Carrot cake! A very large portion for a group to share.
Andrea R.

One of the best meals we ate in Martha's Vineyard. They do not take reservations so go early or I promise you there will be a wait. However it is worth it! We ate shrimp aquachile, swordfish, scallops, tomato salad and carrot cake for dessert. Everything was excellent! Our server was excellent. He knew the menu well and offered us many suggestions!

Oysters!

A lovely place for lunch, sitting on the shaded patio with our puppy.The host is wonderful, friendly & funny. I heard another couple tell him that they loved the food but they came back for him! We were seated, and promptly served cold water and they brought a bowl of water for the dog too. We have dined her previously and knew whatever we chose would be good. The menu has so many delicious items but we kept it to 4 things to share. We had 8 oysters...4 Honeysuckle (our favorite) and 4 Top Shell, which are new to us. Both came from Katama, so ultra-local. They were served ice cold and with 3 sauces. We had one of each just with lemon (incredible) and then one with the kimchi purée and one with the mignonette. Delicious! Then we shared the prosciutto wrapped & grilled mozzarella, which came with a little side of cooked cherry tomatoes, halibut sashimi with delicious house made vinegar chips, and an order of their amazing French fries (which is what brought us there in the first place. Just an absolutely wonderful lunch.

Oysters $4 EACH

**BEST MEAL EVER** AMBIANCE (4/5): It was a nice sunny day and they had plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the sun and people watch (although there weren't many people walking by). SERVICE (4/5): There weren't many tables, but service was good. We weren't in a rush and taking our time, so it was the perfect pace for us. FOOD (5/5): EVERYTHING WAS A 10/10! $4 EACH PER OYSTER: we tried the signature, honeysuckle, and top shell. They were all delicious and served with a vinegar, kimchee slaw, and cocktail sauce. All of them were so refreshing and great as an appetizer! $23 TUNA CARPACCIO: fresh, lemon sauce & crunchy tobiko eggs. The presentation is immaculate! $22 BLUE CRAB SLIDER: the homemade chips it comes with is AMAZING! Love any homemade chips. Served on a sweet Hawaiian roll, it's beautifully plated and blue crab is better than lobster in my opinion! $15 HOUSE MADE CHOWDER: can't go wrong with chowder! $36 HERB BAKED COD: so perfectly seasoned and cooked so it's soft but flaky. Comes à la carte. DRINKS (5/5): $19 PUMPKIN ESPRESSO MARTINI: this was a seasonal drink and it was SOOO GOOD! $20 BACON OLD FASHIONED: this was EVEN BETTER than the pumpkin martini! Candied bacon, and a perfectly crafted cocktail.

We have been coming to 19 raw for the past couple of summers but we have only ever eaten there for lunch so I was excited to try it for dinner. I went with a group of girlfriends on Tuesday night and we had a great evening. While my preference is to sit on the patio for lunch, the dining room is a wonderful vibe at dinner. I loved my pork chop that I ordered for my main course and also thoroughly enjoyed the steamed asparagus, roasted carrots and smoked tomato grits. Our waiter, Nash, was a standout and really facilitated a smooth dining experience. We ordered a few desserts to share but the clear winner was the carrot cake which was a knock out. We will be back for lunch this summer but are also thrilled to have this on our list for dinner.

Fish of the day, amazing and lemony and two people could share
Evin G.

This is a fantastic place to go as a large group. The snapper could feed three people and was crispy but also delicate, the lamb was cooked perfectly, the fish of the day was fresh and lemony. The curry mussels were so good everyone was using the sauce on other items. We had a 10 person group and everyone got to share. Surprisingly, my favorite item was the carrots side. It had a delicious sauce and was tender and sweet. The broccolini would have been good but it was very undercooked and hard to eat. The crawfish and lobster pasta was overcooked and a little mushy. Those are the only two items out of a ton of items that I didn't like. Everything else was delicious and I would order again. I would also go back and try other things on the menu that we didn't get.

Baked cod with a side of goat cheese mashed potatoes

I visited this place last summer and had an amazing experience. The food was beautifully presented and full of flavor -- especially the halibut, which was my favorite dish. The cocktails were excellent, and the atmosphere was absolutely perfect. The staff was warm and welcoming. Truly one of my favorite dining experiences. I will definitely be back!

Best muscles ever. Everything else average. Hostess needs training and waitresses not much better. Go for muscles and leave.

