The Pheasant

We recently planned a Bachelorette dinner out at the Pheasant. The restaurant was beautiful. Moody vibes, exactly what we were looking for. The atmosphere was warm and cozy on a rainy Saturday night on the cape. The exact feel we wanted. There was a lovely hum to the restaurant filled with happy people deep in conversations. The food was straight out of a magazine. We were encouraged to try plates and eat family style by sharing the plates from the center of the table. The food was so good, we enjoyed each bite. It was truly the exact foody experience we wanted for our Bride to be. For me the food was very delicious and bursting with flavor, probably one of the fanciest meals I have ever had. The menu of offerings gets larger as you read down the menu. So you could decide to order separate plates from the offerings towards the bottom. One of the major reasons we picked this particular restaurant was because it could accomodate our group's diverse dietary needs. The Pheasant was able to answer our questions ahead of time for Gluten Free and Vegan options. Sometimes one in the same and sometimes not. Something that is gluten free may not be vegan. The restaurant was able to accommodate us. We had a lovely experience.

One of the best meals out I’ve had in a while! Everything was so delicious and thoughtfully prepared that it’s hard to pick a favorite, but Uli’s Mushrooms were absolutely to die for. Fantastic wine list too! Great vibes, cozy and a little more upscale without being stuffy— a perfect spot for a cozy date night or a memorable dinner with friends. Oh, and Karen is the sweetest!

The food was excellent but didn't inform the customer in advance that they add a steep 20% service fee on top of bill before the tip, so we ended up paying 40% more for our ordered food ($45 bringing the total to A$145 for dinner for two), which is too much. Since they don't warn you on the menu, verbally, or with a sign at the hostess stand, we were not happy. Docked the service rating for lack of honesty.
