    The Pheasant is an all star experience in Cape Cod. You do not want to miss this place the next time you're in the Cape. The service was impeccable, our waiter knew the menu and made excellent recommendations. We enjoyed the clams most of all, I highly recommend not skipping out on them. Cocktails were killer and if you're unsure of the flavor profiles just ask! They were incredibly well balanced drinks. The place feels like you've stumbled into a lush secret garden and you sort of get lost in that atmosphere.

    Chocolate ganache with meringue
    Carlen Z.

    Came here with two other people for our last night in Cape Cod before heading back to NYC. Luckily we were able to check in much earlier than our reservation due to a table opening up. I started out with a Coast to Coast cocktail, which was delightfully fruity but not overly sweet. My partner had a dry cider which was skillfully poured into a glass to minimize foam. For starters, we got the scallop crudo with watermelon aguachile and sourdough with seaweed butter. The scallops were so buttery smooth and fresh, balancing out the acidity and kick of the aguachile. The watermelon had a lovely kick to it as well, as did the cucumbers. The bread was pretty good--it came warm and the koji-seaweed butter was perfectly spreadable. I couldn't really taste the koji-seaweed flavor but the butter was still delicious because... butter. My companions got the mushroom cavatelli (which she enjoyed--she said it was a tad too peppery but she also has the lowest spice tolerance known to man) and the market salad and short rib (which he enjoyed). My partner particularly enjoyed the mustard vin that came with the salad. I ordered the steamed clams in vinho verde and green oil, which were delicious. I only wish I had saved some bread to dip in it, so don't make the same mistake I made by eating all the bread--save some for dipping! I also got the smoked cabbage on the recommendation of our waiter, with promises that the preparation was extremely un-cabbage-like and I can confirm this is the case. As a cabbage-hater (and honestly a general vegetable-hater), I enjoyed the dish and would encourage fellow cabbage-haters to give it a chance! We finished the meal with the chocolate ganache and meringue--so rich, so creamy, and not too sweet (iykyk). I'd recommend for fans of dark chocolate but not for lovers of super sweet milk chocolate. The highlight of our meal (besides the food) was our wonderful server, Jackson. He was incredibly patient with my indecisive Libra friend and helped her decide between two dishes. He empathized with me as a fellow cabbage-hater but recommended the smoked cabbage anyway, making the recommendation all the more strong. We really appreciate how much care he spent checking in with us and chatting with us throughout the meal--it made the meal that much more enjoyable. Looking forward to visiting The Pheasant again during our next visit!

    Crowe's Pasture Oysters

    We dined around 8 at the bar last night and found the food, the staff, and the atmosphere were all winning. We started with their 6 oysters from Crowes Pasture in Dennis which were served with a lemon & charred fennel mignonette. We both agreed they were the best oysters we've ever eaten. The mignonette was sublime. The scallop crudo with rhubarb aguachile and radish was perfect. I included a photo of Smoked Cabbage with Cashew labne, dukkah, mandarin curd, but we ate it so fast that the plate is empty. It was incredible. The wine list offered fine glasses and bottles selections from which we chose an 2018 JM Stephan Côte Rotie. It was amazing. The solo bartender was making all of the drinks for the restaurant and serving the bar guests. Her ability and agility was impressive. The restaurant is lucky to have her we think. Can't wait to return.

    Look at that cozy atmosphere

    A very cozy spot that was great for our anniversary dinner. It was so neat to be eating inside a 250+ year old building with all the original wooden Timbers and flooring. Our server, Katie, was simply wonderful. Very attentive and friendly. The food was good with the fresh local ingredients though a few of the dishes were a bit eclectic in their composition. The bread and butter was wonderful. Big, crusty toasted slices of sourdough with soften butter. Yum. Our favorite dish was surprisingly the charred cabbage. The XO sauce was packed full of flavor and the cabbage was tender. The entrees were where things got interesting. The Uli's mushroom dish had lots of umami, curry flavor...and butter pickles? Really confused by that since the menu didn't mention pickles. The fish dish came on top of a beans in a dashi broth. This would have been good as separate dishes but not so much together. We did end things on a high note though. The corn cake dessert was delightful. The savory honey butter and the tart cherry compote made a nice yin and Yang for the cornbread-like pastry. Overall it is a solid place with great ambience. The ingredients are fresh and a tapas setup means you get to try everything. However, just double check a few of the dishes to make sure the flavor combos work for you.

And we decided to try this weekend when my daughter came with a friend. We will definitely going back. The main complaint is that is hard to get a reservation. We started with calimari. It was pretty, but not exceptional. My wife had the onon soup. For main courses we had the beet and arugula salads, (the arugula with shrimp), the flounder and the crispy salads. The main reason I cam giving the restaurant 5* was the scallops. These were far from the typical fried scallops. They had a like panko coating, served with succotash, and were quite good, even by Cape Cod standards for scallops. The salads are both also very good. Service was attentive and not intrusive.

I've found this restaurant to be one of the best ones around. Scargo is one of the reasons why travelers shouldn't skip Route 6A. I'm usually there during off-peak (translation: cold) times, so I tend to gravitate towards more robust menu offerings. The French onion soup is quite good, with a nice beefy broth and a generous amount of cheese. It's nice that the restaurant offers bread, which is becoming a rarer occurrence. The entree portions are quite strong. The lemon flounder filets were nicely pan-fried and not overcooked. The seafood strudel has a good amount of seafood, including a lot of shrimp and smaller scallops. I don't think they have the cioppino anymore but that was also a quality entree as well. Service has always been friendly and professional. The servers are good at making friendly conversation without dragging down efficiency.

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.

My favorite courses were the caviar and dessert. The white asparagus course was inspired and delicious, though it needed another minute or two to achieve a perfect texture. The sous vide veal breast was a miss. The ratio of meat to fat skewed too heavily toward fat. The diners I observed around me at the bar all left fat on their plates. That said, the sauce and spinach accompaniments were delicious. The bread, optional caviar, and dessert courses were brilliant. The wine pairings fell a bit flat, I thought--they were all good, but none compelled me to ask for more or to see the labels for later purchase. I loved watching the culinary theater from the bar seating. It was a bit more hectic than I recall from my last visit, but it was clear that the staff were working hard and collaborating effectively. A talented local artist's work on the walls here could definitely elevate the ambiance.
