The Red Inn

This review is for the restaurant/bar specifically at happy hour Place is easy to find (as are most in PTown) a quick bike ride away from the main drag and you are greeted with a picturesque Inn right on the water. Plenty of parking across the street. We sat on the water side deck, it was wonderful on a sunny day but I could see it getting cool depending on the weather so dress accordingly. Cocktails were well made and the happy hour specials were substantial, definitely recommend the oysters and a side of fries. Overall a great stop for a cold drink and some tasty food after a long day at Race Point Beach. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

The building itself is stunning. Such an elegant feel inside the restaurant. Food - not good at all. Got oysters which were okay. Entrees for dinner - would never recommend. The codfish and scallops were both so dry. The staff does not smile and is not very attentive. Got two drinks and we couldn’t drink either, they were both so horrible. Honestly best part was the bread pudding dessert. Would not recommend if you’re looking for a nicer place in Provincetown.

We went here for a few cocktails after walking around PTown and loved it! The deck is right on the water which made for a beautiful backdrop to enjoy our drinks. Oysters were fresh and delicious.

We have typically enjoyed the Red Inn, which you need to book well in advance of your trip. This time, the experience was not the best. The restaurant needs to figure out how to bring air conditioning into the space. It was warm and humid when we went for dinner, but fans in a corner and keeping the doors open does not cut it. It made sitting through the meal uncomfortable. Also, our server was not the best. While we were ready to place all of our order at the start, she insisted we could not do it that way since drinks and food needed to be staggered so she would take each order at different times. Ridiculous. The drinks took a long time to arrive, as did the entrees. I don't mind spending two hours for a leisurely meal or spending a lot, but based on this experience, we will think twice about going back. There are plenty of fine restaurants in Ptown, and The Red Inn is just not all that.

I’ve been meaning to write this review for 2 months, and all that time later, I can’t begin to describe how much we love this Inn. The people who work there and run it are so kind, so thoughtful and made things work beautifully for us when we had a hiccup with our stay. Our room was gorgeous, beautiful water views, the restaurant is our favorite on the cape. Thank you Red Inn, we’ll always be back!!

Beautiful view (waterfront seating), lovely server, tasty filet….but then….the porterhouse. Huge disappointment. Although it was cooked to ordered rare temperature, the flavor fell flat as the overall taste and texture was “dry”. It exuded nothing like you would get at Morton’s, Del Frisco’s, etc. It just seemed that it was what one would expect from a beef grade of Select, or Choice at best.

The cocktails, appetizers, main course, and desert were all amazing. Our compliments to the chef and bartender, and to our very congenial server, Karlo. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the table for two that we were given was inadequate and cramped. My chair was hitting the guest behind me, and my partners seat was in the hallway/walkway that is used by the servers and guests. This made it very difficult to hear each other, and it was uncomfortable. When I made the reservation, I requested a window table, which we didn't get. We've owned and operated a hospitality business for 20 years, and we do our best to see that all requests are met. If they can't be met, we notify the guest. I don't like to put negative reviews on here, but his awkward table put a damper on our evening at a restaurant that we've always enjoyed. :(

I went for happy hour. It’s a deal on the raw bar, but the chewy half-lobster tail for $18 and the watery drinks detracted from the experience. Next time I’d just order oysters and clams and a beer. Great view and friendly waitstaff. No wait and a great table outdoors.

The red inn is a must don't believe negative reviews Phil and the host were helpful getting us in last minute sat at the bar Johnny and the other bartender were friendly funny and professional ! Not rushed the food was great and had a great time with the guests next to us my sister took me for my birthday and will definitely be back thank you all for a great and memorable night! Ava

Amazing views, excellent service, delicious meal. A must! Lobster fondue to start was SO good! Pepper encrusted filet mignon did not disappoint.

