Best Restaurants on Cape Cod, Massachusetts | Eater Boston

"The Pheasant, located on Route 6A in Dennis and owned by Adam and Erica Dunn (former Brooklyn restaurateurs), serves locally-sourced food in a restored, centuries-old barn. The wood-filled interior is beautiful, and chef Andrew Reilly works with his team to create dishes like crispy potato mille-feuille with crème frâiche and smoked trout roe, wild mushrooms with white beans and gremolata, sweet pea agnolotti, and steelhead trout with local clams and Chatham Bars Inn Farm choy toi. We also recommend visiting Dunn & Sons Wine, a wine shop in Yarmouth Port, and Baleine, a small plates and wine bar opening in early summer in Dennis, by the same team." - Anna Darrow

We were looking forward to our meal all week but it was a bit of a disappointment. The restaurant itself is beautiful and well decorated. It took a really long time to get cocktails, just 2 for a table of 5. Once they arrived they were good. The food looked beautiful as you can see from the pictures, but in most cases was not seasoned well. We ordered four appetizers and five entrees. All the food was ok, but nothing was a home run except the bass and clams my wife had. Pork chop and Cornish hen were underwhelming and the hen portions ridiculously small. My son asked if we could stop at the lazy dog for a chicken sandwich instead of having desert. My daughter also said she didn’t get enough food. I don’t know how they can recommend sharing when portions are so small and prices so high. Between the portion sizes and the underwhelming food just can’t recommend the restaurant

The Pheasant is our favorite restaurant on the Cape, the menu changes seasonally and has never disappointed. The highlights of this meal were the Potato Millefeuille,the Cornish hen and The Scallops which were in a word perfect. Service and ambience were superior as always

One of the best meals we’ve ever had. Absolutely lovely and such great service. The sharing concept worked wonderfully and is a great way to try everything. Love the local ingredients! Thank you!

Another exceptional dining experience at The Pheasant! I brought my chef husband for his birthday and we had such a nice time (he's hard to please!). The service was exceptional and the food was outstanding! It's hard to be impressed in January on Cape Cod but this restaurant delivers year round, and is especially warm and cozy this time of year! We had a late reservation and were one of the last tables but the staff continued to make us feel welcomed and appreciated. We will be back!

Delightful restaurant. Excellent menu and presentation, and all the staff were professional and lovely. Plates were well presented and had plenty of complex flavors. Favorite was the Bresaola paired with Focaccia.

WHAT A GEM! Drinks, dinner, service and ambiance were impeccable. We had wonderful conversation with the bartender, he offered thoughts on the cocktail program, suggestions for our meal and recommendations for other spots while on the Cape for a long weekend. FINALLY a place that understands that going out to dinner isn't just about the food (which was also AMAZING) but that ambiance and hospitality matter too. Oh, and don't even think about not ordering the CCB23 Crowes Pasture oysters - the smoothest oysters we've ever had! Thanks to the team at The Pheasant - we will be back!

We’re real foodies and Italian — food is a big deal to us. We travel often, eat out at great restaurants all the time, and have no problem paying a premium for a high-quality meal. But what we experienced at The Pheasant was beyond disappointing — it was honestly insulting. We spent over $700 for a meal that was flat-out inedible. That’s not an exaggeration. The food was disgusting, and I don’t say that lightly. The fish tasted fishy — not fresh at all. The pork chops were dry, bland, and just straight-up unpleasant. Not a single dish had any real flavor. Everything was under-seasoned and unbalanced. Even the drinks were a letdown — watery and just poorly made. The portions? Tiny. Like, laughably small. We left hungry, annoyed, and honestly shocked by how bad everything was. What makes it worse is that we come to Cape Cod every summer from New York, and we were excited to try this place because of the reviews. But it ended up being the worst meal we’ve ever had on the Cape — possibly ever, and that’s saying a lot. My entire family was furious. We were all looking forward to a beautiful dinner out together, and instead we got served overpriced, unappetizing food that felt like it came from a kitchen that just didn’t care. I never write harsh reviews, but I feel like people deserve to know what they’re walking into. This was not a bad night or an off dish — the entire experience was a complete flop. I truly feel like we were robbed. For the price they charge, the quality should be exceptional — instead, it was inedible and embarrassing. Save yourself the frustration, the money, and the disappointment.

