There is a great variety on the menu and the offerings are consistently well executed. The entire staff are friendly and exceedingly efficient. While the dining area is always busy the ambience is classy and soothing. The price for a fine dining level meal is very modest and I would unhesitatingly recommend Nantuckets.

The restaurant did not have our reservation. Management said they do not use Open Table even though there was a link on their website. They were not too concerned about it and there was no apology however they were able to seat our party of 6 at the time we had 'reserved'.
