"The food is amazing!! We ate the apps and entrees too quickly before I could get a picture, but I did get a picture of the dessert and espresso martinis that were a perfect way to end the meal. They even gave my daughter a lobster stuffy to play with! The wait staff were so friendly and kind. Would definitely go back!"

"Thoreau's is the pub area of twenty-eight Atlantic at the Wequassett Resort in Cape Cod. We dined here one night, and at twenty-eight Atlantic the other night. Both experiences were fantastic. We loved the decor of Thoreau's, which is a little more laid back. All the paneled wooded walls in the dining room are really nice, but most importantly, the food and service at this establishment are fantastic! Both restaurants are a must visit, especially if you're staying at the resort."

"Ima be honest, i felt outta place ! I still had all my work clothes on and smelled like diesel. BUT the staff still welcomed and treated me like a normal customer! The atmosphere was pretty chill they were playing deep house in the background. The lobster cacio pepe was amazing! And the lavender mock tail was fenomenal! Shout out to the staff for being amazing and having good conversations"
