About the restaurant

Pisces Restaurant features coastal cooking with a Mediterranean flair. Our menu is a celebration of all things seasonal featuring mostly Cape Cod's native seafood as well as a variety of non seafood options. This is a Chef owned restaurant that is well know for its light fresh cooking style and a menu that changes often. Favorite dishes include sautéed calamari, lobster corn chowder, risotto, seared rare tuna, cornmeal crusted cod and a killer ribeye steak! Warm rosemary foccacia and famous desserts are made in house. Our carefully selected wine list is designed to compliment our cuisine and offers over 20 wines by the glass, craft and local beers as well as classic and creative cocktails. Local art is carefully displayed throughout the cozy dining room where there is an intimate 7 seat bar. Pisces is open seasonally, so plan to stop in between April and Columbus Day weekend. Reservations are highly recommended and limited as many guests book well in advance.

Asia and her staff are experts on delivering amazing food paired with a great vibe. I took a large group of out of towners there, and she knocked their socks off. I will be back as often as possible.

We were really REALLY impressed with Kosmos. It's obvious that effort went into the design of the restaurant. It's bright and nice looking. It has a lot of sound dampening along the ceiling so (unlike most restaurants) it was easy for my wife and I to converse at a normal speaking level. Lovely. Civilized. Our waiter put a lot of effort into everything. The service was a giant step above normal restaurant service. Maybe 2 giant steps. Like a fine dining experience. Timely, informed, quickly returned with answers to my questions (they even make their own pita bread!), dealt with my allergy in a professional way. Perfection. It's obvious that a lot of effort went into the menu and the preparation of the food itself. I generally think of Greek food as comfort food, and our meals did give a sense of home, but the meals were delicious and the flavors extraordinarily well put together. The food is, like the service, a couple giant steps above expectations. The meal sizes were large, so we both left stuffed. Are you sensing a pattern? Effort from everyone there. Kosmos is doing everything right, and trying to impress. We'll be going back.
