About the restaurant

Pisces Restaurant features coastal cooking with a Mediterranean flair. Our menu is a celebration of all things seasonal featuring mostly Cape Cod's native seafood as well as a variety of non seafood options. This is a Chef owned restaurant that is well know for its light fresh cooking style and a menu that changes often. Favorite dishes include sautéed calamari, lobster corn chowder, risotto, seared rare tuna, cornmeal crusted cod and a killer ribeye steak! Warm rosemary foccacia and famous desserts are made in house. Our carefully selected wine list is designed to compliment our cuisine and offers over 20 wines by the glass, craft and local beers as well as classic and creative cocktails. Local art is carefully displayed throughout the cozy dining room where there is an intimate 7 seat bar. Pisces is open seasonally, so plan to stop in between April and Columbus Day weekend. Reservations are highly recommended and limited as many guests book well in advance.

Loved everything about our experience at Pisces, it was our first time which is surprising because apparently the restaurants been around for 30 years. Met the chef/owner who was lovely and were made aware of several servers who had been there for 20+ years, which was impressive. All the food was lovely, but a shout out to the lemon Parmesan salad, the tuna steak, and we can’t forget the Keylime pie! We will be back!

About the restaurant

Alberto's Ristorante was established in 1984 at which time, Northern Italian cuisine and fresh homemade pasta were introduced to Cape Cod for the first time. Since then, we have continued this tradition of all fresh ingredients and in-house preparation of every course from the soups to the desserts.

Our reputation for casual elegance arises from our emphasis on decor, service, the pride we take in food preparation, and our affordability. Over the years, we have received rave reviews from food critics from the Cape Cod Times, The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald, Cape Cod Life Magazine, Fodor's, AAA, and New York Times critic James Beard for "...exquisite Northern Italian cuisine". Our lounge is the perfect setting for a before dinner cocktail, an after dinner espresso, or an even more casual meal. Call for lounge or bar seating (high tops only)

About the restaurant

The Ships Inn Restaurant offers one of Nantucket's finest dining experiences. Located in an historic whaling captain\'s mansion built in 1831, the dining room and lounge are below street level and have an updated colonial atmosphere. Tall windows along two walls let in the summer breezes and let escape the sounds of happy conversation. This restaurant is a very good choice for an evening out with friends, and there are cozy, intimate alcoves for more romantic encounters. American/French cuisine is featured, with everything freshly prepared on the premises. Chef Mark Gottwald's food is bold and flavorful, and presented with understated elegance. Dinner menu selections include lobster, calamari, crab cakes, salmon, prawns, chicken, duck, beef, and lamb. Only the freshest ingredients are used. Members of our restaurant staff have been part of the Ships Inn family for an average of seven years or more. Friendliness, attentiveness, and food knowledge are the cornerstones of our operation.
