Exceptional staff! The food was outstanding! We waited over 90 minutes for a table and not only did the wait fly by thanks to the fabulous bartenders, our dinners were so outstanding I would have waited twice as long! We started with Oysters on the Half Shell and two special apps: Fried Oyster and Potato Latke with Smoked Salmon. All 3 appetizers were perfectly delicious but the stand out was the Latkes. For dinner, I had the rib eye which was so tender you could cut it with your fork, melt in your mouth delicious and my boyfriend had the halibut - "the best" he's ever had! Honestly, the food, the atmosphere, the staff...what a great group of people...all worth it!!

I truly think this was the best meal I have ever had on the Cape. The staff and atmosphere was awesome. The drinks were made perfectly. I would recommend the (Mule). For dinner everything looked and tasted awesome. You could tell it was very fresh and they didn’t skimp on anything. Can’t wait to go back next year.

Always, always, always creative fresh menu items-unbelievably talented chef and staff. Professional wait staff and hostesses, Saturday night there were a couple electrical issues with their POS and they did not miss a beat! Our favorite place - cozy and clean, bar is busy and lively, a great mix of casual elegance.

This restaurant is one of the best on Cape. Being in the restaurant industry, its obvious to me Chef is thoughtful, creative, meticulous and exquisite in crafting her offerings. Well appointed atmosphere with a complimentary staff to take care of you. Further, you most certainly get what you pay for, it is more than reasonable to the quality!

We went here for our one year wedding anniversary. We made the mistake of not making a reservation but the GM went out of his way and was able to get us a table on a very busy night. The dinner and drinks were incredible and our waitress & service was amazing. She even brought us dessert & champagne to celebrate. Hands down the best service we have had and truly made our anniversary memorable. Highly recommend this restaurant!

We have the good fortune to have a home just steps away, so no worries about driving after enjoying Del Mar's fabulously creative and potent cocktails. The variety of food choices never disappoints and the preparation and presentation is always excellent. Did I mention the service? Knowledgeable servers, cheerful and professional. They know their stuff, yet are honest when they don't have an answer and will get the answer for you. Definitely a favorite spot, all year long!

Del Mar is one of our favorite days night restaurants. When you’re there, service is friendly and unrushed. We always have a wonderful meal.

Great food, service and atmosphere. We have a house in Chatham and this is our go to spot. Reservations are highly recommended for more than 2 people. If there's just two of you, you can put your name in for bar seating when you get there and it goes pretty quick.

Food, service, atmosphere...all excellent. Our party of six enjoyed a variety of meals: chicken, swordfish, halibut, beef, and fig/prosciutto pizza...as well as several apps including calamari, artichoke, cauliflower. Everything was beautifully prepared and delicious! We already made our reservations for Thanksgiving break and can't wait to go back!

The best food we've had in a long time and I don't just mean the time we've spent on the Cape. I had the swordfish special and it was relatively light, but tasty. If we were staying in Chatham longer we would definitely eat here again.

Don't miss this. We went here based on reviews from Urban Spoon, and we weren't disappointed. The chef's tuna special with grilled baby bok choy and wasabi aoili is simply the best tuna I have ever had. We also had the $20 fixed price special with salad, littleneck clams and linguine, and dessert. Fabulous good, great atmosphere, and friendly staff. Better than most large city eateries.

Del Mar is a terrific place to go grab a great bottel of wine and a excellent dinner. The tuna is my favorite dish, always prepared different, but always delicious.

My favorite restaurant on Cape Cod. I love everything about this unique restaurant. It's one-of-a-kind! Open kitchen, great selection at the bar, and entrees that are prepared with only the best ingredients. Reservations are a good idea. Reviews wont do it justice- go in and try their pizza, appetizers, martinis, or anything fish!

The food here was fantastic. Fresh greens and berries, wood grilled oysters, and seafood so fresh, you will not believe it! All seasoned to perfection. The bar is stocked with a wide variety of drinks. I learned that this is one of the few spots that doesn't close in the off season as well. Definitely a local favorite.

