"My husband and I have tried on two previous occasions to have dinner at the Belfry Inn, and both times we needed to cancel our reservations. This time we finally made it there and we were so pleased with the service, the food and the ambience. My husband had the Mussels as his appetizer, and the salmon entree...served with baby bok choy and pea flan,; I had the grilled hanger steak, wild rice and broccoli, after starting with a deliscous bowl of clam chowder. We are looking forward to a repeat visit."

"Mother's day options can be limited & mundane. NOT the case at the Belfry Inne & Bistro. The wonderfully restored old church setting set a peacful, relaxing tone. The menu was varied & enticing. Making a choice was hard, to say the least. The options made it possible for us to let our more elderly mothers have lots of choices that met their dietary restrictions & desires. Service was great. The Server was a lovely young woman who toild us the history of the Bistro & was so friendly and accommodating. Desert, oh my, was it good. We ordered 4 deserts & shared them. The Mousse Trio was heavenly, the Cherry desert was delectable and the Brulee was so smooth & tasty without being too sweet. Overall, an amazing Mother's Day meal."

"The food was very good, however, the maitre d' sat me and my elderly mother at a table in the bar area, when there were obviously tables for 2 available in the main room, since other people, who came after us, were seated there. So my mother had to climb up and down steps and it was too noisey in the bar area. It wasn't very convenient nor accomodating."

"Although we are nearby residents, we had missed this gem. The Scallop plate was superb and the Swordfish above average. The calamari appetizer was prepared perfectly and with a very attractive presentation as were the entres. The ambiance is lovely with the chapel motif maintained, and live dinner music by a piano player. Last but not least, my martini (Gibson) was generous and perfectly chilled."

"The food and service were very good. Portion was a good size, filled me up and no room for dessert. We dined indoors, as it is still cold outside. The dinning area is great...stone walls, high ceilings, stained glass. If you're in the area and looking for a nice dinner out I'd definitely check out the Bistro."

"The Belfry never dissapoints. Always new and creative cuisine. Great cocktails, imaginative entrees and fair prices. 1 App, 2 Cocktails, 2 Entrees and 1 Dessert = $124 (includes just over a 20% tip). So it's not really more expensive than any other up-scale restaurant in the area (which IMHO is hurting for up-scale creative cuisine)."

"I came here after getting married for a nice weekend getaway from the noisy city. It was perfect, so relaxing and beautiful. The customer service was excellent, they made sure that we were taken care of in every way possible. The food was also amazing with the nice piano music in the background. That Sat we rented bikes and did 20miles on the canal bike trail and around the town in general. It was a tad bit chilly because of the time of year but that made it all the special because it was so intimate and private. It surpassed my expectation and I plan to come here for my yearly anniversary getaway."

"one of the better Cape Cod restaurants we've tried (we haven't had any luck finding really good food on the Cape...). bland bread, bland lentil soup and over-sauced fish entrees countered by very fresh ingredients, PERFECT green beans and wonderful desserts. in Boston, this would be a decent choice, but on the Cape, it's way above average."

"This is he second time I have been here. It was better than the last time. The food was really good and we sat in front of the fireplace. The service was friendly, but not imposing. It was a great dining experience. I wouldn't travel far for this. But, once in the area, I wold do it again. The piano man was a great plus. You don't see that very often, anywhere."

"Food was excellent. Service started off great then our waiter was missing for long periods of time. Had to get our own steak knives, salt, pepper, second requests for drinks, etc. He may have had too many tables; don't know. Overall we loved the Bistro and would go back again."

"This was one of the best dinners we have had in a long time--everything was fabulous. The food was great, the wine was amazing, and the service was excellent! The restaurant is in an old church, and it was quite charming; it might be noisier in the summer when it is more crowded, but off season it is a treasure!"