An incredible meal with incredible service. The food was outstanding, especially the mushroom soup, scallops, and trout. Just a lovely and delicious meal. The ambience was so cozy and warm. The owner greeted us at our table and the staff was beyond accommodating of our young children. We’re craving another meal already and will put this on the top of our list for our next visit to Cape Cod. You must try this wonderful experience.

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.

We came to The Pheasant on a recommendation from a friend. The menu is refined and elegant; perfect for a classy dinner, yet casual enough to be accessible to the general public. We tasted pretty much everything on the menu, as our group size was five people. Everything from the smoked cabbage, to the agnolotti; and the steamers to the ganache was cooked, plated, and presented beautifully. Our waitress was attentive, but not over- bearing, and the sommelier was very knowledgeable. A true 10 out of 10 experience in every way

Wow!!! This by far has been the best meal on the cape. First of all the vibe is friendly as you are greeted by the owner. While waiting for your table you can sit outside with a cocktail and have some oysters. Or you can shop at their wine shop and have the owner (who is a sommelier) talk to you about what wine you might like. Lots of reasonable priced wines with a $10 corking fee. This is not your typical cape restaurant. Although it is in an old house setting with beautiful antiques, it has a modern approach to dining so you get wholesome, healthy choices that are delicious and good!!! They change the menu everyday to get the freshest ingredients available. The bartender concocts fun tasty drinks. Their offering are numerous. We had the crispy potatoes to start. Yup, crispy and loaded with flavor. We had a roasted beet salad that was so good I hope to have it again. It was so creamy and satisfying. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the pesto and sauce were so good. Roasted cabbage that was still crunchy loaded with seasoning was so different and delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly. Most restaurants do not cook chicken perfectly but the Peasant nailed it. Then we had the lemon pasta with clams that was so flavorful and fresh. This is a restaurant that you share plates for the table. It was amazing. I have to say that I am a vegetarian and usually have the choice of salad or French fries. Most restaurants on the cape have an older cuisine menu. Finally a restaurant that I enjoyed and so did my non-vegetarian family members. Treat yourself to the Pheasant. You will not be disappointed.

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.

Im not sure what is going on at the Pheasant.... new chef?? Last summer this restaurant quickly became one of my husband and my favorite restaurants... bread & butter both made from scratch, amazing homemade pasta's from Wellfleet, every dish was delicious and creative, and the bar tender, Sam, made the BEST cocktails!!! So my husband surprised me and took myself and our 3 adult sons here for mother's day dinner last night. What a disappointment!!! Gone are the fabulous homemade bread & butter appetizer .... And Im very sorry to report that not one of our 5 main dishes was very good. The pasta was very undercooked and tasted awful compared to what they use to serve, and the Cornish hen was the tiniest piece of chicken I've ever seen . Very disappointing for a $600 meal!!!! Not to mention our favorite bar tender, Sam, is no longer there which is very odd as well!! $20/cocktail is a steep price for what is now a very average tasting cocktail! Very bummed about these changes.

I was disappointed with the lack of vegetarian options. There was no vegetarian entree. Because the menu changes frequently, you can't find a current menu. I read on their site that they accommodate vegans and vegetarians so I thought they could offer more than what we saw on the menu... the waitress could only offer, we had a vegetarian option last season. We were only able to order 3 things (didn't want bread and pickles which were the other two options). Salad, potatoes with romesco (delicious!) and mushrooms. All were good but yeah, disappointing. I feel more thought should be put into how some of the meat dishes can be altered to offer more variety on the menu or post the current menu online in advance so I can avoid the disappointment (and reservation cancellation fee).

This place is top tier. Everything is done at a high level. The food is outstanding, the wines are beautiful, and the people taking care of guests make the experience even better. The vibe is relaxed in this 250 year old farmhouse and it's a phenomenal place to enjoy a special evening to the fullest. Make sure to check out the Dunn & Sons Wine Shop too. You're welcome.

