We had a wonderful anniversary dinner at Détente during our trip to Martha’s Vineyard. It was a flawless experience from start to finish. Truly fine dining at its best with exceptional service and unforgettable food. We enjoyed our meal outside on their patio.
To start, we shared the lobster risotto and the peach salad (a special the night we dined in July), both beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. For our entrées, I had the pan seared halibut. It was perfectly cooked and full of vibrant summer flavors! I loved it. My husband throughly enjoyed the pork rib chop al pastor, which was juicy and flavorful.
We ended the evening with their bread pudding, the perfect sweet finish to an outstanding meal. Highly recommend for a special occasion or any night you want to treat yourself to an exceptional dining experience.

I was able to visit Detente while on the Vineyard and I was most happy I did. The service was quite good and the meal was excellent. The mocktails were quite good and expertly mixed. I can highly recommend Detente and will be happy to enjoy a meal here again.

I am truly impressed with this quaint fine dining restaurant Dentente located in downtown Edgartown. If you’re looking for a luxurious experience, look no further than Dentente! The vibe was sophisticated and peaceful, the outdoor seating was magical, and the food outmatched anything I’ve ever had on the island of Martha’s Vineyard! The staff went above and beyond, and their commitment to customer satisfaction is unmatched. The food was not only beautiful but it was truly a culinary experience! I can’t wait to return next year. Highly recommend!”

Shocking – Chablis was the best part about this meal !
Food is bland , unseasoned lacks the finese the menu describe’s
Our starter & main were inedible , when we fed this back to waiting staff , they dealt with it politely . at the end upon paying a hefty £120 bill . The waiter was sarcastic & rude which didn’t feel very professional after feeeding ba o & clearly leaving plates that weren’t edible !
This is not elegant dining and please read all reviews before making your reservation
Very disappointing after a day in the vineyard looking forward to our meal

Food was delish! We had the burrata panzanella salad, lobster ravioli, halibut, and bolognese. Everything was very fresh and delicious.
We sat outside, which had heaters in case you got cold. The restaurant just needs to play some music outside as you could hear everyone’s conversation and it was a bit quiet and awkward outside.

Our expectations were set high but we were underwhelmed with the overall experience for the price. Cocktails were unbalanced and not drinkable. The music selection was odd. Our main issue was the lack of contrasting textures and balance of flavors in the dishes: the appetizer pasta on top of a puree was tasty but all soft and too rich, and melted cheese over a fresh peach salad was unexpected, though the pairing of truffle and peach was flavorful. The local fish was over seasoned. I subbed risotto (gf) for the dish’s intended couscous but found it too to be too creamy and overly seasoned. It was a good meal but with limited time on the Vineyard we’d wished we’d gone elsewhere.

Detente is BY FAR one of THE BEST RESTAURANTS on Martha’s Vineyard and one of the best I’ve been to the world over. It is such a culinary delight: the innovative flavor combinations, the textures… OMG! Amazing every time! Great for foodies. Try the tasting menu with wine pairing! I’m sure you will love it too. And like me, I’ll bet you will find yourself returning again and again. This family-owned and operated dining establishment is a local blessing. Truly!

I’ve eaten at Detente consistently over many years, it’s probably my favorite restaurant on Martha’s Vineyard. It’s a little hidden away, so many folks aren’t aware it’s still a convenient option in town. It’s a wonderful combination of great food, a professional staff and good wine list. For Martha’s Vineyard the prices aren’t bad, particularly given the quality. They have both indoor and outdoor seating but it is a seasonal restaurant. A very solid option for either seafood or beef. Highly recommend by both my wife and I.

Established Martha’s Vineyard eatery. We sat at the bar where we enjoyed excellent service, delicious eats and relaxed yet elegant vibes. The lamb chops were tender and juicy, halibut was fresh and flaky. The appetizers were delicious! Large portions, fair prices.

On a beautiful night we visited Detente and were seated in the lovely courtyard. Every dish was an incredible and inventive mix of flavors, beautifully presented. The recommended wines we ordered were amazing, perfectly complimenting each course. And the service was also fantastic. Attentive and knowledgeable.
If I am ever back on the Vineyard, I will make sure to return to Detente…
