From July 1st, 1957, there had been two owners of Pates, Cloyde Pate followed by the Gardner family of Chatham. Mr. Pate opened the doors to what would soon become one of Cape Cod’s most beloved restaurants. Once a cozy hamburger and ice cream stand, Pates grew to be a place of celebration, camaraderie, and community. From the bonds staff made during countless summer seasons, to the engagements, anniversaries, birthdays, and family gatherings, Pates has been a backdrop for exceptional moments and people.

We are honored to steward the next chapter of the Pates journey. A renovated space to create new memories and friends, Pates is still that very special place. With careful consideration, we have redefined this Chatham classic and are serving up an experience rooted in the best things in life: great food, good people, and lifelong memories.

First time at this restaurant. The food was outstanding. But the best part was seeing our waitress, Ellen, who we have not seen in years. She's the best. We did not know she was working here, so it was a nice bonus to be served by her.

As usual Pate’s delivered great service (thank you Heather!) great food and a great atmosphere. Great wine list. The tuna, salmon and seafood pan roast dishes can’t be beat - all three of us were delighted with our meals. The flourless chocolate cake is not for the faint of heart - absolutely amazing!

Our food was delicious. The only difficulty was we were seated next to The door and a draft came our way every time it was opened. We had the halibut and the salmon both excellent. The renovation of Pate’s is beautiful. We will be back again, but will ask to sit away from the door.

Wonderful service and fabulous food. Great cocktails also!One suggestion: The video monitors on the dining room wall were distracting with their brightness and movement. Something static like artwork would be more desirable.

This is an excellent restaurant to go to when you want to talk to the people you are with. In that case, request seating a room away from the bar. The bar is fine too, but can be noisier. The food is excellent. The services is pleasant, helpful, and professional. Overall, dining there is a relaxing and worthwhile experience without the hassle of crowded Cape Cod dining where talking can be impossible.

The waiter was excellent. He offered suggestions and was very courteous and friendly. One of our meals came in overcooked (charred) and had to be returned. The waiter saw that we were not billed for it. Otherwise, the food was very tasty, served hot, and the desserts were terrific. The restaurant had a nice ambience and it was very comfortable sitting for an extended time.

Great spot for a celebration! The hostess wished me Happy Birthday when we checked in for dinner. Our server Teresa was awesome, bringing a bread basket with butter and white bean hummus. Delicious! We enjoyed that with our adult beverages. My husband remarked the halibut was the best he’d ever had eaten. My shrimp scampi had just the right amount of garlic and the linguine was perfect. No room for dessert!

We live locally but had not returned to Pate's since new ownership took place. It was a pleasant surprise. Not only were the food and drinks superb, but the tables were sufficiently separated that we could carry on conversations in normal voices without hearing anyone next to us. It was a lovely evening. We went with another local Chatham couple and we all said we would be coming back soon.

We had an incredible dinner at Pate's last night. Our reservation was for 5:15. If possible, go early. No noise and many open tables to choose. We began by sharing the calamari small plate--plenty for sharing! It was delicious, with a spicy tomato sauce. Then the entrees! My husband had the cioppino, which he raved about--lobster, shrimp, mussels, clams, fish in a tomato broth. With Pate's inhouse-made crackers for dunking, it was superb. I had the roasted swordfish with tempura green beans. Seriously one of the best dinners I have ever had. Needless to say, we were too full for dessert. Our server was very friendly and efficient, always smiling and always ready to answer our requests. We highly recommend Pate's, particularly for a special occasion. Prices are up, but the quality and creativity of the menu and the wonderful service are definitely worth it. You can see their menus and prices online. Go!