@pheasantcapecod . . Funny how we almost skipped this place while we were doing some research for dinner ideas. It didn't have as much reviews as some other places but somehow the name really caught my attention... After reading further, we decided to give it a shot. . Boy oh boy, I would be so disappointed had we not come here. It was mindblowing from beginning to end... . Here is what we ordered BREAD & BUTTER - thick sourdough, soft butter, flakey sea CHIPS & FISH DIP - smoked brandade. za'atar relish, corn chips CRISPY POTATOES citrus zest smokey romesco CHARRED CABBAGE - meyer lemon tonnato, furikake BRICK CHICKEN - Local half chicken from Hillside Farms (Truro, MA), fried potatoes, pickled red onions, salsa verde CLAM PASTA - fresh rigatoni, local clams, lemon butter, breadcrumbs SWEET CORN CAKE - apricot jam, honey butter, candied pecans RhUBARB CRUMBLE - sesame ice cream, rhubarb jam, toasted oat crumble . The prices are very reasonable for the quality you get at @pheasantcapecod - if only we had a larger party, we would have loved to tried everything on the menu - I'm not even joking... . The meal was delicious from beginning to end. This is a 5/5 or 10/10 for me... I would definitely go back if I ever revisit Cape Cod and highly recommend anyone who visits/lives in Cape Cod... . Their menus are seasonal so they are subject to change..

Decided to visit The Pheasant after some time on the beach. Online bookings were completely sold out but we arrived at the establishment at 4:58pm right before they would open for dinner which allowed us to be seated without the reservation. The Pheasant has a very cozy interior and exterior with unique additional experiences like a small wine stock where patrons can purchase wine as well as an outdoor bar with picnic style seating where patrons can enjoy drinks like a frosé! Upon opening we were seated immediately and our server Abby gave us the full menu rundown as first timers. We didn't plan to eat heavy due to our travels back to Boston but loved that the menu items were locally sourced. We started with the Bread and butter, which was fantastic and perfectly toasted. The sourdough wasn't as thick as described on the menu but still really good. Then we ordered the Seared dayboat scallops. I enjoyed the scallops, they were fresh and seared perfectly. The almond in the kale almond pesto was a bit overwhelming, I loved the kale but it mostly tasted like almond. The beet butter was good and I did enjoy it alone. Lastly we ordered the Flank steak which was cooked well with versatile flavors. The farro and mushrooms complimented the steak. I enjoyed all the dishes my only complaint is the balance felt a little off with each of them, too much of something and too little of something else. For drinks we ordered the Bees knees and Kingston Negroni. Both were well made cocktails. The service was amazing, no complaints at all as we felt well taken care of.

We absolutely loved The Pheasant. We sat inside, which was wonderful but the outdoor seating looked just as nice. The staff was very friendly, and knowledgeable. If you're on the mid cape we highly recommend The Pheasant.

A lovely time. I brought my wife and my son's family here for dinner during a day trip to the cape. Seating is outdoor and you can order at the counter or via online. Their chef has created an eclectic grouping of dishes, all of which were delicious. We started with a dozen oysters, freshly brought up from a couple of miles up the road. As good as oysters get. Perfect size, sweet and briny. Our entrees ranged from fish tacos to sea bass to duck. Smiles from everyone at the first bite. Their small wine list was interesting. It simply listed "pinot noir", no information beyond that. When I enquired I found out that it was the particular choice of the chef and came from a small CA winery run by a friend of his friend. I hadn't ever heard of it, ordered it, and it was spot on. Perfect with the food. We added a decadent dessert waffle for the table to split. Perfect amount of dolci to cap off the meal. Oh, and they sealed the remaining wine in a plastic container so it was nice and legal for transport back home. Definitely a standout.

There are a lot of places that claim to be seasonal and offer creative dishes. Few deliver the way the pheasant does. They have a cozy environment which is great for an occasion or just celebrating the weekend. Great wine list and good options. Local secret.

