Quick Details
FIVE-COURSE DINNER AND TRAIN RIDE IN CAPE COD!
A true culinary journey, this train travels through quaint Cape villages accompanied by romantic music and soft candlelight. As guests soak in the ambiance and relax to the rhythms of the rails, a fresh five-course gourmet meal is prepared and served on white table linens in traditional rail style.
Our menus change from late spring to summer to fall, so make plans to return and try a new variation of our seafood, beef, and chicken entrees. With three classes of service, you can select a new rail car to try on a return ride as well. More details about the menus and classes of service can be found in the tabs below.
Advance reservations are required. A five-course meal and three-hour train ride are included in the fare. Massachusetts Meal Tax is also included. Gratuity is NOT included.
Proper dinner attire requested. No jeans, denim shorts, or T-shirts. Khaki shorts and a golf shirt are ok. A full bar is available, and all beverages are sold separately.
Note: Please plan to arrive 45-minutes prior to departure to allow time to park and pick up your tickets. We begin boarding 30-minutes prior to departure and cannot hold the train for late passengers. Thank you and we look forward to welcoming you aboard!
Please note: The train departs in all weather.
*For parties of eight or more, an automatic 18% gratuity will be added to your bill to ensure that our hardworking server who waits on the group will be properly compensated (even if the customers decide to split the bill or want separate checks).
Requests to sit with other parties cannot be guaranteed, but we do our best to honor when possible. To ensure that you are all sitting together, you’ll need to add all guests to ONE reservation, with ONE payment. Thank you and we look forward to welcoming you aboard!
Railroad Bridge Delays: Timely movement of maritime traffic in the Cape Cod Canal takes priority over use of the Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge. Therefore, this train may experience a delay in traveling across the bridge, and in rare cases, may need to forego crossing the bridge entirely. While we will make every effort to cross the bridge, unfortunately due to maritime traffic, there are rare occasions that lowering it may not be possible. You will still enjoy a delicious, freshly prepared 5-course meal and will travel through some of Cape Cod’s beautiful coastal communities. Therefore, no refunds will be given in the event that the bridge is unavailable to us. Additionally, please note that while the anticipated duration of the Cape Cod Dinner Train is approximately three hours, delays due to unforeseen circumstances can occur. Please plan your evening accordingly.
