - was actually not frozen ice, but rather crushed ice. That being said, the flavor was good. Sage and Cucumber Cocktail - I normally don't complain about too much alcohol, but this drink had way too much and was too overpowering. Couldn't even taste the cucumber. Bad. Byron Pinot Noir from Central Coast, California - I normally like Pinot's from Central Valley/Coast, CA, but this one was downright terrible. The waiter/manager was raving about it, but frankly, he was wrong. I'm a Sommelier for fun, so I think I know wine fairly well. Pass. Half Dozen Oysters in a Soy Foam - this was horrendous. Normally I wouldn't ruin a good oyster, especially since we were in a place where they come out of the backyard, but thought we'd try it as the waiter recommended it. I had one oyster and almost sent it back. The smell was so bad that I couldn't tell if it was because the oyster was spoiled or if that's what the foam was supposed to smell like. Then I ate it cause I thought that's how it was supposed to smell, but then couldn't taste anything but a sweet and somewhat sour soy sauce. That's pretty much all I tasted. It was bad, real bad. Pass. Traditional Gazpacho with Prawns - the flavor of the soup was actually pretty good, however two things were a major annoyance. First, they give you three prawns, which is great, but the problem is, they left the tail shells on. So, we had to either bite the tail off and handle a wet soupy tail with our fingers, or, try to cut off the tails with our spoons. Well I chose the latter, and on the second prawn, as I was attempting to cut it with my spoon, the bowl tipped and most of my soup fell on the table. So, note to chef...either: a) remove the tails before you serve them in the soup, or b) use bowls with a larger base. But on second thought, just remove the tails before served as your customers shouldn't have to work their food. "Fried" Scallops - scallops were not actually fried, but rather seared, and were actually excellent. Probably the best thing on the menu. The flavors, textures, along with the polenta and egg yolk were excellent. If only all our dishes were this good. Great dish. Beef Short Rib - another great dish, with excellent flavor and mushrooms were tasty. Not as great as the scallops, but pretty close. Another good dish to get. So, as you can see, two dishes were excellent, one was ok and one completely sucked. And for cocktails/wine, one was good and the other two were terrible. So, this place is hit or miss. Ambiance was nice, irrespective of the "W Hotel-type lobby music" they play in the restaurant. Cool artwork and modern seating, but it almost seemed like they were trying to hard, thus resulting a "hip" restaurant you'd find in the suburbs that's trying to feel like it's in the city. Wasn't a deal killer, but lent to a more drinking feel than eating feel. Service was fairly good at times and then fairly bad at times. Just like the dishes, hit or miss. Lastly, and something that can be easily fixed. The menu doesn't describe each dish very well and leaves out descriptive words that could give you a better idea of what it's going to taste like. Many of the dishes we ordered, based off verbiage in the menu, turned out to taste completely different than what we expected. For example, the menu says "Blood Orange FROZEN Margarita", so to me, that means finely blended ice as you would get from a frozen machine, but when it arrived, it was just crushed ice...very different than what I wanted and was prepared for. Another example is the "FRIED Scallops". We ordered it cause we never had "fried" scallops before, but when the dish came, the scallops were SEARED, NOT FRIED. We weren't disappointed as they were excellent, but still, caused some confusion and shows that the Menu Verbiage needs to be fixed. Overall, this place is hit or miss, and at $126 for our crappy meal, I'd pass on it and send you to Canteen, albeit a different kind of restaurant (casual), but at least the food is excellent and you know what you're getting. But if you must go to Sage, then do so at your own risk. Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and hit on all dishes, but gambling always favors the casino, so you'll probably end up like I did - 50/50 on good vs bad drinks and dishes.
