Cape Haze Tavern

This is a gem! Atmosphere, food and service are top notch. This is our go-to place for special occasions.

Went for a quick drink and some apps with friends and it was quite enjoyable. The calamari was made just right and the cherry smoked old fashion was delicious!

Made reservations Thursday for Saturday thy called us half hour before are reservation and said there full

I rented the Rabbit Hole for my husband’s 80th birthday on Saturday January 20th 2024. Let me start by saying this is the classiest and most beautiful venue in the area. We attended a comedy show there in November and couldn’t believe something this nice was so close to us. I just knew my husband’s party would have to be held there. Chef Matt was very helpful in the planning and food choices for my 30 guests. He said the cost would include a bartender and a server. I voiced concern about the bar because, at the event in November, the bar was not stocked, the bartender was continually going to the restaurant side to retrieve vermouth, cherries, and other items. People waited long periods of time to even order drinks. Matt assured me that would not happen. Well, after arriving at 6 the bartender was placing water glasses on the tables. My friend was at the bar, ordered first and received a drink at 6:25. My husband and I must have waited 20 minutes for 2 vodka sodas and 2 manhattans. And the bartender brought them over on a tray from the restaurant bar. Other guests waited 40 minutes for a drink. Every time I looked there was no one behind the bar. I went into the restaurant and asked for the manager. Dylan was behind the bar working. I said I need a bartender in the other bar for my party. He said someone called in sick. That’s unfortunate but was not my problem. He sent the bartender back who obviously didn’t have an open cash draw. He had to start tabs by writing on a pad. Meanwhile, the apps came out right on time but most people didn’t eat. They were still waiting to order a drink. Then, the bartender started serving Caesar salad to the tables. Where was the server that I was supposed to have? Entrees came out right on time. Hot and delicious. After dinner I started bussing tables and a few guests helped. There was no way the bartender was going to be able to clear before desert. As the night went on our daughter asked for 5 shots of fireball. Bartender went to restaurant bar to get shot glasses. He said “ for all your trouble, these are on the house. And keep the rest.” There was a little more in the bottle. So we said we’ll have more shots. Again he had to go over and get more shot glasses. Unfortunately at the end of the night he charged for the shots. So, exactly what I was worried about came to be. People waiting too long for drinks, a bar that wasn’t stocked, and a bartender missing in action. I am not criticizing the help you have. They were working very hard. And I would have had more understanding about a sick call if the exact thing hadn’t happened at the last event I attended. This is unacceptable. I have been to the busiest bars in the area and have never waited longer than a couple of minutes for my drink order. I did not get what I paid for. My anxiety level was thru the roof making it very hard to enjoy the evening. I very much hope the Rabbit Hole is successful. But if this is the way it’s run I think reviews and word if mouth might lead to its demise.I would appreciate talking about this with you further. After sending this, I was told the owner or manager would be in touch. I have heard nothing. Parking: Easy

Sat night, busy, attentive bartender and great food. Ipswich fried clams and a caeser salad...

So So. Expensive. Service was slow Food was average. No view of anything....not like they are on the water..i walked 3 miles from where i parked to the restaurant. I was not impressed at all.

Great place to go. Food is excellent as is the staff.

Our kids bought us a gift card for Christmas. They were late buying it so it would not have arrived before Christmas. Beth, the assistant manager, who happened to live nearby, drove and hand delivered the gift card to us so we'd have it for Christmas. We knew with such a display of service this would be a great place to dine. We were not disappointed. We had a lovely time out. Meals were very good. Dessert after was delish.
