Cuvée Cape Cod

Cuvée sits on Main Street in Chatham, just down the road from the Chatham Bars Inn Beach. It holds four stars from the Forbes Travel Guide.

The kitchen leans into a creative take on local seafood, which distinguishes the room from the traditional spots that define much of the town’s dining scene. While the room runs smart and elegant, it lacks the stuffiness found at other nearby fine-dining venues. You are here for the precision of the plates rather than the formality of the service, making it a better choice than the lighthouse-adjacent options if you want the polish without the ceremony.
