Today I ate at Nantucket's in Port Jefferson and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant decor is beautiful. Our server, Tatiana, was so pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu and the food was amazing! I had the special Halibut over Risotto and my friend had the shrimp tacos. Also delicious. This was my first time there but will definitely go back. I hope you give it a try. I don't think you will be disappointed. read more

The food here is ok. I wanted to try it based on the good reviews I read. Was disappointed. The service wasn't great either. read more

Hubby made reservations for us to dine here for brunch with my MIL for Mother's Day. The parking lot is shared and this was a very nice weekend, I'm sure the nicest it's been in a few weeks, so the lot was packed to the brim. We lucked out with parking and when we arrived and gave the name, we were given the choice of inside or out. We chose outside to take advantage of the beautiful, sunny day. Despite their outdoor dining being off the lot, it still felt far removed with the elevated space and plants. The umbrellas helped with the intense sun. We were able to have them raise and lower when we wanted shade or not. Juliana was our server and she was the best. She said she was new but was very attentive pleasant. We started with cocktails, and I loved my passion fruit mezcalita. I asked for it not to be too sweet and it was perf. The food was great. I loved every bite. Not one had anything bad to say. We all enjoyed our food. Grub Rundown: Oysters - the grilled variety were tasty but I would have liked them to be larger. They cooked down and shriveled to nothingness. Yummy nothingness, but nothingness all the same. I ahd a half dozen blue points for raw bar and they were good also, served with lemon, cocktail sauce, and a mignonette. Calamari - a must have! These were sooo good! The breading is top tier. They need to sell their technique because these were the best I've had on a long time. Caesar Salad - I had it with salmon and they give a nice sized filet. My only grip is that I would prefer to have the crispy skin on my salmon. If people who order salmon don't like the skin, they should have to request it be removed. I shouldn't have to request the skin be served on. The gray layer just isn't appealing, and crispy salmon skin it tops. Breakfast Tacos - hubby had these but don't ask me how they tasted...he was seated too far. All I know is that he liked them a lot. French Toast Bites - these were good. I ordered them for my kiddo. She loved them but there were a lot and it's all sweet. I ordered a side of breakfast sausage which she appreciated, and the two links were big and very tasty. Shrimp & Lobster Hash - my MIL loved this dish. She finished every bite so I'll take her actions as word. The service was great, the tables were clean. We had a few hangups where we had to ask for silverware after food was served, and when I asked for fresh cracked pepper, I was given a pepper shaker. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves and my kiddo asked to come back, so that's a win. read more

Random night out for Happy Hour. Nice outdoor area, but as we did happy hour we had to eat inside. Still very nice. Service was great, did not have to wait long for anything. And the food so good. We shared the duck wings and oysters. I had the steak bowl and my husband had the crab burger. Both excellent dishes. I'm sure to be back again for a nice dinner! read more

Really great location, we sat outside and it was really perfectly spaced. Really tiny bathroom situation. Service was okay, we were one of the first groups for the day. Food was good, nothing really special. I asked for crispy bacon but practically got bacon jerky... read more

Like the outdoor seating. Good service and the lobster roll was great! Would do it again. read more

Nice lunchtime gathering with friends. Food was nicely presented and tasted good. Only snag is that no free dinner rolls was served at the table. For what I paid for one dish, I would have expected some free bread with butter or olive oil at the beginning. read more

Nantuckets - Lunch - Seafood Near Me - Port Jefferson, New York

I've been to Nantucket's numerous times. I've never been disappointed in the food and service. Especially Skylar who is a server on weekends. So professional, and not overbearing.... She really makes the whole experience come together. Nantucket's is fastidiously cleanly and stylish...I can't think of one area they need to improve. We will be back soon. read more

What a pleasant surprise it was. Totally delicious, great service and beautiful ambience. The inside is well decorated- and the outside is very comfy, with a lovely view of the town. Will go again for sure. read more

First weekend in over 2 months we're not supposed to get rain YAY the roads were packed and Port J was busy. We wanted to go back to a place we had brunch before but they don't open until 5 on Saturday. Did a quick search and found this place. The deck is nice but the inside is very small - thankfully it was still nice enough to eat outside. Not much of a view, you're literally overlooking the municipal parking lot. Food was tasty and service was good. Dz Oysters, calamari app, mahi mahi tacos, house burger and three beers (with $20 tip) came to almost $130 Only gripe is that I know it's off season but the oyster were tiny - I mean tiny. Would have been nice to have been told beforehand. Otherwise a nice lunch. read more

