Viera on Main: Experience Classy New American Cuisine in Chatham

Viera on Main in Chatham is back open for the season. We dined at the bar where Jules was friendly, efficient, and attentive. Our meal was 3 appetizers, 1 entree, and 2 desserts. We were offered bread which was a basket with two warm rolls and a pat of butter. We started off with two Poached Jumbo White Shrimp. One of the shrimp was mushy and the other was perfect. The accompanying cocktail sauce was excellent and the spice level tasted great. The Tempura Fried Cauliflower, Curry Aioli, Apple Raisin Slaw, Toasted Pinenuts was amazing. The preparation and accompaniments were all brilliant. It was a hearty portion and I would go back just for this starter. I forgot to take a photo, sorry. Littleneck Clams Balboa in White Wine, Garlic, Lemon, Butter, Herbs, Chili Flake were a bit overcooked but still good. The broth was one of the best I've tasted. The Pan Seared Salmon in Caraway Beet Puree, Roasted Red Beets, Arugula Fennel Salad, Pickled Golden Beets was beautifully presented and the salmon was cooked perfectly and tasted great. There were a few beet pieces and the salad was small, but all delicious. We had a chocolate mousse and pistachio trifle which looked beautiful but was pretty flat in its taste. The lemon bar with rhubarb sorbet was also beautifully presented. It had great flavor and was a satisfying dessert. Fun to see the new menu. Hope they have a successful 2025. 3.5 stars this visit, so I rounded up to 4.

Had dinner here with my wife both the service and the food were good. She had salmon and I had the little necks with linguine. Claims were fresh and plentiful. Would definitely recommend.

We had a very delicious dinner here! It was easy to get a reservation for 5 on the weekend and we appreciated the parking lot in Chatham! I tried the "go fly a kite" cocktail which was balanced and yummy. For dinner we enjoyed the fresh baked (warm) rolls, the Chatham Mussels, Fresh Shucked Oysters, and the tartare of the day (tuna). All were excellent, fresh and delicious. For dinner I enjoyed the Day Boat Sea Scallops with Lemon Risotto, Sauteed Spinach, and Grilled Asparagus. The dish was sizable with super fresh and perfectly cooked scallops and a gorgeous creamy risotto that was so well balanced with the lemon, and salt from the scallops and veggies. My husband had the Dukkah Spiced Tuna with Moroccan Rice Pilaf, Blistered Tomatoes, Sauteed Spinach Roasted Garlic Olive Aioli, Balsamic Glaze. The tuna was cooked black and blue and although an unusual preparation was absolutely delicious if you're a fan of Mediterranean/ middle eastern flavors. Try it! Another person at our table had the clam chowder and salmon and they said both were very good! On top of a great culinary experience our waitress was incredibly professional and the perfect balance of attentive and friendly but not overbearing. Definitely give this place a try if you love seafood and want a treat!

My sister and I visited Chatham before heading over to Nantucket and decided to stop in Viera on Main for dinner after reading good reviews--plus they have some healthy/vegan-friendly options. The space is bigger than I was originally expecting, and there is outdoor seating too! It was a little breezy out so we opted to sit inside. For drinks, I went with Go Fly a Kite, which includes Gin Lane 1751 Victoria Pink Gin, Lillet Blanc, Aperol, lemon, and a half sugar rim. It is a pretty drink, and a touch sweeter than I normally prefer, but I happily sipped it as we waited for our food. I was happy to see they had a plant-based option, so I chose the Vegan Stuffed Zucchini. This dish included a couple zucchini "boats" filled with a mixture of chickpeas, jasmine rice, summer squash, bell pepper, and sweet Basil tomato sauce. The stuffed zucchini was drizzled with vegan basil aioli and a balsamic glaze. This dish was super flavorful and satisfying! I was surprised how tasty it was, honestly. I'd happily order the zucchini again, and might even try to make it at home. My sister ordered the salmon and seemed to enjoy her dinner as well. Service wasn't as spectacular as the food, but everyone has an off day every once in a while. Prices are pretty standard for the area, so no surprises there. Overall I'd recommend dining at Viera if you visit Chatham!

Celebrating some good news on a Friday and solo on the cape for the weekend. Decided to try Viera on Main for their finest hour, half off oysters. Great and fun bartender. Was a classy place when it was Vinings and still very classy as Viera's. I had half Wellfleet oysters and half Chatham. I told the bartender I was celebrating some good news. A nice split of Prosecco to toast myself. Also enjoyed a margarita. A pretty group of young women came in--yes, a rehearsal dinner group. Guess we were all celebrating! Cheers to the couple and to me.

We arrived a few minutes before our reservation and were seated right away at a cozy tabled for two. Renee was our friendly and attentive server. Drinks were ordered - we both wanted Mai Tais -- and warm crusty rolls were provided shortly after. The butter was room temperature and easy to spread, just how I like it. We ordered our favorite frito misto that always has surprises in addition to calamari. I'm pretty sure it was salmon and flounder tonight. So good! Husband got the swordfish with rice and haricot beans. I got the panko almond crusted flounder special with pearl couscous and shrimp also with haricot beans. Both were fabulous! Too full for dessert tonight. We were on our way home in about an hour. Perfect dinner out

My mom and I loved our meal here last weekend! This restaurant is right off of the main street in Chatham. There is a parking lot in the back, which is a huge plus because parking can be tricky on the main street. The restaurant is nice, but not stuffy and we had a cute table near the window. The wine selection was great and we loved our Pinot Gris from King Estate winery. I actually visited the winery in Oregon in 2019, so I was happy to see it on the menu! To start, we did raw oysters and shrimp cocktail. We also had the fritto misto. The shrimp cocktail was some of the best I've had and the fritto misto was next level! I loved the spicy aioli! I am not an oyster girl, but my mom said they were fabulous. For my entree, I had the scallops which were out of this world amazing! The corn sauce was so buttery and delicious and the seer on the scallops was perfect. My mom had a cod special and loved it as well. For dessert, I had the salted caramel pretzel martini. I loved the pretzels on the rim and it was a great sweet and salty treat to end the meal. I will definitely come back next time I'm in the Cape!

This place was great! We made reservations for 5, not realizing that they only serve "finest hour" from 3-5. We got there at 4:20 and asked if we could be seated sooner. They said that was fine, but dinner would not be available until 5. That was great, we just wanted a place to sit and have a drink after a couple of hours of shopping. We had a beer and some half price oysters, which were really good. Then for dinner we had rolls and clam chowder to start. I had the scallop dinner and my boyfriend had the chicken Milanese. I highly recommend this place for all food options! Half price oysters were $3.5 a piece.

We got a last minute dinner reservation here and overall enjoyed our food. The mussels were DELICIOUS -- uniquely served in a flavorful curry sauce -- definitely get this. We also loved the scallops, which were cooked perfectly, and the salmon (although it was a bit dry). Service was spectacular. Recommend for a meal, although there might be stronger options in the area. If you can, I recommend getting a table in the outdoor patio which is lit up beautifully.
