   As always Pain Davignon delivers an elevated dinner on Cape Cod. There are very few restaurants on the Cape that can rise to this level. The potato and leek soup was velvety with incredible flavor of truffle and rich potato leek aroma. The gnocchi special included mushrooms blanched cherry tomatoes and a rich ricotta and Parmesan sauce, sublime. The chicken was perfectly cooked juicy and exuding the herb and broth punch of flavor. Don’t miss the bread and butter!! Wine selection is amazing with all regions and price points represented. I’ve been many times and if you’re looking for the special dinner on Cape Cod this is the place.

   Food quality and service are excellent. Menu items are unique but seem a bit pricey.

   I was looking for an upscale, romantic spot for Valentine’s Day dinner. Many dining spots on Cape Cod were closed for winter or booked weeks ahead of time. I chose poorly. 1. No convenient parking. I had to park in an adjacent airport parking lot and paid $7. 2. Table was very small. I am not tiny, but certainly not huge (36 waist) and I barely fit into the chair. The arms were tight to my waist. 3. The service was painfully slow. We had a 7:30pm reservation. It was almost 20 minutes before our waiter arrived with water. Our cocktails arrived 20 minutes later. Entrees at 9:30pm, then dessert. 4. Only time waiter was around was to deliver or remove plates. Busboy and hostess were helping but were unable to take drink orders. 5. The menu was limited, which should have sped things up since they were obviously well over their capacity. Prix fixe was $75 not including drinks, tax or tip. Therefore, I was expecting the food to be gourmet. However, it was just OK. Oyster chowder was very good, truffle risotto was bland, duck breast was OK and halibut was passable (largely because of the sauce). Chocolate mousse cake was dry. We did receive a complimentary bag with signature bread and cookies when we left. We witnessed one couple leaving before the waiter showed up and two adjacent tables that had to ask for utensils to continue their meal. The table next to us said they were informed at 8:30pm that only two of the five entree choices remained. (But, to be fair, those were not our personal experiences.) I’ve had brunch here before and it was very good. I hope this improves. We need fine dining options.

   Tables are placed too close. Feels like you are intruding into fellow diners privacy

   I thr duck and it was not great….unloved duck and would say it was so tough I asked for a steak knife and even then it was very hard to cut. I would say it was just a bad piece of meat. My husband’s meal was very good he had the tenderloin. I did not return the meal as it was a pre fixed menu and I hate to hold up other while eating
