I live in NYC, so this was our weekend escape. Nantucket is absolutely beautiful. We spent the day biking around the island and eventually found ourselves in this charming spot. Luckily, we arrived just before the lunch rush and were seated right away, no wait at all.
I don’t usually explore much when it comes to seafood, but something nudged me to try the poached seafood salad. It was the perfect choice for a hot day: refreshing, chilled, and bursting with flavor. It paired wonderfully with a crisp glass of prosecco. My friends had the lobster roll, huge compliments, it was delicious!

A very nice place with a great vibe. We went to celebrate my grandfather’s birthday, and everything was perfect. The service was extremely attentive, and the staff was very friendly! They truly made it the best birthday ever!

Food is expensive but you’re paying for the view and convenience of being very close to the beach. The staff was super friendly and thoughtfully brought out our kids meal with the appetizers without us having to ask. Relaxed environment for families. There seemed to be a pretty fun happy hour happening even though when didn’t partake. I think the overall quality of the food and service was pretty good.

Gorgeous spot for lunch close to the beach. Quite private and I was surprised at how good it was given the 3.5 star rating. This is not a bar on the beach and footwear is required so maybe other reviewers, like me, were expecting something a bit more basic and not so pricey. $28 for the humus plate, which I enjoyed but is probably the most I’ve paid anywhere for a humus appetiser.

You’re paying for the location which is beautiful if the weather is nice. We got the wings, the tuna tartar, and the Tiramisu. The food was fine. The menu is large and varied, with a great selection but the prices are on the higher end even for Nantucket. They were out of the main ingredient for the house cocktail which was disappointing. I paid $17 for a basic Tito’s and cran in a disposable plastic cup but there was very good live music and a relaxed atmosphere. We will visit again.

Great food had the Margherita pizza. Read some reviews about management and business hours. Opened right in time for us and is a beautiful spot to eat relax and have a drink by the beach. Free wifi as well.

We are here at the Cottages for an extended staycation, and so dining at the Bistro for many meals. The staff, ambiance, and experience of the Bistro is astoundingly lovely. Lily the hostess is super pleasant and accomodating of our often showing up a bit late. Phillipe the barman makes great drinks and has a fantastic playlist. The waitstaff hustle like you can’t believe. I like to enjoy a predinner drink. The wine list has what you need. We never feel rushed in any way. The tables are appropriately spaced apart for Covid compliance, and we feel absolutely safe here. The oysters are freshly shucked and great. The tuna tartar and octopus are great starters. The burger is a fantastic blend and tastes delicious. The NY Strip is over-the-top the best steak I have had – multiple times now. For seafood, you can enjoy cod or flounder or halibut. All are delightful. The vegetable sides are scrumptious. I can’t comment on the pasta dishes because I am gluten intolerant. For dessert, they have gelato. The salted caramel and the cherry vanilla are “to die for.” All in all, don’t hesitate to come for lunch or dinner. Be forewarned though that if you don’t have a reservation, you may have to wait. Oh, and they have several tables down on the sand. Dining under the stars was a memorable occasion (dress warmly since it can be windy, or ask for a blanket). Enjoy!

This is a must for us when we visit Nantucket. The surroundings are absolutely gorgeous and truly serene. The servers have always been super nice, and the food is very good. True, it’s a bit pricey, but like other reviewers have said, you’re paying for the incredible scenery – and we think it’s worth it!

Not even a 1 star. Disgusting! Workers, food, and whole atmosphere. Worst restaurant on Nantucket, for sure! The workers need lots of training/common knowledge and the chef probably needs a beginners cooking lesson.

The food is nothing special. I ordered the Hummus platter that supposed to have feta cheese but came without it. The service was a little bit disorganized.
