We walked pretty much back to the ferry dock. It wasn't on the water but across the street. The man at reception was kind enough to unload the items on a sturdy looking crate for Pygmy me to get up onto a high bar stool. I always say I wish I was 2 inches taller. The restaurant had some patrons already eating or drinking. By the time we were done the place was packed. Everything was delicious except the unagi roll was definitely not unagi but some kind of raw cubed reddish fish. M guava ribs was the tenderest almost fall off the bone, perfectly sauced. Very glad we didn't go on the optional 3 hour tour so we could admire the New England style architecture, their landscaping and have time for a leisurely meal. When we had already left the place a couple from the bus who went on the tour asked if we ate there and how it was.

Thanks to yelp, I stumbled upon the shuck shack... easy to mix so check out the photos! This place has a true New England feel, with great views for people watching and beautiful scenery of the water and boats. The environment is very lively and they have a selection of raw and cooked seafood. I took a seat at the few stools at the bar, ordered a drink, clams, and shrimp. The shrimp were large and delicious! I also liked option to order half or full dozen. The clams, to my surprise, were shucked right in front of me.. great touch but word of advice.. don't make my mistake. There is a RAW section and COOKED section on menu and yes to my surprise, I accidentally ordered calms from the raw menu.. never knew raw clams were a thing ::cringe:: and after one try- definitely not a win for me. However! This place is a must, a true Vineyard experience with friendly servers and great views!!

The clams I had were steamed to perfection and the shrimp cocktail had huge shrimp in them. Their prices overall are very, very reasonable. But what makes it so special is the atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and competent. The view is unbeatable considering you are 10 feet from the harbor and have a perfect spot to watch the boats coming and going. A great value for your money.

The chicken nachos appetizer was pretty decent and I'd say evenly layered with toppings, it was enough for a table of 3 for an appetizer.

Like ok hold on... The drink was absolutely disgusting and I didn't even want it and also NO ONE WAS THERE so he could literally have just been like "excuse me you can't walk out with that" and I would have gladly handed it over. They would have been doing me a favor if that were the case. LITERALLY NEVER GO HERE IT SUCKS