Last summer - 5 stars. This summer - maybe 2? We ate here last summer and it was AMAZING. My husband couldn't stop talking about the brick chicken, scallops, or crispy potatoes - and recommended it highly at that time to friends and family vacationing in the area. We were excited to return this year - however had a relatively sour experience. We ordered the brick chicken again and it was served raw in the middle. We brought it to the attention of our waitress, who appropriately took it away and informed the kitchen. What followed was just awkward - we were told the chicken would be taken off the bill, but unless we wanted to order another entree, they would just finish cooking the original chicken (which at this point we'd already cut into before realizing it was raw)- a far cry from the amazing chicken we'd been looking forward to from our prior experience. We ended up ordering the pork - it was fine, but the whole interaction (although our waitress was lovely, she was the messenger for management who never showed their face) put a damper on our night out. I completely understand the need to make ends meet in today's business world, but the complete lack of acknowledgment of being served raw chicken is not the kind of experience I'd hope for. I guess one more shot to see if we got lucky on our first trip with an amazing meal?

We ate here recently when they reopened this May 2023. While the food was good, the serving and pricing policies here are absurd. Highest on the list of grievances was that we ordered a chacuterie plate for a starter, and they served it WITHOUT bread. Upon asking for bread, they said it was an ADDITIONAL charge. (Consider ourselves lucky that they didn't charge extra for the butter!) That set the tone for the entire experience - a vodka martini was served in a very small champagne coupe, the servings (three courses) were minimalist, and they tell you (when presenting the bill ) that they have added a 22% mandatory service charge. (on every bill, including the bar tab.) Good food. Nice atmosphere. Silly prices. Sillier policies.

Great spot in Dennis. We came with our young toddler and the restaurant was accommodating to kids while feeling like a proper date night out. We started with the bread and butter which was delicious and got the scallops and mushrooms. All were very good, fresh, and flavorful. We then shared the clam pasta and loved that too. Wish we had room for dessert. We got a couple cocktails but loved the concept of being able to see the wine bottles in the store as well. Next time we come back, we'll get a bottle!

I had high expectations from everyone's praises. Maybe too high, not sure. Appetizer oysters are not bad but was disappointed in the clam pasta. Maybe I just didn't like the way it was cooked. Everyone mentioned how great it was so I was extremely excited about it. Mine felt like it sat under the heater for a bit before serving since it was dry on top. Ended up stirring it and realized all the cream was on the bottom. Would recommend the restauant to others but personally, probably wouldn't head back.

I was very disappointed in the current menu. We've been many times over the years and this has always been one of our favorite places to come to but the food had really gone downhill. I was surprised by how limited the cocktail and dinner menu was - my cocktail was punishingly hot - large chunks of chili flakes around the rim is overkill, isn't it? The mussels toast dish - also very hot with no warning - but it was the consistent sand that killed us on that one. The red sauce clam pasta tasted really off. The entire experience was such a buzzkill and just made us feel sad. We did love the scallop crudo - and while it's a bummer to get sat by a wall when there are many good open seats, the ambiance in general was still good. The place is always beautiful. But we'll think twice about coming again before checking the menu.

OMG! The BEST meal we have ever had. The Pheasant is not a restaurant; it's a dining experience. I was really really glad we listened to our amazing waitress and ordered a few appetizers and an entree to share. I wish I took pictures but we were soooo blown away by the food we didn't even think about that. I'd drive back up to The Pheasant in a heartbeat to eat here again. Bonus points for some creative and delish cocktails!

Delightful winter Japanese Izakaya pop up for our honeymoon weekend highlight dinner! Service was superb and each dish had a lovely flavor profile. Loved the shiitake mushroom crab appetizer bombs and scallop nigiri small plate with cranberry topping. Leave the chicken bap buns or ask for more BBQ sauce on the side - the buns were too dense for the spices to come through. Definitely check out the wine shop curated by the chef and restaurant sommelier! One of the cocktails was not to our taste, and the server immediately struck it from our bill and brought a delicious replacement!

My husband and I went for a date night last night and it was far and away the best meal we have had on the Cape. I was very familiar with the Red Pheasant so when my husband recommended "The Pheasant" I was intrigued by the new name and "pop-up menu". We arrived to the cozy 18th-century house and were seated near the inviting wood-burning fire. Our server, Katie, was attentive and knowledgeable and made great recommendations on the cocktails and menu, but when we asked her about the wine, she humbly deferred to the level 3 sommelier and co-owner, Alex. That's when we noticed the wine shop in the restaurant. WHAT!?!? Amazing. We hopped up from our table and selected a bottle of wine to enjoy with our dinner and one to take home. The bottles of wine were unique, complimented the food, and didn't come with the normal mark-up of ordering a bottle at a restaurant. We ordered the ramen, temaki handroll, chicken bao buns, fish katzu, and tuna nigiri. It was all delicious. We also ordered the yuzu highball and pandan negroni; they are two of the best cocktails we have had in a while. Overall, the experience here was great. They are opened until Valentine's Day and then will reopen in June. We cannot wait to return.

