Your dining experience begins the moment you enter the restaurant. The luxurious setting, inviting and playful decor sets the tone for a meal with friends.
Fast forward to the culinary part.
After a nine month hiatus from the Nantucket social scene, Sister Ship was first re-entry.
I went twice in the last three weeks, and, on both occasions the meals were excellent, which we enjoyed family style.
The star of the each meal for us was the steak! A generous portion, very tender, perfectly seasoned and can be easily shared among 3 people.
This is the best 16oz Ribeye steak on Nantucket for under $80.
Let’s not forget the Big Eye Tuna Crudo another favorite of mine which I grudgingly shared. The blood orange delivers the precise amount of acidity to brighten the buttery taste of the rich tuna natural flavors.
The seafood paella looked amazing, I didn’t indulge because I do not eat pork.
Chef Nathan & Sous Chef Brandon, you make an excellent team and the consistency is evident! Thank you for taking our palates on an adventure each time we dine at the Sister Ship.

this is one of our favorite dinner restaurants on nantucket! the service is a bit on the slow side, but what’s the rush—that’s the european way! sit down, relax and enjoy some of the most incredible dishes, you won’t regret it! the smoked tuna dip, tuna crudo, gambas and the spicy pork ragu are some of our favorites. their burgers are also incredible—melt in your mouth!

Lovely Valentine’s Day Dinner! For our first time, the service was incredible, cocktails on point and such exceptional food. We started off with the Kale & Native Green Salad and Smoked Fogtown Carrots then the Maple Leaf Duck Breast and Moroccan Chicken Tagine, sharing each dish. We had leftovers which were just as delicious the second day. Everything was top notch, recommend trying the carrots such a unique dish. The only disappointment is in ourselves for not going to Sister Ship sooner!

Sistership at the Faraway Hotel has a Nantucket Bay Scallop Aguachile that was INCREDIBLE. The chef, Nathan, truly doing something amazing there. The space is fabulously decorated, and it’s a must if you’re looking for a quick nosh + drinks (their mocktails are divine) with friends, or a full romantic dinner with your partner.

Charming garden area and porch perfect for a romantic celebration! The cocktails were inventive and well balanced. Service was crisp. The menu choices were rather mundane. Pork Ragu was solid but unremarkable. Halibut was well composed and fish was a perfect sear. I’d Come here for drinks and ambience not so much dinner…

Made a reservation for Saturday night during peak season. Very busy, but got seated right away on the back patio. Great ambiance, great vibes, and food was exceptional.
The server was also very careful with my wife’s nut and shellfish allergy so was able to accommodate and have the kitchen adjust several dishes accordingly. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a new-age Mediterranean vibe on Nantucket.
Highly recommend the Big Eye Tuna which is an absolute must-have, even without the hazelnut oil.
Our Sommelier (Sam) was very knowledgeable, was a pleasure to talk to and gave us the perfect pairings for our meal (not to mention dessert wine!).

The ornate interior and secret garden-like patio are accentuated by the attentive service and warm staff. It’s posh, but comfortable. A fun wine list, seasonal dishes, friendly service, and the best marg on island (the mermaid, + I’ll take it w/ mezcal plz) make this the place you want to be.
The menu changes regularly, sometimes weekly, highlighting local products. The carrots and patatas are required. Actually just order all the veg. The chicken tagine is a winter fave and the sear on the halibut is always perfect. My friends won’t stop talking about the mussels (enjoy w/ a glass of the Portuguese white).
Sister Ship is not just a pretty face — they deliver a quality dining experience with care and intention.

Ambiance, service and cocktails are all good. They really know how to make vegetables tasty and we appreciate how simple but effective the menu is. However, there could be just a few more options under each category to be more inclusive, and they also charged $6 for two pieces of toasted bread we asked for to dip the sauce with, which is a bit greedy even for us New Yorkers who are accustomed to overcharging, and that is why I docked a star.

Everything was perfect. We came from Croatia to this beautiful island and randomly chose to visit a restaurant — and we couldn’t have made a better decision! From the impeccable service provided by the waitstaff and assistants to the kitchen that prepares the most exquisite food on this rich island, everything exceeded our expectations. I honestly don’t even know where to begin. The experience was flawless, and the attention to detail made our visit truly unforgettable!!!

Had a 9 girl bachelorette dinner on 8/15 and it could not have been better at Sister Ship. The design aesthetic of the restaurant (even the perfumed washrooms) was both stimulating and soothing…
Then the food delivered by all-star Bobby. Every bite had me tossing my head back or hands in the air in ecstasy. The sauce with Harissa Chicken was a particular standout.
10/10 recommend on all fronts… including location!
