    Best Festival I have tasted in a long time The Mackerel was delicious Prices are very reasonable. The customer service was excellent I was serve by Shanice and Melissa you can feel the good vibes

    Cup of coffee - look at this mug!!

    First of all, I am disappointed in myself that I did not know that this place was open. On the other hand, I am thankful I did not know about it until recently because I would be here all of the time and it would become a problem. Their breakfast was SO good. Home fries need to be spectacular to impress me, and these were truly out of this world. I could eat them every day! I have no complaints about anything on my plate. The scrambled eggs were perfectly prepared (I asked for them well-done) and of course the home fries were the star of the show. My latte was also very good, and these mug it was served in was so cute. I tried a bite of my friend's chocolate chip waffle, which was recommended to us by a coworker who said it was the best on the island. I can't say I have tried any other waffles on the island, but this one was quite delicious and it would be difficult to top it. Even though it was busy late on Saturday morning, my party of two was seated right away. Sure, you're sitting close to the people next to you, but I do not mind. The place is well-decorated and has a pleasantly clean vibe about it. I am looking forward to trying dinner here as well in the near future!

    Everything was so delicious and the service was excellent! We were seated outside and it's beautifully decorated. We started with drinks and I got the peach Bellini which was very good. I ordered the crispy wrap which was so well made, and the perfect portion as well. Others in my group enjoyed their food and drinks as well. Our waiter was so friendly and always checking in on us. Overall it was a great meal and I would definitely come back!

    Fourth visit in a week, outstanding service, excellent food, and a perfect environment for a relaxed eating experience. Tonight, Kristin was most accommodating with recommendations and suggestions for our drinks and food. The Blackberry Bramble made a tasty cocktail. The Pork Dumplings appetizers were not too spicy, and did not disappoint. The Seared Scallops were cooked to perfection with a side of roasted Brussels sprouts. Finishing off the evening came the cheesecake and chocolate lava cake with an espresso. Breakfast is going to be a separate review, but just as epic. Highly recommend.

    Island kitchen is one of the best breakfast/Brunch spots on the island. My go to's are the Turkey Hash or the Clucker chicken sandwich! It's always busy so service is a little slow but everything is made to order from the smoothies to every dish. When in nantucket and hungry for an early Diner style breakfast this is the place to go. Also they have a pretty solid dinner menu as well.

    Recently visited this restaurant on my first time to Nantucket and it was a wonderful to begin our trip and end it as well! You can only make reservations for dinner. The food is delicious and service is great. Some standout dishes for me was the Brussel sprouts, fried calamari (probably the best calamari we had that week, it was so tender) and the lobster pasta primavera. It was simple but so much flavor and I love the sautéed fresh veggies with the lobster. I finished every bite!! When we went for breakfast I enjoyed the panko crusted eggs Benedict which is certainly unique and I also liked the matcha I got with diced strawberries and almond milk. It was refreshing and lightly sweet. Someone in our party got some juice and it was ginger forward so they had it sent back and they remade it and it was much better. Just goes to show how good the service is and they appreciated our feedback as the juices were a newer thing. If you're looking for a place with good food at a price that won't break the bank this is it! Also very kid and large group friendly.

    The Ackerol spritz was really good but the bloody Mary's weren't anything special. Food was good except for some slightly runny scrambled eggs and the sausage wasn't that good. But the waffle, huevos rancheros, bacon, omelettes, toast all very good! They give you a lot of food which is nice for the pricing. The service was pretty good as well our server was very nice and the food came out pretty fast

    Hailey S.

    Food and atmosphere was amazing! Surprisingly got seated very quickly despite the line on a Sunday morning. Orange juice is worth the price! Home fries were excellent. I wish the French toast was cooked a little longer! (I'm picky about my French toast lol)

    Create your own omelette with black beans and Portuguese muffin

    A long walk from the Hy Line dock to the restaurant but it was well worth it. We got iced coffees then shared a waffle and create your own omelette. Opted for the black beans and the Portuguese muffin. Delicious omelette. Waffle was unique and crispy. Syrup was not watered down as some restaurants do. Excellent service Delightful outdoor seating.

    It is down a side road off the main drag. rather signage is week. I had trouble finding it but it was recommended. I ate at the counter but seating was available inside as well as outside. It was bright, well lit. A nice ambiance.. They had asparagus mushroom omelette which were out of this world. The next time I am in Nantucket I definitely am returning.

    Food and service were high quality. They're also associated with the ice cream parlor next year. Both make a perfect combo.

    Highly recommend a visit to Straight Wharf Restaurant - the bar and grill side - that is. No shade…read moreto the other side, that's just above my tax bracket. Anywho... bar and grill side does not take reservations, which is nice. We came for a later dinner, so they will check IDs at the door. I did have a little bit of difficulty finding the hostess but once I did, I was seated right away. The service was great! If you have Greyson as your server, you will be in for an AMAZING night. And the food is excellent, too!! We had an amazing array of appetizers, my favorite bings the vegetarian taquito and the feta dip. I highly recommend ordering both. The crostini and the gazpacho were also very tasty. As for my main, the eggplant pasta, I couldn't recommend it enough. Plus, there was plenty to take home for later!!! The restaurant is a bit loud in the evening because the bar is quite lively. They boast good drinks and good music! A dinner at say, 6pm, would be more calm if that is your vibe. Either way, I'll be back soon!!

    Straight Wharf is staying its course. My most recent visit was solid, but I don't necessarily…read morethinks warrants 5 stars. The $90 prix fixe includes an app and an entree - pricey. The Buffalo fried fish app the waitress recommended wasn't my favorite and doesn't seem to be a dish that should be on the menu. It def felt like TGIFridays met Nantucket but not in a good way. Literally a deep fried block of fish smothered in buffalo sauce served on like a whipped blue cheese spread. Honestly, I think it was trying to elevate Buffalo when Buffalo can't be elevated. The fish entree I had was fine. Nothing out of this world. Actually quite unmemorable. Overall, $90 for 2 dishes that were fine, the app being even on a don't order suggestion, is a little jarring. Service and ambiance was great. I love the comp bread and little dip amuse bouche. Overall, fine. I think I ordered wrong, but I do think there are some better value and more exciting food happening at other places.
