I would like to begin this entry by thanking the thousands, if not millions of fish that die every year for our consumption. If it wasn't for you wonderful aquatic creatures, Cape Cod would be a very sorry affair.
Yes, Cape Cod, Newport Bay's buffet restaurant is an absolute haven for fish lovers. Whether it's the large variety of seafood based starters such as smoked salmon, shrimp and mackerel or the most beautifully cooked salmon on property, there is a fish dish for everyone's palette.
Now I love fish so I was a very happy teddy bear. The salmon in a white wine butter sauce melted in my mouth and was a real symphony of flavour. However, there wasn't really much for those who hated fish. There was an very decent roast with accompaniments and that's it on the savoury side. I apologise if you have vegans/vegetarians in your party because this buffet doesn't really have much for you unless you happen to like vegetable soup and salad.
Unfortunately the desserts also suffer from joining the "we hate vegan" clubs. So if you are doing veganuary, I'd hold fire on your visit here until February. However if you happen to love eating animal products, there's some really good stuff here. For example, there's "Hulk" lemon meringue which is finished with a white chocolate Hulk picture and tastes absolutely beautiful. There a little bit of mint in the lemon that elevates the flavour ten fold, needless to say I had plenty of these during my most recent trip here. The creme anglais here is also really smooth, creamy and beautiful. As a dessert fiend, I appreciated this very much!

Overall if you love fish, desserts or both, this place is a must visit and worth the 10 minute walk. However if you are a vegan or vegetarian, this place might not be the best place to part with your euros.
Final Score: 8.5/10
