The menu at The Wayfarer is crafted with care, emphasizing both fresh, local ingredients and bold flavors. One standout dish, the famed crab bake, has earned accolades for its perfect cooking and richness.

“ I had the crab bake. Each items was perfectly cooked and delicious. $51 seemed like a lot but I would order it again and again. My partner had the daily special which was baked halibut with crab. Loved it too. All the staff were friendly and our waiter, Eric added greatly to the experience. We also had a booth with a perfect view of the Haystack Rocks. Great dinning experience. ”
“ Too much food. Come here if you’re hungry. We had cocktails to start. The mulberry mule and something that was a blood orange something. Both were good. The mule was very sweet. We had the clam chowder and Caesar salad for appetizers. The salad was delicious. The chowder was good. I thought it was one of my favorites, ever. My wife thought it had too much bacon/smoke flavor. You can decide. Either way the portion was a huge bowl. Then came the entrees. We should have split one dish. The halibut was good but slightly overcooked. The salmon dish was our favorite and what I would get again. The risotto with the halibut was incredibly rich and filling. Be warned. No room for dessert. ”

“ Food was good, went for dinner then breakfast. Had the steak and clam chowder. I was not expecting to be impressed by the food. Chowder was thick and flavorful. ..steak was also well cooked, medium rare. Desert was delicious. Would definitely go back! ”
