The Bramble Inn and Restaurant

Frommer's Review

Often named among the best restaurants on Cape Cod, there's an impromptu feel to this intimate restaurant, an enclave of five small rooms each imbued with its own personality, from sporting (the Tack Room) to best-Sunday-behavior (the Elegant Parlor). One-of-a-kind antique table settings add to the charm. Such niceties fade to mere backdrop, though, beside Ruth Manchester's extraordinary cuisine. A four-course (eight- to 10-option) menu that evolves every few weeks gives her free rein to follow fresh enthusiasms, as well as seasonal delicacies. Any specifics are quickly history, but she has a solid grounding in Mediterranean cuisines and a gift for improvising exotic influences. Her assorted seafood curry (with lobster, cod, scallops, and shrimp in a light curry sauce with grilled banana, toasted almonds, coconut, and chutney) and her rack of lamb (with deep-fried beet-and-fontina polenta, pan-seared zucchini, and mustard port cream) have been written up in The New York Times. An a la carte bistro menu is now available Sunday to Thursday in the Hunt Room bar and in the courtyard garden.
