The food was great; the staff was friendly and helpful; we saw some pretty scenery. Plus, it was just a lot of fun to have brunch in such a unique setting: on a train, watching the scenery go by. More

My husband & I went down the cape for a weekend specifically to ride this train. I read the reviews so wasn't expecting much but it was what I wanted to do for my birthday. We arrived on Friday & the first thing we did was go to the train depot to get tickets. They weren't open & there wasn't... More

This was given as a gift for my husband and myself. It was a wonderful experience. The food was excellent as well as the atmosphere and service. Unfortunately, this is not an inexpensive night out for 4 adults. After dinner, drinks, and tip, plan on spending a min. of $250 a couple and that is based on 2 drinks per... More

We went on the Cape Cod Elegant Dinner Train to celebrate my husband's birthday. We loved it! The food and service were excellent. We never felt rushed, but also didn't feel that we waited an excessive amount of time between courses. It got dark not too long after we left, so we couldn't see a lot, but still found the... More

My 3 yr old son is a big fan of trains so I booked a trip on this highly rated scenic train for our family of 4. Cost was $85.00 for all of us with my son getting the only discount... about $3.00 off the full price fare. This train was rated as one of the top ten best scenic... More

We paid over $100 for 2 people, plus another $5 to park! (and this was an afternoon rate) The ride, scenery & meal were all disappointing. View amounted to miles of brown cranberry bogs, golf course & lots & lots of bushes and tall weeds right next to the tracks blocking a lot of the view(?). Train swayed back and... More