I've had some really great dinners here, unfortunately, the other night wasn't one of them. The kitchen timing was totally messed up. They brought out the first two courses at the same time (raw bar and soup & salad), then showed up with the main courses just as we literally finished the apps--with the empty plates still not cleared, no where to put the dinners on the table. This wasn't the waiters fault, as we heard him say, "who fired this!" as he rushed over to clear the table. Food was okay, but broccolini was cold and the french fries were limp and not hot either. We were celebrating a birthday and didn't want to complain...focused on our company and the great water view instead. And then the bill arrived. You know that saying, if you have to ask how much something is, don't buy it! Well, the ala carte grilled lobster tail was $75... At over $100/person, they need to do better...

Dined at the restaurant. Nice selection of menu items. Very quaint ambiance with okay service. Food was exceptional. A bit pricey but if you are looking for a nice experience with water views give it a go.

Our best meal in town! This restaurant is SO cute, the building is more than 200 years old, which is wild, the food was delicious, the waiting times from the time you sit to the time you get drinks and finally order the food were a little too much, the whole dinner took like 3 hours which is a lot but at least we enjoyed each others company! I had the seafood pasta, and it was perfect! I also tried the coconut shrimp and lobster chowder, both tasty! The service was excellent but slow. The place is cute, a little bit of a walk from the center of the town, but if it's nice outside, the walk is delightful! I would definitely go back!

Consistently fantastic food, service and views. The Red Inn is absolutely charming and our favorite place to go on the outer Cape.

Nice place for happy hour. View of the water, several dining rooms to choose from. Their HH menu is seafood centric so be ready to enjoy some nice fruits de mer here. HH is everyday day from 2-4:30p. Our server was really nice and friendly. The rooms can get very loud with customers speaking with loud voices. But that can happen anywhere. The lobster slider was nice, chunky and moist. I had to ask for red pepper flakes to spicy it up a bit. The beef sliders were delicious!

Just finished eating there. Very nice place, right on. The water overlooking the harbor. Food was excellent. I had the cod and it was one of the best I ever had. Great for special occasion or anytime

Finally got to take my daughter to my favorite happy hour deck in Provincetown, the charming Red Inn. A gorgeous June Sunday and everyone there was enjoying. The deck was full of people loving the solstice light and light and light. We had a great spicy margarita and their special martini. The view as always, spectacular. They keep the inside bar and eating area so nice looking. Will get there for dinner soon I hope. The front entrance way is so sweet too. Cheers to the Red Inn.

Love, love, love! The Red Inn never disappoints! Booked this for me and my husband's last date night dinner in Ptown, which is always how we end our vacations there. It is the perfect way to end a lovely trip to the Cape. Our waitress was superb, professional, and personable. Our drinks were delicious and food was superb. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Restaurant review: What a wonderful night! Here are my thoughts after dining for the first time. (September 2023) First of all, Jonny and Stephanie are amazing. Drinks and oysters - the dirty martini is the perfect balance of brine and juice and olives and vodka. I always get a "Dirty Kettle" and compliments to the bartender and the server for bringing them out perfectly timed to pair with the oysters. (And yes we got bread and butter perfectly timed just before). Food is sublime: Highly recommend the crawfish seafood fresh pasta special and the duck, after either the lobster sliders or the soup. We went for the Lobster and Corn chowder as a second course after wellfleet oysters. Soup was rich, meaty, and just the right level of tomato essence and spice. Food is fresh, delicious and five star service for everything from plating to execution and thoughtful clearing. Intrinsically sophisticated, yet approachable and friendly: that's the vibe I got. Ask for Stephanie or Tommy as your server.(both amazing, we had Stephanie for the evening) and make sure to see if Jonny is the bartender who can truly surprise you with his skills of custom drinks. Above and Beyond: Special shout out to Jonny for making the perfect dirty martini to go with my wellfleet oysters, yes i am saying it again because it was *that* good. Thank you to Stephanie for making sure to give me perfect recommendations with my food allergies and preferences (even confirming with the chef/kitchen without me prompting) along with timing everything in the right order especially given the fact that we were the last table seated, but felt like we had all the time in the world and were completely at ease. Comment on other reviews: (Not sure why there are so many recent low reviews, we had an amazing romantic date night and never felt rushed or sent anything back) For those of you wanting a seaside restaurant that is more focused on pomp and stiff "butler type folded napkin when you stand service" , I have some "mewsings" about where you can go on the other side of town - We would pick The Red Inn over other options any day of the week. Overall impression: We loved the approachable luxury vibe, and the caring, genuine touches at The Red Inn our server took to make sure our dining experience surpassed expectations. Always there when we needed her but never felt intruded upon or interrupted - this is what fine dining is at it's best. From the timing of our 3-4 courses to the wine pairings and the flavorful food, everything was perfect. The Red Inn is where those "in the know" will continue to go! Thank you Stephanie!!

