If you want food, you have to time it right. We got there on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm, knowing that they closed at 2. Meals were not available at that time, nor were cocktails. The only food available was snacks and pastries in a display on the counter, and most of these were already gone as well. Wine was still available in 3oz. and 5oz. pours, and we found a couple that we really enjoyed. We received fantastic service at the counter, and we were checked on several times while we were seated (we were lucky enough to get the plush chairs by the window). Their full wine list is extensive and interesting. Depending on from what direction you approach, navigation might give you a very scenic route along the circular "road." Parking is spread out in that area, and one-way arrows exist, but not enough of them.

From the moment we arrived, the hostess was warm, friendly, and welcoming. Our server, Jessica, was exceptional--she described the menu with such knowledge and enthusiasm that every entrée sounded irresistible. We were a party of four, and everyone absolutely loved the dinner they chose. The food was outstanding--thoughtfully prepared, beautifully elevated, and memorable in every way. My wife and I have had the privilege of dining at many Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, and The Pheasant easily ranks among those exceptional experiences. During our two-week stay, we enjoyed meals at many restaurants across the Cape, but none compared to The Pheasant. The menu is inspired, the dishes are refined, and the entire experience was exceptional. It has unquestionably earned a place on our "must return to" list whenever we are back on Cape Cod.

By the time my dish came out, my whole party was done eating .. it was a total bummer as I was hungry and my party was left waiting for me. Nothing was done about this either. Food - My MIL had the poke bowl (yummy! I tried a little), I had the chicken bowl (very good!) Dessert - Pistachio cake (average, I would skip it) Drinks - loved that they could make the espresso martini decaf! Decor - loved the set up and the place is spacious! Will certainly be back!

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. It is a nice old house and has nice ambiance.

It started out great, 4:45 reservation, sat down, ordered, food took a little longer to arrive then expected, but whatever. It's Wednesday. Then it got busy. A large group of people at the front door waiting for a table. Our server wanted to turn our table and wanted us GONE ASAP. She started clearing our plates when we were not even done. Threw away the mussels I set aside for my sister on a side plate because she thought they were just shells. Threw away my son's chicken tenders that I wanted to wrap up for him. $725 tab for an awful, rushed experience. Happy birthday to me! A little kindness goes a long way. I asked if I could get 3 mussels to go for my sister, the mussels that I ordered and paid for that she threw away, and she said no. I would have to order another order and that wasn't possible. I almost did, but judging by how long the food took to come, I just couldn't wait for it. Never again. Also, no soap in the women's bathroom on both sides. A birthday dinner out with family should be special. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. It certainly won't be special here.

We ordered the French onion soup and the doggie dip sandwiches one with onion rings and the other with tater tots. The French onion soup arrived and it looked very good. Nicely melted cheese over flowing a little over the crock. The broth had a great deep beef flavor with plenty of seasoning. There were tons of nicely chopped onions and a couple of croutons as well. Probably lay the best I've had in a long time. The doggie dip sandwiches arrived a little time later. These sandwiches were made with thinly sliced roast beef between a grilled garlic roll. The sandwiches were thick and the garlic bread added a nice touch. A bowl of au jus was also included for dipping. The au jus was very salty so don't salt your sandwich as you won't need it. The tater tots and onion rings on both plates were piping hot right out of the fryer. Both were very crispy and very good. All in all one of the best visits to the restaurant and we will be going back. Seating is a combination of booths and table seating and our server was very helpful and attentive.

I had the clam chowder and wings. I would say the wings were VERY saucy, but still very good. Also, the clam chowder was good! Our server was super nice and friendly, everything was timely and tasted good! It was great vibe in Lost Dog, like a nice local pub to come to where you feel like family!

We chose Fin for a birthday dinner, and it absolutely did not disappoint! The evening started with…read moreoutstanding cocktails--the Perfect Pear Martini was ice-cold, refreshing, and delicious, while the Manhattan was expertly crafted and perfectly balanced. 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. Our waitress seemed a little reserved at first but quickly warmed up and became attentive and engaging throughout the evening. Dinner for two, including tip, came in just under $200, putting it on the higher end of the price range, but the quality of the food, cocktails, and atmosphere made it well worth it. We will be back to try the oyster stew.

Entered to see basically dated everything, carpeting cared for like it was older than the combined age of my family, and the ambiance of a live performer sounding like a bag of cats. Seated promptly 20-30 minutes after our reservation. The waiter literally could not answer a single question about the menu. When challenged with what dressing is on the beet salad the waiter replied that it was a... beet salad. Tried the house salad, beet salad and a special buratta salad. House salad was one bite and done. Couldn't ID the dressing but tasted maybe like it has mustard, pine nuts and basil. Was weird and gross. One bite and done. The buretta salad featured a single slice of tomato and some prosciutto. Was advertised with roasted peppers that were no where to be found. Only one person had the beet salad and featured the same weird green dressing. Two of our party have seafood allergies. We couldn't get answer from the waiter on cross contamination so literally gave multiple entree options for them to work with and the entree selection ended up a surprise. Ordered a variety of entrees. Chicken parm was not eaten, a pizza had one slice consumed, a special salad concoction for a seafood allergy was not enjoyed, I had a pasta with sausage and broccoli rabe, which didn't kill me but I would never recommend it or attempt to consume again, and then two people had the Bolognese, which they said they enjoyed. Incidentally the waiter kept telling every diner about homemade pasta. There is no way the ziti or penne that was served in lieu of the linguine ordered was homemade. The menu is huge. That's always a red flag to me. Do fewer things really well and not 50 poor to mediocre things. It was very busy when we arrived at 630, but nearly empty before 8. The service was terrible end to end. The food was 80% terrible. It pains me to say it, but any chain Italian restaurant is better. We would not ever return...

It's a Greek‑Mediterranean‑American spot, but honestly, the cuisine is only half the story -- the real magic is the atmosphere and the people who make this place feel like home. From the moment you walk in, the owner greets you like an old friend. He has this charming tradition of welcoming every guest with a complimentary slice of pizza -- a small gesture that somehow sets the tone for the whole night. At the end of your meal, he's back again, thanking you for coming and offering free rice pudding or a shot of limoncello or pistachio liqueur. It's warm, it's personal, and it's the kind of hospitality you just don't see anymore. You feel like you are being welcomed into his home. The bar is its own little universe -- friendly bartenders who remember your name, locals who remember each other's stories, and a steady hum of laughter and conversation. It's the kind of place where you can walk in alone and leave feeling like you were part of something. And yes, the food is genuinely good -- hearty, flavorful, comforting. But it's the welcoming environment, the sense of community, and the feeling of being appreciated that make Royal II special. It's become a summer ritual for us, and every year we're reminded why. If you want a meal that feels like a hug and a night that feels like belonging, Royal II is the place. ---
