RooBar

Frommer's Review

RooBar is the top restaurant in town for service, food, and atmosphere. With handblown glass lamps over the bar and metal sconce sculptures on the walls, it's an arty and hip setting. An eclectic crowd fills the bar area, which has picture windows overlooking Falmouth's Main Street. The food is exceptionally yummy, if pricey. Creative appetizers include Thai wontons with ginger chicken and a crispy tuna stick with a spicy dipper sauce. Good main-course choices include the snapper pie, which is a braised snapper in a puff pastry, and coriander-crusted day-boat cod with fried coconut polenta. Pizzas ($11-$15) from the wood-fired oven come with unusual toppings like scallops, prosciutto, and beef satay. For dessert, skip the heavy Key lime pie and go for the crème brûlée. They don't take reservations, but if you call a half-hour ahead, you can put your name on the waiting list. Two other RooBars in Hyannis and Chatham are under different management but are also worth a visit.
