This is an amazing place. Classy and delicious. Staff was on point. It’s pricey, bring your wallet. Drinks were delicious. There’s outside and inside seating and bars. It packs pretty quickly so make a res. Tell em Barsnobs sent ya!

Terrible awful service and disgustingly wilting salad. See the pics- RACIAL profiled by two women of the seemingly either one of the host or the manager.
– edit to your meaningless reply: JUST admit and say genuine and sincere apologies without making this as my confusion. There were clear reasons why your members were racist. 1) there WAS already two white women party who were seating at the 4-people-table NEXT TO us. I was able to SEE it. 2) after we waited and sat, there WAS another white elderly couple who were introduced to the 4-people-seating outside after us. 3) We didn’t even get thank you when we were leaving and that two women were at the entrance as seen in the pic.
I’m telling the truth- and still your salad was disgusting and definitely not worth to visit. We never experienced your rude attitude at any restaurant, especially clearly asking for something very reasonable. DON’T make me a fool and don’t lie to us. Good luck with your business!
They didn’t even apologize about my disgustingly dried salad which was not fresh at all, with our return. Although I got the second new one, every tips of the greens were blackened and yellowed. One of them just said “sorry, guys” very casually without any real emotion. We were no one to them.
They let us wait while other same number parties without reservation went ahead of us multiple times.
We thought they might stick to their rule like tables for two. But, apparently, any other white people was introduced to the table for 4 right away even when they were two people. Why did only we had to wait?
And the food was at best mediocre.
Our server and another host were nice though. But I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. They ruined the ending of our wedding anniversary trip. Except for this restaurant, everything was perfect.

Just arrived in Nantucket for a day trip and had previously made a 1130 reservation. We arrived and we’re seated in a very lovely outdoor patio setting. I bet it would be even better in the evening. We were immediately greeted right away and our drink orders were taken. When I asked if we needed any help with the menu, we didn’t, and immediately placed our order. Very friendly staff and attentive service while we were there. The food arrived quickly, and each entrée that we chose, we loved. No room for dessert so we paid our bill and we’re on with our day. I would highly recommend visiting this place as it has a lovely atmosphere and fantastic food and service.

What an amazing treasure! So beautiful restaurant I suggest you go early this way you’ll get in and seated and not have to wait a while. Had the duck for two although a little pricey absolutely delicious I utilize the barbecue sauce served with the pork buns and it made the duck Taco over the top. This is a must try amazing service made a new friend would definitely go back!

Place is cute. The new renovation inside and out are great. Definitely Garden is a plus.
Food is ok .
Sorry nothing memorable.
Last time we had bad experience with the service. No water, wrong order, nobody check on us, we had to go to the bar for our drinks…. just big mess and the place wasn’t busy.
Would i go back – yes , i just hope service is better.

Great downtown dining option. Largest bar in downtown Nantucket with many great drink options. Food is fabulous with an outside dinning option. Best part of the operation is The Blow Hole. A secret bar on the patio.

The chef worked with my friends garlic and onion and vegetarian restrictions. Kudos.
It is a bit limited menu so I suggest you review the choices beforehand.
Server was amazing and all the staff for that matter.

We had an amazing lunch here–everyone at the restaurant was so friendly and there was a good amount of space for our Lab, Luke. The drinks are pretty unique as well. We loved it here so much, we came back for dinner and were not disappointed. The duck tacos were incredible. Highly recommend when you’re on the island!
