Editorial Review for Bubala's by the Bay – by Citysearch Editors

The Scene
This funky (what isn't in P-town?), medium-sized restaurant passes the litmus test for attentive service, reasonable prices and outstanding fare in a food-mad town. You can grab a booth in the dining room to look out onto the bay or people watch along Commercial Street from the outdoor patio.

The Food
The menu ranges from grilled tuna wasabi, baked Cuban cod and steamed lobster to roasted duck, lamb and a selection of pastas. All are reasonably priced and delicious. Don't miss the shrimp fajita, with a hefty serving of shrimp mixed with guacamole, sour cream and cheese. Foccacia sandwiches, salads, burgers, wraps and various seafood selections round out the lunch menu.

The problem with restaurants in a tourist market is that the food and service can be terrible and they can stay in business. In any other market, Bubala's would be long gone but in P-Town, they can serve bad food with even worse service and coast on a reputation that locals know they lost years ago. Avoid this place like the plague.

Pros: It's on the water. Nice view. Nice terrace.

Cons: Everything else.

I am truly amazed that this made a "best of" list. The food was bland, overpriced, and absolutely all the seafood was overcooked and rubbery. I actually returned my rubbery scallops to get new, properly cooked ones and was told by my server 20 minutes later that I should just order something else because the kitchen wasn't willing to prepare them the correct way. The lobster was also overcooked and dry. The service was rude and slow as well. I would never go back to this restaurant and was by far my worst eating experience at Cape Cod. I would recommend a roadside clamshack over this place.

Pros: Nice Patio

Cons: , Bad Service, Over-priced
