Grilled Salmon lo mein
Dave F.

Had a reservation for dinner here. Had no problem getting a table, as it was the last weekend before the season. The ambiance was nice and on the dark side inside that forced the use of the candlelight at the tables. Ended up with a really nice server. No issues with her at all, but the food was a let down. We had ordered the chicken lettuce cups, but they never came. I don't attribute this to our server, but at the end of the day, the entrees had enough food to not need this. We ended up getting the grilled salmon lo mein (water chestnuts, snoew peas, broccoli, carrot, bell pepper and sorrel) and the lola burger (cabot cheddar, red onion compote, foie gras sauce on an english muffin). The burger did come with thick shoestring fries. Food was a little bit of a let down. The grilled salmon itself was pretty good but the lo mein was just okay. Not overly flavorful and unrememberable. The burger was also just okay. The fries were not good. Half soggy and way too salty. We did let the server know about the missing lettuce cups and she took care of it no problem. Very disappointing for a high-end restaurant. This was the least-liked food of the trip.

Honestly this is just five stars. Perfect 5 stars. My favorite spot on the island. Celebs are in here all the time, the decor is modern and cute. The jazzy, crowded bar atmosphere makes it perfect for date night, but during the day I'd actually say it is pretty child friendly. The prices are high, but it's sushi on Nantucket what do you expect. The sushi is fantastic. Everything we ordered was delicious and the rolls are creative, unlike anything I'd had before. I've been here multiple times and never had a bad experience. The fish is soft and has a clean, true flavor. Might I add, the crab Rangoon were the best I have had in my life. The service is fast and attentive. I cannot wait to come back here.

terrible nigiri, don't come here

We called 138 times to get a reservation here from 4pm onwards and got a table at 945, luckily. Expectations were high. These guys are a victim of their own success - we found service to be arrogant and food to be very disappointing. We ordered 6 dishes here: Shrimp tempura - the only good dish we had Salmon Carpaccio with shaved truffle - not worth $5, let alone the $50 they charge for it. Shaved truffle imparts no flavor and the ginger vinaigrette had no flavor ASAHI (A-SA-HEE) - tasteless sushi roll ANATA (A-NA-TA) - half decent sushi roll, nothing to write home about Toro Nigiri - supposed to be their freshest and most expensive nigiri - too much rice, overcooked rice, fish didn't taste fresh LOBSTER FRIED RICE - awful - flavor overpowered by coriander and overall tasteless If you like good food, do not visit. Victim of their own success. We are regular sushi eaters from California, and a low level CA sushi restaurant does a better job. I don't care about the price to quality ratio, the quality isn't worth it period. They also aren't open to feedback as they are back to back full. Tried to give waiter feedback about the sushi and all he said was "I'll take it off the bill" - I don't mind paying for it but it's clear they don't care about feedback and it's a money pit. Don't fall for the trap. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g29527-d642507-r801623354-Lola_41-Nantucket_Massachusetts.html#

Lo La 41 is a dimly lit/ moody sushi restaurant in Nantucket. In order to get in you need to call the day of at 4pm. The line gets insanely bogged down but if you keep calling you will persevere! We got through after calling over 100 times. However, the bar is first come first serve which we proceeded to do going forward. I cannot recommend enough their surf & turf rolls or shrimp tempura! My boyfriend and I don't usually choose shrimp tempura; but, we were told it was a favorite by most customers. It didn't disappoint! We honestly loved it so much we came back the next day! We also enjoyed their cocktails - but, fair warning the spicy margarita is spicy!!!

Lola41 is one of our go-to spots when on the island and I'm surprised I haven't written a review yet... *Ambiance: on a regular, non-covid, weekend night (and summer week days) this place is jammed. it's dark and moody and they usually play their music REALLY loud (which can be a plus or a minus depending). People will crowd around the bar which leaves some tables being squished by standing people... I love the booth to the right of the bar that's tucked into the wall- it's a little tough to get in and out of but it's secluded and a great spot for 4-6 people. *Service: Usually good, sometimes slow if they're really busy. Servers are generally amiable and helpful. The only thing I don't like is that it's obvious, especially in the summer, that the staff is there just to have a good time and I've witnessed them all taking shots together at the bar which is fine, I just would try to be a little less conspicuous about it in front of patrons. The other thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that, due to covid, they were required by the state to shut down at 9:30pm. I made a reservation for 8:00, knowing that we would only have 1.5 hours to enjoy dinner... long story short, we ended up not being seated until 8:20 due to the table before us taking longer than expected... and the staff still wanted us out by 9:30. It was the most rushed dinner of my life and left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth BUT I know that's not standard practice. *Drinks: STRONG. which is the best part, if you ask me. Never had a drink I didn't like here. *Food: usually AMAZING. the best is sushi sunday when sushi is 50% off. It's asian fusion so I typically get sushi but their other dishes are always good too. My husband and I had the most amazing foie gras poutine the weekend we got engaged almost 4 years ago and I still think about it to this day. That's a sign of a good restaurant- if I can remember what I ordered years ago, then it's worth coming back for. Their lobster mac n cheese is also pretty epic- had that for the first time 10 years ago and still remember it!! Overall, great spot with a great (a little scene-y) vibe. I always enjoy my meals here!!