Thanks to a wonderful experience on our 24th wedding anniversary, The Pheasant has become our new choice for special occasion dining on the Cape. We were immediately impressed with the old house vibe, but found the indoor dining area spacious and airy. We had tasty and imaginative tequila and bourbon cocktails and were offered a complimentary taste of a Basque wine that we ended up ordering with dinner. Rather than sharing small plates as a meal, we went old school and split a half dozen oysters and some delicious bread before our entrees arrived. My wife had the Brick Chicken, perfectly seasoned and cooked with a side of potatoes that elevated the meal from comfort food to something extraordinary. I had the Clam Pasta, with homemade rigatoni instead of the typical linguine and delicious local whole clams in an understated lemon butter sauce. While we barely had room for dessert, we had to split the Sweet Corn Cake, which was superb. Service was on point - attentive without being intrusive. We'd like to make a special mention of our friends at Tandem Coffee Roasters from Portland, ME, whose spectacular coffee is featured. We'll be back, and it couldn't be too soon.

Food was very good but VERY limited menu. Also a couple of negatives - $7 for bread and butter and the only Chardonnay by the glass was $21 a glass. 22% gratuity added mandatorily regardless of service. Overall there are better choices so I probably won't be back

Just finished a once-in-a-lifetime meal. Months ago, we made a reservation, hoping this would be a tasty treat during our vacation on the Cape. After 2+ glorious hours spent at The Pheasant, I'm pretty sure it'll go down as the highlight of the whole trip. We arrived a bit early and enjoyed frosé and wine at the outdoor bar/picnic area. The bartenders were fun and joyful and helped us start the night on a high note. A charming hostess seated us at a comfortable table with lots of room (we were 5 adults + a baby), and we met our very attentive, engaging, and thoughtful server. He gave us some great recs and was extremely helpful navigating the menu for my husband (celiac disease). The shareable plates started coming out soon after we ordered, and it was truly out of this world! Each bite was surprising and delightful, from beef jerky to crispy potatoes to steak with farro to mushrooms with curried rice. And then there was dessert! All spectacular but please do not leave without ordering the corn cake. I know it sounds plain, but seriously, it was a borderline religious experience. And while the food blew our minds, the service was somehow even better. Such kindness and attention to detail from everyone on the staff. We had a wonderful night, and we will absolutely be back.

A superb restaurant situated in Dennisport that made an excellent end to our weekend down the Cape. While celebrating my Aunts birthday down in Mashpee, we made reservations here for that Sunday night. I have heard so many great things about this place from a friend so I made sure to make reservations a month in advance. They open at 5pm and have a cute outside called the Shed to hang out, order drinks and snacks while waiting for your table. It was reallly hot out, but we decided to check it out beforehand. Once our table was ready we headed in and observed the interior. It was very well decorated, clean, and had that "farm to table"kind of vibe. Their menu is sourced from local farmers & friends. We sat down and Abby was our server who was exceptional from the start. She was super bubbly and personal and had a lot of spunk. She was very knowledgeable as well. I started off with a nice glass of Gruner Veltliner and my hubby ordered a Czech Pilsner. We were starving so we ordered the House Pickles. I thought they were going to be fried but they were pickled instead. Still very good and definitely healthier. We then ordered the Crispy Potatoes, amazing! For our entrees, I had the Roasted Fish (Bass) and my husband had the Brick Chicken and we shared the Bread & Butter (our favorite). Honestly, I didn't care for the Roasted Fish. It was in a broth with a lot of beans, cucumbers, and broth which overpowered the fish. Fish is delicate and should be served that way. The Chicken was phenomenal, extremely fresh, crispy and flavorful. For dessert we had the Sweet Corn Cake with an Anejo Tequila. They complimented each other very well. I didn't think it was all that expensive after everything we ordered which is nice to see once in awhile. We both loved it here and I enjoyed perusing their Live Wine List in the backroom. We will definitely be back for sure. Maybe in the fall season. A must place to dine while you are staying in the area or if you want to make the drive, it is well worth it! Cheers!

