We came here first for a cocktail before we our reservations down the street. The atmosphere was comfortable and the bartender was very friendly and professional. The next night, we came back and the same bartender made some excellent suggestions. The food was very good and service friendly.

This spring, we finally made it to The Pearl. What a great experience! The food was exotic but still accessible with interesting sauces and preparations, pleasing relaxed ambiance, and impeccable service.

We recently visited Nantucket for our Anniversary. We made a reservation (definitely recommended during the busy season). Queequeg's is located on a quiet side street. We had an outdoor table and the weather was perfect. We started with Lobster bisque (delicious) and beet salad which was also very good. I had shrimp scampi and my husband had duck. Both of our meals were delicious. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. Service was very good and we did not feel rushed. The staff was very pleasant and professional. Pricing was competitive with area restaurants...we felt it was reasonable and the portions were generous. We enjoyed the meal very much. Good location to have quiet conversation during a busy season.

This is the type of pricey restaurant where you want everything to be perfect. The first small disappointment was the $49 peppercorn filet my husband ordered medium but it arrived medium well (almost no pink to be found in the meat) with hardly any flavor. It might be considered a good cut of meat but we wanted perfection and my husband was too hungry to complain about the over-cooked meat. However my $42 halibut tasted amazing. The second small disappointment was the port wine we ordered with our dessert. Listed on the menu for $15 but put on our bill at $16. The kind waiter explained he delivered an old dessert menu by accident. Again just missed the opportunity to make things perfect by offering to match the menu price we were given.Nantucket has so many phenomenal restaurants at high but not incredibly high pricing that itâs hard to justify spending the extra $10 a plate over everywhere else on the island. If everything had been perfect then I would be bragging about the setting and the incredible staff and saying I understand why itâs more money then other places but thatâs not my review due to only a couple of small disappointments.Dear Sulouwill,I'm so sorry to read your review..... You "small" disappointment are disappointing to read....My apologies about your husband's steak, I wish he would have said something so we could have grilled him another "perfect" steak as I agree that an overcooked steak is disappointing to say the least. Glad you loved your Halibut and I would love to brag about the incredible setting overlooking the Nantucket Harbor and seeing the boats/ferries come and go all day/evening.....I certainly hope you and your husband will give us another chance to show you our true BPG experience!! When returning, please reach out to me directly at [email protected] or via phone at 508.638.3417.... Cheers,Mark BronkeDirector of Food & BeverageWhite Elephant Hotel - Nantucket

CRU is a premier oyster bar offering casually elegant cuisine in a visually stunning waterfront setting on Nantucket harbor.
Reviewed By debbiem17
Great vibe at this spot on the harbor! Enjoyed champagne and oysters during restaurant week! We were looking for a nice spot with a view to have lunch and our driver from our hotel suggested Cru.. My husband had a lobster salad which he enjoyed. I noticed at another table that the lobster roll looked huge and the lady even said to her partner that she was really happy with her choice . I had a salad with grilled chicken. My only issue was that I donât like blue cheese dressing and unfortunately the waiter could only offer red wine vinegar as a substitute. Hard to believe they only have one salad dressing??? It was supposed to come with grapes , walnuts and apples. It did not have any of these and when I asked about it I was brought a bowl of grapes. Weird. Otherwise I would give the place a 5 star review. I think our waiter had a difficult time understanding me. Will try it again though.

This is the restaurant in the hotel where we stayed. I had the blueberry pancakes and they were the best pancakes I have ever had. Ate there again and had the biscuits and gravy (being from the south, I was very skeptical) but they were melt in your mouth good.

Reviewed By PebleBeach7thGrn
This place is near perfection. I've been coming here for over a handful of years, now. The views can't be beat, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, lots of fresh food. My fav sandwich, the Maine Ave, was straight steak and sautéed mushrooms in a grinder roll with horseradish sauce. It came with a summer salad of chickpeas, couscous, cilantro, tomato, lemon juice, and some other magic. To my great disappointment, this item isn't on the menu anymore. It's available somewhat as a quesadilla, but it's hardly the same. (And the $5 charge to tack on some summer salad is bogus.) The Madaket Mystery remains a swell cocktail despite the steep price. Service is typically a bit strained - the place is frequently hoppin' - but usually friendly. Perhaps because I am a glutton for punishment, or because I can hold out hope for impossible things, I will keep going back with dreams of my beloved Maine Ave.

3. Straight Wharf

Reviewed By TMFConcord
Had dinner at this restaurant last night and the experience was disappointing. We've eaten at Straight Wharf before and enjoyed it. After reading some reviews, I would like to echo that the service was not good. We waited over 20 minutes before anyone approached our table, even to offer a glass a water. When the server did approach us, his demeanor was snarky to be kind. It was then another 20 minutes to get our drinks and even longer for their delicious bread. Also, no mention of the evening's specials. I overhead the server telling these to another table. There are so many outstanding restaurants here with excellent service that our experience was disappointing. We have had great experiences this summer at Ship's Inn, Galley Beach, Boarding House, Summer House (before the fire), Cru and The Pearl. Here, the food was good, as always, but the service was lacking. Add to that the new 2 percent add on for kitchen staff and we will be taking a break from Straight Wharf.

Wednesday night. 6:30 reservation. It is after Labor Day. Everybody is supposed to have left the Island. But......Can hardly find a parking spot! Inside, it is NOISY. The place is absolutely loaded. All tables full. It seems that everyone is sitting with half glasses of wine.....just sitting and waiting and waiting for their main courses. So I began to wonder if we made a mistake coming here. We didn't!!Huge menu. Huge wine and booze lists. My wife had two apps instead of a main course. Tuna Poke...superb. A funky potato dish--- 1000 layer duck fat potato with malt vinegar aioli! Now that was amazingly delicious!!! I had a really large caesar salad, considering it was a 'side' salad...and then the always reliable cod with lobster mashed potatoes.....excellent, but not as exciting or great as my wife's apps. $100 for two. Worth every nickel. Great waiter...and didn't have to wait very long for the main course. Don't miss this place! (Big parking lot behind it!)