The Service was horrible. Gave us no napkins the whole time (we also had a baby) like come on do we really need to ask for napkins and meanwhile it was only us in the whole friggin restaurant on a Sunday early afternoon! I got the French toast bites and they were so hard and had no flavor. The only good thing was they put a lot of vodka in their bottomless mimosas but also not good because she never came around to ask for a refill. $20 for bottomless my butt. While we were sitting a family of three came in and sat. They left 10 minutes after sitting because no one came to their table. There was no one there ! What are you doing just hanging out on your phones doing nothing?! Service is horrible horrible. My family and I will definitely NOT be coming back. read more

Enjoyed a nice meal and great service . Plan to return again ! Live music was a nice addition! read more

Third time we've been here and it's definitely gone down from how it used to be. Food was good but service was horrible and the restaurant was empty. I had to ask the hostess if someone could take our drink order, got our drink order wrong and then when the waitress did come had a very bad attitude. We won't be retuning here again. read more

Where do I begin? Every time I've been here, I leave happy and full. The food is so good and delicious. The staff is so friendly and owner walks around with a smile on his face. Bottomless brunch on sundays is also a hit and the vibes are great. Highly recommend sitting outside too when it's warm out! read more

This restaurant has possibly the worst service in the area. Each time my family has come here we have waited upwards of 45 minutes for food to come out. Today, we waited for an appetizer that never came. We watched as the same appetizer was delivered to tables who came after us. When we asked the waitress about the status on the order, she returned and said they were out of the appetizer we ordered. We are currently still waiting for our salads. There is no way in any restaurant it should take almost an hour for salad. In any case, I hope I get to eat lunch soon... If a similar experience has not happened the last time I dined here, I would think it is a fluke. However, it seems to just be the status here and my family will not be returning, even though we love the dog friendly atmosphere. That is why I gave 2 stars, because they are nice to the dogs! read more

Nantuckets - Table with no food in sight - Seafood Near Me - Port Jefferson, New York

First time here tonight and we were very happy with everything. We sat inside at a corner table by the window and had excellent food, drink, and service. Between us all we got the calamari (both my lil boys ate most as it was perfect), buttered lobster rolls, tuna, desserts, and cocktails. Can't wait to come back. Also, the waitress and other staff we had were so nice and extremely kid friendly. read more

Had brunch during the week. They had unlimited mimosas surprisingly! The mimosas were in huge wine glasses and were perfect amount of strong. Got the eggs Benedict. I wasn't crazy about the hollandaise sauce. It was very light instead of thick what im used to. The steak for the steak and eggs was a little over done and tough to eat. The menu was not large for the brunch time. Would return for the unlim mimosas! read more

Nantuckets was a great experience overall. The price is on par for the area but the quality exceeds most. It's a great seafood menu that isn't pretentious. The blackened swordfish is topped with a mango salsa and served with asparagus. Everything on the plate was excellent! My only disappointment was because of the grilled oysters which had several bites with very hard bits. The flavor was wonderful but I think I had bad luck with two that probably should've been served. I'm sure it's an anomaly so won't keep me from returning or recommending. The service was good but could be a touch more attentive and friendly. The hostess me the bartender were excellent. The restaurant interior is nice and cozy and there's also outdoor seating with a nice enough view. I'm looking forward to coming back on my next trip. read more

Pear salad was good. The fish tacos that were batter fried were underwhelming. Berry old fashion was okay. Only us and another table there and we were on top of each other, why would you sit 2 tables next to each other. Overall the restaurant was super clean and pretty. Not sure if I'll be back. read more

A Port Jeff Gem! If you're looking for a great meal, great service and quaint atmosphere Nantucket's is the place to be... Duck wings and in house home made desserts is chefs kiss. read more

Totally not kiddie friendly. I had 3 toddlers with me and the waiter offered to pack my food to go before I had the chance to eat. The food was good the service needs work. read more

Great little place for breakfast. Coffee was hot and delicious and the pancakes were as big as my head! Could have split between all of us. Only issue was choice of and volume of music in dining room. Not conducive to a headache. read more

An excellent random choice for lunch today while strolling around Port Jeff. The lobster roll was stuffed with large chunks of warm lobster drizzled with butter and savory sweet. The baked clams starter was amply portioned and super tasty with a hint of bacon flavor. Super cordial staff. Great outdoor dining and also a great indoor seating area with lots of windows overlooking the town Note to owner: I drop a star only because I don't like the excessive credit card surcharge. read more