My favorite meal on the cape this year! Love the atmosphere/vibe of this place. Inside is rustic and so pretty. The food was amazing! Share plates and keep ordering, everything is so good! The cocktails are unique and delicious as well. Service is helpful in ordering size and quantities and very friendly. We will definitely be back here when on the Cape!

I'm coming back in for a new review after leaving a bad review a few years ago. Perhaps this Japanese pop up is what The Pheasant needed. It's still the same inside, but the food is Japanese tapas. Something the Cape is in desperate need of - quality tapas and great Japanese food. The menu isn't sushi, mind you. It's a small selection of tapas, small plates and a few large plates. We shared a few of the small plates and moved on to sharing the large plates as well. All of which were delicious. I think the only one I wouldn't recommend was the yellowtail tuna large plate. It was just a bit bland and hard to manage with the tail and bones. Still tasty, just not my first choice over the fried chicken special and definitely the wagyu steak. I could have blown through each of the tapas and small plates as well. The cocktails are really good. They have a great selection of craft cocktails (see photo), beer, wine by the glass, and sake. Our server was wonderful as well. Definitely ask questions when in doubt. Here's my only "buts." The place is freezing early on. That brought back memories of the old Pheasant. The restrooms were like a freezer too. It takes a while for the place to warm up, so dress appropriately. The wine situation was weird too. They have a short wine list, but then they encourage you to go back to this weird area where there is an extended wine selection. You can buy a bottle there and for a $10 corking fee. Finally, the stupid Toast thing. You just sign the bill and have no idea what you just signed and don't get a receipt. I despise Toast I definitely recommend hitting The Pheasant before the Japanese pop up goes away in February.

Had a very disappointing meal. While the service was good the food did not meet expectations. Presumptuous to charge for bread and butter, thinking it is a special appetizer. I could not detect a clam in the Clam Pasta, the salad was badly overdressed. Skate as a special Fish of the day was a stretch. Would not go back.

I tried the Pheasant's "At Home" Japanese Winter Dinner last night and had such a great experience enjoying a delicious unique meal from the comfort of my own home. The Pheasant is offering 4-course meals this winter inspired by a variety of cuisines: Indian, Japanese, Mexican, and Middle Eastern. Check out their website to reserve your meal at several different convenient locations in addition to their restaurant! When I pulled up to The Pheasant, I was immediately sad it wasn't summer and I could dine outdoors in their beautiful space. I'm not dining indoors during the pandemic so take out is my go to but I was craving a nicer meal to celebrate an anniversary. The Pheasant was the perfect solution - a go to meal that I warmed up at home using their detailed instructions and enjoyed fresh. The Japanese meal started out with curried chicken onigiri and a side salad of pickled cucumber and radish - pickled vegetables are always a plus in my book! The next course was a sesame bbq glazed eggplant, which I wasn't a huge fan of. It was difficult to get that charred exterior I was hoping for by reheating it in my oven. The main course was a miso udon dish with shoyu braised pork, which heated up well on the stove, and was so tender and flaky. Last but not least, for dessert we had matcha cookies half dipped in chocolate - these were the perfect balance of sweet and salty. We'd buy those matcha cookies again in a heartbeat! The meal was meant for 2 but had HUGE portions - we're going to be re-eating this meal for dinner tonight too. TDLR - check out The Pheasant's winter dinner series for a delicious lavish meal from the comfort of your own home!

Went for dinner recently after not having gone here since it was the Red Pheasant maybe 20 years ago. Great experience. Service was phenomenal. The bread is amazing and the clam pasta was perfect. Can't wait to go back.

