I like the concept of this place, relaxed, easy, airy, yet with a bent towards sophistication, but there were several misses. First the hits… The mussels were very well done. The sauce was deep, rich and well executed. The big boxy bread was a treat – and the butter a perfect herb infused compliment.
The fish and chips, a staple, had an excellent batter, but for nearly $50, was a bit of a eye watering price for two pieces of fried fish on a bed of fries. The fish that night, in an iridescent green broth, looked divine, but it was thin and rather bland. I heard the duck was well done, but didn’t taste it.
In general, if you come here, the service will be great, the prices astronomical, and the food overall solid to very good, the prices knock this down to a B overall.

A fancy, expensive restaurant with genuinely good food. I had the pasta with cream sauce, and the portion was much more generous than I expected. A couple people with me raved about the fish. Dessert was a shared creme brulee, which was a little toasty in flavor. Overall, a good meal. Reservations are a must in the summer. Be warned: it’s BYOB, with a corking fee for wine bottles.

Came on a Monday night for a 5:30pm reservation with 3 girlfriends. We came on the early side because we wanted to watch the sunset on the beach after dinner. The dining room was pretty sparsely populated when we arrived but both the main dining room and the outdoor patio had filled up by the time we left at 6:45.
Since it’s BYOB, we brought a bottle of wine and a bottle of batched Negronis which our waitress quickly brought out glasses for and served. For dinner we started with the bread, special cheese starter and summer squash. I thought that the squash was really exceptional. For my main course I ordered the half chicken. It came with a side salad and was crispy, juicy and delicious. Two of my girlfriends got the chicken pot pie and said it was one of the best they ever had. The Buffalo Brussels were also on point.
The food here felt like having a great home cooked meal. Looking forward to coming back!

Had a great experience here. The atmosphere was really casual, but nice; the service was 5 stars; the menu was really inventive. Four stars overall because, even though the food was very unique, it didn’t deliver as much flavor as I would have liked. The pasta dish pictured here was good, but not great; the scallops were good, but again, not a great overall dish (although they were cooked nicely).
The place is BYOB—$14 corking fee for a bottle of wine—which I think is very reasonable. Overall, prices are fair.
I’d go back to try some other things, but for now, I’m fairly impressed!

Our family had an absolutely amazing experience and a wonderful first meal out on Island last week.
We were eager to goto some new restauraunts and we will most definetly be back!
They are BYOB and do a fantastic job at it!!! We brought bourbon and wine to drink while dining.
We tried the following:
Apps:
– Calamari App
– Onion rings
– Sourdough w/ scape butter (to die for)
Entrees:
– Vegetarian curry * 3 people
– Fish and Chips
– Tuna entree over green beans (SO FRESH)
– Wagyu steak and lobster Mac n cheesy
All were cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was on point and we had no complaints at all.
Will be back again. 10/10 would reccomend to a friend!

Chilmark Tavern definitely defied my expectations. I came here simply because I’m staying in West Tisbury, and by the time I had checked in to my hostel it was one of the few places still open nearby. I saw “tavern” and figured it would be typical tavern fare, but it definitely is not. It’s an upscale and expensive restaurant, and the food and service were both incredible. Be aware that it is BYOB, I was an idiot and ordered a virgin paloma not realizing that.
It’s probably the closest to fine dining I’ve ever been, although the dinosaur coloring pages at the bar undercut that a bit. While fine dining isn’t really my style, I was very happy with my experience. Never had I experienced so much order regret at a restaurant before, and it’s not because I didn’t enjoy what I had but just that I wanted to try so many things on the menu. I had a ricotta toast special and tuna tartare, both were supremely presented, thoughtfully flavored dishes. The price is quite steep, but I have no regrets.

This restaurant has a comfortable and welcoming vibe. The staff is attentive and superb; working as a team. The dishes are creative and always on point as are the cocktails/mocktails. I would highly recommend making a trip up island to dine here. BYOB but the basil martini is not to be missed, nor the hot fudge sundae! Go to Resy now!

A gorgeous restaurant with delicious food. The mussels came in a broth similar to the broth of clam chowder, the best I’ve ever had. Halibut fish and chips was made to perfection. BYOB, but I like that they have three different house wines for anyone who forgets their libations.

Blown away by the food and service. 10/10 recommend. My husband was only a week into his Celiac diagnosis when we visited Martha’s Vineyard. We were concerned we wouldn’t be able to find Celiac restaurants AND delicious meals. Chilmark Tavern delivered. Their Halibut dish was perfectly cooked with a bright broth and crispy spring veggies. Their duck was rich with a beautiful cherry sauce and skin was crispy crispy crispy. They even had an incredible gluten free crème brûlée which happens to be my husband and I’s favorite dessert. We came with my 3 year old daughter and I’m sure they don’t have any toddlers here yet they were so kind and accommodating. Our waiter went above and beyond making sure our meals were celiac safe and made toddler modifications. Oh and before I forget their mocktails were refreshing and it’s hard to find a good mocktail that isn’t overly sweet. I am very grateful for Chilmark Tavern!

Ate at the bar, wood was amazing, went on a Friday, so there was a lot if chatter noise, only reason it’s a 4 star for atmosphere. Staff super friendly and helpful. Bob, 15$ bittle charge. I got chicken fries, was very good.
