We keep hearing advertisements for "Staycations," What is up with that! One works hard all year just to gear up for VACATION. The idea of time off is to take advantage of the 4 "Rs" -- to rest, rejuvenate, relax and re-acquaint ourselves with those in our lives. How can one possibly do that, if they are staying in their own back yards. There is still cooking to do, so no great out-to-dinner meals. Beds still need to be made, rooms need to be picked up, and all those beach towels need to be washed. Staring at the lawn, you realize that needs to be mowed. You can't relax because someone always needs something from you. Our solution -- Come to our back yard and start your vacation at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa. No need to cook as you will have a gourmet breakfast upon awakening. Lunch is always great at a clam shack. Before dinner enjoy a light hors d'oeuvre on the back patio. And, of course, dinner can be either fine dining or relaxed. There is something for all palates. When you arrive back from dinner, search the video library, have a brandy or port, and a cookie, to appease the sweet tooth--Chocolate Sparrow has great deserts and candy, too. All that you didn't have to wash one pot, dish or pan. As to your accommodations -- kick back and relax. Your room is freshened daily. Your bed is made before you finish breakfast. All you have to do is sit on your porch, balcony, deck or the gazebo, kick up your feet and read that book that is on your "bucket list." If you have dishes to wash, those will be taken care of also. No muss no fuss. Stress Relief -- Bring those stress points to the Spa and have them worked on and out. A combination massage to alleviate those aches and pains, and soothe the senses is just what the VACATION ordered. Take advantage of all that the Cape has to offer. The whales have been extremely wonderful this year, sometimes spotting up to 50 at a time. See the water ecology of the Cape, while taking a Kayak trip with the guides at Goose Hummock. Hiking, biking and birding are great sport found at the Cape Cod National Seashore and at the Audubon Nature Center. Wine tasting at the Truro Winery lends itself to a nice little respite in your travels -- and don't forget the spice shop across the street. Lighthouses dot the Cape for great tours and views. And, in the evening be sure to take in a play or two at the Cape Cod summer theatres (where summer stock theatre began.) And, soon Cape Cod League Baseball will begin. See baseball the way our fathers enjoyed it, sitting on a grassy knoll with your picnic dinner. Or, just simply take a walk at low tide on Cape Cod Bay, and watch for an amazing amount of sea creatures. Follow our simple guide and check off what you see. So book your weekday vacation and remember until June 18th receive a 40% discount on any three nights, Sunday through Thursday. If you can only stay two nights, Sunday through Thursday, we will be happy to offer you our off-season rates through June 18th. Weekends are regular in-season prices now. Book early before your favorite room is taken. See you on Cape Cod -- the vacation that is only a car ride away.

Had dinner here the other night and the food is delicious. We tried the crab cakes and they were actually just crab, which made the rich and delicious. I had the frog legs as an entree, and they were to die for. I guess I get that from my mother, who was very conservative in her eating, but she loved her frog legs -- nice and little -- and she would have loved these. Also, had beets with dinner -- one of my favorite veggies there. One of the other ladies had the petite surf and turf and thoroughly enjoyed it. The third in our party had the veal saltimbocca and it was huge, delicious, and she had enough for the next night for dinner. It was a lovely dining experience all around. <strong>STARTERS Crab Bisque Academy Clams Littlenecks broiled with garlic, apricots, ham, macadamia nuts and butter Duck Potstickers Ground duck seasoned with 5 spices wrapped in won-ton wrappers Chesapeake Crab Cake Lump crab, sweet peppers and onions, pan-fried served with a pesto butter and roasted pepper coulis Southwestern Chicken Spring Rolls Shredded breast of chicken, peppers, onions, black beans and corn tossed with fresh cilantro, Cajun seasoning and a hint of cumin, rolled in thin rice skins and served crispy with yellow tomato salsa and chipotle lime sour cream Vegetable Samosas Carrots, peas, onions and potatoes, roasted with assorted spices and curry leaves, wrapped in thin pastry, served crispy with our house made chutney Butternut Raviolis Served with a prosciutto and sage butter ENTREES All entrées come with our House salad of mesclun greens, feta cheese, cucumbers, grape tomatoes and cranberry vinaigrette or Classic Caesar salad with garlic croutons and grated Parmesan cheese Turkey Dinner Fresh turkeys, slow roasted, served with sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, green beans and homemade cranberry sauce Sole Francaise Dipped in egg, sautéed, topped with blue crab and a lemon beurre blanc, served with rice pilaf, asparagus and carrots Pork Tenderloin Slow-roasted pork tenderloin with a maple cream sauce, served with sweet potato, green beans and corn Ocean Grille Sword Center cut, wood fire grilled, topped with our basil-Parmesan glaze, served with mashed potatoes, broccolini and sautéed zucchini & summer squash Flat Iron Steak 10 oz. flat iron steak, grilled over hickory with our house spices, garnished with your choice of buttermilk blue cheese butter or Bearnaise sauce, served with scalloped potatoes, asparagus and beets Veal Saltimbocca Veal scaloppini topped with Prosciutto, sage and fontina cheese, served with Marsala sauce, scalloped potatoes, broccolini and spaghetti squash DESSERTS An assortment of homemade pies or pumpkin mousse for you to enjoy $37.00 per person plus tax and gratuity So make your reservations at the Inn and we will be happy to make your dinner reservations from any of those listed today and yesterday.