Came on a quiet Saturday afternoon around the time they had just opened. Very cute tucked away place in Port Jefferson. The service was very slow and only saw our waitress twice. Unable to ask for another drink or ask for the check since we hadn't seen our waitress since we got our food. The menu for brunch was average. The menu was small but was suffice. The food quality did not seem the best. We came on a nice fall day so maybe the quality of food goes down after the summer? Otherwise, there are plenty of other resuraunts that are of much better ambiance and quality around town. read more

Beautiful place! Food was top notch. Great service and the owner came to the table himself to greet us and make sure we were enjoying the dining experience. read more

Although directly adjacent to a parking lot, this spot is easy to miss since it's main entrance is on the "backside" of a street of shops. However I'm glad to say this was another example of Yelp steering us in the right direction both geographically and gastronomically. Hankering for a bit of seafood on our weekend trip, my friend and I arrived around 6:30pm on a Saturday, and were asked if we had reservations. We didn't so the waitress checked and considering this is still Covid times, we were seated in approximately 5 minutes. Most people sat outdoors on the patio which had an overhead awning set up. Around that time, there were about 6-8 tables of people sitting outdoors, split up between the two patio areas. Service was cordial and professional, and all wore masks and gloves. Sitting outside I wasn't 6 feet apart from the next table, which was overall ok since there was a nice breeze but it did feel slightly uncomfortable when the woman at the neighboring table sneezed 5 or six times in a row in the middle of dinner--our backs we facing each other but we were only a few feet apart. We ordered the soup of the day - New England clam chowder $11, mahi mahi fish tacos $21, and the seafood pasta $27. Every dish was delicious and plentiful. The seafood in the pasta dish was very fresh and perfectly cooked along with roasted plum tomatoes and delightfully al dente pappardelle in a light broth. Easily one of the best pasta dishes I've eaten in the past year! The clam chowder was creamy, and the just-done potatoes provided a nice slightly crisp texture. The fish tacos came with a delicious jicama slaw and slightly spicy chipotle aioli. I appreciated the fresh citrus in the salad, it helped brighten the dish--and the sweet plantains were prepared well too. My only note was that the fish in the tacos seemed a smidgen over cooked, but really overall it was a terrific meal. I would definitely come back again if I was in the area. read more

I think seeing how a restaurant makes up for something going wrong tells you a lot about about their level of service. So while I was on the receiving end of a Bloody Mary shower (sh!t happens), the staff went above and beyond to make it right and make sure we were ok. On top of that the food was great (very meaty lobster roll and a yummy lobster and shrimp hash) and next time I'll need to actually order the Bloody Mary as the bit that landed in my mouth was pretty tasty. read more

This was the first time eating out some place nice after being home all these months. I still feel iffy about sitting around people during this time. Even with social distancing. I decided to eat indoors because it was just too hot for me outside. There was one couple in there, but I still wanted to dine in. We sat more than 6 feet away from them. The staff had masks on when interacting with us. It was a lovely experience. The food was delicious and the drinks were refreshing. The staff and service were friendly and efficient. Here's what we ordered: - Mango Sangria - Virgin Bloody Mary - half dozen fresh oysters- served with tequila-lime cocktail sauce and mignonette sauce - Korean BBQ Boneless short ribs - with fried rice and baby bok choy - Marinated Grilled Skirt Steak - served with lobster red mashed potatoes and corn on the cob (cooked medium) It was a nice day out, I'm glad we chose this spot. We'll be back. I recommend read more

Food was great, service was well and timely. We had oysters- blue point, magi tacos, shrimp tacos, crab cakes, very tasty calamari with its sauce. read more

The service was great as was the location, however the food was pretty disappointing. In my opinion, three stars for service and venue and one star for food. I was served a badly burned crab cake they tried to hide by serving burned side down. Even the kids struggled to eat the bizarre oily deep fried French toast bite dish. The calamari was gigantic, tough, and barely edible. The poke had almost no tuna in it. If we go again we will plan to just get drinks. read more

Food was simply incredible. Possibly the best brunch dish I have ever had. My wife felt the same way. Looking forward to coming here again. It's a 90 minute drive for us. Well worth it! read more

So we had a reservation and there was a party so they put us by the door where it was freezing and we ordered two seafood dishes, which both had very overcooked shrimp at the end. We tried to split the check, but unfortunately they didn't know how to do that so we ended up paying it the way they chose which was 75/25 don't plan on going back... read more

I made reservations for 9 people not knowing anyone who had eaten here before because of the reviews. Everyone in our party loved their food. We order Maui Maui Tacos, Steak & eggs, lobster roll sandwich, grilled veggie sandwich, avocado benny, and chocolate chip Pancakes. The mimosa, poinsettia, whiskey sour and the very delicious lobster bloody mary. read more
