DINING
The Perfect Balance
Pier 77 in Cape Porpoise offers the right mix of food, views, and value.Everything is an omen when you're dining out. Or maybe it isn't; I'm just superstitious enough to make a big deal out of how the first little moments go when I walk into a restaurant. Does the hostess make eye contact? Do they have my reservation? Is there room to wait at the bar while our table is readied? The entire evening can pivot on whether I get two olives in my martini or three.
So it is that I'm on high alert during the opening minutes of a visit to Pier 77, a popular waterfront place in Cape Porpoise. The hostess has made eye contact, they have our reservation, and we're being seated at seven-thirty sharp. So far, so good.
