One of our best dinners on the Cape! We are Californians and not used to massive MA plates of food so we were very content to share all of these nicely portioned smaller dishes. The rich potato millefeuille was delectable and was complimented by the vinegary bite of the watermelon gazpacho we also ordered. The seared mushrooms and giant beans were a hearty, beautifully seasoned intro to Fall that paired well with a French Pinot. The poussin was crisp and tasty. It did take over an hour and a half to get our dishes, which was a bit delayed compared to diners around us, so we ran out of steam for dessert but overall it was lovely.

By far the best restaurant in the entire state! Everything is thoughtful and just simply... good - the produce that tastes of the earth and sea, the seasoning that brings out natural flavors instead of drowning out the senses, the drinks that are innovative without being pretentious, and the staff who are charming, professional but warm. I kept waiting for a shoe to drop and it never did. So glad to have found this spot.

Truly incredible spot. The quality of the food and thought that goes into each dish is amazing. They were accommodating to our dietary restrictions and knowledgeable. Loved every bite!

So fantastic!! Easily one of our new favorite restaurants (ever!). Our server was sweet and knowledgeable! We had the Scallops, Pasta and Pork Chop. Everything was amazing!!
We went to Baleine after for dessert cocktails and had a wonderful time there too! We will be back to (both!) places next time we visit the Cape.

The Pheasant is hands down one of the best restaurants on the Cape. From the seasonal menu and drink pairings to the sultry decor and well informed attentive service, I love coming here. It is truly a treat to dine here.
Last night me and my mother sat on the patio to take in the last of the summer evenings dining al fresco. This was our first time on the patio, which was a beautiful setting.
I removed one star due to the patio being a playground for toddlers, while the parents sat back and let their kids run wild. I even heard one of the parents complaint about cars driving in the parking lot where their kids kept running. While I understand the restaurant can’t entirely control guest behavior, you can control what is acceptable in shared spaces.
At a high-end restaurant, guests expect an atmosphere of refinement and most importantly relaxation. When toddlers are allowed to run around a patio unsupervised, the environment quickly shifts from elegant to chaotic. Not only is it disruptive and distracting to those paying for a fine dining experience, but it also creates safety hazards for staff carrying trays and hot dishes. Children deserve to be included in shared spaces, but letting them turn a restaurant patio into a playground is inconsiderate to other diners and unfair to the staff. It’s inappropriate and, frankly, obnoxious in a setting designed for adults to savor a meal in peace.
I hope you can reconsider how you handle toddlers running around the patio. I was looking forward to a relaxing night dining al fresco, and while the service and food was phenomenal, the toddlers and their checked out parents created a chaotic environment putting the safety of the children and servers at risk.

We had a delicious meal, with flavours as fresh as promised. For two people, we had two each of the starters, first courses and main courses and share each, plus one dessert between us. We felt that was plenty (since some reviewers complained about small portions) without overeating , and a great flavour journey. The watermelon gazpacho is a tangy appetizer to wet the taste buds, the salad with cream of goat cheese was actually a revelation, the lamb chops were scrumptious and the mafalde (homemade pasta) simple but outstanding. The shared dessert was a deconstructed strawberry shortcake, just perfect for someone who doesn’t like super sweet desserts. The restaurant is cozy and relaxed, the sommelier helped pick suitable wines (after something we picked turned out to be not so great with our meal). We’ll be back!

The Pheasant is charming, great atmosphere. A little noisy. We had the lamb chops and they were presented well and so delicious. The owners are present and take enormous pride in their restaurant. So happy to see it so busy! Congrats Erica & Adam! Paula & Lou

Got 6 oysters w some kind of sour vinaigrette. Got the scallops 6 of them w a few green beans. Portions are small. My husband liked his lamb chops. Halibut was plain. No sauce. Nice atmosphere. Was noisy cause lots of children. Was expensive. A glass of chard was 18.00

A lot of people are saying this is the best restaurant on the Cape. I agree but I would take it a step further - it is one of the best restaurants anywhere, full stop. Better than most restaurants I’ve been to in Miami, NY, Boston, etc. The rotating menu every few weeks and their partnership with the best local vendors (CBI Farm, Ack Gioia, etc) makes for the freshest most delicious ingredients. Whatever form they are serving burrata in is a must have- earlier in the season it was peach burrata salad, now it is burrata with chimichurri. Amazing. The poussin is my favorite entree. I would recommend ordering several plates and sharing so you can try as much as possible. They also have a fabulous wine selection. Very cozy setting - love going in the off season as well. My favorite!
Drinks and service great. Burrata came on plate of oil, no bread. Mushrooms were too oily. Pork chop and pasta dishes delicious. Olive oil cake disappointing.

Food and service were excellent, but it was VERY busy and pretty loud. We had an 8:00 reservation and arrived at 7:50. Had to wait 30 minutes for our table (while others got seated ahead of us). They comped a round, but the entire operation feels a bit hectic for the space.

This is honestly the best restaurant on Cape Cod. The food is locally sourced and expertly prepared, and I haven’t had a meal there that didn’t blow me away. The setup is charming and homey, with a nice mix of antiques and moderns touches. The owners are very present, but they have trained their staff beautifully, and it’s clear that everyone is invested in doing a great job. The cocktails are special and creative without doing too much, and again, the menu offerings are as delicious as it gets. I can’t say enough wonderful things about The Pheasant.
