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!

I dropped by one afternoon to check out this new pub in North Raleigh and I was delighted to find…read morehow cozy it was and how hospitable and sweet the owners, Kevin and Stephanie, are. The decor in The Winchester Pub is unique in the fact that they don't have all the stereotypical, tacky beer signage that others have and the bar is completely handmade by Kevin himself (it's gorgeous). Their selection of beers on tap is primo -- you won't see any of the over-served blah beers of other bars. Instead, you'll find a finely curated selection that boasts a variety of tastes. If you're not into beer, there are also a few bottles of wine you can choose to have a glass of. There's a small selection of canned brews you can purchase from the display case in the front of the pub, back of the pub, and in the refrigerated unit in the rear, as well as cider, spiked coffee malt beverages, alcoholic seltzers, and beer kegs. Surprisingly, there's even some bagged coffee! If you fancy bringing some pub merch home, there are branded mugs for sale. Above the bar, there are mounted TV screens, perfect for enjoying local sports games (especially European soccer matches on the weekends). Plenty of backed barstools surround the bar, and there's a line of round, leather-topped stools along the back wall. If stools aren't your cup of tea, there are two cozy leather couches you can lounge on: one in the front (by the entrance) and one in the back (next to a pool table)! If you're not craving any booze, there's a water cooler in the front of the pub and canned sodas in the fridge (Sprite and Coke). If you're feeling playful, there are couple of board games on the one of the beer display shelves by the entrance (beneath the framed red jersey). I'm more of a cider kind of girl, so Kevin suggested a fantastic, locally-owned cider out of Pittsboro, NC: "Chatham Cider Works Highway 64". It was sweet, light, bubbly, and strong, especially at 10% ABV (so, watch out!). My husband and I both sampled the "Fullsteam Igor Cake" Pastry Stout (9% ABV), which was super sweet. Hubby ended up ordering the "Casita Home Sweet Home" Imperial Stout (10% ABV), which had a cake-like flavor, was super smooth, and not too sweet. No foods are currently served here, but there are some snacks for sale behind the bar and you are more than welcome to bring in your own noms to accompany any drinks your order. From the cooler, I bought and tried: - Brown Bomber Mocha Hard Latte - flavored malt beverage (5% ABV) made with 100% Arabica coffee and milk. It's recommended to shake well and serve over ice. It was soooo creamy, chocolatey, and delicious -- you can't even tell that there is alcohol in it! - Brown Bomber Vanilla Hard Latte - same as the previous, but vanilla-flavored - Sound Craft Rosé Seltzer (5% ABV) - super smooth and tasting of freshly pressed blackberries, I could not tell that there was alcohol in it! If you're looking for a cozy spot to throw back a pint as you unwind from work, you've found the perfect place!

Pub is tricky to find, so make sure you drive down the hill and behind the main mall. But it is so…read moresmall. I came for a World Cup match. I wanted a great soccer oriented environment. Despite arriving over an hour before the match started, every seat at the bar was already taken. And there are no tables so if you aren't fortunate enough to get a bar seat, you're SOL. I saw one or two bar patrons eyeing me weirdly, like I was invading their home space. So I decided to just leave. Per the online menu, they do have over a dozen drafts available, but I didn't get to try any of them. So disappointing.
