Chatham Squire Review

You can't go wrong by ordering anything local from the long list of tried-and-true American standbys. The fish is as fresh and good as you get on Cape Cod, and the kitchen continues to innovate while still remaining true to its Cape roots. The calamari is always tender, the New England smoked-fish plate is delicious, and the clam chowder is a must. Expect a long wait in season, in which case you can visit the bar and pick up on the local gossip. A Fodors.com reader advises, "Go early, as this terrific place fills up fast on the weekends."

    Chatham Squire Review

    never trust greg bennett. he is the worst manager in the history of this establishment.
    Here is a letter I addressed to the squire to voice our recent experience.

    Good evening Chatham Squire I am writing to you to let you know that my family and I have been loyal patrons to your establishment for at least the past three decades. Tonight unfortunately was the first bad experience we have ever had due to one particular manager's handling of a issue with our party. My mother, a 61 year old woman, and a good family friend, only 10 years old were attempting to move a third table to connect them together to fit our entire party, as we have done for 30 years without issue. We apparently disturbed the guests sitting next to us and unknowingly caused a fire hazard. Your working manager for the night (who is the white male pictured in the lower right of your facebook picture) approached us immediately as enemies, not customers or patrons. As I previously stated my mother and the 10 year old were in the middle of moving the table when the manager (who name is Greg Bennett) came over and was immediately hostile and spoke to us in a demeaning and extremely unprofessional way. After we notified our waitress (who was exceptional) Greg Bennett made an abysmal effort at redeeming himself, and ended up being even more rude to my mother who never raised her voice and was at this point crying. Now I am not in any place to judge your establishments reputation, as it does precede you, however I feel compelled to let the management know how awful Mr. Bennett was at pleasing his customers which should be a number one priority....especially for a family that have been patrons of your restaurant since before I was born 21 years ago. I sincerely hope this issue can be resolved and the manager is disciplined appropriately.
    Best Wishes,
    James Hamill

    Perfectly casual

    We have lunch twice a month at the Squire.
    The lobster bisque is exceptional, fried oysters marvelous, steak sandwich the best anywhere and the fish sandwich the bargain on the menu. For fun, the pate is great! and the Ceasar salad beyond wonderful.
    Go early as this terrific place fills up fast on the weekends. Great for foodies and fast service. (Nice wines also.)
