Had a great meal. Shanice was our waitress and she was amazing. They have a great wine list, literally over a 1000 options. The food was great. The best part is that my wife has many allergies and when I made our reservation I made mention of these and they had them prepped, relayed them to us and were able to her modify dinner and did a great job the whole time making sure that we knew they were aware of the allergies.

The food here was good but let me tell you about this salad!
Don’t miss out on the best dish you’ll ever put in your mouth. The kale and cabbage salad! Despite the very unassuming name, it was the best salad I’ve ever had in my whole life and I would go back to Nantucket just for this (I wouldn’t split with my husband next time). Just trust me and get it! Still thinking about it days later.

We took the 5:00 pm ride on the Wauvinet Lady from the White Elephant in town to the Wauvinet Hotel. We were told that this was the last ride of the season. The boat was fairly basic and small. We expected something with a little more character. We were a little packed in. Some folks had rain jackets on and that was the right call since during the ride there were a few times when we got splashed by salty water. The captain pulled a canopy in the front of the boat and that helped. I would not wear one’s finest as my jacket got smudged at a few places while on the little boat.
Our dinner was at 6:00 pm. We requested to be seated under the awnings where the heaters kept us warm. We chose to have the following appetizers-
The day boat scallops – 5/5 Probably one of the best scallops we have had. Well prepared, plopped on a decadent corn bisque, and topped with miso sauce. Absolutely delicious.
The asparagus ravioli – 4/5 Looked great. Taste was good too. But expected it to lean more towards the asparagus, where was the dish was actually leaning more towards ricotta ravioli.
For the entrees we had –
Lobster – 3/5 Good but not great
Sea bass – 5/5. Very well done. Crispy skin, with soft flesh. The bean minestrone (more like a brodo) was wonderful.
For desert we had –
Peach pavlova – 5/5 very delicious
Chocolate desert – 3/5 Good, but not great
Most of the food not only tasted well, the way they were presented would rival the looks of dishes at restaurants that posses 2-3 Michelin stars.
Dennis, the Somm, helped us select a lesser known bottle of white wine from the basque region which was lovely. David the manager was very nice and attentive. Our server was lovely as well.
Once the sun set, the sky was ablaze in a sockeye salmon red. We left our table a few times to take pictures by the water with that amazing sky in the background.Overall, we had an amazing experience. We eschewed the return boat ride and just took a ride back to town. During our next visit to the island we will definitely dine here, but perhaps skip the boat ride.

We took their boat, The Wauwinet Lady, over to the Toppers for lunch. Fabulous way to travel to lunch! Loved it. Our server was very polite and professional. My husband loved the halibut. The chicken crepe had two very hard pieces in it. That was very unpleasant! Portions are small and pricey.

Toppers was delicious. Apologies for all the half eaten food pictures, but we all just dove right in once we were served.
Burger was perfectly cooked
The crab & lobster cakes super tasty
The pizza might have only been a 4/5 but still a solid option.
Table bread is homemade and did not disappoint

Food was good but not great. The service was incredible. Our lead server, Adam, and his crew could not have been more attentive. The facilities and the grounds are beautiful. Perfect sunset on the harbor on a chilly August evening. If you are seated inside it’s a fixed three-course menu. If you are seated outside on the porch they offer an alternative more casual deck menu. The cellular service in the area is spotty at best so plan ahead if you use Uber.

Great place on a good day when the sunshine’s! Good cocktails, decent service. Sunday brunch in the closed patio with friends on a rainy day. Bacon was perfectly browned and crispy. The brunch entrees seemed terribly overpriced.

Toppers provide you with an entire experience. You can dine inside (fine dining), on the deck, on the sun chairs, or all the way down on the beach deck. Great place to grab a coctail and enjoy the sunset.
The view is amazing.
The food is good. They start you with delicious bread. Some dishes are better than another. Couple plates deserve to be recognized – the blue fish pate is delicious, chicken is season great, the Cheesecake baklava is to die for it.
Drinks are ok. They did not wow me personally. Great wine collection.
Service is great !
One tip: You can book a boat ride for free from White elephant to the Toppers, have lunch or dinner, and return back to town.
The boat ride was amazing. We enjoy the great island views, and we learned interesting facts for the island.
Also, the beach chairs are open to public after 5 pm.

Went here for dinner. We had a 615 pm reservation and seated precisely on time. The service was perfectly timed and allowed us the space to converse while still being very well attended to.
We did the chef’s menu, which was a fantastic experience. Their wine selection was on point.
The dessert choices were also well paired with our dinner.
