About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    Our waitress Shannon was wonderful.! The beet salad was great and my husband loved the tuna cones. The scallops were ok. The succatash seemed to have everything in it. We didn't know what was in it. We couldn't tell what the puree was- it looked like gravy. Sometimes less is more. It's better to keep it simple.

    This restaurant is moderately upscale. The food was tasty, nicely presented and service was good . The noise level was moderate. The ambiance is contemporary and pleasant. The prices are higher than average for Cape Cod.

    All six people in our Mothers Day party were completely satisfied with everything- food, service, ambiance…. We haven’t been to Pates since it changed hands and will definitely be back.

    My previous experience with Pates was not satisfactory but we wanted to try again. We ate at a high top in the bar. Great ambiance and not too noisy. Previously we had been in the dining room that had no personality or appeal. Our waitperson was wonderful. Our drinks well blended. We had a spinach salad to share, small plate tacos and salmon entree, seriously, all extremely good. I can honestly say this was one of the best meals I’ve had on Cape in quite some time.

    We have been to Pates before and loved it, but tonight was disappointing. I had the tuna cones which were not very flavorful. My husband had the pork chop which was tasteless and chewy. He told the server he was in happy with the pork chop. She was concerned and gracious and immediately took it off the bill. She said she would bring it up with the chef and the management. She handled it perfectly.

    We had great service and delicious food at Pate's last night. The shishito peppers/brussel sprouts and the chicken dumpling starters were amazing as was the tuna main course. Our server Mishla (sp) was very attentive but not overly smothering. He made sure we had everything we needed and was timely on providing refills and our different courses. We enjoyed our evening there and will be back!
