Summer Shanty
Our verdict
Summer Shanty is worth booking for a casual West Dennis seafood meal where the marina setting matters as much as the food. Go for lobster rolls, steamers, chowder, rice bowls, frozen drinks, and an easy sunset plan; skip it for formal service, a serious wine program, or a quiet business meal.
