Glass Onion

Cape Cod


The place to go in the area for a romantic dinner. The menu stars New American cuisine with French and Italian influences. Top billing goes to the butter-poached lobster, which is served with a creamy mushroom risotto. Service and wine selections are as top-shelf as the food. No bookings taken.
