    Food was average. Took forever to receive our food. Took over 45 min after we ordered our appetizers to order our entrees. Waiter forgot we ordered drinks. Others around us received their food in a timely manner where we did not.

    The food was fantastic and so was the service. There were four of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed dinner. The Chowdah was incredible. I highly recommend Nantuckets.

    Awesome restaurant. We go to Fenwick twice a year and always make a reservation at Nantucket’s. Lobster Shepherds Pie is truly amazing. Lamb chops and a filet were slightly overcooked but good. Great service as always from Danaris . Cya soon!

    While the appy's were excellent, the Bouillabaisse only had a couple of scallops and 3 shrimp. It was primarily mussels which was disappointing. Also, the parking is still a nightmare (to be expected given the location) and the restaurant itself was so HOT we were so uncomfortable during dinner. The high point was our server Susie who despite the heat was amazing.

    Normally we love coming here. However, our experience last night was awful! The temperature was unbearable. We were sweating through our entire meal. While our server was friendly and apologetic, the heat made the experience less than pleasant.

    This visit was about our 10th time to eat at Nantucket's and by far the most disappointing. From just walking in the restaurant was hot. It was my wife's birthday which I noted to Open Table and the establishment. Our waiter was young and inexperienced who did not know the menu or the reason for confetti on the table. He screwed up our order and was out of sorts with the appetizers and salads. I guess what I was most disappointed in was the portions of the food, especially for the price I paid. I always looked at Nantucket's as our "go to" restaurant. We own in Bethany Beach and have eaten in many restaurants; this visit was the most disappointing in a very long time. I hope in some way this review straightens out the service and food quality at Nantucket and brings the pricing more in line with the market. Right now, we will try other establishments in the area and venture up to Rehoboth Beach. I wish you luck.
