Absolutely wonderful food! The Grilled swordfish was cooked to perfection. Elote Cod Special was outstanding. Seafood Supreme had nice big shrimp, and sea scallops, plus at least one lobster claw and lump meat – not bay scallops & popcorn shrimp, with lobster leg meat. The lobster Mac & Cheese was flavorful and didn’t scrimp on lobster either. Chowda was creamy and had tender clams and potatoes. Mocktails were tasty, too. Highly recommend this place!!

Amazing! The drinks where perfect…Tito’s and cranberry w lime had the right amount of all and that’s hard to do… the Riesling was light, crisp and perfect. We had the cape cod seafood medley and the lobster Mac n cheese. It was fresh and the chunks of lobster in the Mac n cheese were huge!

We ate outdoors by the marsh and river. Very pleasant.

First time. Been wanting to try Swan River for a while but never got around to it until tonight. We couldn’t have picked a better night for several reasons. When we arrived we were checking out the outside dining when a gentleman approached us and asked if we had a reservation. We reluctantly replied No. He said he was sorry that there were 2 weddings going on inside so the only thing available was outside. Weather was perfect so it wasn’t a problem. He said he could fit us in but there would be about a 20 minute wait. We said no problem. Within 5 minutes we were seated at a table outside. Having driven by dozens of times we hadn’t ever really seen the outdoor seating. It’s a great location overlooking the Swan River. There are approximately 20 tables and a fire pit and a bar. Our timing couldn’t have been better as we were able to view a beautiful sunset from our table. While the view and weather were perfect they don’t entirely make for a perfect experience if the food and beverages don’t match the atmosphere. Alas they did not disappoint. I ordered a local (Dennis) draft and it was so good I had another. I ordered off the nightly specials menu and had a new take on an old classic. I ordered the Cape Cod Potato Chip crusted cod. A new local twist on the usual Ritz cracker crusted cod, which is one of my favorites.

The clam chowder was phenomenal. Best chowder I’ve had in a long time. The fresh, cold, local oysters were great. We also ordered 1.5 lbs of steamers and they were huge! The 2 lb lobster dinner was well worth it.. meaty and delicious, and the corn was super sweet. My Dad enjoyed his fried whole bellies as well. Would definitely go back.

Beautiful dining experience overlooking Swan River! Highly recommend getting an outdoor table alone the fence and enjoying your meal with a view. Fish and chips were the best we’ve ever had – fresh, juicy fish perfectly fried. Also loved the clam chowder and beach bread. Great selection of local beers, though their mojito could use more mint. Service was hard working and very kind, though a bit hard to wave down due to the distance between the main building and the outdoor tables. Only item I wouldn’t order again are the steamers, which were quite sandy despite rinsing them in the broth they provided. Overall would definitely come back for the fish and chips and the view!

We live here on the cape. You can’t go wrong with swan river. What other restaurant do you know that has a fish market on the same property? The fish here is always so fresh it melts like butter in your mouth. My wife and I got some steamers today, which I have to say are far superior here in freshness than almost anywhere else. Even when we grab them at fish markets and do it ourselves at home.

Food was good. This was a last minute stop. I had the $34 lobster roll (4 oz) which so fresh. My wife had the fried halibut fish tacos.

We came just after they started serving tables outside by the water. The view is fantastic if the weather is great. The food was fantastic and hot but the service and speed was not great. It’s a long walk from the kitchen to the seating so the poor wait staff have a ton of walking to do. Because of this you need to have different expectations. We rarely saw our waitress but she was very pleasant and apologized for the long wait. The tables were cleaned after each use and spaced far from each other. I was thankful to have the chance to sit with the family and enjoy the outdoors and great seafood. I hope you have as great a time – even if it’s slow.

The food and service was excellent. The deck furniture could stand to be replaced. The view and sunset made up for it. Could use a little curb appeal on the front.
