The duck breast was a masterpiece, perfectly cooked with a crisp skin and tender, flavorful meat. Paired with farro, the nutty grain added a delightful texture that complemented the richness of the duck. The green beans were crisp and fresh, offering a lightness that balanced the dish. The real highlight was the blackberries, whose sweet and tart notes brought a refreshing contrast to the savory elements, elevating the entire experience. A beautifully composed plate, offering a mix of textures and flavors that worked harmoniously. The pork chop was expertly prepared, juicy and tender with a golden-brown sear that locked in all the flavors. Served alongside fingerling potatoes, the dish was hearty and comforting, with the potatoes offering a nice balance of crispness on the outside and softness within. The asparagus was perfectly cooked—tender yet slightly firm—adding a touch of freshness to the plate. The simplicity of the sides allowed the pork to shine, making this a satisfying and well-rounded dish that delivers on both flavor and presentation.

I took my family here based on the good reviews I saw online. They didn't disappoint. The owner quickly sat us at our table and brought us water. The waitress was running around but came to the table and said she would be right with us. She had worked at the restaurant for many years and was helpful with recommendations. We were a table of 5 and every dish was amazing. No complaints from any of us. I highly recommend if you are in the area to check it out.

Ask for Josh the bartender, he’s outgoing and has a great personality. My wife and I loved him. He recommended the burger, which was at first top 3 I’ve ever had in my life- but now I think it was my all time favorite burger!! Also Josh makes a delicious martini. It was so nice to talk to another local. Food is great, drinks are great, bar is great... might just be our new spot!

Mooncusser's was the perfect venue for our rehearsal dinner and welcome reception. It fit our guests comfortably and provided an incredible atmosphere. The cocktails were fantastic, the food was delicious, and it had that charming Cape energy we were looking for. Highly recommend for any special occasion.

We ate at the Mooncussers Tavern. It was the best food we had our entire vacation! So incredibly fresh so many great options, everything tasted amazing. The service here is the best in Cape Cod. Our server, Jackie was so kind and helpful. She is an amazing human and a quick, efficient, skilled waitress. The atmosphere here is really cozy the property is beautiful.

Andrew is a great Bartender! Very friendly and learned our names. Super drinks and a comfortable atmosphere. We had reservations at another restaurant but he convinced us to stay here for dinner. The food was amazing! He was right. It did not disappoint. We will definitely come back!

Food is amazing. Very high quality, with great flavors. I got the steak frites and my wife got the salmon. We also shared the garlic shrimp appetizer. All very good. I tried her salmon and it was one of the best I've had. Blueberry cheesecake for dessert to top it all off - and it was phenomenal. Highly recommend eating here. We also stayed here in the inn last year and had a pleasant experience. Comfortable rooms and the owner is very friendly.

Wasn’t expecting white tablecloths at a tavern, wasn’t expecting the food to be THAT GOOD, but it was. The service was great, and the place was lighter and well spaced out, and that wasn’t expected. This was our first time there, but I can promise it won’t be our last!
