Innovative New American fare in posh environs & after-dinner drinks in the piano bar.

Great family place with a bar scene for adults. Outdoor seating was nice, quiet with a lovely view of the property and garden. Indoor seemed like more of a party scene with louder music but there seems to be a good balance between both. The food was all very good. Strip steak cooked to a perfect medium rare. Linguine was a little on the salty side but still pretty good. Clam chowder and arugula & watermelon salad was a great starter. Service was great. One of the better meals we’ve had on the island.

If I could leave more stars I would! This place was paradise, this is my first time to Nantucket and it was even better than I expected. Walking up to Sumner House was like walking into the sweetest setting of comfort and hospitality. The staff greeted us with such a warm welcome., we felt like we were at the most inviting home. Salvadore showed us to our cottage which was beyond charming, so quaint and lovely! We then went down to the bar area where we walked the beach for a bit then came back to the bar and had an amazing Lobster Roll and the greatest tomato and burratta salad I have ever had. The tomato was so incredible that I asked the manager where he orders them from and he told me there is a farm here called Bartlett Farms and he gets them from there everyday. I had to go myself and pick up some tomatoes which I brought home on the plane with me that is how delicious they were.
We also had dinner in their restaurant and when I say the best crab cake I have ever had I mean it, all crab, no filler… we ordered zucchini blossoms and they were beautiful, also had the tuna tataki and the main course was a spectacular bone in veal chop that was cooked to perfection!!! I can’t say enough about how magical this place is. This was the perfect ending to summer and I will cherish it forever.

This was our second time here, worth the ride. Happy to see they are back and better than ever. Need to come back for the beach area. One of the best filets we have ever tasted. Swordfish was amazing as well.

We had dinner here two nights ago and everything was excellent—from the food to the service. It was also great to see the manager on the floor, engaging with customers and making sure everyone was having a wonderful time. I Highly recommend it.

Great food and atmosphere, but expect to wait for your food for a while. My husband and I started off with drinks at the bistro first – down by the water. Loved the setup and the staff and bartender were very nice and attentive.
We then had dinner at the restaurant; we got the burrata with tomatoes (would’ve been extra nice if it came with crostini), tuna tartare, lamb chops and lobster fra diavolo. Everything was delicious! We also got a chocolate cake for dessert, but it was just chocolate cake. Nothing crazy. Host and wait staff were all very nice and we felt well taken care of.
We would definitely come back for dinner again, especially when we want to beat the crowds downtown!

My friends and I were treated like we were a joke. Yes we were dressed up, yes we came to the area to take images and enjoy the island but to treat us like we are some immature girls was disrespectful. CARLOS, do better. Act better. Don’t think you are better than us. People travel all over the word to this restaurant and to be treated like that is not kind at all. I will say the food was absolutely fantastic but the server needs to think about his actions.

Very good service.
The bartender Igor was amazing, I tried the NY strip and the burrata, both the food and the drinks were amazing and came out pretty quick.
The manager Atanasio was also on point, needed a reservation on the fly and they secured us a 6 top even tho the restaurant was busy.
Live music playing all night, this place is a must.

We had a group of 30, and the service was fantastic. The drinks flowed the whole time and were great. The apps and desserts were fabulous. The entrees were good, and portions were great. Liked the veal malanais more than the pasta dishes. The piano and singing after was so much fun!!

My girlfriend and I went here for what was supposed to be a nice date night. First, I made a reservation for outside, when I got there my table was taken which was not a big deal. I was on time but things happen. The hostess sat us in a couch with a drink while we waited for a table. When we finally got our table we noticed we did not get bread which was not a big deal until we noticed that every other table was being served bread.
When the waiter told us the specials, he went so fast that we couldn’t even hear what was being said. We overheard him tell the specials to the table behind us and he went slower and offered different accommodations that we did not get informed on.
We ordered a bottle of wine and while enjoying it, we noticed that other tables were being topped off regularly while we would finish a glass and have to wait for the glasses to be filled.
Finally, every one time our waiter would come to check on us, he would check on the other tables 2-3 times and barely give us the time or day. Bottom line, we felt that our $400 bill did not reflect the type of service that we should have gotten. The food was amazing but the service and hospitality was horrendous and this is not the first time I’ve had a bad experience here.
I would not recommend this place to any friends or family. If you’re looking for a restaurant of this caliber I’d cross this one off the list.