Best dinner we’ve had in a very long time, the chicken and swordfish were divine, slow eat mouth watering, side salad with maple balsamic dressing was outstanding fresh and flavorful, pizza was very good but not the same level as the others. 4 drinks one desert swordfish chicken and two pizzas totaled $210 without $42 tip for about $250 total. Excellent waiter nice atmosphere

We came here for dinner after a family event. Word got around and so what we thought was going to be a party of 6 turned into a party of 26. The staff were great dealing with the influx and anarchy of such a large party showing up unannounced. The food was great. I would recommend them for any occasion. www.pupsncups.co

Cozy, cool, and the best place for refinement in the area! The food was superb and the drinks were heavy-hitting perfection. Mushroom Tart, Calamari, Cod, Tuna, Bananas Foster, and Key Lime Pie were all on point. As our server said "We have no specials, everything we do is special". Touche

Has to be one of the classiest places on the Cape. Went with friends and really enjoyed our dinner. Service was impeccable, and the food was even better. We had the cod special, swordfish, bolognese, and littleneck steamers.

We somehow snuck into this place on a busy Friday night. We ate at the bar. The wait for tables wasn’t guaranteed due to the amount of reservations. There was even a wait for the bar seats. Oysters were great! The wine selection was lacking, but they had a big cocktail menu. We both ordered the halibut, and it was great. The apple mango relish was delicious. Then we split a crème brûlée.

Delicious meal and cocktails! Had the raw oysters, burrata bruschetta, tuna Pad Thai, and Mediterranean flatbread. Yum! Great service and not a long wait for each course. Started to get pretty busy around 6:30 so I recommend getting there early. Highly recommend for a great dinner spot!

We got two of their pizzas and we thought it was good. We showed up about 15 minutes before 5 and when we got in, we were told we would have a table but that it was reserved for 6:15

Del Mar is the best Restaurant in town, i will even say that it's the best restaurant in the entire state of Ma. I always enjoy eating there, people working there are lovely, the owner is really nice, and the food is amazing. You have all sorts of food there, but you should try the duckling, which is amazing. This is what i propose for you: Start with the oysters rockefeller, and try getting a pizza as a appetizer because they are crusted and thin, and also are wood fired, (it doesn't matter which one you get because all of them are amazing), after that maybe go with the Duckling, its really nice and carefully cooked, and in the end, for desert, take the lava cake which is amazing. If you don't like oysters and duck, go with the Steak salad, and for entree get the Grilled Fillet Mignon, its sooo delicious. My brother told me about this place back in 2011 so we've been going there since then. p.s. If you have a romantic date night, please try to get a reservation and ask for the patio, probably table 35 is the best for you, or if you admire watching the kitchen on how they're preparing the food, then try the tables inside.

You did not disappoint! Being a foodie, coming to Cape Cod in the off season was a concern so I made it a priority to seek recommendations from the Captains House Inn for the best restaurants in Chatham. After cross referencing a list they gave me with Yelp, we decided on Del Mar. From arrival,our banquette seating, our first and lasting impression of our waitress, the outstanding culinary experience to our departure was simply sublime. We both had Filet Mignon. To my delight when i asked for it Pittsburgh, the waitress didn't flinch! If I could have made that Filet last all night, surely I would have. It stands out as the top 2 Filet Pittsburgh I've had in my life! Kudos! Thank you for an amazing 50th birthday dinner for my partner! A stand out moment in our lives!

As always, great food and great service. Their Portuguese littleneck linguine is the all time best. And their cocktails are certainly picture perfect!

Came in a little skeptical of other reviewers as they were also claiming this was fine dining, but while they were dead wrong about the ambiance as it's decidedly bistro casual, they weren't wrong about the food. Our Mediterranean pizza had a face only a mother could love, but was light, thin, and had just enough quality ingredients to make it sing . The beet salad had wonderfully fresh chunks of beets and arugula. My cod didn't disappoint and lived up to the hype by other reviewers - light, flakey, salty, on a bed of rice that provided a nice counter texture and not ruined with a heavy fry or soy like other restaurants on the cape. Surprise standout though was the key lime pie. Fresh lime, mixed to impossibly silky smooth filling with an unabashed tang and sweetness, complemented with some fresh cream and light crumbly crust. It was a little silly expensive at $11 a slice, but we seriously considered buying a whole pie. All desserts are made in house. We'll be back the next time we hit the cape! FYI - Getting the sense that the 'specials' menu is a permanent thing.
