From a gray clapboard house right off of Route 6 in Wellfleet, The Wicked Oyster has earned a reputation for serving some of the Cape's most inventive cuisine. Open year round for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the restaurant's comfortable dining room, warm and welcoming bar and porch attract locals and visitors throughout the year.

Not surprisingly, the menu features its fare share of oysters (in soup and on the half shell for starters) but owners Kenneth Kozak and Eliza Fitts liven things up with an eclectic new American menu.
