Amazing atmosphere and views. Our server Brianca was so kind and the food is to die for!!!!

I often give long stories but I'm pooped tonight , so I'll get right to scores... Ambience 4.7 Service 5.0 Apps Cucumbers 2.3. I like vingner, they didn't taste much of any marinade ,loaded with sesame seeds. I hoped for a pickled cucumber but it was very plain. Dumplings 4.8 Cornbread 5.0+ Best I've ever had. Oysters. 4.3 -4.6 Fried chicken 4.4 Hanger steak - great potential with potential but sadly it came cold... So a 4.0 goes down to a 2.9. And 2 orders both cold :-( Hot Dog. 3.5...I thought it tasted like a 1.9. But the person eating it more like a 3.5. Depends on ones taste, to me it sure didn't taste like a hotdog so final score goes to person ordering and eating 90%of it and she liked it enough for 3.5 Finally, those were the hardest wooden chairs I in my life ever sat it... Awful... 1.0 felt like sitting on metals bars My ass is sore ... All the cocktails were very good 3.9-4.0 read more

4.5 Came here for dinner, 3 of us, thinking we had made a reservation which apparently didn't go through. But they graciously squeezed us in (although were moved half way through). Really beautiful setting and ambience. Some dishes were amazingly delicious like the Brussels , the fish, the butterscotch pudding. Boulliabase was disappointing for me - very salty. But overall a great dinner and night! read more

We capped off our day trip to MV with dinner at Beach Road, and the meal did not disappoint! We came as a large group for a celebration, and both the service and the sunset views were phenomenal. The vibes felt very relaxed and charming, yet still sophisticated and upscale at the same time. Service was attentive and friendly, and they were very knowledgeable about the menu. All of the seafood that we ate was delicious - the hamachi crudo was fresh with well-balanced flavors, and the spanish octopus was tender. We got the atlantic cod and bouillabaisse as mains, both excellent. Would definitely return for a special night out! read more

Celebrated our wedding anniversary at Beach Road. Last year we celebrated at State Road, and they had a little gift for us and recognized the event. I informed Beach Road when I made the reservation, but they didn't acknowledge it at all. So that was the disappointing part. However, the food was great and our server, Sam C. was wonderful. She really made it fun and special. My husband had the lamb meatballs and loved them. (I don't like lamb.) I tried the shrimp tempura appetizer, and it was delicious! 6 delicious shrimp and some tempura green beans too. Highly recommend. Fun drinks too. My grilled pineapple and ginger infused tequila cocktail was delicious. My husband loved his bourbon amaro cocktail too. We both commented that the flavors were distinct and layered, and they weren't too sweet. My main course bouillabaisse was delicious, with the largest aioli toast! Flavor was spot on. It's difficult to find a mixed shellfish dish on Martha's Vineyard, that isn't a pasta. My husband loved his lobster pasta, with lots of lobster. We shared the delicious chocolate mousse cake with fresh berries. Again, not too sweet! The decor is very nice, with a beautiful view of the pond, if it is light out. One thing, pillows for the banquet seats would be helpful. Both I, and the woman in the next seat over, were trying to stuff our coats behind us to make the seating more comfortable. read more

Beach Road is one of my favorite restaurants on Martha's Vineyard. From their Mocktails and Cocktails. The brilliant wine list always charms and the freshest seafood and vegetables grace your plate. Portions are not overwhelming and the service is kind and personal. I feel welcome always. The view at dusk is superlative. Where else has windows like this? World class food. Simply prepared, with love. And those oysters!!!! read more

I can't say enough about this place! The food is top notch. Hats off to the chief! The owners are just wonderful people. Very friendly! Very personable. The wait staff is great! Very intentive. Prices are reasonable. For high quality food :) Don't go anywhere else! Go here for the best experience of the vineyard! read more

To die for food. I started with the lamb chops and the cocktail 'love+ happiness'. I would come back just for the lamb chops. I also had a dirty martini, which was perfection and the New York Strip. This is the best restaurant on the vineyard in my opinion (I've tried them all), I will be back. My bartender Adrienne was amazing and had wonderful service! read more

