After reading their ad in the Best Read Guide Magazine I thought this sounded like an interesting restaurant. Had dinner here last night with friends and it is true. Generous cocktails, fresh tasty fish, wonderful chowders creative stews and even meatloaf. The bread basket was full of crispy Parmigiana triangles and blueberry bread. We took the bread home and had... More

The service was slow and inattentive; server did not refill our coffee. (It wasn't even busy when we were there.) Giant seats way too far from the table are comfortable only for very big people. Food was okay at best. No bread plate ahead of time was offered (was this a mistake by the restaurant or the server?). Fish and... More

This restaurant was originally a small breakfast place that has now been totally remade into a very attractive full course eatery. We miss intimacy of the old place, but we do love its replacement I am surprised by some of the reviews not giving this place at least four stars! The menu was extensive with specials shown on a separate... More

The Marshside is a very open and attractive restaurant with an outstanding view of the marsh. At this time of year they only serve food until 9PM and we were running late but got there in plnety of time. I had the swordfish, a friend got the meatloaf and another friend ordered the lobster bisque. He said the bisque had... More

Came here today for Mother's Day dinner. The building is beautiful and has spectacular views of the marsh. Overall, service was slow - not bad - but slow and not overly attentive. I started with a cup of clam chowder and had seafood newburg for my meal. Both were pretty bland. My husband had the lobster macaroni and cheese. He... More

Incredible view, overpriced and forgetable food, uncomfortable seating, table-tops are too high and too far from seats, unless its designed for way overweight people

Had lunch with husband and 2 young sons during school vacation week. Not really a restaurant for kids. We had a fantastic meal. Lobster stew perfect! Greek salad wrap perfect! Fried clams, no sand, delicious batter, perfect. Server was good. They were busy! It's a bit pricey, but most waterfront places are. We will definitely return!!

Nice setting, but the food is average at best. Not fresh, not well prepared. Too many good choices to waste a night here. Should be better than it is.

Portions are small, the food inconsistent, the prices are way too high. For $20 for a lunch plate of scallops, you get 5 scallops, on my plate 1 small one was overdone, 3 others were just so-so, one large one was delicious. Having to pay an extra $6 for a salad, you must enjoy the fabulous view, otherwise its not... More

great view of the marsh, hence the name. great staff, excellent food, and for us on the cape, off season is great with half price appetizers sunday through thursday. try the lobster macaroni, out of this world. a must go, but in the summer and weekends prepare for a wait, that is worth the wait.
