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'll never forget that saying. And that's what drove me to eat here ... to see if they truly respect the fish. Cape Fear is a hot local spot that serves up seafood. It's a mash-up of Bonefish and Red Lobster. Semi-fancy but just below pretentious and more casual. It's attached to another restaurant and parking was hard to find. The place is so popular, that I had to park 3 businesses down. Thankfully, a spot at the bar was open but this place was busy during 5:30 - 7PM. I ordered a blue moon and got the fresh catch (blackened mahi mahi) with mango salsa. It sat on a bed of risotto and side of asparagus. The fish was certainly "respected" and the meal blended perfectly together. Highly recommend the fresh catch. Service was excellent! The dessert, a blueberry cobbler, is my reason for the star bump. I guess I was expecting southern cobbler, which is typically a lot heartier portion. This one almost seemed like they had it frozen and reheated. The taste was decent, though. I just wish they'd "respect" the cobbler a bit more. Overall, this is a must stop if fish is on your brain. Highly recommend!

We went with the Cajun wings and a seafood boil with king crab legs, shrimp, boiled eggs, potatoes, and corn. You can choose between different marinades and spice levels. We went with garlic butter and mild spice. I really wanted to try the shrimp fried rice but it was no longer available, I assume due to being sold out. Next time! Upon delivery, the food arrived very hot and smelled delicious. They ensure it's packaged so a leak doesn't occur. The wings were super crispy, flavorful, and delicious. The boil was a huge portion, truly fresh, flavorful, and delicious. You never know what you're going to get when you order seafood for delivery, but we were thoroughly impressed! The seafood boil and wings could feed two people I'd say. I can't wait to order again and absolutely will be. I will say the only downside is the price, it was about $160 for the boil and wings, but for a special occasion, absolutely worth it. I was debating between four and five stars but it was SO delicious and fresh, that I had to go with five.

Over priced per usual, not a fan. Service was fair though. I'd recommend people go somewhere else…read morefor authentic seafood boils. The crawfish tasted like dirt and the shrimp wasn't all that.

I grew up in New England and I got used to having great seafood available everywhere. I just…read moreassumed that unless you lived in Iowa or something that awesome fish could be had almost everywhere in this country, especially in a state that sits on the Atlantic ocean, but I was wrong. For the longest time I had been disappointed in every supermarket I had purchased fish from in Raleigh, including Harris Teeter's, Fresh Market & Whole Foods. Enter Scott Madden of Madden's Seafood. Scott's is a one or two man operation that opens up on Friday's between noon and 6:30 and Saturday's between 10:00-3:00 in a parking area off of Honeycutt Road, across from Lafayette Village. You have to place your order with him by phone or email by noon on Thursday and then he goes to the coast and brings back the freshest fish in town. He always has extra fish and shellfish on hand, but it's best to preorder to get exactly what you want. I stumbled upon Madden's Seafood while driving down the road one day a few years ago and saw the signs along the street advertising various types of fresh fish. I kind of chuckled the first time I saw the signs because I was relatively new to North Carolina and wondered why anyone would buy seafood from some guy on the side of the road when other retail options were available. That was before I had tried the fresh seafood from just about every market in the area and been disappointed by all of them. Finally after driving by Madden's Seafood for the third or fourth time I decided to stop in and take a look. What could it hurt to see what the guy had? It certainly couldn't be any worse than all the other stores nearby. That first visit was over four years ago and I have been exclusively going to Scott Madden for my fresh seafood ever since. It is by FAR the freshest fish available in the area. I love to cook. I'm a total foodie and I treat every meal like it was my last, so I want only the best. I don't know what we would have done if we hadn't found Madden's. My guess is that I just wouldn't be eating fish while I lived in Raleigh. I'd really rather go without than settle for a lower quality. So today is Thursday and I just got Scott's weekly email this morning listing all the fish that will be for sale tomorrow and Saturday. Here's a copy and pasted list of this week's posting: "Last Minute Catch: Lots of local fish this week. Sorry no Red Snapper or Drum. We can get Spots and Sea Mullet. They are sold whole. Local Yellowfin Tuna, Grouper, Trigger, Wahoo, Golden Tile, Black Sea Bass and Speckled Trout. We have some beautiful Jumbo fresh Shrimp. Great prices too. If anyone wants Lobster Tails let me know as soon as you can. Our Sweet Sea Scallops are awesome. No preservatives or Chemicals. Just fresh. The Oysters in the shell are from Stump Sound. I ate about 15 of them Saturday and they are delish. Good and salty. Check out below what is available and please have all orders in by noon today. Thanks, Scott This Week's Catch: Scottish Salmon (Faroe Island)...... $17/lb Halibut(Can)......................$23/lb Trigger(local)...........................$20/lb King Mackerel(local)......................$16/lb Yellowfin Tuna(local)...............$19/lb Wahoo(local).......................$19/lb Black Sea Bass(local)...........$19/lb Tile(local).............................$22/lb Speckled Trout(local)..............$17/lb Grouper(local).........................$23/lb Spots(whole)...................$4/lb 50lb box $165.00 Sea Mullet(whole)............$4.50/lb SHELLFISH Scallops (dry pack) .......................... $21/lb Lump Crab ....................................... $26/lb Oyster Pints .................................... $19.50 Crab Fingers....................................$19.50 Little Neck Clams......$6dzn Mussels(PEI).............$4.50/lb Stump Sound Oysters in shell(NC) bushel $90 1/2 bushel $50 peck $30 dozen $12 NC Shrimp Fresh JUMBOS 16/20 1 pound $16 2 for $30 5 for $70 From the Freezer Soft Shell Crabs..............$7/ea (already cleaned) Lobster Tails(4oz)...................$7/ea Snow Crab Legs............................... $15/lb Crab Cakes(Mattamuskeet).............$5/ea Snow Crab Legs(10up)..................$17/lb Gator Tail(La).................................$18/lb Gator Sausage(La).........................$12 Crawfish Sausage(La).....................$12 Prices good for week of: 11/11/17" My wife and I LOVE the salmon we get from Madden's. It is without a doubt the best we've had anywhere. We also buy the tuna and the local shrimp regularly as well as the halibut, scallops and grouper. We have bought fish every Friday from Scott for the last four years and never been disappointed with the quality. So if you love fresh fish in particular, if you love great food in general, stop settling for the low grade stuff you buy at the chain markets and up your game to the finest seafood in the Raleigh area. Give Madden's Seafood a try.

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!

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.
