My wife and I went back to Orleans to visit old friends. They made a reservation for the four of us at The Beacon. My wife and I shared a Caesar salad - delicious and plenty for the two of us. She chose the swordfish,...I the Seafood Era Diavlo. Both were truly excellent. Add two drinks: chardonnay for my wife; Beefeaters gin for me. Total: $94.68, not including tip. Surely, The Beacon is one of the best in Orleans. The best as far as I am concerned.More

For me The Beacon Room always had the best fried Calamari on the Lower and Outer Cape, and you need to note the use of the past tense, “had”. On my recent visit I told the neighboring diners that I was having the “best calamari...on the Cape” as I waited for my order to arrive, but when it arrived, the disappointment immediately set in. They changed the presentation from what was very appealing and appetizing to something more ‘normal’ to the other restaurants. Yes, the ingredients seemed to be still the same – Calamari corn crusted, deep fried with jalapeños and chouriço – but in a way, it was not the same. Maybe the presentation threw me off, but the flavor also did not meet “the way it used to be”. The Calamari has always been a ‘go to’ given when I dined at The Beacon Room, but now it has been moved to the back seat, if not the rumble seat. Other than that, everything else continues on course at The Beacon Room.More

A bit expensive for lunch, but then we had soup, sandwiches with fries and then dessert. Everything was so good, we were lured on to the next course. Highly recommend the curry croissant. Staff were friendly and attentive. Very pleasant. Look forward to next visit.

The Beacon is just that....hidden gem! Cozy, friendly atmosphere to enjoy delicious lunch! We have stopped several times and Beacon never disappoints. Julie was our sweet server. We never felt rushed. Each plate was well presented and portions large. We will continue to stop when...in the Orleans area.More

Can't believe I never knew this restaurant was here. Stopped in for lunch. Interior is cosy. Staff was friendly. And, to top it off had one of the best burgers ( cooked med rare with cheddar cheese with sautéed onions )and french fries that I...had had in ages. Next time I am in the area will definitely go back to try other things on the menu.More

We both had the Surf n Turf special, and in over 40 years of coming to the Cape, it’s one of my favorite meals. Ever. The presentation was beautiful, the chowder delicious, and the lobster and filet were perfectly prepared. We also liked the ambiance...and the wait staff. We highly recommend this gem!More

This was our second trip to the Beacon Room. The food was very good, but not great which it should have been given prices in the $30+ range. We were a party of 6 and the service was excellent. The clam chowder offered as an...appetizer was good, but not great. It didn’t taste briny and had very few clams. I had a special, seared halibut, over delicious risotto as an entree. It was good but tasted more like it had been baked than pan seared. My partner was very disappointed. The ravioli he ordered was very spicy which was not in the description. He ended up getting sick. Two people in our party had duck which they pronounced two notches down from duck one of them had had at a different restaurant a few days earlier. We had key lime pie for dessert which was pleasingly tart. It is necessary to make a reservation, even on a week night.More