Went for dinner last night. Very friendly service and greeting. We were seated upstairs, which was…read morea surprise. I've probably been here 5 times and never realized there was an upstairs! We were given menus and water, and after about 15 minutes the server came to tell us the special. We asked if we could order drinks, and we did. They came fairly quickly and were very good. Then we waited about 25 minutes and finally had to get the servers attention to order our dinner. That was a bit surprising, to wait that long without anyone coming to check on us. In any case, once we ordered the food arrived in a timely fashion. My Little Gem salad was delicious, with roasted squash and cornbread crumbles. The menu said crab, but I'm not sure it was on there. One issue with the upstairs, while it is cozy it is dark so it made it difficult to see the food. My husband loved his tuna tartare (as did I ) and our guest enjoyed her Little Gem salad. She had informed the waitress that she has Alpha Gal, so they left off the cornbread crumbles, and brought a little side ramekin of the crispy chicken skin crumbles that they use on their chicken dish. Very considerate! My main course of black cod was outstanding! The menu stated that it came on a saffron infused lobster fregola, which turned out to be small balls of pasta (sort of like Israeli couscous) and it was amazing. Big chunks of lobster were included, which was totally unexpected. The fish was perfectly cooked, with the skin crispy. My husband's pork chop was amazing. The flavor was spectacular! It came with a wild mushroom risotto, which he loved. He doesn't "like" mushrooms and he said if he had read that detail on the menu (again, sort of dark) he might not have ordered it. But now he said he would again! Our guest was so happy with her Alpha Gal friendly pan seared halibut. We were all so happy with the meal, despite the delay initially with the service. A very lovely evening, and surprisingly for us, no leftovers!

Dined here with two friends on a recent Friday night in May. We made our reservation with only a…read moreweek to spare and as such were only able to secure an outdoor table. It was still quite chilly outside but we were sandwiched between two heaters which made it very manageable. Our waitress was wonderful and service was incredibly prompt which I appreciate because I have noticed that service on the island is generally more relaxed (i.e. slow). For appetizers we shared the baby gem salad and the pork bolognese. Both good but the pork bolognese was a small but mighty star. Pasta was perfectly al dente and we really enjoyed the goat cheese with the pork. For our mains we ordered the pork chop, halibut and mushroom lasagna. The portions were large and we were all satisfied with our orders (though the pork chop was quite salty). Enjoyed this enough that I would for sure come back.

The restaurant is a beautiful, elegant but cozy spot. The outdoor seating is absolutely beautiful for a nice evening. We were there right at opening and were seated outside fairly quickly! Our waiter was welcoming and pleasant. Wished me a happy birthday (multiple times) but nice. There was a cute birthday card at the table but nothing more (most high end establishments usually offer a glass of champs, but I digress ) The menu is moderate not overwhelming with too many options. How do you NOT start your meal with Oysters Rockefeller when they are on the menu? Great choice, they were creamy and delicious. I am typically not a pasta girl but something was calling me about the Mushroom Bolognese! So....I ordered it. Along with a glass of Filipa Pato, which was fabulous! The pasta was phenomenal and I don't use that word lightly, it was amazing. My friend ordered the Bobo's Two Pound Wok Fired Island Lobster and she loved it. She paired her meal with a Smokey old fashioned. No notes! So after a great meal we a bought the check and offer up two cards for our separate checks. Somehow our waiter ends up charging both checks to my credit card. I didn't realize it until the next day. How does that happen. An almost perfect review, but attention to detail matters. Would I return, absolutely! Go enjoy!

Everything was very "americanized" - which in this case meant tons of cream and sugar in every single dish. We got the chicken tenders for my toddler and those were actually good. The garlic naan had raw garlic on top, which made for a pretty unpleasant taste. The palak paneer and the malai kofta honestly tasted like nothing - just cream and sugar. NOT the experience or taste I was looking for, sadly. The paneer tikka was the one dish I enjoyed. They put hot mustard oil on top - it can be a strong flavor, but it worked in my opinion. They did bring a coloring page and crayons for my toddler, which I appreciated. While I am a little flabbergasted by the excellent reviews, I can see how folks that didn't grow up to indian food would enjoy their offerings. Overall, 2.5 - 3 stars for me.

The restaurant is so cozy, the service is always quick and friendly, they have an outstanding tequila selection and the food is tremendous. I went with a big group of girlfriends on Wednesday night so we were able to sample a plethora of dishes from the current menu and let me tell you, they all slapped. We had the taleggio agnolotti, rabbit pappardelle, sunchokes, foccacia, halibut, scallops, pork schnitzel and duck leg cassoulet. Truly all of the food was outstanding but my favorites were the cassoulet, rabbit pasta and the halibut. The pork was good but do note that it is a positively enormous amount of food! We were so full that we almost skipped dessert but we had to try just a couple of things so we ordered the Dubai chocolate ice cream and the sticky toffee pudding which were both great but the ice cream was the favorite. I love Sweet Life and wish I could transport it home with me to eat there year round!