Delicious Dinner! We came to The Pheasant for dinner in early September and were pleasantly surprised to see that they fully converted to managing Covid. There is a window where you order and then you can go sit at the picnic-style tables that have both heat lamps and citronella candles to get your food delivered. They were very friendly and made recommendations on what we might like and only a few minutes after ordering was our food ready. We ordered the Thai Braised Beef, the Mezze Platter, and the Cape Cod Ceviche. The Thai Braised beef was the best, as the meat was tender and had great flavor. Then came the Mezze platter which was good but not the best mezze platter I've had. Lastly, the ceviche which was on the sweeter side which I was not expecting. If you like sweet ceviche (sweetened with pieces of grapefruit), then you would love it. There were big chunks of fish which I appreciated! There were so many things I wanted to try on the menu so we will definitely be back!

Two of us had dinner at The Pheasant last night outside at one of their picnic tables. Warm, friendly, super informative staff. Everyone we encountered from beginning to end was wonderful. Great cocktails, killer oysters, bread and butter not to be missed, amazing beets, brilliant salad, melt-in-your-mouth, super piggy prosciutto, and a peach crumble with ice cream to die for. Very chill, very comfortable, very much appreciated.

So thankful for the creativity in food, cocktails and ambience at The Pheasant. Our kids loved it and adults can relax while enjoying a delicious meal and drinks. The fire pit and cafe lights really make for a lovely ambience. We absolutely loved the lobster hand roll - ordered it twice. Every dish was creative and super fresh. The staff was very welcoming and their COVID protocol made us feel very much at ease. One of the owners - Erica - was fully engaged with the customers and ensuring we all had a great time. Highly recommend this beautiful space for delicious meals. They'll work with you for picky kids.

We were seated at the bar . The food was great , my cosmo was served in a coupe champagne glass . Overall the experience was ok but they are adding 22 % ( not 18 ) service fee to every check . We were not told when check was presented . I started looking at the check then the bartender came and told me . I wish they tipping policy is posted somewhere so customers are aware of it . When we were at the restaurant in 2019 the menu, the concept was totally different and we loved it . Unfortunately , we wont be back .

We loved the Pheasant! They're still doing outdoor only but they've mostly figured it out. I have some critiques but only for the owners to make adjustments to. The ambiance was lovely. It is still all outdoors, but they have 3 separate outdoor sections to choose from. There is a fire in one of the areas. They have string lights up too. When you get there, you have to wait in line to order, pay, then sit and wait for your food. The food and drinks are all served in to go containers. I'm not sure if this is how it is supposed to work or if our waiter was just nice, but we asked him for another round and he was able to just add it on to the purchase. We didn't have to give back our card or anything. Otherwise, we would have had to wait on line. If this is how it is supposed to work, I think there should be a sign, or the waiter should tell you. If we didn't think to simply ask, we would've had yo stand on line for another round. Cocktails - painkiller, best painkiller on the cape. -raspberry vodka lemonade wasn't too sweet nor too raspberryy. A perfect blend. - spicy Margarita was delicious! The food was remarkable. - Oysters from crows pasture were perfection. Well balanced brine. - The local scallop ceviche was exquisite. - CRISPY LOBSTER ONIGIRI is a must! They were crisp, and mouth watering. There are two to an order, and each person will want two. The flavor was out of this world. - Mediterranean mezze was nice. The Eggplant Muhamarrah was my favorite part, but overall, the plate was classic. - Dan Dan duck, is my friends favorite part of this menu. He says it's consistently delicious. The duck is perfectly done, and he literally dreams about it. - lemon olive oil cod, boring and don't actually recommend. Least favorite item we ordered. Just bland. - too full for dessert with 4 of us and that order. I'm not sure why food still needs to go in to go containers. I think it does lower the experience a bit but not enough to give it 4 stars. It feels like a waste of paper goods/compostable goods. I'm sure something somewhere said it was a COVID precaution, but that logic doesn't even make since anymore. We thought maybe it was due to being short staffed on the dishwashing end? Maybe if this is the case and you're going to continue to operate like this, you should offer a free round of drinks, or discounted something. We've ate here when it isn't COVID so we know what it's like before. I do urge the owners to kindly reassess. We will be back! Thank you!!

