Beacon Room — Restaurant in Orleans

We shared the most wonderful and delicious meal at the Beacon Room today .. the day a tornado hit Cape Cod. Not only did the owner and his staff take care of us, they were genuinely concerned about our safety. From the second we sat down and they told us about the tornado warning to the moment they ushered customers to the basement and the back of the restaurant near the bathrooms to keep us safe, they remained calm and sure of how to keep us all safe. We regret that we never had the chance to meet and thank the kind owner. Emily our waitress was incredible as she took everyone's orders at the same time once the tornado warning had expired and the storm went out to sea. The hostess and the bartender, two lovely ladies whose names I didn't get chipped in to assist with anything and everything the packed restaurant needed with continued patience and smiles on their faces. We will never forget where we were on the day a tornado hit Cape Cod and we will certainly never forget the amazing people we met at the Beacon Room and the kindness they showed to all of us during what could have been a very scary time. We survived the tornado of 2019 and we couldn't be...

We had never been here before, but we were looking for something different than typical fried seafood or burger type restaurants. It had good reviews on Yelp, so we checked it out. The food and service were excellent. I had a delicious lobster salad sandwich on a croissant which was mostly lobster with very little mayo. My wife and I also split the Goronzola, walntut, and sun-dried cranberry salad tossed with field greens and house vinaigrette which was very good. Other dishes at our table which were good were the fishwich sandwich without the bread with tasty french fries and the curry chicken salad sandwich.

We ended up eating in a room by ourselves, since all the other seating was taken. It was a brightly lit, pleasant room which was quiet and comfortable. (The only thing which could be improved by consulting with a decorator or design person was the art work which was a display of a variety of styles and abilities, and did not add much to the ambience.)

Overall a great meal and I would recommend someone to try this place out. The host seemed a little frazzled and not able to tend to a busy night, but we managed to get a nice table after 15 minutes. They have a nice area outside that might be ready for tables outside, but maybe it's too new. Our meal was delicious I ordered the special swordfish and my other guests had chicken saltimbocca and a pasta kids meal. The kids meal wasn't listed but they offered pasta or chicken tenders. We tried the fried artichoke heart appetizer and it was cooked to perfection. These have a nice balance of saltiness and tart from the balsamic vinegar. Try them and you won't regret it (heck my 7 year old son ate them up). The overall atmosphere was a little loud and the acoustics travel in this restaurant, but you can get a great seat and make it a romantic night out or take a group next to the bar. I suggest calling ahead of time to reserve as this area gets crowds very quick and the wait...