Over three visits, this very lovely restaurant with the best water view IMO, is a great choice. Highlights were the cocktails, anything on the Raw Bar menu, the Pan roasted free range Chicken, the Shrimp/Crawfish pasta special, and the Pan roasted local Cod. The Pepper crusted Filet Mignon and a la carte Sirloin were overcooked. Gazpacho was over-red onioned to the extreme. That said, great service each visit and enjoy it immensely overall.

I've never had a bad meal at The Red Inn. And they finally have outdoor dining (thank you, Covid)! My favorites here are: - Crispy Panko Crusted Shrimp - Pepper Crusted Filet Mignon - Crème Brûlée

The food is wonderful. The drinks are perfection. The setting is beautiful. The staff are the nicest people around.

Do not visit PTown and miss out on the Red Inn. Amazing cocktails and food. Great service. Especially if you sit at the bar. BOB is fantastic! Attentive and so funny. Great work Red Inn!

We have been coming to the Cape for over a decade now, but this was our first visit to The Red Inn. It lived up to expectations. Excellent service. We were seated at a high top in the bar area. (No reservations) we started with shrimp cocktail which was perfect. Large shrimp with a light creole seasoning. Next we had the cod and scallop entrees each with a salad. (Caesar and the red inn salad). Everything was delicious... amazingly fresh and high quality, perfectly prepared and all arrived in a timely manner. The atmosphere is terrific, the service was perfect and the food was top notch. Could not have asked for anything better. We have eaten at many establishments in P-town and on the Cape in general over the years. The Red Inn is now at the top of our list. We will be back for sure! If you're visiting P-town, put this on your to-do list. You'll be glad you did!!

One certainly needs to make reservations weeks, if not months in advance. Nonetheless, we saw them take a walk-in for the bar, so it's possible without reservations. It is a beautiful building inside and out, but they don't have AC, so expect a very warm interior during summer evenings, unless there is a good bay breeze. Can also be quite loud if there is a larger party, but that can happen anywhere. Service and meals are fantastic.

Definitely one of our favorites! The food is sensational, the duck presentation and baked oysters were fantastic as well as the evening special which was a pasta with crayfish and shrimp. We sat on the deck overlooking the bay which was amazing. Our server was wonderful and made the meal all that much better if that was even possible. A well curated wine list compliments the meal.

A must for a stay in Provincetown is a meal at the Red Inn. Drinks are well made, I have never been disappointed in any items off the menu. Service is spot on as well. The views of the Cape are wonderful.

A Ptown standard for years. The New Orleans chef brings a flair to the menu that southern folks will appreciate! The ambiance is amazing, though a bit on the loud side. If your sensitive to noise ask to sit in the room away from the bar. Still a bit loud but better.... That said, there is nothing in like dining right on the water at the edge of town... a great romantic spot to take your love, or a perfect location for you and your 6 friends to gather. The Seafood DiAvalo is one of my personal favorites. Save room for dessert... Also if your looking for a fun spot on a warm summer afternoon, head over to the Red Inn and have a drink and an appetizer on the deck while you admire the view.!

