Coonamessett Inn, Falmouth

Sunday brunch is an event at Falmouth's Coonamessett Inn, but then again, so is lunch or dinner just about any day of the week. This old-world style eatery is set in a building that dates back to 1796. Dining venues range from a cozy pub-style setting to a bright and airy garden room. The food is top-notch New England fare—fish, seafood, lamb, poultry, and beef complemented by locally-grown herbs and vegetables. The lobster pie—chunks of sweet lobster meat in a sherry cream sauce—is a perennial favorite. The restaurant features a nice selection of wines.