King Crab Rangoon

I heard this is one of the best places on Nantucket and I was a little disappointed. We sat outside and a lot more could have been done to the space to add to the ambiance. The service was phenomenal. The food was okay, I had better sushi while visiting cape cod. The Salmon Lo Main was very very good. I would definitely recommend that dish. Overall, I'm not sure I would come back but it was good just not great.

Lobster sushi - literally the worst thing I have ever eaten.
Jeff G.

Very disappointing. This was probably the meal I was waiting for and looking forward to the most. Innovative, fresh sushi and outdoor seating. Lo la 41 was expensive, small portions, crowded, loud music and most importantly underwhelming. Lola is expensive. The rolls are teeny and the lobster roll (wrapped in cucumber with mint (I think mint) was the single worst dish I have had in a long time and maybe ever. We each had a nibble and no one could even eat a single piece. The combination did not work. I would recommend their ribs but that is really it. We sat outside and got placed under a speaker playing horrible house music at a very loud volume. It was almost torture.

Sat at the bar last time I was here, Kevin the bartender was the best! Amazing cocktails, great…read moreservice, great conversation, and the food was delicious. I recommend the rangoon, dumplings, tuna crispy rice, and the wok fried lobster. After the Gold Rush cocktail was great.

We joined the waitlist for a table on Resy, where it said the latest quoted wait time was 15…read moreminutes (it's off season). We checked in on arrival 10 minutes later, and we were kindly informed our table should be ready in another 15 minutes or so, and asked our preference of having them find us at the bar or getting a text when the table was ready. We opted to wait outside, the text never came, and after politely waiting 30 minutes before checking back on our table, we encountered a different person at the hostess stand who unapologetically told us they had no tables for the night. I politely told her we were already on the list and asked if she could double check because our table was supposed to be ready. She VERY unapologetically said they could seat us in 2 hours. This is after we had already waited an hour - on a 15 minute wait list. This is the only negative or even remotely rude experience we've ever had on island. And while I really don't like leaving bad reviews, the way this was handled was not ok - hopefully bringing this to light helps the restaurant fix their broken system and/or saves someone else the hassle.

Holy yum. Breakfast bagels were amazing. The bagel itself was dense in a good way. Perfectly crisp…read moreand chewy. Not too hard. I got Asiago cheese bagel (sausage egg and cheese). The white cheese they used (idk which) was so yummy and added perfect flavor to the bagel sandwich. Most days I'd probably only be able to eat half but I was so hungry today so the full sandwich was good. They serve Starbucks and that was perfectly made as well (I got hot white mocha). There was an awkward situation where one staff member tried to hand us our bagel order then the other staff said it's not ready and they proceeded to go back and forth, confusing us as to whether or not we were okay to take the bag. Turns out it was the correct order, but only half of it. One staff member just wanted to put the second half of the order in the same bag and the other didn't understand that - causing confusion for us as well. But good service for us regardless just a little awkward. Cute store and good breakfast options. Would go back!

A must visit food establishment when you are in Nantucket…read more Whether or not you are cooking your own meals, or need prepped foods, NANTUCKET MEAT & FISH MARKET is a must visit. The raw meats & seafood section has a well-curated selection of meats, seafood and cuts. The shelves are stocked with items that will go well with the meat and seafood selections cooked in the manner you'll likely choose. Party items like wine, champagne, charcuterie board elements are available too. Their DELI is a great place to get your LOSTER ROLLS or even CRAB SANDWICHES. They make and serve coffee as well. They have a sizable parking lot which is overflowing with impatient vacationers in certain times of the day. All workers are efficient.

Actually shocked to see this place with only 3 stars on here. It's one of the best restaurants…read morewe've been to on the island in our multiple trips to Nantucket. In my opinion, easily a top 5 restaurant on the island. The menu has so many items I wanted to try that I'm definitely going to need to go back! The menu has great variety ranging from sushi, to pastas, to steak. So many good starter options- we had the Town roll, tuna tar tar, and the mussels (red sauce). All 3 were excellent! We then shared the shrimp scampi... Also excellent! A person seated next to us had the Bolognese and it looked amazing as well. Our server was knowledgeable and efficient. Seemed like a good guy although he could have been a bit more personable. The place was very busy and he was working hard so it's totally understandable. Will absolutely go back to Town every time we visit Nantucket.

We were wandering around town. The bar outside unfortunately did not have any seats so we ended up…read moregoing up the steps to Town. We were greeted right away by the bartender. He told us he had been watching "spritz videos" and wanted to try to make the "spritz of the day" he had just watched. So we agreed. It had a lot of herbs in (wish i paid more attention to what was in it) we got to talking with other customers and the bartender. He had spent some time in iowa playing hockey. The women's bathroom had a large door that spung open, a waiter opened it for me as I approached, definitely made me feel important. We were just there for a drink before our dinner plans so we settled up and went on our way.
