Silver Lounge Restaurant — Restaurant in Falmouth

Great thing about visiting major tourist spots during off season is the peace & quite you get with much less people. The hard part is to find a restaurant that is open year-round, no matter the peak or off-peak season. In Cape Cod, one of the oldest and most loved restaurant by the locals (mainly the seniors) is the Silver Lounge Restaurant. They have been serving seafood, steaks, sandwiches and other comfort food to the locals and visitors alike every day since 1938. I've visited this restaurant a handful of times, and it is one of our favorite spots to visit in the Cape.

The inside is rather large, with red checkered table clothes and nice comfy booth seats. They also have a bright bar with friendly bartender. They have authentic nautical artifacts everywhere, from the wall to the ceilings, it is really interesting to look around. I hear Most of them are antiques, collected over the years.

For the food, it is always better to have seafood in the Cape, since they have great variety and are fresh. One thing to note - they are not into "fancy" stuff, just good, solid food without any extra bling. The food is not cheap, but you do get good, large portion and fresh seafood here.

So, when you are in the Cape and looking for one of those old-fashion, no-fuss kind of place with good comfy food, check out this spot. The service is slow, but mostly friendly, especially if you are with one of the locals. You can find my full review of this restaurant and food on my food blog at...

Today I visited the restaurant for the first time and the time there wasn’t pleasant. As we walked in, the server sat us on a table and I asked her nicely if we could be sat in another table that was right beside us, and she said with a rude tone that she didn’t care. I ordered 3 steaks and she right away started laughing sarcastically and I asked her why is she laughing. She said that there were a couple of steaks in another tables already. Every interaction was dry made me and my family unwelcome even though we were nice and respectful towards her all the time. We weren’t asked even once by anyone if everything was good while the tables around us were being asked frequently. We felt out of place and unwelcome. With that being said, I don’t know if it was because we were hispanics or the server was having a bad day and she decided to take it on us. The only time that she even smile at us was when we putted the tip on the table when we were ready to leave. It was our first and last time...

Last night’s Valentine’s dinner was a major disappointment. My wife loves the New York strip steak, and ordered it. She didn’t want a starch, and couldn’t even order a hot vegetable to go with it? She ended up with a steak on the plate with nothing else on it . I can’t believe that this restaurant couldn’t come up with a viable option. To their credit, the steak was cooked perfectly, and the waitress was phenomenal. My meal of baby back ribs was one that I should have sent back. The ribs were dried out and if not for dousing them in barbecue sauce, would not have been edible at all. We are really not that picky, contrary to what may be evident here. However, it is inexcusable that a restaurant didn’t even have a hot vegetable on the menu. We come here every year for Valentine’s Day, traveling over two hours to do so. Not sure we will...
