Chills Bistro

We had our rehearsal dinner at Chillingsworth. It was AMAZING! They have some of the best food not only on the Cape but in Massachusetts! Nitzi, Anna, Katie and all of the staff at Chillingsworth were so very helpful. If you are planning an event here, take their advice; these people know how to put together a wonderful menu.

Old Cape Cod at its best. The bar side is our favorite, but if your in the mood for fine dining on the restaurant side you won't be disappointed. The food is outstanding! I recommend the pasta with lobster. Large pieces of lobster with delicious pasta. Also the salmon toast as an app was a pleasant surprise. Cheryl had a Cesar Salad and the crab cake. All very good!! The service is one of the best attributes of this establishment. Kathleen is a manager that will help out in any capacity needed which helps with speed of service. However everyone's treat is Kerry Lee, a waitress with the best smile, personality, and service you could ever ask for. Kerry Lee makes Chillingsworth a step above in your dining experience. This is a unique restaurant experience you should try.

I have frequented Chillingsworth on numerous occasions. The experience always feels like I am visiting with an old friend. I have eaten in the more formal 'House', and the food and experience is top-notch. The Bistro offers delectable food and cocktails in a less formal atmosphere. Both the House and Bistro are my favorites on the Cape, and conveniently located in charming Brewster. You must try both; you won't be disappointed by either venue, and the House dining is an experience you will want to partake of again and again.

Definitely great food and service, and comparably priced, but not quite the place it used to be. Back during the 1960s and 70's this was the place; one of the finest restaurants in the country. My birthday cakes were always one of their etherial fruit tarts. The food is still good but they have been gliding on their past glories for so very long that very few people under 60 actually remember them. There is a definite air of shabbiness here. Some outside maintenance would likely be appreciated by the neighbors.

We've lived in Brewster almost 10 years yet had never been, having been misinformed that it was the priciest restaurant in town -- also constantly packed, so they clearly weren't hurting for our business. But as other faves have become notably more expensive we finally decided to try it in honor of a friend's birthday and my wife's recent one. Unable to get a reservation in the main restaurant we happily settled for the Bistro, which was comfortable and charming; and since the start of the pandemic the need to simplify means it now shares the same menu. Everything was delicious and for the quality and uniqueness a great value. Ice cold cocktails, a small but broad list of by-the-glass wines, an expansive selection of menu items, almost too many dessert options, and again a quite broad list of after dinner libations. My wife, who has spent a lot of time in France, found the snails appetizer to be some of the best she'd ever had, and my gnocchi w/ mushrooms, peas & corn (drenched in butter ... ) was fabulous. I stuck w/ more apps for dinner -- a delicious if a bit overwrought grilled asparagus & avocado "tosti" and a decent buratta w/ heirloom tomatoes; my wife's pork dish was deemed smashing. For dessert a shared trio of mini creme brulees and angel food cake with blueberries and blueberry ice cream. Yum. I wanted to delve into after dinner drinks -- armagnac, yes, please -- but was too full. In the end 3 of us spent what two of us do at other faves in town. Looking forward to returning -- though probably not until the season dies down a bit; even their ample staff was a bit pressed to keep up. Alas, they do close December to May, but that still leaves plenty of time to partake.
