Impudent Oyster, Chatham

I return for the delicious Portuguese Mussels and have never been disappointed. Summer is busy so reservations are desirable, but I have never made a reservation. If there are no tables I eat at the bar. They have a decent wine list also particularly the whites.

Everything was just ok - definitely not great. We were also very rushed to order before the kitchen closed -even though we had a reservation. That was very frustrating.

While away on an overnight trip to Chatham we decided to dine at the Impudent Oyster. What a mistake. When we entered the restaurant we were made to feel as though we had made some sort of imposition on the hostess when we did not have reservations, but there were plenty of available tables as we were seated immediately. As we like to start a special occasion we ordered a glass of wine and were told, never mind it’s to expensive, I was outraged. We ordered our dinner and found them to be average at best for what the final bill turned out to be. The staffing at the Impudent Oyster is crass and unfriendly. As a tourist town on the Cape I thought the business would be a lot more friendly since it did not seem like a there was much going on especially so early in the vacationing season
