Went here for my birthday dinner, it was ok. Just ok. My Malibu rum drink was very good, the crab dip was very good. The entrees were just average. I got the baked scallops and I wouldn't order it again. My daughter ordered the salmon fettuccine and it was just not good, the salmon seemed a tiny bit underdone and the sauce was so soupy that it was quite literally splattering everywhere (like all over her shirt!). Service was not great, our server seemed new and quite overwhelmed so we gave her a lot of grace and still tipped well. Her area got very busy. Ambiance was fine, casual atmosphere as always. I think we'd visit Nantucket again but would absolutely choose different entrees.

We held my boyfriend's birthday here today and it was amazing! Firstly, this location allows reservations and the process from booking with Meredith and ordering a cake for a party of 18 was successful, smooth and seamless. Private room with a tv was a hit for watching the game! The star of the show on the day of our party was Summer, our waitress! She was so amazing. Patient, informative, friendly, great personality, prompt, and overall made our experience and my boyfriend's birthday a major success. I highly recommend this location and Summer for your waitress request needs as she handled a party of 18 like a pro!

We were visiting friends in Raleigh from NY and they made reservations for us at Nantucket Grill. We were seated at a nice table inside and our drink orders were taken quickly. I had ordered a cucumber/basil Moscow Mule but she said they were out of basil. Others ordered wine and beer. I decided to stick with water. We gave our appetizer order of calamari along with the drink order. The calamari came out quickly and was tender, fresh and delicious. About a half hour later she comes over with my cucumber basil drink, they found basil! At this point I no longer wanted it but I took it, it was refreshing . We ordered two of their twin lobster tail specials , one prime rib special and their baked scallops I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the lobster tails They were sweet and delicious. My husband said his scallops were also flavorful. The prime rib looked great too. Our friends were very happy with their entrees . The sides that came along with the entrees were also generous and delicious too! Our server was friendly and competent. Only issue was we ordered bread that never came. We didn't stay for dessert because we had cake waiting at home. I wish you had a location in New York! We would def Italy come back!

Baked Sea Scallops

The food was really good! I had baked sea scallops! The server was really nice! My fiancé's burger came out wrong and they gave us a free dessert because he was still happy with the burger. Over all very nice!

Beef Grilled Kabob with mixed veggies and herb rice
Bernie S.

First and Last Visit to Nantucket Grill! We visited Nantucket Grill to celebrate my birthday, and unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired -- especially regarding accessibility and consistency. Accessibility Issues: The first red flag was the lack of a ramp at the main entrance. My father uses a walker, and he struggled to get up the steps. When I asked the hostess, she mentioned the ramp was at a side entrance, which made no sense -- especially considering the designated disabled parking is right by the main entrance. This setup forces those with mobility challenges to go out of their way, either through the patio or around the building, to enter the restaurant. On our way out, the same steps were blocked by parked cars and crowded with people and patio seating, making it even more difficult and unsafe for my dad to exit. Service: The bright spot of our visit was our server, Bella. She was friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout our meal, and truly one of the few positives from our evening. Food: Appetizer: The Nantucket Nachos with vegetarian chili were surprisingly good -- maybe it was hunger, maybe they're just that tasty. Entrees: The Grilled Beef Kabob was tender with perfectly cooked veggies, but the herb rice was overcooked. The two bacon cheeseburgers were hit-or-miss -- one was perfect, the other undercooked and served to the wrong person. The grilled chicken sandwich was fine, and the sides were average -- greasy onion rings, okay fries and slaw. The beef chili was a disappointment, served cold. Dessert: I had pre-ordered the salted caramel cake, and while it's hyped by many, I personally found it far too sweet with overly thick icing. If you prefer something less sugary, this may not be for you. Final Thoughts: Checkout was smooth, and again, Bella's service stood out. However, between the accessibility issues, inconsistent food, and an underwhelming dessert (hence the two stars), I don't see myself returning to Nantucket Grill -- unless it's just to be served by Bella again.

My sweet Auntie and a couple of friends took me here to celebrate my birthday. A Saturday afternoon in October about 3p. We walked right in and were immediately seated next to a large party of maybe 10. They were finishing up and chatting. Our waitress soon came to take our drink orders. She was very pleasant and professional...but friendly. Service was great and the food was delicious. Everything arrived at the table as requested, plated with care, warm and fresh. We were pleased with our meals and the service. Now dessert...I had a huge piece of lemon delight cake and it was scrumptious! Our waitress brought it out with a lit candle and sang a little birthday song as the table near us joined in and me...I danced of course because it's what you do on your birthday! Then guess what...that huge piece of cake was complimentary on the house! Everyone enjoyed the delicious desserts at Nantucket and they all took home an extra dessert. Not me though...I enjoy my huge slice right there! Overall this was a wonderful experience. Wish I could remember the waitress's name so I could give her a shoutout for being so dope.

Great family friendly atmosphere! Nice decor and great servers. Large selection on the menu and the best cake!!! It was pretty packed when we arrived but had a short wait for a table of 4. Will defintely return!

Birthday cake to go !
TJ L.

Alone on a random cold January night. Popped into the Nantucket on way home to take advantage of their half-price appetizer and a toddy. Sat at the bar and was tended to quickly by the very personable bar keep. My cosmo was perfect. Can't say the same for the crab dip. Too much dip and very little crab. And way too many green peppers and scallions. The free cake slice was a nice surprise. Did I mention it was my birthday?

Lobster and mashed potatoes
Ashley F.