This is truly a special place! We arrived for our 7 o'clock reservation last night, but were told our table wasn't ready. We went out on the back deck and ordered drinks and just watched the ocean. It was about a half an hour wait, which we didn't mind that much because of the view. When we were seated, I knew then why we had to wait. When I made the reservation, I asked for a table with a view and that's exactly what we got. Request number one honored. This place was jamming! There were lots of people and they had lots of staff working very hard. All of the staff were very friendly. I started with the cold potato soup and my partner had half of a dozen little neck clams. Both were very good although I made a joke with our server asking if my cold potato soup could be heated in the microwave because it was actually a very chilly evening. She started taking me serious and I just laughed and I said oh, we're only playing a joke on you. My partner had the shrimp and grits, and I had the filet mignon for our entrées. Both were cooked perfectly to our liking. It doesn't happen that often that a restaurant does everything right on all of the orders, but this place was spot on. After our table was cleaned, our server brought over forks and I looked at her and said oh, are we ordering dessert and she replied I guess so. She brought over the most wonderful looking bread pudding with a candle in it. Bingo, request number two honored. When I made the reservation, I said that we are celebrating our birthdays. We usually do this every year, we try to go away in between our birthdays and find one nice place for dinner. This was our last night on Cape Cod and this was our special place for celebrating. If you're looking for that special place for a special dinner, this is the restaurant! Thank you everyone that works very hard to make this place a great restaurant!

Always fabulous, love the view of the water and the lobster sliders are delicious! Go for happy hour and enjoy time out on the deck.

I've been dining here for the past 20 years when I visit Provincetown. Every single time the food is exceptional. The view is amazing and the waitstaff are always friendly. The ambiance is cozy. My favorite place on Cape Cod hands down.

My partner and I come to P'town every September for two. We usually have dinner at Th Red Inn two times during our visit and always for my partner's Birthday on 9-13. We arrived early for 8:30 reservation and we were seated early. The restaurant was crowded as usual. Th ambience was great, the cocktails perfect and our waiter Tiago was professional and cordial. Then everything went south. My partner ordered the Filet - Medium rare and I ordered the Cod which is my favorite. When the food arrived the Filet was well done, so we sent it back. So, I am there with my entree and my partner has nothing. This immediately puts a damper on dinner. When I started eating my Cod I realized that it was way overcooked and the texture was like rubber. After this we just skipped desert and left. I spoke with a manager the next day and he returned my call and said that he let the owner and kitchen know but did not offer anything, even to come back and have a cocktail on the house. Not sure that we will go back again!

Had an okay meal at The Red Inn recommended by our innkeeper. We started with cocktails - a cucumber breeze, Tanqueray and tonic and a Whistle Pig neat - and progressed to a very nice Torre de Golbán tempranillo with our meal. The gazpacho was excellent, very fresh tasting and spicy, paired with small Caesar salads. The pan-fried cod was good and not greasy, buy the seafood linguini and the scallops were both okay, not great. Dessert was a serviceable Key lime pie, and cheesecake with raspberry. Accompanied with an okay espresso. Service was uninspiring. Good enough experience maybe to justify a redo on our next trip. (Review from 10/26/2019)

Always a warm and welcoming place. Beautiful inside and out. Charm and atmosphere round out the excellent dishes. Spot on mixology for a strong finish. Unrivaled staff anywhere on the coast.

Came for our anniversary dinner during a recent stay in Ptown. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but definitely some complaints to he had. The negatives: We were seated on the deck in a row or 2 tops, and there was barely any room. The back of my chair was hitting the person behind me, same for my wife. I'd like a bit more personal space. Whenever a server would step down from the restaurant, the entire deck would shake, which was quite annoying. The good (and mostly good): Food was all pretty solid. Lobster sliders, gazpacho special, lobster corn chowder all good starters. Wife got the lamb chops, which she very much enjoyed, her only complaint is that there's too much rosemary but she doesn't care for it to begin with so take that with a grain of salt. I had the duck and it was...okay. I didn't expect it to be presented as a ball of meat that was already shredded up so that was a surprise. The orange sauce wasn't my thing, too bittersweet. The asparagus that it came with was fine, and the savory bread pudding was way too rich to eat much of. The highlight for me was the peanut butter pie. Best thing I put in my mouth all week. My wife was a little upset that our desserts didn't have "Happy Anniversary" written on the plate or anything of the sort. Our waiter was handed a piece of paper stating that it was our anniversary from the hostess and just said "oh it's that table's anniversary too," thanks for making it special, Tiago.

