The Mayflower — Restaurant in Provincetown

Looked up recommendations online. My family was looking for seafood. The place is on the main drag and an easy walk from the big parking areas. Inside is very dated and the air conditioning was on full blast. It was in the 90s outside, but we were all freezing during our dinner. We ordered sodas, orange juice and a chocolate milk which came in small plastic cups. A fried calamari appetizer. The calamari was good, but the portion size was tiny for the price. We later discovered they charged $4.00 per drink and $2 up charge for milk without any warning. That's excessive. For dinner, we ordered a lobster roll, which one of my children really enjoyed. I ordered the "Cubano" special which was good. My wife ordered the baked shrimp which she enjoyed, but upset her stomach later. All came with fries, which were okay. My son ordered the lazy man lobster. The lobster was tough and the breading was burnt. The bill for 5 people was $300. This is not a fine dining restaurant and no alcohol was purchased. Service was attentive. We would not go back again. We ate at Arnold's on the cape the next day. Our meals were half the price and much...

Seafood foodie snob here & long-time resident on the Cape. OK, you think you’ve visited all the great restaurants in this area over the years, as we have, but last night, our local friends re-introduced us to the Mayflower. Oh my! Do not pass this restaurant by! This is an oldie but goodie right in the heart of P’town. You come here for the huge variety of food at fair prices, the warmth of the staff and owner Mike, and the ambience of bygone years. Those lucky enough to snag a window seat will surely be entertained by all the foot traffic on Commercial Street.

Now to the seafood on our table: we had the spaghetti with clams; the frutti di mare, a seafood dish in a delicious tomato-based sauce with a bit of a bite; a (lightly) fried sea scallops with scallops fresh off the boat; and fresh haddock with shrimp & scallops stuffing!! I got to taste every dish and am ready to return to have the other dishes I didn’t choose. Yes, the food was that delicious and fresh-tasting! We had a wonderful time, assisted by our fun and helpful waitstaff, Larasa. Thank you to all the hardworking staff there whose friendliness is reflected by...

Terrible place! We came in, got a table, server came and first she told us is that she is leaving in 45 mins and quote “order food because i am leaving in 45 minutes”. After few minutes another server came to take our order because the lady that served us didn’t speak any decent English. After we placed our order after 15 mins 3rd server came to inform us that one of 2 items that are ordered didn’t go thru the sistem (which is weird because one of those was burger and another was seafood pasta) and that it’s gonna take 8 more mins to be done. She brought burger which was cold, fries was cold as well, one slice of cheese which wasn’t melted (just thrown on top) and without any sauce. Pasta was brought around 10 mins after. Pasta was over-cooked and seafood was all gummy and tasteless. So bad and unprofessional service, poor food quality, it look like there wasn’t a 1% of effort put into preparing the food or providing the service. After everything we were fully charged of course and without any appoligize. Terrible!...