What an amazing dining experience! Our party of 6 ordered many of the dishes on the menu to share. Each dish was delicious and creative...we all agreed it was easily the best meal we had during the week we stayed in the area. I'm still thinking about the brick chicken. Sharing all the dishes was so much fun, especially because each dish comes to the table as soon as it's finished. They do offer to serve your meal the traditional way if sharing isn't your thing. The cocktails were innovative (get the lavender bees knees) and the servers were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the food. We ended with a few desserts that were...no surprise...outstanding. Next time we visit, The Pheasant will be our first stop.

Visited this place after a friends recommendation. Being from Napa, California I like to think I can recognize good cuisine. The food hits the mark! The plates are meant to be shared so this adds to the overall fun experience! Erica and Adam do everything possible to ensure your experience is memorable. Our server was super knowledgeable about how they source the food and ingredients. She was also a very knowledgeable fisher person! After multiple courses - I must say the mushrooms were my favorite. Everyone at the table had their favorites too. The Pheasant offers a fun selection of wines... check out the wine room. If you're looking for great food, excellent service and a beautiful ambience - try The Pheasant. Reservations are recommended!

Was really looking forward to eating here, as we love farm to table and thought it was really cute. Oh man was I wrong. First, the service was absolutely horrendous. Waiter's name was Will and he started off strong by bringing the wrong beer for two of us and then proceeding to argue about it with us for five minutes until his manager came out. Manager fixed the problem, but the waiter proceeded to leave us for 35 minutes before stopping by to see if we wanted appetizers. So we ordered appetizers and meals, as we weren't sure how long it would be until he came again. He then proceeded to shove the payment machine in our face 10 minutes after we got our food, while we were still eating, and then never coming back to the table. Next, the food. Two of us ordered this bass and bean stew thing. The bass on top was legitimately flavorless but at least edible. However, I think they may have used fish stock as the base for the beans, as it was absolutely inedible because of how fishy it smelled and tasted. Our last person got a mushroom curry, in which the mushrooms were okay but the rice was literally uncooked. So he sent it back and they brought him another bowl that they clearly had just had waiting around back there, as it was Luke-warm at best. Overall, I absolutely don't recommend it. Unfortunate as it is a very nice looking place.

I'm giving this place the heel benefit of the doubt as it is very apprarent they are doing their best with COVID. Found it on yelp and despite the negative reviews (all seemed to be COVID related)- the one underlying theme is the food is good. It is. Would suggest finding a restroom first- they have a porta potty outside . Again, I get it with COVID- but this is the first restaurant we have been to with outside seating that had a porta potty. Assuming that it is u feasible otherwise to use restroom, but this was our first time here... Outdoor seating is at picnic tables. I only gave 4 stars as I was extraordinarily disappointed with the cocktails. An 8 ounce plastic vip 3/4 full of ice and the drink barely made it to the ice mark? For $13? Drink was really good but gone in 6 sips. Again I understand their bartender pre makes the cocktails daily - because of Covid. Food was really good .. pricey but you get what you pay for with farm to table. Struggled with the kid options .. wish they had more variety there. We will defiantly try it again once things settle down and we find normal again.

This was our very first visit to The Pheasant, and we were so impressed start to finish! The smell of the wood stove as we approached the adorable farm house immediately scored ambience points for us. The dining room is so cute and quaint. We were warmly welcomed by the host, who I believe may have been Erica (one of the owners) who guided us over to the Living Wine List - such an awesome addition to the experience. We loved picking out our wine for the night and meeting the other owner, Adam, in the process, who was very nice and shared his story of opening the restaurant when he brought the wine to our table. Now let's get to the food...5 STARS! From the incredible seared day boat scallops and fresh fall salad to the succulent brick chicken and flavorful mushroom & curry rice (our personal favorite!), we loved everything! Save room for the Sweet Corn Cake too -- to die for! Outstanding food aside, you can just tell that the owners and servers alike really care about providing a positive experience for the guest. We were impressed and can't wait to go back!

We were unable to order ahead for takeout and so glad that happened. We sat outside at a picnic table with umbrella, with pretty lights and a propane heater. Our dog got to sit with us. The food was out of this world. Full of flavor. Just right spice. Beautiful presentation. Staff was friendly. Very low key, mellow atmosphere. Just what we needed tonight celebrating 10 years married. Thank you!
