Art on the Plate: Hyannis Yacht Club

Cape Cod Life  /  September/October 2020 / Food & Dining

Writer : Elizabeth Shaw / Photographer : Elizabeth Shaw 

Restaurant Manager: Bob Signoriello · Executive Chef: Suraj “Sunny” Chopra

The sun is shining on a perfect Cape Cod summer day; the seagulls cry overhead as kids board their Optis to learn the art of sailing. Sitting on the deck or in front of one of the endless windows inside, enjoying a gourmet meal, one can soak up the vistas of an idyllic beach day. Nestled along Lewis Bay, the Hyannis Yacht Club provides its guests with unmatched hospitality and show-stopping dishes. 

The dining room on the upper floor of the club, The Captain’s Table , features panoramic views of the stunning water beyond. Outdoor seating on the two decks offers an immersive experience, while the dark wood and endless yachting memorabilia inside is evocative of the below decks of any of the boats docked below. While the Hyannis Yacht Club is private, two levels of memberships are available, depending on interests. For those who want to take advantage of the beautiful bay, the Yachting membership is perfect. If fine dining is more your speed, the Associate Dining membership provides members with the top-notch service, food and impeccable views from The Captain’s Table Dining Room. “Being a private member service, we want to ensure members have a great experience and feel valued. It’s not about the bottom line here; it’s about making sure guests enjoy themselves,” says Restuarant Manager Bob Signoriello. “I want people to feel like they’re special here. It’s their home away from home. Our goal is to have staff who remember everyone’s names, so when you come here, it’s more than just a restaurant, it’s a family.”

Chef Suraj Chopra, known as Chef Sunny to his co-workers, creates fresh, innovative specials for guests at The Captain’s Table. For him, new ideas and creations are always on rotation, with a notebook filled with sketches of dishes he plans to cook. He says, “Every single special I do, or anything I’ve ever made, I always draw it out first. You have to draw it, otherwise, you won’t know what it’s going to look like.” He has always approached his cooking and plating with the knowledge that guests eat with their eyes first. “When the plate is put down, you want that ‘Wow.’ If you don’t have the ‘Wow,’ it’s not fun,” he laughs. Chef Sunny credits his mentor during an internship in India, who showed him a new twist on a classic Indian rice cake dish called Idlis, saying, “This chef took the rice cake, punched a hole in it, and filled it with chocolate. It blew my mind. I obviously knew what it was, I knew what chocolate was, but I didn’t know you could make something like that and mix them together. I worked under that chef for four months and completely fell in love with cooking.”

That love for cooking is clear in everything he makes. Above, pan seared scallops dusted with fennel pollen are accompanied by a triangle of watermelon, which was compressed for eight hours with a ginger sugar vinaigrette. It’s then topped with a shaved white asparagus, shaved fennel and frisée salad which is tossed with orange zest and olive oil, and dotted with an heirloom tomato and jalapeño jam, and a mango, kaffir and lime a la nage. Everything is garnished with Thai basil, chive blossoms and cress. Chef Sunny says scallops are some of his favorite things to cook, and that using them for this dish was an easy choice, but how to make them fresh and exciting had him pulling out his notebook for inspiration. “I sketched for six days,” he laughs. He then experimented with the shapes and sizes of the watermelon before deciding on the perfect triangle, which then allows for symmetrical placement of the three scallops, one on each corner, while the cyclone of salad on top adds height and levity to the dish. When asked if there’s any advice he would give to aspiring chefs, Chef Sunny says “It doesn’t matter how long it takes to master your basic techniques, they will build the foundation upon which every dish is created.”

I had a very nice Brunch with my dear hubby on Sunday morning at the Hyannis Yacht Club. We started off at the Bloody Mary and Mimosa Bar where they had all sorts of tempting items to dress up your 'Bloody' with. I opted for for a simple spear of olives, a cooked shrimp, some lemon and a big ol' piece of candied bacon. That was just delicious! Next stop was 1/2 dozen local oysters with a lovely mignonette and a spicy cocktail sauce. The oysters were chilled, sweet, briny and luscious. Yum! For my entrée I had the Eggs Benedict interpretation which today was thinly sliced prime rib, poached eggs topped with horseradish hollandaise, alongside some smashed fingerling potatoes and a simple salad. This was just delicious. The eggs were poached perfectly, the beef was buttery and the hollandaise was not overpowered by horseradish. Smashed potatoes are the 'thing' right now and these were delicious. The salad was dressed lightly with sweet tender greens. Our server Shanese is a treasure! I would say that the entire meal was a great success! Mr. B and I have decided to go back this Sunday for Brunch again. There were too many things I still want to try.

Just had dinner there. Best view of Lewis Bay and Hyannis Harbor. The food was delicious, service excellent, friendly bartenders and a fun group hanging around the bar. Perfect night to sit on the deck

Right next door. Try the lobster quesadillas. Awesome Unfortunately, it's not open to the public. You have to be a member.

Once again, a Saturday night with their LOUD, RUDE, inconsiderate staff and guests. They have ZERO cares about their neighbors privacy.

I live in the neighborhood and they have ZERO respect for their loud music, fireworks, etc late night. Have some consideration. The staff answers the phone laughing like prepubescent teenagers as well, super classy place.

It appears no hier-ups at the club pay attention to the reviews, mostly critical/negative with no attention to change. Yes, old, stuffy, poor immediate service--we sat for 15-20 minutes bf anyone came to our table. For the cost of membership, kick up your service and staff. Just deplorable service for cost of membership. To Iris R above, 5 stars for just the view, and all down hill from there ?? We can get great views from other restaurants on the Cape without the member fee. You need to change out to younger and more efficient, attentive staff for starters, or at least more staff to serve us.

The service is going downhill - last couple of visits at the bar were not pleasant. During our last visit two weeks ago the bar was packed as always but the only bartender didn't have any help from the other staff or from the manager who seemed to only make things worst. The bartender was very professional and friendly but it was impossible for him to keep up. Not sure why the manager didn't assist (or instruct other staff hanging around) with clearing tables, taking drink orders, etc. etc. The food was mediocre a trend of this place for the past year.

Awesome view! It faces the harbour so it is wonderful to watch Yachts floating and water during sunset or sunrise! Right next to it there is a JFK memorial park good to walk after a meal. I would be very careful with mosquitos. There a lot of them and I don't think that repellents work at all, so long sleeve clothing advised.

I stopped here for dinner on a Wednesday night since I was traveling with someone whom is a member here. The view from s excellent but it definitely has that older stuffier feel. The service was a bit weak for a club of this level....we waiting maybe 5 minutes to have someone come up to our table and ask us for drink orders/menus etc. The food was well prepared and tasty. Lobster bisque with some spice was very good. Tuna tacos also did not disappoint...maybe a little more pickled veggies and they would be exceptional.

Last year we were somewhat disappointed in the food and the service. I am sure that new management, chef issues and the change of staff had much to do with issues we experienced. However we have been to the HYC 3 times in the last 4 weeks and we have enjoyed the food, service and attention shown by the entire staff. Great job to all at the HYC. We will be returning throughout the summer and the seasons to come.

I invited a group for a graduation celebration (11 people) and again yesterday for a birthday luncheon celebration (5 people) and the food was well below former experiences at HYC. This has been consistent with casual lunches and dinners at the club in the past year or so. Very disappointing. Ambiance and view are remarkable and dining room staff very attentive but food was either overcooked, undercooked or just average. Nothing special. Desserts appeared to be prepared well in advance of serving (frozen?). Dining room staff was excellent and newly designed facility very nice ... view is wonderful. Disappointing since former (a couple of years ago) experiences had been first rate.
