We visited Grand Cru Wine and Bar recently... It is not one of our usual restaurants on Cape Cod, as I dislike fighting the traffic on Rt 132. I am also usually not too keen on the idea of dining inside a hotel (Cape Codder Resort and Spa)... However, if one gets past these drawbacks, the Grand Cru Wine and Bar is well worth the visit if you are after the mellow athmosphere, soft jazz music and a good selection of wines by the bottle. The complete menu can be found here:

I have greatly enjoyed garlic bread, lobster bisque (am usually not hugely fond of lobster as I find it lacking in flavor but this was truly truly good) and steak delmonico, thoroughly to die for. It was full of juicy flavor, done exactly as requested (medium rare) and accompanied by excellent mashed potatoes.
Chuck has ordered steak au poivre and found it measuring up 'tre bien' to his gold standard of steak au poivre as served in Le Troumilou in Paris :)
We have sampled both Viogner and Zinfandel at this Cape Cod restaurant (on 2 different occasions) and found both to be very satisfactory. The price of wine by glass or bottle is reasonable ($6-10/glass, $26-44 bottle).
