    Arugula Salad -sub Romaine
    Maria G.

    Ok- so first I have to say I LOVE Scargo Cafe. It is one of my favorite restaurants- not only on Cape, but in all of New England- and I travel and eat out a lot. The food is always outstanding, the presentation superb, and the service is exceptional. This visit was a belated Birthday lunch- oh and did I mention that they call you on your Birthday and sing to you? It's amazing! They also give you 20% off your entire meal if you choose to dine in. That is fantastic. So we got their scrumptious French Onion Soup- there isn't one better. ANYWHERE. SO.MUCH. CHEESY.GOODNESS. So much flavor in the soup itself. We ordered the Arugula Salad-with Romaine lettuce instead, and chicken on the side, Pasta, with marinara- (a special request) and the incredible Shrimp Scampi Flatbread. Honestly, they really should sell that Shrimp Scampi on its own as well- it is so good!! Everything was outstanding. The food, the service, and the setting can never be beat. It is so lovely in there. It really makes me miss living on the Cape!!

    Cozy atmosphere with reasonable prices. We were seated in a private little alcove room which was nice but then we were a little concerned that they forgot about us as no one came to get our drink orders. Eventually our server arrived and apologized and explained why she took so long. From then on our experience was great. Our server (Anke) was very personable and fun. The food was delicious. Friends in our party had the lamb, salmon and grilled sirloin. Everyone thought the food was delicious. The complimentary warm bread was perfect too! Would definitely return.

    I enjoyed my birthday dinner here at Scargo Cafe. The restaurant has great ambiance and is located on beautiful RTE 6A on Cape Cod. For starters, we shared the artichoke and spinach dip which was amazing. One of the best we ever had. The menu had great selections for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. I enjoyed the Mongolian Pork chop which I paired with an Australian Shiraz. The pork was cooked to perfection and the sides, braised red cabbage and mashed potatoes, were great. My spouse enjoyed the Tofu Power Bowl. She went with one of their signature cocktails, the Poinsettia. Service was attentive and timely. Though being on Thursday night in the middle of winter, the restaurant was pretty full. Highly recommend reservations any time of year and I can only imagine how busy this place is in the summer.

    Back for another dinner. We started with cocktails - the Espresso Martini and the Cosmo. Both were perfectly prepared and well poured. As an appetizer we chose the Mediterranean Charcuterie. An excellent choice as a starter. For the dinner, the Honey ordered the Mongolian Pork Chop, her favorite, I, the Roasted Cod. These too, were perfectly prepared and beautifully plated. I would have liked something on the cod plate to absorb the delicious sauce of the Ratatouille but otherwise it was outstanding. We finished with coffee and the flourless chocolate torte. A decadent treat! The one complaint was that our food came out too quickly. We were not quite finished with our appetizer when the dinner plates arrived. That was unexpected, based on our previous experience here. Otherwise all was great. The ambiance, the service and the quality of the meal. We'll definitely be back (maybe next time we'll wait to order the main course after the appetizer is served).

    The French onion soup was outstanding! As was the fresh bread!
    Patti L.

    Excellent experience. Everyone (staff and other local patrons) we so friendly to these two out of towners. The French onion soup was served in a crock, smothered in cheese! It was the best I've ever had! The ambiance was warm and comfortable. A wonderful experience for sure. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    One of our favorite places in the cape. They are always so friendly and the dining rooms evoke the cape. The food is always consistently good!

    We had a delicious dinner at Scargo and we had the kindest and most attentive server, Destiny. She was so sweet and happy to answer our questions. She's bubbly and very friendly so we recommend you ask for her. Also the food was spectacular! So yummy! Best lobster linguine ever! My partner loved the sirloin steak and we both shared oysters that were superb. The manager, Kelsie, is very welcoming and warm as well!

    Tuna Martini
    Alan L.

    Comfortable room and good food. The meal highlights were very good: - Tuna Martini - Blue Corn Encrusted Sea Scallops - Grapenut custard Two things were disappointing: - On My Front Porch Swing cocktail - The Lobster Florentine sauce (the Lobster was delicious) The service was attentive and helpful. We will return for the Tuna Martini and to try other dishes.

    The special was lobster and pasta and there was hardly any lobster visible for 46.00. Not worth it at all. Service was ok.

Wine was still available in 3oz. and 5oz. pours, and we found a couple that we really enjoyed. We received fantastic service at the counter, and we were checked on several times while we were seated (we were lucky enough to get the plush chairs by the window). Their full wine list is extensive and interesting. Depending on from what direction you approach, navigation might give you a very scenic route along the circular "road." Parking is spread out in that area, and one-way arrows exist, but not enough of them.

Set in a beautifully preserved farmhouse that is more than 200 years old, right along Route 6A, the restaurant feels both timeless and welcoming from the moment you arrive. The food was remarkable. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted, from the seared dayboat scallops with piccalilli to the braised short rib, all paired with an impressive and well curated wine selection. Each course added to the experience and made the evening feel special without ever feeling overdone. What truly elevated the night was the hospitality. Renae, the manager, along with his entire team, was outstanding. Attentive, warm, and clearly passionate about what they do, they made sure everything ran seamlessly and that every guest felt genuinely cared for. The setting itself is just as memorable as the meal. Wide wood floors, exposed beams, and the subtle, comforting scent of a wood burning stove create a warm and inviting atmosphere that is perfect for a celebration or a quiet night out. We had such a great time, and it is easy to see why The Pheasant holds such a special place on the Cape.

I also remember that, even though the waitress said it was her favorite as soon as I took a bite I could tell it was a dish I did not care for. I ate a few bites and left the rest. It was some kind of steak with a special preparation. I've looked at the restaurant menu but do not see it listed. It was a special for that evening. The restaurant had a nice Cape Cod feel to it, and it was crowded. There was a large party sitting near by and the acoustics being what they are, it was a little noisy but they left after a bit. The lighting was dim, but it was a pleasant evening and the service was great. They had a nice selection of wines. My friend had the Eggplant Vindaloo, which I had considered ordering and it was a huge serving. She took it back and ate it for several days. Another friend ordered and ate appetizers and loved the Maine Mussels Dijonnaise. I guess it was just my luck of the draw. I should have gone with my first idea and ordered the Eggplant.

The interior is pretty basic, small tables and small chairs, so a person of substance such as myself didn't find the seating comfortable. I tried: - French onion soup: this should have been an easy win. I found the Gruyere cheese to be overly thick, and the broth to be heavy handed on the wine. - Steak tartare: this was a good dish. The beef was thin cut, smooth, and the egg was cooked just right so the yolk added richness that then got offset by the capers. Due to the richness, you may actually find that this could be all you need for a meal, despite it looking small. - Croque Madame: le sigh, what a failure this sandwich was. Over easy egg? Not today, over medium, so not much runny yolk but a thicker one. This is a gigantic salt bomb, in addition. They serve your water in tiny glasses and every bite led to downing an entire glass of water. It's good they were on top of refilling the glasses, but even then I finished a quarter of this before I couldn't take it any more. I did saunter over to the counter where they have a lot of good looking pastries, so we'll see if the ones I bought end up redeeming this place. As it stands, I can't recommend this establishment unless you'd like to try the tartare.
