America's best waterfront restaurant is at a Cape Cod hotel, according to USA Today readers
The best waterfront restaurant in the country is on Cape Cod, according to USA Today. The newspaper's readers voted the Chatham Bars Inn's Beach House Grill as the top oceanside dining spot.
The newspaper says live entertainment on the weekends makes for the "perfect setting" at the beachfront restaurant.
"Perched on the iconic sands of Cape Cod, the Beach House Grill serves up fresh, coastal cuisine with a panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean," USA Today says. "Their expansive outdoor patio offers a relaxed, inviting atmosphere where guests can enjoy a variety of exceptional local seafood specials, including clams and lobster rolls."
The Chatham Bars Inn is notable in its own right for a stunning hydrangea collection, but you don't have to be a guest at the hotel to eat at the restaurant. Seating is available on the beach or on the patio.
