About the restaurant

The Popponesset Inn at New Seabury, just yards away from the coastline, offers sweeping views of Nantucket Sound and Martha's Vineyard. The Inn itself is a 50-year-old restored Cape Cod style restaurant that offers lighter fare in a relaxed setting and a 200-seat tented oceanfront facility for weddings and private functions.

The building itself was the Officer's Club for the Otis Air Force Base in the late forties.

Cape Cod residents and vacationers have long enjoyed the spectacular view and fabulous cuisine at this very special spot.

We had a great dinner with a fantastic view. Service was top notch....and our dinners were excellent! The only complaint I have is that they aren't open all year around! Go soon before they close for the season!

Good but not amazing. Chipolte BBQ steak tips were excellent but the taters that came with it were boring and we didn’t really eat them. Veggie pizza was also good. Service was slow but pleasant. Their twist on Boston cream pie was good.
