One never passes Brewster Fish House on Route 6A without seeing people gathering near the front door waiting for a table. We had heard raves about their seafood dishes and while visiting the Cape in September decided to give it a try for lunch on a rainy day. We were seated right away in the busy dining room, which is quite small and simply appointed. The menu choices were varied with many tempting dishes to choose from. The waitress was pleasant. First we ordered a cocktail, and did not have to wait too long before our requested clam chowder arrived. The cocktail was small, and the clam chowder was good but not great. We ordered the special fish of the day, and it was good but not as unusually presented as had been indicated by our server. Perhaps it was the rainy day that dampened my enthusiasm for the Brewster Fish House that day, I'm not certain. I would try it again, maybe even at dinnertime, to give it a fair evaluation. Those crowds outside their door must mean something to dining patrons. Somehow I just didn't quite grasp it that day.
