Strangers & Saints

It’s out first time in Ptown and so we’ve been asking people we run into for restaurant recommendations. Many recommended Sal’s, Red Inn, etc. This has been our favourite recommended place for the few days we’ve been here so far. The restaurant feels like you can make the experience what you want, dress up or be comfortable. We loved the garden seating in the back where we were sort of outside but not right on the front and facing the street. Drinks were good, food was great as well. Enjoyed the pork belly and shrimps the most. Octopus was a bit too charred and chewy - a bit overdone, but the hummus was very good. Ricotta dumplings I did not enjoy because the greens combo was bitter and spicy, but others at our table liked it.

I truly wish I got the experience to eat here or try their drinks but we arrived and were rudely told by the owner that he had brushed all our reservations aside for a last minute private event, that apparently took precedent over all reservations despite a lack of any notice whatsoever. We had come all the way up the cape for this specific reservation for dinner, yet this owner was incredibly dismissive and even giggled at our confusion; so unprofessional and will not return.

As a local I had a few friends in town - so we made a 10 person reservation that we had email confirmation of. When we arrived at our reservation, on time, we spoke to the owner who very rudely said “we forgot about that - sorry bye.” he had booked, as he said, a same day private event. We asked if we could sit outside for a drink where there was obviously space and he told us the bar was “too crowded”…..Good “drinks” but rude and condensing owner. The cocktails aren’t good enough to justify rude treatment. In my opinion, better off going to taco bell cantina. Would leave 0 stars if i could. It’s hard to be a decent person.

I originally booked this place, because I thought the interior was so cute. Unfortunately, they had us sitting in a back sort of makeshift area. The star of the show here was definitely the drinks, and the black eyed pea hummus that came with the octopus. The food was good, but nothing I would come back for. We asked for recommendations on the menu and were told that everything was good. That wasn’t exactly helpful for people who have never been here before. I always ask for recommendations, and you can usually never go wrong with that. The atmosphere was just OK since we sat in the back, the inside was so cute and definitely very lively.

So very happy to be back here. We stopped in a bit early before making the crawl down Commercial for dinner. The cocktails are truly wonderful, some of our favorites ever. If you’re looking for an interesting cocktail incredibly executed with some local house made ingredients, stop here. The place has atmosphere for days and the people are wonderful. We had Bradford’s Revenge, Heart of the Tides, The First Spaniel, and the Lavender Sidecar, all delightful.

Everything was really enjoyable. The cocktails were fantastic! Particularly in enjoyed the Alden's Yellow Dress, very refreshing! From the appetizers the Grilled Octopus was cooked to perfection. And from the entrees, the Wild Mushroom and Fennel Sausage Pizza was very tasty, and so was the House Made Ricotta Cavatelli. But the Magical Chocoflan dessert was absolutely delicious! No wonder this place is hard to book and get a table for. I will definitely come back!

What a gem of a place! Whether you are a stranger or saint- you gotta come together here for an amazing evening with delicious dinner and delightful service. The decor is beautifully warm & antique. The vibe is upbeat & overall the place works like a well oiled machine. Our server was genuinely friendly & gave us extraordinary advice on food & drink pairings. We went ahead with a couple of interesting cocktails, hummus platter, citrus salmon, moroccan carrots, and chef’s pizza. Each item tasted fresh & pretty satisfying overall. Chef’s pizza had linguica which IMO was very salty and overall the contrasting sweet figs & balsamic glaze couldn’t quite balance the flavors. I gave my feedback and server graciously listened to it & also offered me a complimentary glass of wine to help cut through the saltiness. Brownie points! While writing this review, I just saw the menu and noticed that they changed the pizza recipe. Guess I was heard! S&S is a perfect example of how a restaurant experience should be. May you live long & spread the love.

One of the best in Provincetown. The atmosphere is dark and inviting with a classic look but not outdated or old. The staff is helpful and accommodating. The food is top notch. These are small plates meant to be shared. The complex layered flavors are worth the effort of making a reservation and trip to get here. P-Town had many attractions and this should be counted as one of them.