Six of us had a wonderful dinner at The Red Inn in early June. Both the service and good were great. Definitely a repeat upon our return to Provincetown.

After their recent class-action lawsuit, the Red Inn has fallen and it can't get up. Order a martini and they'll serve you a glass of gin. Why? Because you have to specifically request vermouth in your martini, or you'll get none. (?) Ask for a dinner recommendation and your waiter will mention only the 2 most expensive items on the menu. It's still a cute little place with cute little bartenders and cute little waiters, but for real food and real service, go elsewhere.

A disappointing evening at our beloved Red Inn. Our waiter Tiago was clearly distracted and messed up our initial drink order. When we pointed it out in order to rectify the situation, our waiter was DONE with us. Truly, done. Which of course impacted our entire experience. My husband and I have loved going to the Red Inn for over 20 years. We look forward to returning again for a better experience, the kind of wonderful experience we have come to expect from the Red Inn.

After more than two decades of frequenting the Red Inn restaurant, we find ourselves bidding a farewell. The Red Inn has always been the pinnacle of our dining experiences in Provincetown, a place of celebration for special occasions, and a showcase of the best Ptown had to offer to our visiting friends. Its old-fashioned dining room, the attentive service by the townies, delectable cuisine, and the breathtaking backdrop of stunning views always made our annual Ptown trips extra memorable. However, our most recent experience at the Red Inn has left us disheartened. Despite having a reservation for four in the dining room, we were instead seated at a table at the bar, where the noise levels were intolerably high, rendering any conversation impossible. The dim lighting in the area made it resemble a nightclub, forcing us to use the flashlight on our phones just to see our food. Our waitress was so tired and overworked that she looked visibly sick. When we addressed the issue with the host on duty that night, we were met with disappointment as he regretfully informed us that there was nothing he could do. While we recognize that the Red Inn remains as busy as ever, we can't help but feel that our patronage is no longer valued. Regrettably, we have decided to end our "relationship" with the Red Inn, and the loss is entirely ours to bear. It's a somber chapter for us, having to say goodbye to a place that held so many cherished memories.

We had a quick getaway to Cape Cod and made reservations to eat here. It was all around excellent! We ordered the lobster & artichoke fondue as a starter to share and it was delicious! I then ordered the scallops, which were cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. Last but not least, the service was great! Our waiter was very attentive and made sure every detail of our order was taken cared of. Just make sure you have reservations because it was pretty busy!

The Red Inn has always been our favorite Restaurant in Provincetown-until now. Upon a recent dinner, my party of three was Humiliated. Firstly, the staff tried to put three adults on a table for two-squeezing in a chair. When we advised the staff that this was not acceptable, We were told there were no other tables for us. The irony is that parties of two were sat at tables for four. When asked why two's were sat at four tops, they put their head in the sand. We asked for the acting manager to correct this and the sarcastic response we received is "would you like me to ask someone to move?" When asked to find something for us, we were told "this is the best we got." After much resistance, they "found" a table in the basement and merged it on the outdoor terrace vs. an indoor one. We told the host, that so far this season we have eaten here five times and are now cancelling the sixth reservation. All our reservations were done well-in advance. All during a 8 day stay. The Red Inn has always be our go-to restaurant for summer trips and potential future celebrations. We were embarrassed by the host & staff. Embarrassed and un-appreciated. There are other good restaurants in Provincetown and it's now time to take advantage. We are back for Carnival week and are going to think twice about making the several reservations that we typically make. Shame on the Red Inn, the host & staff.

