From the reviews
Beautiful inn with view of the Orleans Cove. Convenient location near restaurants and shops. Famously haunted as featured on ghost hunting shows. This is a big bonus for fans of the supernatural!
First time there. In town for work. I’m from Pennsylvania and do not have much for waterfront dining in y neck of the woods. Very nice place. Upscale decor and casual dining. I had the fish sandwich. Very good, hot and crispy. FF well done, perfect with tarter sauce.
Went just for dinner, this is our 2nd time in 3 years and now we are going to make this our regular date night dinner while on the Cape! Beautiful scenery, overlooking the bay/pond as you eat. Food selection was awesome and tasty. It's a must stop while staying mid-cape.
The owners are wonderful people! Great service, great food, lots of cool history, location is amazing. Make this place part of your Cape experience, you'll be glad you did!
Getting married at Orleans Waterfront Inn & Restaurant
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
