Excellent food and great service from start to finish

Those who visit Provincetown are aware of the overwhelming amount of choices for lunch and dinner available. The Patio American Grill and Blue Bar is one of those myriad choices. We were initially attracted by the larger, open air dining out in front and the casual chic look of the place. Luckily for us, the dining experience turned out to be even better than the cool, understated decor and great service.

For an appetizer I ordered a half dozen oysters. The oysters were extraordinarily fresh, slightly briny and super clean. For fear of spoiling my dinner appetite I didnt order more, but be aware that around happy hour (4-5pm) the oysters can be had for the great price of a dollar a piece. An incredible value for superb, fresh from the ocean tasting oysters .

For dinner, I had an extraordinary wild mushroom ravioli with roasted green onions in a cream sauce. The pasta was light, obviously home made, and perfectly cooked. The wild mushrooms (picked from nearby Truro) tasted fresh and earthy and, mixed with the savory cream sauce, left an incredible floating aromatic aftertaste you didnt want to get rid of. The roasted green onions provide a slight crisp texture and understated savory taste to perfectly compliment the meal. Literally, a perfect pasta dish.

My dining companions had “Mama’s Meatloaf” and the Lobster “Sliders” with fries. I tasted them both and they were also excellent.

The meatloaf was moist and very tasty with fresh garlic and low key onion, served with sauteed garlic spinach and mashed potatoes. The gravy was savory, delicious and was not so heavy as to mask the flavor of all other components.

The Lobster “Sliders” (three small burger buns with shaped lobster patties inside) were also very good. Small, delicate burger buns are home made, soft and very fresh. The lobster is also generous, perfectly cooked and deliciously fresh, with a very light mayonnaise dressing that compliments, rather than hides, the great natural flavors.

Sides are a la carte, so one of my dining companions grabbed an order of french fries. Most restaurants treat french fries as a throw away, but even the fries at Patio get the gourmet treatment. They appear to be cooked french Pomme Frite style, meaning soaked in water to remove excess starch and then twice fried to make them light, and super crispy. I was full and yet continued to munch on these because they were so addictively delicious!

The only downside to the meal was that the mixed drinks (a Caipirinha and a Passion Fruit Margarita) had a bit of a heavy hand in regards to alcohol. This is certainly not a negative point for most people since at least you get what you’re paying for versus just juice or sour mix, but it did disrupt our taste buds enough to affect the next bite of food.

Patio American Grill and Blue Bar does everything right to make itself a highly recommendable dining option in the overcrowded Provincetown market. Aside from the excellent, well prepared gourmet food, you also get a great vantage point to people watch and excellent hosts and waitstaff who are very friendly and accomodating to your requests.

It really is the perfect Provincetown casual gourmet dining experience.

Patio is wonderful

I have enjoyed Patio on numerous occassions and hope to do so in the future. What I particularly like about patio is the ambience and the friendly service. All the servers are really nice and look out for you. The drinks are great. I love the entree salads for lunch.

Best Lobster In Town

I am a lobster fanatic and Patio has it down. Many places in P-town overcook their lobster, so it is never really tender. At Patio they always get it right and in addition they have a wide range of lobster dishes. My personal favorite is just steamed with potatoes and corn, but the lobster ravioli are pretty good and the lobster stir fry is delicious

Sesame Lobster Stir Fry

Extremly delicious

Pros
One of the owner/ managers Shawn is the best, made sure our visit was top notch. Tim also a owner manager runs a top notch kitchen. As a former resident, the lobster pot might look like a tourist trap, but its the real deal!!!