Whenever you find yourself in Provincetown amongst conversation with strangers (or soon-to-be friends), the Red Inn tends to come up as THE place to dine while in Ptown. As an annual summer visitor to the Cape, I've taken that sentiment to heart by always making sure our last night's dinner happens at this oasis by the water. Simply put, there is no better restaurant in Provincetown for ambiance. That includes whether you're at a table with an ocean view, at a high top by the relaxing fireplace in the bar area, or in a rocking chair (cocktail in hand) on their seaside deck watching the tide go out. The only thing holding me back from giving a perfect rating is the fact that nothing on the food menu is memorable enough to write home about. Most Ptown restaurants offer at least one menu item (mostly lobster-based) that requires a repeat visit just for a taste. The food offerings at Red Inn are solid, but I struggle to recall one thing I'd anticipate tasting again. One thing I do anticipate tasting again? The Inn's phenomenal martinis. Expertly crafted & packing a potent punch, Ptown life just isn't complete without a sip from a seasonal cocktail on their seaside deck. Just be careful not to fall off! ;)

Great service and wonderful welcoming staff from beginning to end. You won't be disappointed!

Showed up spontaneously during happy hour. It was super busy with loud music. The vibes were excellent. This spot has great views. We had nice nice service. Had some drinks and nibbles. I would definitely visit again!

The food and drinks were great. I had 2 drinks and was feeling it heavily. The only reason I give this 4* is due to the limited menu. I honestly expected a little more options but again- all food was great. I thought ketchup instead of cocktail sauce was an interesting choice for the raw bar as well. I didn't dislike it, was just thrown off. The oysters were good though. We liked the shrimp poboy, ceviche, and the lobster sliders. The Panko shrimp was probably my favorite.

I celebrated my birthday here for the second year in a row and it isn't a surprise to me that this was a great experience. I love how friendly the restaurant employees are and how beautiful the atmosphere is. I also love how delicious the food is and I would DIE for their duck entree. I also always enjoy their oysters and ceviche. The food is so good that I rave about it to all of my friends in New York hoping that they will come to visit. I love every visit and I always look forward to coming back. The lobster is also amazing there though I didn't open it this time. I really look forward to my next visit and will continue to sing their praises.

The Red Inn is a historic restaurant and inn that opened in Provincetown, Massachusetts in 1915. It was founded by Mary Wilkinson. The historic building that houses The Inn was built by Captain Freeman Atkins for his wife Emily Gross in 1805. President Theodore and Mrs. Roosevelt stayed in The Inn when they traveled to Provincetown to lay the cornerstone for the Provincetown Monument. Several other celebrities have frequented The Inn over the years. The restaurant's menu features several classic New England staples such as raw bar items, seafood appetizers, soups, salads, roasted seafood entrees and steakhouse entrees. My wife and I first visited the Red Inn in the autumn of 2017. We had actually just gotten married. We couldn't get any time off from work to go on an extended honeymoon (which we saved for the following summer), so instead we went on a "mini-moon" in Cape Cod for a long weekend. For our first night in Provincetown, we had dinner reservations at the Red Inn. It was a beautiful restaurant with lovely decor. It was right on the coastline and the views were amazing! We started off by sharing the Large Seafood Sampler (12 oysters, 6 clams, 6 shrimp, and 2 half lobster tails). Very fresh tasting seafood! For entrees, my wife ordered the Fresh Local Scallops and I had the Blackened Rainbow Trout. We both really enjoyed our picks; they were very flavorful. Our waitress overheard that we were newlyweds, and she kindly brought us over a complimentary plate of Warm Bread Pudding for dessert. It was very thoughtful of our waitress, and the dish itself was delicious! We haven't been back to The Red Inn since, but we anxiously look forward to the day that we return.

