    Our dinner was delicious. Never had a bad meal at Nantucket’s! and we have been going there for years! I would definitely recommend this restaurant. It was totally packed with people and it was a Wednesday night during off season, which says a lot!

    Not quite up to this restaurant’s normal excellence. The chef was a little too heavy handed with certain spices. Additionally, overcooking crabcakes to the point that they have a very dark brown exterior is an insult to the quality of the crab meat. While the food was quite good and the service excellent, it was disappointing based upon prior experiences.

    The Baked Brie Alla appetizer was exceptional. The portion was fully adequate for one, but when sharing it was a little light, except for the provided ciabatta toast which was generous. The NY strip steak was very enjoyable, cooked precisely to my requested doneness and the accompanying asparagus were of a nice size, not skinny strings like in some places. The cast iron roasted cod was also delicious. The staff was welcoming and friendly.

    Really wanted to like this restaurant enough to come back again, but we were rushed through dinner, the dining room is so loud it’s hard to have a conversation without raising your voice. The ambiance is somewhat dated and drab, but the room is huge so brightening it up would really make a difference. Food was good, nice wine list.

    I ordered the NY Strip, garlic mash -came with asparagus. Steak was difficult to cut, lots of gristle. Not cooked to order. Garlic mash was just ok. Ordered “kids”pasta dish for my grandaughter. It was awful! So bland. No taste. $11! She didn’t eat it. Even the bread was just so so. My daughter ordered scallop/ shrimp pasta. Way too much seasoning. Overkill. Asparagus were excellent. Otherwise, everything else, not so hot. Won’t return. We are here 2 nights. We chose Nantucket’s as our special meal. Tonight we’ll have pizza. 😣

    Very enjoyable meal. Soup of the day was roasted peppers with crab in a cream base and was excellent. We had halibut and roast pork chop (very thick) entrees, which were both prepared perfectly. Wine selection by glass was good. Coffee could have been hotter and the server could have been more attentive, but both were acceptable. Nice to see more unusual offerings on the menu, which is why we come here when we visit Fenwick.

    Food is always good … No complaints there. We dine here a couple of times each summer so we are familiar with the menu as it rarely changes. Lamb chops are great as the steaks and pork and the lobster shepherds pie is a personal favorite. On this occasion our server appeared to be new as she made quite a few mistakes , perhaps they are short staffed due to the season coming to an end so we are patient knowing this. Parking can be hard but we got lucky and found a spot easily.
