    Strawberry shortcake
    Alexis H.

    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!

    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!

    Stuffed Shrimp
    Shakira W.

    The food here has been delectable every time but I finally made it to taking photos without diving head first lol on a late Saturday afternoon is a pretty chill time to go here. Our server was very attentive and accommodating. He was very kind and helpful. Now the crab dip, didn't last 5 mins. Of course I ran out of the dip before the pita. I tried the Blossom rum punch which tasted like juice and made me feel like I was back on a trip in a Caribbean. The stuffed shrimp with crab was bursting with flavor and they did not go too light on the crab so I'm glad. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and the risotto melted in my mouth. I did stick my fork in my cousin's pasta plate and YES. I'm not a huge pasta eater but they definitely did the darn thing with that dish.

    What a cool spot! I found this off a Reddit thread and I honestly would have never known otherwise…read more It's located in a tucked away strip mall off Litchford, it has a big patio but inside it has walls of whisky (the largest collection in the southeast apparently). We grabbed a few spots at the bar and live music was playing outside on this beautiful evening, lots of families buzzing around. The bartenders were really good, knowledgeable, and on it. I had the cocktail of the week which was a gin and Prosecco concoction and hubby had draft pumpkinhead, it's the season. Both good choices! They have TVs if you want to watch the game and big tables to just chill. I'm assuming you can bring in food too from the nearby spots. Overall loved this hidden gem! We will be back!

    a friend and I stopped in while on a business trip after a coworker recommended this place, and it…read morecompletely exceeded my expectations. I'll admit, seeing it next to a Food Lion didn't exactly set the bar high, but the moment I walked in and saw the massive wall of bottles stretching to the ceiling, I knew I'd misjudged it. The bartender with the blue hair was outstanding. (Did her job so well I cannot remember her name for the life of me). She explained how everything worked, pointed us toward great beer options in the back cooler, and then really impressed us by taking time to understand both my taste and my friend's despite us having totally different bourbon preferences. She gave thoughtful recommendations at multiple price points and tailored each suggestion specifically to what we liked. Knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely fun to talk to. The regulars were friendly, the atmosphere felt welcoming, and the whole place has that hidden-gem neighborhood vibe you hope to find when traveling. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town and I'll be on the lookout for a few bottles thanks to her recommendations.

    This is absolutely a hidden gem amongst bars. It's in an inconspicuous abandoned looking shopping…read morecenter off the beaten path, but they make some of the best cocktails in the city. They have a very extensive inventory of bourbons including all the high-end ones you would want. The bartenders making amazing recipes including my partners favorite, Tom Yum, taste just like the soup. I can often enjoy a whiskey sour with no issue and use the menu to try something different. They don't serve food, so it's a good place to come after dinner. The ambiance is simple, a wooden bar and now that they have expanded, they have some tables as well. This past trip was the most crowded I've ever seen it in there, but the service was still quick and attentive. This bar is a staple for me.

For those that follow me on Yelp for brewery reviews, cocktail bar reviews are few and far between. So if I make a point of making a visit, it really is special. Great selection of product (I guess) but what I appreciate is the care and attention each glass is prepared by the bar keep. They are very friendly and knowledgeable - which is good for me, b/c I ask a lot of questions! Service is careful, but does crawl if the house is full, it really is tiny inside - did you know there was a back door, patio area? I particularly like the absence of having to yell at my table mates - it makes this barbour more sophisticated in this respect.Everything, right down to the outside marquee is subtle - and we like leaving the madding crowd far away...
