I was surprised at how wonderful the martinis served by Damien. The food was top notch. Love the scallops, and the Mooncussers fries. The crowd was something of an anomaly. We met great people and had the time of our lives. Love to try new things on Cape and this was definitely a win-win.

Just returned from what I thought would be a so-so night at a local tavern. Was I completely surprised! This quaint tavern with live sax and flute music, was just what the doctor ordered after a long week at work!! The food was amazing- we tried 4 different items and one was better than the next! The bartender, Damian, was... More

While open for about a year, Mooncussers Tavern is still pretty much undiscovered. Good drink menu. Great Pub / Tapas menu. Great Full menu. Very friendly owners and staff.

We stopped for drinks & dinner with two other couples after catching a movie on a rainy evening last month. It was a first visit for all of us. We decided to share, so we split orders of the fries ( rosemary bearnaise and truffle parmesan), the duck infused sliders, gambas, lobster crostini, beef carpaccio, and mushroom al ajillo. Generous... More

We live in a restaurant town for the rest of the year, so I don't often go looking for gourmet food on the Cape. We have had good classic-style meals there, but nothing adventurous in presentation and preparation until Mooncussers Tavern. Late on a Friday evening, my wife and I went looking for a place where we could have something... More

When Cicadia closed down several years ago, there was a void and great sadness felt across the fine dining greater Harwich community. The restaurant site lay empty during the "great recession" with no apparent future. But with the resurgence of the local economy in 2010, a new restaurant was born. And over the last two years, it's only gotten better.... More

We were celebrating our 5 year Anniversary. The whole weekend was perfect. Restaurants, Inn and Mooncussers. I sent an email to them to see if they could put together something special for us. I asked for a private room first. Then I wanted a bottle of red and a bottle of white waiting for us. Then I thought, since my... More

Thank you to the whole staff at Mooncussers for giving my whole family a truly memorable experience. We had a private party for my mother's 80th birthday and the whole family attended. Such a perfect evening.

Our oysters were very good and nicely presented. Unfortunately hubs found a big piece of shell in his lobster salad. My scallops were very good, but the risotto upon which they rested was a little undercooked. Service was efficient and pleasant. Live music on Friday eveng was nice. Dirty Martini should have more than two olives.

Unfortunate that a piece of shell was overlooked, our sincere apologies. Must say surprised to read about the risotto though. It is one of our most liked, and positively commented on dish, that we serve. Cooking is often a subjective. Please next time ask you waitress, or management to correct the problem, which we would more than happy to do.... More