Went here for a family dinner, the service was great. The server was very friendly and checked on us often. I ordered the lobster and it tasted pretty good. It was a special of the day, I must admit that it wasn't the best lobster that I've ever had but it wasn't bad. The mashed potatoes were really good as well. This restaurant is definitely one where we frequent, I usually order the steak and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is nice as well. It really has a family feel to me. I will definitely be back soon!

We went Labor Day for breakfast our first time eating at Eggs Up. The place was not too crowded…read moreand we got a nice booth. Our server greeted us promptly and was friendly. There was a little confusion over whether or not they had orange jut for a traditional mimosa, but they did and it was a nice tasty one! My husband and I both ordered the avocado toast, it was good! Pretty much a whole avocado sliced on the toast with a nice thick sliced of bread. My over easy egg was done perfectly. The toast not negative for me was the salsa that comes me to top the toast. It was just a jarred salsa, and was overly sweet. I would have preferred, and expected, a fresh house made salsa, which is why I deducted one star from my rating. (Fortunately our server asked me if I wanted the salsa on top or on the side and I chose on the side so at least I could just ignore the subpar salsa.). We will definitely go back!

TLDR: Great food, not enough feta and if you are craving a flavored coffee, don't get it from here…read more This is a solid four star experience. I ordered delivery: Greek Scrambler with cheesy homefries and a Mocha Cold Brew. The eggs themselves were perfectly made. Fluffy with the perfect amount of cheese. The veggies were perfectly cooked. The Lost star was for the amount of feta (just a small sprinkle when thats my favorite part of the meal) and the Mocha. I was craving a sweet treat and needing coffee. The Iced Mocha was the reason I picked this restaurant. The picture, with the wip and the drizzle... looked perfect. What I got had no whip, and tasted like straight coffee. I think they forgot the Mocha part of the drink. I usually make my own coffee at home with sugar free syrups for days I am not getting a sweet caffinated treat. I added my own syrups and was sad as I drank my very expensive self flavored iced coffee.

4.5 Stars Rounded Up…read more.. As a Winston-Salem native, I was so excited when I saw there was a Village Tavern in Raleigh! This location is in the newer part of North Hills, right beside Restoration Hardware, and fits perfectly in the area. There's not much street parking available, but there's a large parking deck right beside Restoration Hardware and a very short walk once you exit the escalator. I highly suggest parking close to the escalator to be closer to the entrance. I suggest a reservation to avoid a wait, especially if you're going during the evening or at peak weekend times like brunch hours on Sunday. Luckily, there's a small waiting area and seats outside as well if you do have a wait. The bar is large, so that's an option for waiting if it's not packed. The restaurant is large with lots of seating options. There's also a large, nice covered patio as well. I'm pretty sure they have heaters outside as well for colder months. The service, food, and drinks have always been excellent, with one exception. I deducted half a star because I wasn't a fan of the steak when I came with a friend once. She ordered a NY strip, and it was a perfect cut and a perfect medium, but it was bland. There was no seasoning, which was a huge bummer. We had to ask for steak sauce because it was just so bland. My favorite drink to order is the Hugo Spritz. It's the first place I've had one, and I've been hooked on those ever since. Some of my favorite orders include: Spring Rolls, Hot Crab Dip, Shrimp Hemingway, Blackened Chicken Alfredo, Mediterranean Bowl, and the Tavern Benedict with grilled chicken.

The seabass is so good. It works well with the sauce and spinach. The sticky rice is just regular…read morerice, not Thai sticky rice. We ordered medium rare and expext the outside to be crunchy. Well it is not. But the meat is tender and fresh. Really enjoy fried oysters and tuna sashimi. Pretty good.

The Pickled Onion turned out to be a total surprise!!…read more My wife and I came here for a late dinner and honestly, we picked them because they were open. We regularly have sushi next door at Mizu, so we've seen the Onion for years and really didn't think much of the place from the outside. Wow...were we wrong! Inside is a bright, open, BIG dining room with several big comfy booths along one wall. TVs line nearly every wall playing whatever game happens to be playing at the time (admittedly not our favorite, but hey...it's a sports bar). Staff is super friendly and very helpful. The biggest surprise was how extensive and diverse the menu is. For our first time my wife and I decided to get a couple orders of tacos and split em. Fish tacos were hot and super crispy and the seared tuna tacos were very fresh...light yet filling. Both had incredible flavor and all the ingredients were the highest quality. We were very impressed. We look forward to coming back again to try more of their menu...and enjoy a few beers along the way!!

We ate that this location Saturday evening and came away feeling 'meh' about the entire meal. our…read morefood was not bad, just nothing to write home about. I had wings and a side salad which were both good, but not outstanding. The price of the side salad was rather expensive, in my opinion. My wife's Caesar salad with salmon was good as well, but again not that great. Apparently, they have a team approach to serving tables as we interacted with about 5 different servers which made things rather confusing and uneven. It would have been nice to know that's how they do the service experience up front. I think the primary factors in my rating are the price of the extra 2oz cup of Bleu Cheese dressing to take with my leftover wings and the 3% CC charge. If I knew the little cup of dressing was a dollar, I would not have taken it. Then there's the now ubiquitous 3% charge to use a credit card. I totally get that the card companies charge the fee and this is painted as 'transparency', but it just doesn't sit well with me. Maybe restauranteurs and other establishments that add the card fee could look at the sales with and without credit cards and just raise the menu prices by that percentage so it's not in people's faces. There's enough 'extra charges' in my life and it would be great to see one disappear.
