Simply spectacular. Once in a lifetime (or more if you're lucky) dining experience. 7 courses, each outdoing the other. Wine pairings are perfect. You glance outside mid meal and notice Michael, proprietor and head chef, in the garden carefully harvesting greens for the next course.

Goodness gracious, what a phenomenal place to eat a fine dinner. Talk about farm/ocean to table dining done to perfection. I had the pleasure of dining here eight years ago and am happy to say that they have maintained their level of excellence. Every dish was simply amazing and we ordered the soft drink accompaniment and they were off the charts wonderful as well. The cost is fairly high, but well worth it for a unique and amazing experience.

This was my fourth trip to Ceraldi, and it continues to set a very high bar on the Outer Cape. Tonight’s menu was the first time I only had seafood. The standouts were the tomato soup with a dayboat scallop, the oysters (as always), and the honeynut squash risotto with Parmesan foam. The entire evening is still so well run and the walkthrough of the menu at the beginning of the night is so special. The beverage pairing is sometimes hit or miss for me, but it was a knockout last night! My one qualm is that 10 years ago, the menu was 77 and now it’s 212. It makes it hard to come more than once a season. I’d love to see it closer to 150-175 personally, but I also know that sourcing locally doesn’t always come cheap. It’s still such a special place, and I can’t recommend it enough.

a very special experience to have the seven course dinner here. the storytelling behind it all; your menu that day, the restaurant, and the community, is so wonderful. Chef Michael and his team were lovely, and completely accommodating to the vegan and vegetarian in our party. The food was beautifully presented and delicious, and the experience on a whole, a lot of fun.

An exceptional and unique dining experience. I’ve been numerous times and every time has been amazing. The thought into the menu, the balance of the courses, the pairings of beverages, the atmosphere and the staff. Most of all the food is delicious! I can’t wait to go back. It is pricey but worth it and given the cost of so much mediocre meals out, a bargain.

I've been here three times and it never disappoints. Everything is about as local as can be with great wine pairings. The service is always excellent, this time from Jameson. During Covid we had one experience at sunset overlooking the harbor, which was phenomenal. In the fall it was inside but well spaced out with very limited spots and additional ventilation. I will definitely try to go again.

We have gone to Ceraldi multiple times, we usually just get iced coffee. Today we decided to try some baked goods and they were all very good. They had these huge egg squares on home made bread. Their croissants were also very good. My wife loved the cappuccino. You are expected to bring your own cup if you want to take out the coffee. They do sell mason jars you can take out with you, you can have coffee inside with their cups inside or outside on their patio. I would come here again the baked good were phenomenal although you could easily share any item with anyone person. The coffee is always outstanding.

We always come back to Ceraldis when in town because it's the best restaurant on the Cape. Michael and his team's attention to detail and sourcing of high quality ingredients make every meal amazing! The menu changes daily based on what's available but it's always good. They also have a reserve wine pairing if you want to make the meal a real treat.
