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!!
