What a lovely place! We had chislic first at the bar as an app with some house cocktails, and they were delightful – only made better by our bartender.

Dinner , we talked through all our options and given fabulous wine recommendations. Our entrées were so incredibly lovely and we followed dinner with olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting in back.

Overall, we had a decadent evening and will be back soon. Need to have dessert next time.

We had the best experience! While this restaurant is seemingly upscale it has a great array of delicious food at a reasonable price! We were even allowed to bring our doggie on the patio. Our server Maddie was very attentive and friendly. The pork chops with the bacon, pecans and blue cheese was fantastic. Don’t skip the cheesecake for dessert, so good!! We will be back!!

Enjoyed many lunches and dinners over the years at The Pheasant! Tonight our steak was cooked correctly to order, with perfect baked potatoes, and the atmosphere was perfect for friendly conversation. The price is approximate for the quality of the food. The perfect restaurant for date night or a special evening!

I really liked the sensitive customer satisfaction in your restaurant. I see that it is a very clean restaurant. I was amazed by the cleanliness of the glass. Although I am a very meticulous person, I have never seen such a clean glass before. I want to appreciate you. Your employees are very warm-blooded and smiling. I congratulate your employees.

Bison filet and add the mild goat cheese compound butter on the side. Best decision EVER! The steak Melted in my mouth and complex taste kept me happy. I am so glad we visited this place. I just wish they had a sweatshirt or shirt to buy with name and logo. I would have purchased. But no worries I will be back next time I am town.

My son and I both got burgers, pbj burger and jalapeño jack burger. Any frozen burger patty from any brand would probably be better. Served with a very small serving of fries for 22 bucks. Any, and I mean any fast food burger would serve better. It’s sad.

We came for the Chislic and we weren’t disappointed.
My daughter and I came for the weekend for girl time and we decided to go to the Pheasant for dinner.

Waiter was new? But he was a peach, we ordered drinks and Chislic (The appetizer) we got drinks and our food came out next, when asked about the Chislic, he apologized profusely and asked if we still wanted it put in. I said yes please! Very Quickly there was lamb Chislic at our table. It was wonderful.

The bartender was also the Hostess? “Do you have reservations?” was the question she asked. I am guessing staff didn’t come to work and she was doing double duty? Which we were grateful she was there, but RUDE?

Food was great, our waiter took 50% off the Chislic without telling us, but I hope we made his night as we tipped generously.

Would go back again, if we ever get to Brookings!

wonderful food. we tried the Buffalo steak and the salmon dishes. our server was knowledgeable and friendly. Recommended for sure! Try the Burger Clash burger for sure! It is a winner. And they do a very good club salad.

The food was really good, but when we came in, 2 employees were standing there and never greeted us for about 4 minutes even though no one else was at the entrance. The waitress was SLOW! Asked for a knife 3x and even though it was pretty quiet it wasn’t until after we were done eating that she brought one. Waitress asked if 2 of the 4 of us wanted our drinks refilled. Brought one then 5 minutes later came back and asked again if the soda needed filling them took quite awhile to bring the soda. Didn’t come back to get the bill as we all sat looking around waiting.