5 friends, a few apps, some house Chardonnay and a really really good seasonal salad. The Apps Blustered shishito The $12 bread The Entrees Tempura Shrimp Clam Chowder Zucchini Wraps Something else that was good that I can't remember The Salads Excellent Caesar not drowned in dressing Summer Peach Burrata -peaches were sweet and tender but *didn't* taste like sugar was added. Burrata was creamy. No hassle about dressing on the side. Thank you, Chef! Everything was great. Service was well-coordinated. After Labor Day, so the restaurant was quietly humming and we had a very leisurely dinner. Highly recommend for the view and quality of food. read more

Ambiance is great. Staff were fine. The food was a disappointment. I ordered the Ahi tuna. Tuna quality was so so and served w over cooked eggplant. A strange and unappealing combination. The halibut entree was smaller than expected and mediocre. It came with 4 little necks, for $48? Psssh. read more

During our trip to Martha's Vineyard last fall, we visited Beach Road Restaurant. We arrived shortly before they opened for dinner, and there were more than a handful of people waiting outside. We didn't make a reservation, but we were able to get counter seats before it filled up. We started our dinner with some cocktails. I ordered Sangria and my hubby ordered Gentleman's Agreement. Sangria didn't look like Sangria, it had no fruit, and not fruity at all, and not sweet. Gentleman's Agreement was inventive and creative. I liked it much more than the Sangria. For appetizer, we ordered Brioche Bread with Chive Butter. It was impressive just to look at, beautifully baked to golden color, with soft, fluffy, cloud-like inside. The chive butter was great too. I totally understand the popularity of it. After just one bite, you will also fall in love with this loaf... Oysters, half dozen comes in an order, three different kinds. The oysters were fresh, not fishy, and delicious! For main, I chose Lobster Linguini. First few bites were sinful and delightful, but then it became a bit too salty for me. The flavor of the dish was great though, if it were just slightly less salty, it would have been perfect. My hubby chose Halibut, it was so good! Perfectly crunchy on top, with flaky and moist fillet, delicious! We had a lovely dinner there, with tasty drinks and food. I definitely recommend the Brioche, it is to die for! read more

Amazing cocktails. Great service. Beautiful setting. Excellent meal... crab toast, grilled octopus (one of the best I've had), fried chicken (also one of the best I've had). The only disappointment was the butterscotch pudding dessert (not much taste). our server asked me what I thought about the butterscotch pudding and I told her I didn't like it... she took it off our bill. Very nice gesture and she got it all back on her tip. I'll be back! read more

As our stay in Chilmark, Martha's Vineyard was coming to an end, decided to travel to Vineyard Haven for a meal. Had tried take-out from State Road (sister restaurant) during the pandemic) and thought Beach Road should be a good choice. The setting was welcoming with a beautiful view of Lagoon Pond. Four of us shared a Summer Salad, Pan con Tomate and Lamb Meatballs complimented by cocktails. The salad consisting of local greens, cukes, strawberries, feta and sunflower seeds with a champagne vinaigrette tasted as if the ingredients had just been picked up from a garden. The sourdough toast and roasted tomatoes were enhanced with garlic confit, white anchovies and chives. The lamb meatballs had fregola and a harissa yogurt. As I write this review I still can not decide which of the appetizers was the best Two people had the Artic Char, and we also had the Lobster Pasta and Bouillabaisse. The main dishes were superb and my Bouillabaisse was extraordinary. The Butterscotch whiskey pudding and Crostata with berries were a delicious way to end a superb meal. Taryn deserves our compliments as well, since she delivered outstanding service which complemented the kitchen staff. read more

Myself and two friends ate here last night . Service and ambiance were good however our entree described as pork ragu on top of dumplings came with 4 huge slabs of bread, not dumplings. It was too much and not as described, disappointing. read more

I have been here several times and it never disappoints. The food is delicious with incredible plating and even more incredible taste. The server was knowledgeable and made us feel like we were old friends. The owner and hostesses were very warm and charming. The bartender was delightful. The beautiful decor is fitting with the location and the scenery. It is on the lagoon and is one of the most beautiful spots on the island. I can't say enough about this gem. It is one of the best meals I have had. read more

Great (and creative) food offerings, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service - including a perfect dry martini and oysters at the bar before dinner. Highly recommend! read more

