    We had a wonderful family ( ages 1-72)dinner. We were in a separate building from the main restaurant but that did not seem to impede the service- our waitstaff Nick and Andrea were terrific and very helpful. We several appetizers/salads to start along with wine and special cocktails-The 4 adults had lobster rolls which were delicious and the kids had kid food. We would have topped the evening off at their ice cream store, but we were too full. We will definitely do it again!

    Amazing! Had shrimp tempura as an appetizer and both of us ordered steak frites. Both were amazing and we said immediately we’d be talking about it forever! 10000/10

    The staff accommodated our request to dine outdoors. The staff was attentive. The food was excellent. Made our 46th wedding anniversary memorable.

    Came for dinner in our second night on Nantucket. Beautiful setting on the patio. Amazing food and service. Highly recommend the halibut. We took Lyft to the restaurant from town but had a lovely walk back.

    Wonderful experience everybody getting different things all the food cooked and prepared beautifully. On a special note, they really took care of my wife who had some tough ambulatory needs. They were very flexible and took care of whatever we really needed to happen. Everything happened well and was super tasty. Always one of the solid tasty meals at a reasonable price.