Emotional Support Animal Laws Under the Fair Housing Act, housing providers such as landlords, Co-Ops, and HOAs cannot charge their tenants fees, deposits, and surcharges with their emotional support animals (ESA). ESAs are not considered pets for purposes of Fair Housing rules and must be allowed even in buildings that prohibit pets. That also means that a building's general policies regarding pets do not apply to emotional support animals. So even though the building may impose fees and deposits for regular pets, they may not do so for ESA. * At 140 PM, I returned to the inn after taking my dog from a walk and attempting to return to room # 3. At this time, I entered the lobby, and a strange unidentified man entered the lobby and approached me, saying, "get out" I attempted to ignore this person; he had overly relaxed facial muscles leading me to believe he was intoxicated, repeating the words "I am serious get out, you and your dog are not allowed here". I stated I am a guest in room #3 (checked in three nights ago). This person continued to scream, stating, I am serious in a louder tone. At this point, this person, not in his right mind, states, "I am the owner, and get out!" Next, I went to the area leading to the inn rooms and closed the French doors behind me as he was aggressively coming toward me cursing and making threats that we are hard to comprehend. The employees in the area and on duty quickly realized that this person was not in his correct mind and then stated he is in a bad mood and "Not in a good mood" and steered his body away from approaching me any further.

Always, consistently great! Great drinks, great food, great service! $1 Wellfleet oysters every day 2-4:30pm, can't beat the view

I have been trying to get to the happy hour at The Red Inn for years now. It finally happened and I want to go back again. And again. And again. First - the setting is fantastic. The open windows shepherding in the breeze off the water plus the wonderful views are worth going here for. Then, add on fabulous service, delicious, expertly crafted cocktails and fresh, amazing seafood....and there you have it. Perfection. We engorged ourselves on many fresh, cold (raw) oysters and clams...all perfectly shucked. The shrimp is cooked and served cold with a slight seasoning - not what I expected but very enjoyable. The adult beverages are strong and...I'll use the word again....perfect. I would love to stay at the Red Inn sometime and try some of the regular menu items. Again...and again.

Food was good, drinks were ok, service was terrible. Rushed and ambivalent. Not a great experience.

Dinner was everything I had hoped for: potent cocktails, delicious Oysters, a fantastic dinner, great outdoor seating, excellent service, and amazing desserts. Cocktails: Rye N Gosling (Yummy) Wellfleet Oysters: small but super tasty Shrimp & Marscapone Grits: great combination and delicious Desserts: They had me at the Bread Pudding and It did not disappoint. Mouth still gaping open at the deliciousness.

My husband and I went to The Red Inn today for Happy Hour. We've been enjoying The Red Inn for 25 years. Today it was disappointing. We had a lovely table on the deck with one of the best views in town. We each ordered a cocktail and they were not delicious. For food we each ordered the spicy lobster corn chowder which wasn't delicious either. Then we shared a ceviche and a pate plate. Nothing was up to the standards we have enjoyed over the years. We're wondering what is going on there.

Amazing location for the restaurant overlooking the ocean. Great outdoor space as we were enjoying drinks while waiting for our table. Servers were not the most friendly, but expected based on East Coast personality.

NOT THE SAME PLACE IT USED TO BE...... My family has been coming to the Red Inn for dinner for over 60 years. We typically come on the last or second to last night of our stay each summer in Provincetown. The food is decent enough, but the overall experience has paled. This started with making our reservation. We carefully called on the first day that took reservations for our day in question - literally, the hour they opened. We were a large party of 8, but we have always been a large group. We were told we could have a reservation at 5 or 8pm. Very disappointing. When we arrived at 8pm, we had to wait even longer. We were then given a table in the back corner. I have photos from over the years of our large group in a circular front window table. Now we are pushed in the back, even when making a reservation at the first opportunity. We had to wait 35 minutes for our drink order to arrive. This is unacceptable. Hire another bartender. The food was decent enough, but the service was snooty and not welcoming. The noise level was unbearable and we could not hear ourselves converse. The Red Inn used to create an environment of quiet sophistication. This is no longer the case.

Lana was the best! And the food was delicious. Highly recommend. We loved the seafood pasta.

our server jadynne was impeccable! will be going back and requesting her as a server!!

Always excellent. Special thanks to my server, Joshua. Attentive, made great suggestions, always a smile. Thanks, Joshua!