Outstanding food and beautiful scenery inside and out! We had dined at the sister restaurant, State Road, previously, so we had high hopes. The food did not disappoint. We had the fried chicken and the NY strip loin, which were both outstanding. The strip loin tasted like it was cold smoked, making it incredibly flavorful. The fried chicken was crispy and moist with great spicy accompaniments. Our young daughter was accommodated with some buttered noodles with Parmesan cheese. We ordered the freshly baked cornbread too with honey butter for an appetizer too, which is a must have! It came late, so we were comped it at the end. Cocktails were great too. Service was okay, not overly friendly or attentive, but got the job done. Overall, highly recommend for a special night out. read more

Wow. What a great evening at BeachRoad. There were 8 of us, we don't see each other often enough and we wanted a nice dinner together. There are so many possible wrong answers to that question, but thankfully, BeachRoad is one really right one. We had a reservation and were seated on time, at a table set up to be both roomy enough and close enough to each other for the conversation to work one end to the next. We started with the cornbread which was so perfect I am afraid that my adjectives cannot do it justice. Sweet, light, warm, fluffy, moist, and melty in your mouth. Even better with a tiny smidge of the room temperature butter. Mmmm hmm. We had two orders for the 8 of us and I am sure we all wanted twice that but we exercised restraint. Then some very fresh oysters and shrimp bisque. The bisque was thin and a little spiced and had lemograss read more

If you enjoy paying top dollar for mediocre food and bad service this is your place. Anybody that checks my reviews can tell that I am very understanding of how difficult it is to operate a restaurant BUT this place is poorly run, mismanaged and overpriced in comparison to a basic clam shack up the road. Not only is the food of average quality but the wait staff will attempt to pad the bill with unnecessary charges and when management is confronted with this deceitful practice they blame the customer. I was told "if that's your opinion" as if I am a con artist. If you want good food go to Sandy's up the block or for a nice Lobster net result next door. read more

Beach Road - Lobster Pasta - Seafood Near Me - Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts

This is a pretty restaurant with a great view. We went for $1 oysters and drinks. One big disappointment: oyster special is 5-6 pm. We arrived at 5:15. All bar seats were already occupied by oyster fans. They save all the regular tables for dinner eaters, though most of those tables were still empty at 6. We waited in the entry way, and finally got bar seats at 5:50, and placed our oyster order. We had an excellent and chipper bartender, with a cool short haircut and many tattoos. She got us happy again. The oysters were from a farm in MV. I have been spoiled by good Wellfleet oysters on Cape, and these MV ones were not as good. But good enough! We tried two drinks from their seasonal cocktail menu plus one traditional martini with Hendrix gin. Their devised recipes too sweet. The traditional good, but no olives??? Regular menu looks good. Moral of story: get there before 5 for $1 oysters. Enjoy the lovely view. I liked how they show off their bread when you enter. read more

Who knew cabbage could taste so good! Favorite thing we ordered I think. I've also been getting the lobster pasta every time I've went since last year because it's so damn good. Everything 10/10. Didn't have a reservation but luckily got seated at the bar! read more

Went for dinner the other night. The local oysters were fine. Compared to the "spear points oysters I had in February they were good but listless. Dinner was fine. Two weeks later we had to look at the menu to remind us what we had. Prime cut of (?) steak with marrow spread was good Pasta with (?) seafood was ok But for $200.00 bucks plus a good tip should be memorable for us working restaurant slobs read more

Great menu and sister restaurant to a favorite, State Rd. They make a conscious effort to have different menus at each restaurant. Highly recommend both of them from this restaurant group. read more

We came here a couple nights ago after having made the reservation several weeks ago. We wanted to invite an extra family member and when we called to change the reservation, the hostess gave us SUCH a hassle and made it seem as if our party of 5 was already going to be a tight squeeze. And what's the scene when we get there? Half empty tables and we are at a 6-top that could EASILY accommodate 7 people. That's the problem with this place: it's just way too self-important. Drinks are good. We were personally unimpressed with the oysters although someone else at our table thought they were fine. Caesar salad was great. And we loved everything about the sea scallops app except that they were barely lukewarm--gross. The sourdough bread was tough and did not taste fresh but we loved the shallot butter. For dinner, all of us shared the lobster linguine (favorite dish of the night; seriously delicious with a healthy amount of lobster); the fried chicken was pretty good but didn't seem like anything extraordinary; hot dog was pretty good!; halibut divided the table--two of us enjoyed it and two of us didn't love it. Serving it with the eggplant was certainly unique. For dessert, we ordered the dark chocolate pistachio bar, which was delicious, and not sure what we were expecting but it was a literal chocolate bar, like the ones that you can pick up in Whole Foods. I mean, OK, but in a restaurant? Service got the job done but had a hauteur that we did not appreciate (see above re. self-importance). So, overall, some aspects of the meal were wonderful and others less so. We wish this place hadn't fudged up our reservation because then we would have been in better spirits about it. Three stars for now--curious if this place will make it for the long haul on the Vineyard. read more

