We dined at Cape Arundel in August 2012 for my wife's birthday. What could and should have been a spectacular meal was spoiled by what must have been a very bad night in the kitchen. Appetizer was scallops which were drastically overcooked - and cold followed by salads on warm plates and lukewarm (and overdone) entrees. Having been here in... More

We had a wonderful dinner here at the Cape Arundel Inn. I did not feel the host was very good at seating. He gave us an end table close to the entrance when there were wonderful window seats or a seat near the Christmas tree which would have made our visit very romantic. We did have reservations but maybe the... More

The view was spectacular and the service was excellent and the food was delicious!....Loved our time there and would go back again

Our server did everything he could to compensate -- but there's only so much you can do when the food comes out VERY slowly... More

Dinner was very good and decent portion size. Service was top-notch. Go for sunset time dinner reservation. they need a bar which is rumored to be constructed january 2013

We dined here in 2001 and everything was perfect. We looked forward to our return this year but we left disappointed. The menu were not very enticing for a seafood venue.. One of the specials was a Veal T-bone which was overdone and lacking in flavor. Sadly, we won't return.
