The Yardarm: A Local Tradition Since 1972
The Yardarm Restaurant is a small place with a big imprint. We pride ourselves on being the go-to meeting spot for locals in Orleans. On any given day, you may find fisherman, physicians, businessmen, men and women from all walks of life; all sharing stories over drinks or watching old movies, the Patriots, the Boston Red Sox or the Celtics. The Yardarm is a place where friends meet and new friends are met.
A big reason for our popularity is our fresh food, made daily. We have a great selection of dishes in many different styles, from steaks to homemade Gumbos to pasta dishes, but there’s no one else who prepares fish dishes like we do. In fact, the Yardarm is where the local fisherman go to eat.
You’ll meet some locals, hear some tall tales and see a slice of authentic Cape Cod. We’ve been around since 1972 and have seen our share of squalls and washashores, heard all manner of sea tales, local scuttlebutt and hearsay. Come on in, we’ll raise a glass with you and wish you all the best in your seaside adventures!

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS ? [DOJ MEDIA STATEMENT] ? An Orleans man pleaded guilty today in federal court in Boston to child pornography offenses.
Anthony Argo, 34, pleaded guilty to possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). U.S. District Court Judge Myong J. Joun scheduled sentencing for Feb. 25, 2025. Argo was arrested and charged in July 2024.
Argo was identified as the user of a chat application who was expressing sexual interest in minors and sharing CSAM. During a search of his residence, Argo was found in possession of an SD card and multiple USB drives, together containing more than 600 images depicting child pornography. The files depicted children as young as infants.
Argo was previously convicted in Barnstable District Court for indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or over, and in Orleans District Court for kidnapping, enticement of a child under 16, and distributing obscene matter to a minor.
Due to Argo's prior convictions, the charge of possession of child pornography provides for a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years and up to 20 years in prison, at least five years and up to a lifetime of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.
Acting United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy and Michael J. Krol, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in New England made the announcement today. Special assistance was provided by HSI Frederick Maryland and the Orleans Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lauren Maynard of the Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse, launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by the U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the DOJ's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identify and rescue victims.
