    The waiter barely checked in with us and was aloof. The food was good, however we were disappointed with the inhospitable atmosphere.

    The staff was pleasant and the food was good. That said, I won't return primarily because of the lighting in the restaurant. The bulbs are so bright that I actually felt my cheeks flush! They could make the appeal so much greater just by dimming or changing the existing lighting.

    Very nice ambiance - we had reservations for the dining room but decided to sit at the bar because it looked so inviting. Had chowder which was excellent. My husband had the haddock picatta and I had the baked cod. Both were delicious!

    The food was all really good. We shared the crab cakes with a spicy corn salsa, mussels and a cup apiece of lobster bisque. Perfect amount of food for 2 at lunch. Service was excellent. A glass of Rose from Provence was a great accompaniment.

    The food and service was very good. The prices are a little high, but that’s to be expected around the Cape.

    We had a lovely Valentine's Dinner at the Wild Goose Tavern and everyone was delicious! Filet Mignon was perfectly cooked. Shrimp Scampi was wonderful too! We ended the meal sharing a chocolate lava cake - OMG - so so good. We had a terrific time.
