    This was absolutely delicious. Not too much bread, got to really enjoy the fresh lobster meat.

    The lobster roll was amazing. The service was great. It seemed like a lovely locals place. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

    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!!

    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).

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

For an appetizer, we shared the sweet potato tempura stuffed with scallop and crab. It was light, flavorful, and beautifully prepared--an excellent start to the meal. For our entrées, the swordfish was wonderfully fresh and packed with flavor. While the accompanying potatoes were a bit dry and under-seasoned, the fish itself was outstanding. The seared tuna was cooked to perfection, with a beautiful crust and tender center, and the noodles complemented it perfectly. Fin has the charm of a historic home, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The bar is cozy and welcoming, though on the smaller side, so arriving early is a good idea. We were seated upstairs at a corner table, which provided plenty of privacy and made for a wonderfully romantic dining experience in a quaint and intimate setting. Our waitress seemed a little reserved at first but quickly warmed up and became attentive and engaging throughout the evening. Dinner for two, including tip, came in just under $200, putting it on the higher end of the price range, but the quality of the food, cocktails, and atmosphere made it well worth it. We will be back to try the oyster stew.

A couple of glasses of French (Burgundy) Chardonnay and we were very happy. Service was spot on.

They have a very small space with only a few tables and it makes their attention to detail just that much more exceptional. As a semi-picky eater I was a little nervous going in having so many courses but boy was I wrong. There was not one thing we got here that wasn't just incredible. Our favorite thing we had was the caviar course. Who knew you could do that to a potato! I can't wait to come in again and try all of the different seasonal options and see what their incredible chef has cooked up. One of the owners, Charlotte, was so kind and made coming in such a joy. Will be recommending to everyone! On their website, it does say that there's a chance you may be sitting by an air conditioner, which we were, and it was a touch cold, but we brought a light layer and it was totally fine.

It was just so comfortable and there's something to be said about that. The menu is short and sweet, one page. Everything except for the dishes at the bottom were small plates. So we ordered 5 small plates (shaved comte cheese, tuna crudo, fried oyster, Jonah crab salad, cape cod biscuit) and 1 large plate (Halibut). They don't have a full bar but offer wine, beer and canned cocktails. Everything was amazing, most notably the best Tuna Crudo I have ever had. So tender and fresh!! It was in an almost like Italian dressing type sauce with fresh basil. Wow, the flavors were delicious. It was so good, we ordered another one!! Dessert we did ice cream and cheese cake. Perfect ending to it all. I have talked about Lune for 3 weeks now and I can only hope I get the chance to come back! Til next time Lune!

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. Or the Mussels. Despite being disappointed with my entree, it was a wonderful place to enjoy an evening with friends.

While trying things on the menu I was happy to pick the shrimp tacos. They were perfectly cooked with pico, cotija cheese, and siracha aioli. The crust on the batter was flaky and light.

Most of their sandwiches have a gluten-free roll available for an extra two dollars. If you have a severe gluten allergy/ celiac disease, I probably would not risk most of the menu items.
