Yarmouth House: A Premier Seafood and Steakhouse Experience in West Yarmouth, MA

I’ve admired the outside of this restaurant for years, but never stopped by while on vacation until today. Let me tell you, this place was amazing and my mom and I were so excited to finally give it a try and can’t wait to come back! We both wanted to treat ourselves to lobsters. She got the baked stuffed, and it was cooked perfectly. I got the boiled lobster, and it was delicious. The mashed potatoes on the side were tasty too! Both lobsters were cooked so well that the tails, our least favorite parts, were soft, easy to eat, and not chewy (which happens). Yum! Dessert was also good! It gets super busy here, and while I was a little bummed we were seated in the back overflow room even though we had reservations, it was ok. We will be back, hopefully with a seat in the cute front room.

Yarmouth house was a fantastic place to dine at. Very accommodating with my reservations and we were seated immediately after arriving. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. Restaurant was very well decorated for Halloween.... loved it all. Food and drinks were delicious and arrived quickly. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for nice dinner out.

The restaurant has plenty of parking and was decorated for Halloween. There’s a cool water wheel inside the building. Service is slow and appears to be short-staffed. The bread came out fresh and hot with the olive oil dip. You’ll definitely want more bread to either dip in the olive oil or your meal! The lobster mac and cheese is pricey but you definitely get your moneys worth. The cheese is flavorful and comes out really hot with the pasta. The lobster portion is generous is large chunks of lobster that makes this a more filling meal than a lobster roll. This is part of a family of restaurants around Cape Cod. I would give them all a try.

I have loved this location for years. Every time I visit the cape I typically have to make a stop for the service, decor, menu options, rotating specials, house moscato, margaritas, lobsters and prime rib. You can check them out to see on select days they do have a three course meal if you are seated by 5:45, which is absolutely worth it, but I do go whether I am ordering that deal or not. I can’t recommend them enough! Also, the scallop Gorgonzola special was incredible!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant, and the Christmas decorations are absolutely stunning! Reading through the comments I saw someone complained about a staff member asking for a review, and as I’ve worked in the industry for a long time, I felt compelled to share my thoughts. It’s actually commendable when staff ask for feedback when they realize that you really enjoyed the food served, especially during slower periods like winter, as it shows they care about their workplace and want to support it. The request itself isn’t the issue; rather, it’s a reflection of our own empathy towards those just starting out - we’ve all been there! I believe that perhaps the waitress is learning and genuinely trying to gauge satisfaction and improve; after all, nobody asks for feedback unless they’ve put in effort. Good luck to her!

Had a nice dining experience here. The parking lot was full on arrival ( which says a lot) and there was plenty of parking . We dined around 7:30 , and the welcome was very pleasant and was seated right away( we had reservations) We got the perfect table, looking out the windows( street side). We sat next to a vent however, so the heat made us a bit warm. Our server was clearly a veteran and was quite professional and courteous. Food portions were very good, more than I could chew , and was enjoyed. The seafood risotto was a bit too creamy and hard to eat it all. We think maybe the risotto should be on the side. Oh, the homemade bread is oh so good, and that big ice cream for dessert is definitely for shares, easily for 4ppl. Price range was typical, ambiance modern and comfortable. A nice small music set up, and a singer added a lively Friday night atmosphere.. I heard this is a must do spot if in the area , and I agree.

This place deserves the perfect 5 star review. The service was on point we had a 7pm reservation and we were sat within 5 minutes of walking in. They served us our drinks and bread while we looked over the menu. He got the strip steak and I got the Chicken al la Vodka. Both were absolutely delicious. That steak gave me dinner envy. It was perfect season and that great beef taste was not covered by seasoning. It didn't need steak sauce or anything. The atmosphere was spectacular. It was not too dark, so you still had the ability to read a menu. They had a live saxophonist, Hollywood Hayward, he was awesome. He played the right songs for the atmospher and it was not loud at all. I don't give 5 stars unless it is deserved and this place did. We later found out it was voted best restaurant in the 2025 Cape Cod Times best of. So we chose wisely.

We had a great experience overall. The steak au poivre with mashed potatoes and broccolini was absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked with a rich, flavorful sauce. The chicken parm was also excellent and a very large portion. We ordered from the Sunset 3-course, which was a fantastic value. The ricotta meatballs were fresh and tender, and the cheesecake was the perfect happy ending. Excellent service and a very enjoyable meal overall.
