“My husband and I wanted to try this place because of their GF offerings. I ordered the GF blueberry coconut French toast and it was delicious!! The only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because the server could have been more attentive. He never refilled our coffees or came to check in on us. We also had to wait a while for the check. I would understand that if it were busy but we went on a weekday morning and it was slower than usual I assume, based on the empty tables and ample parking. We will definitely try this place again. I just hope the service is better next time.“

“We had dinner at The Pheasant, the service was warm and professional, the surroundings were intriguing and welcoming and the food….. the food was thoughtful, creative, and downright delicious. It’s the kind of meal where you talk about the taste, keep sharing bites and keep eating long past when you are satiated because it just tastes and feels so good. So many places fall down on the wine list and pairing knowledge, this is not the case at The Pheasant. Texture, taste, ingredients, presentation, wine pairings, all were spot on! Can’t wait to dine there again. Just do yourself a favor and dine there as well!“

“My family went to The Breakfast Room yesterday and had an amazing experience! We were greeted by such a kind host. Despite how busy it was, they were patient and we were seated fairly quickly. Our waitress was phenomenal, we did not feel rushed to order, but when we finally decided what to order from their huge and enticing menu, the food came out so fast! It was hot and delicious. When we went to pay our bill, there was a bit of a line but the cashier was efficient and delightful. One thing that really stood out was how kind and patient all of the staff were, especially when there were some very impatient and quite honestly, rude, customers. They always had smiles on their faces, and treated us so well. We will definitely be back!“

“Very good and very busy. Service was great, and food was top-notch. Our waitress was spot on, even with the business and heat of the day. The only thing keeping this review at a 4-star was the portion difference in the same meal. Both my son and I order the fish and chips. He ended up with what seemed like a whole fish on his plate while I was given a minnow. We laughed about it, but it was quite the difference. Our fish and chips were cooked perfectly, nice and moist. My other son had a burger that he ordered medium rare. It was perfectly cooked and delicious, he said. Pricy, but as I have learned in my first Cape visit, this is the norm. Will definitely be back on my next visit to the area.

Kid-friendliness: No kid menu that I saw, but friendly options from a burger to chicken parm to a steak and cheese.“

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and service. Definitely will drop in again.“
