    Inside restaurant
    Louise V.

    Visited at the end of summer. Staff was gracious and accommodating, food was delicious and restaurant was clean with nice views! Definitely the place to eat in Edgartown! Will be back!

    What a DISAPPOINTMENT. Honestly, the whole evening was just a series of sad, annoying, and frustrating events. To start, we check in and they say they're just putting the table together....10 minutes later and we still haven't sat down. Finally sit down and order drinks. We order a a simple cocktail (think- 2 ingredients and a garnish). First time it comes out, it's straight booze. Second time, it had the wrong second ingredient. Third time, no lime. FOLKS. It is NOT that hard to make a damn vodka tonic. ANYWAY, we order food. This is what we got - Spaghetti and meatballs: holy crap, a 6-year-old could have made a better dish. No herbs. Barely any sauce. This was a pathetic dish or presentation thereof. Linguine and clams: five clams in shells otherwise just chopped clams on top. Fine dish but nothing great. Grilled rare tuna: boy, take a fantastic dish and totally mess it up. You have this beautiful nicely sliced rare tuna...to only be DOUSED in eel and wasabi sauce. Seriously folks, put some on the side, don't drown it. The warm rice cake was a nice touch to an otherwise cold dish. With the cost, you're better off going somewhere else, certainly for the food. Overall disappointment.

    Shrimp cocktail

    Dined in late evening, started with shrimp cocktail with a nice horseradish kick to the sauce and large sized shrimp, four were plenty to split for the two of us. The oh so bougie cocktails were delicious! For dinner had the short rib, which was fine but underwhelming this time. We also ordered the eggplant parm with a side of marinara and meatballs, which was perfect.

    Came here to celebrate an anniversary. The Atria staff was amazing, they made us feel very special…read moreon our anniversary. The restaurant is set up in an old house. They have multiple seating areas which you book in advance. Each area has a different menu we sat Under the stars on the patio. Food was amazing I ordered the chicken and my husband ordered the haddock. Food tasted amazing. Serving sizes are worth the price I was stuffed. We started with bread fyi you pay for the bread. Something we didn't know. Bread was worth it, would have liked more transparency there. Drinks are great. I forgot the name of the cocktail I ordered but shoutout the bartender. We also got a free champagne toast for our anniversary which was greatly appreciated. I would 10/10 recommend this place if you're in town.

    Atria is usually the last stop for us whenever we're on Martha's Vineyard, and it never…read moredisappoints. This time we went with friends, which meant I got to sample a little bit of everything -- the short ribs, wok-fried lobster, and a massive slice of carrot cake that took me two days to finish at home. We also enjoy getting dressed up to come here since they've got the white tablecloths my wife looks for when she's sipping her drink -- so don't show up straight from the beach in flip-flops and a tee. The vibe is always relaxed but elevated, the food and drinks are on point, and the service never misses. That's why we keep coming back.

    While eating my way through Martha's Vineyard, I took a morning walk and came across the Harbor…read moreView Hotel, home of the well-known Bettini restaurant. Normally this place is booked solid when we visit the Vineyard, but around 8 AM we decided to take a chance -- and luck was on our side. We walked right in and grabbed a seat. I wasn't really hungry, but when you have a chance to eat where past presidents, foreign dignitaries, and celebrities dine, you don't pass that up. I went with the avocado toast, topped with toasted everything seasoning, heirloom tomatoes, shallots, and two eggs on multigrain toast. The verdict: it was very tasty. That everything seasoning hits different -- I need to find out where they get theirs. My only small critique is that I would have liked the bread slices just a little thinner, but that's more about me cutting back on carbs than them doing anything wrong. I'll definitely have to return during drinking hours to try their signature Shark's Attack cocktail. Rating: Solid breakfast spot. Worth the hype. I eat, I judge. The fork stops with me.

    A Culinary Gem That Outshines Even the View - Bettini at Harbor View Hotel…read more Bettini at the Harbor View Hotel is one of those rare places where the food, service, and setting harmonize so perfectly that you almost forget which one impressed you first. Yes, the view of Edgartown Harbor is breathtaking -- the kind that glows in the golden light of Martha's Vineyard -- but here, it's the food that truly steals the show. Under the remarkable leadership of Executive Chef Juan Martinez and Sous Chef Momo Camara, every plate is crafted with soul and precision. The scallop crudo was a masterpiece of restraint -- impossibly fresh, delicate, kissed with just the right acidity to let the sea speak for itself. The lobster bucatini came next, beautifully balanced with a subtle kick that added warmth without overwhelming the sweet richness of the lobster. And then, the beef carpaccio -- paper-thin, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and bursting with flavor in every bite. Service was flawless from start to finish. Our bartender Taylor made the most beautiful hot cocoa for my daughter -- just the right temperature, velvety, and not too hot -- proof of the team's thoughtful attention to detail. Andrei, our server, was both attentive and genuinely funny, effortlessly remembering each of my kids' names after our very first dinner. That kind of personal touch transforms a meal into a memory. Bettini isn't just a hotel restaurant -- it's a culinary destination in its own right. Whether you come for the harbor views, the impeccable service, or the artistry on your plate, you'll leave knowing you've just experienced something special.

    Welcome back in 2025 - and the experience has changed INCREDIBLY! Visited a day before it shut down…read morefor the season, and was BLOWN away with the plump-est, cheesiest lobster quesadilla this side of the east coast, and DIDNT BREAK THE WALLET! Fried shrimp to dance for and a pretty good (it was over dressed tuna) poke that had amazing sushi rice (seriously, I was nursing a bad stomach upset and wanted some rice... and I was smitten with rice!). My sister, hailing from North Carolina, ordered the lobster quesadilla that simply blew our minds. Unlike the lobster-weak and cheese-deficient quesadilla of Wild Goose Tavern in Chatham, this bad-boy had knuckles, and tail and claws to make a fisherperson and lobster-deprived human dance for lunch. Chunky enough to share (my husband did the honors so that "no lobster was left behind). I don't know if this place has upped their game since 2013 or I have been seafooding my heart across Cape Cod and my expectations have changed... but this place hit it! I recommend getting there early in the season when they open and during "New England Second Summer" - the local's little secret. And service was absolutely wonderful

    We stopped by Seafood Shanty in Martha's Vineyard on a recommendation from the guy at our bike…read morerental shop -- it's right at the end of the bike route, so it was the perfect lunch break before heading back. The restaurant is in a super cute area with a beautiful view of the beach. We walked in without a reservation and were seated right away, which was a nice surprise. We ordered lobster and lobster rolls -- both were fresh and delicious. One of my friends didn't know how to crack open the whole lobster, and the kitchen staff kindly did it for her. That kind of thoughtful service really stood out. Overall, great food, chill vibe, and excellent service. Definitely worth the stop if you're biking or exploring the area!
