    Food tasted great but three of us got the same dish and looked like they ran out of ingredients for third portion. Really expensive for the food you get.

    One of the best kept secrets in Falmouth! The staff was excellent and really made us feel welcome. We joined them for our anniversary and could not have been happier. To start, we had a quiet table by the front window and they brought us complementary Champagne. Our server (Alison) was awesome and the entire staff worked really well together.

    Food is fair. Ran out of every food item we ordered. Drink pour is small and the service is horrible. So many better options on the cape.

    We have been coming here for years and it recently has gone downhill with the new ownership. It used to feel very mom & pop and we never rushed through dinner. The new feel is definitely to get you in and out. The food is still very good but portions are smaller and it has gotten even more expensive- they now even charge for bread. We never came here for the ambience as it's on a main road and if you want to sit outside it's under a tent. Given we were rushed through our meal which was over $300 in less than one hour it just put a bad taste in our mouths. They are opening another restaurant and it just feels very commercial now; less about the customer and more about running up a high tab and heavy turnover. There are so many waterfront dining options in the Cape where you can sit and enjoy a meal and not feel rushed that this sadly will no longer be a return spot for us.

    Adorable little place! Loved the interior ambience and the open kitchen where you can watch your food being made all the while listening to the Chef and cooks regularly going back and forth with food orders and “yes Chef”s. Our food was beautifully prepared and perfectly cooked. We loved the farm to table experience!

    We ordered the filet mignon ($45). It came in slices over a bed of risotto. Weird. Why do that? Are they trying to save money? The flavor was not bad, but not memorable. Would not hurry back.

    This used to be my favorite restaurant. Best burger I ever had, and homemade fries to die for! Expensive, but worth it! Now they have gotten rid of the French fries. Your $26 burger comes with nothing. I can’t tell you how disappointing this is. I brought a friend from out of town here and I was totally embarrassed to bring her for such an expensive burger that comes with nothing. And we ordered the focaccia, which I usually love. This night it was sourdough bread instead. 3 teeny tiny pieces for 2 people (you couldn’t have given 4 slices so each person could have 2?), and at a cost of $8. I was hoping this was a one time fluke, but stopped in tonight and found the $26 burger doesn’t come with fries. You can get tater tots for an additional charge. No thanks. We went elsewhere and won’t be back. I am truly disappointed by this because although I’m not an adventurous eater, I lloved every burger creation that the chef came up with. I will now go to Tap City Grille for a burger, that’s almost as good, and comes with homemade fries, for $18.

    This restaurant offers a very limited monthly menu but not everything was available. Everything on the menu had unique “spins” - nothing traditional. As a result, given the limited offerings and some unusual ingredients, our personal choices were limited - we all had the burger. Nonetheless- it was incredible! The strawberry shortcake dessert was also delicious! Will definitely try it again in season assuming the menu is more to my liking then.

    The food was not worth the high prices. Very loud inside. I never leave reviews but this place is not worth it. Chicken Parm was the same as you could get at a sub shop. The fish was cooked well but very bland tasting.

    We had an early dinner reservation so we were surprised how many things we ordered they were out of - including a very popular gin, the ingredients to a drink on their specialty drink menu, and the vegetable featured in a couple of their dishes. Disappointing. Also found the decor a bit confusing - a cool bar area, but the dining area featured a strange assortment of art that seemed like it was collected at garage sales and made no aesthetic sense. The surface of the tables are uneven, making dishes and glasses placed on it wobble precariously, and the tables were bunched together so that one couldn’t walk to the bathrooms without taking a circuitous route around the room. However the food was delicious, our favorites were the cacio e pepe pasta special and crispy wings (which I think they also had run out of by the time we left). Overall even though we enjoyed the food we were able to order, I’m not sure we’d return given the other shortcomings.

    The only reason we returned is because we had a balance on our gift certificate and after 1 year we were hoping that the food would improve. My steak was warmed up in a microwave and not cooked from scratch. My husband had the Lobster roll and said that it was bland. The only good part was the fries. We won’t be back unless it changes hands again!

    Good food, nicely presented. Extremely overpriced and not worth the expense. Charging $15 for some bread is rather excessive. One leaves with the feeling that the goal of this restaurant is to maximize profitability regardless of the appearance of gauging the customer. I doubt that I will return.

    I always have a good experience at this restaurant. The menu always changes, with interesting and fresh ingredients. Unfortunately, this experience was a little less positive. My husband ordered the duck paella-more of duck risotto, and certainly not worth the $50 entree price tag. There were only 2 dessert options, and both were fruit. No chocolate, no cookies, etc. As a woman, this is EXTREMELY disappointing! There is usually a great dessert option here, but not last night. Needs a little work to end the meal on a high note!

    I was surprised to get a rez last minute (morning of) but maybe that's because it's off season. It turns out there were only a few empty tables, so I felt lucky. Everything was superb, from drinks to apps to entrees. A bit on the noisy side, but not cramped. I'll be back.

    Appetizers are creative and also include a generous portion of interestingly seasoned chicken wings. Main entrees should include at least one pork dish. There is always a lesser cut of beef at full price (like skirt) We don't buy these cuts at home, so wish cool restaurants like this would avoid. Ordered main course for two whick was the veal- probably the best version of Veal Parm between here and Firenze. Would love at least a few more desserts. the only 'option" was a fine cheesecake.

    Menu was limited and a bit funky. Service was OK, however that is typical in general on the cape host was excellent. Somewhat disappointing meal as I have been there many times (however most recent time before this past Saturday was 6 months prior). Menu felt like they were trying too hard to make it fancy.

    Had a delicious food experience. We started with Brussel sprouts, Caesar salad and chorizo. Then split the amazing chicken parmigiana special and our friends split the smash burger. Both did not disappoint. So good. We finished by sharing the chocolate mouse with olive oil and salt. Yummy!

    The food was innovative and outstanding from apps to dessert. The house cocktails were also memorable. Service was just what I like - prompt, friendly and knowledgeable without being the least overbearing. I have always liked the feel of this space through the several restaurants that have occupied it, and this is its best iteration. Not inexpensive, but definitely worth the price.