We enjoy the food and oysters here while overlooking the bay. The staff is friendly and efficient. Food comes out pretty quickly and the room is comfortable. read more

2 stars because the waitress was great. Food gets a 1 star. I ordered the boullabaise. The menu states head on shrimp, lobster, cod, clams and mussels. No lobster, no cod, one head on shrimp, enough clams and mussels. Not much for $48. Very disappointing. We won't be back. read more

Probably the best food on the island. It's not too fussy yet it's refined. It's fresh and it's delicious. All of meat, fish and vegetable prep were great. And the view and the cocktails were also terrific. read more

The only reason this place isn't getting a 0 is because once seated the service was fine. Upon arrival after making a reservation 2 other parties were seated before us despite arrhh ig ving after we did and I overheard both saying their reservations were after ours. After waiting 30 minutes to be seated we finally were at arguably the worst table in the house. As stated above our waitress was great, wish I'd gotten her name. The food was subpar at best. After ordering we were informed that the table seated right before us (the ones who arrived after us and had a reservation at a later time than us) had ordered the last of one of the dishes we'd heard about and frankly was the only reason we decided to go. The clam chowder was more of a soup than anything as it was watery and tasted more of miso than of clams, the crab rolls tasted of chives and mayo exclusively. I got zero crab flavor in the entire dish despite it seemingly being filled with crab. The brussel sprouts were good but all in all I left hungrier than when I arrived and was out a good sum of money because of the subpar food. Many better places on the island to go and some within walking distance. I would definitely not recommend. read more

Beautiful restaurant and the view is quite nice. The service is good. Food is good but over priced.

Updated to five stars because more covid friendly and service was faster! Favorites were the scallops and toast appetizers and lobster linguini still fire. Chicken meatballs seemed to be hyped up too much on prior reviews , but really no complaints to be made. Good work beach road read more

The ambiance and venue has a great blend of new and island traditional. Very quaint and comfy! The food was good, nothing great. The bouillabaisse was bland so a bit disappointing as the seafood was good - just nothing special. The frisee salad was too much frisée and not enjoyable to eat without more variety to break up the stem lettuce. The fries were yummy! The drinks good! read more

Found this place on Pinterest and I'm so glad I did! This place was probably the highlight of my trip to MV. Monday through Saturday 5-6 you MUST try their "buck a shuck" oysters. I've never had oysters this delicious, ever. Get there a little before 5 so you get a seat at the bar, as this deal is promoted for at the bar only. The first time we went we weren't aware how limited the bar seats were, thankfully they were accommodating enough to let us sit at a high top right next to the bar and get the oyster deal. They were so good that we ordered 4 dozen between the 4 of us! Beautiful ambience, nice water view. And they sell cute little trinkets, fairly over priced but cute nonetheless. Definitely will be back for oysters and dinner! read more

This acclaimed restaurant delivered exceedingly good environment, particularly as we visited today before the peak season. The views through the windows, as well as the reflection of such in the wide mirror at the back of the bar, are just tranquil and pleasant. However, I can not say the same for the food, at least those specific ones ordered today. The gumbo was excessively salty, to the extent that my wife asked for extra rice and hot water and managed to remix everything on the table to make it more edible--- I appreciate that the waitress fulfilled our request for such item, but thinking back, it's surprising that whoever was cooking or managing the place didn't bother to talk to us and understand the cause for this. The hot dog has "favorite" sausage, which is good-- however the fries were also on the salty side, though not as clearly excessive as the gumbo. The brussels were clearly over seasoned, to the extent that we didn't finish that appetizer even sharing among three. It's ironic that the main reason we asked for a brulee cake was to counter the excessively salty dishes, and indeed it was very sweet... I can tell all the ingredients were very high quality, but I hate to say that the cuisine didn't deliver a quality I would expect, based on the fame for this place as well as all other comparably priced restaurants we enjoyed in the region over the same weekend. read more
