Went in right when they opened and inside looks like your typical nice pub. Hostess was friendly and sat us upstairs immediately. Service was good and both food and drinks came out quickly. Food was nice and hot so you know it was cooked fresh. Started with a blackberry whiskey smash which was perfect. Ordered fish and chips, clam chowder, cheese pizza and mac and cheese. All were very good. Only thing I would not get again would be the fish and chips. The fish just had too much batter. Felt like all you were eating was batter. Overall a good place and would certainly go back.

The next thing you'll notice is that the staff is very friendly and really trying to manage the chaos that is being caused by a chaotic kitchen. We were seated directly in-front of the kitchen, so we saw everything: - two or three wait staff anxiously waiting for orders in front of the service station (pick-up) area; - a chef continually looking at an inappropriate movie that was playing on a screen that was oddly positioned where the kitchen staff could view it (WHY) - a kitchen staff that was either doing nothing or working frantically - this is an indication of very poor management; - mediocre appetizers but passable - the entrées were ridiculously poor. I'll only describe mine to save time, but trust each of four were failures. The nerve to send to the table a beautiful piece of blue fin tuna that smelled like the gas used by a small propane gun, that had been partially burned - like on 1/2 of the fish. This shows zero respect for this beautiful creature or the people who ordered it. The lobster risotto that was beneath the fish was cold, lacked any flavor of lobster, and looked as though it had been thrown on the plate from across the room, and then to have the nerve to charge $60 + dollars is ridiculous. We of course requested to speak with the manager, who immediately came to our table, empathized and apologized, we felt heard. He then comped our entire meal which was very generous and appreciated. The chef then came over to apologize, and stated, "I'm so sorry, we dropped a pan and that threw everything off". WHAT? Buddy, we sat there and watched the chaos in your kitchen. The problemS, are not the result of a dropped pan. Apology appreciated, lame excuse was unnecessary and again demonstrated a lack of respect or intelligence. I may return alone, just to see if anything has changed or what show is on the TV.

We tried both the hot and cold lobster rolls, and honestly, you can't go wrong with either. Both were so good, and the portions definitely did not disappoint.

Definitely worth the wait and easily one of my favorite meals on the island!

I…read morerecommended this restaurant to my friends based on the reviews and it did not disappoint - the food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. To start, a couple of us ordered oysters as an appetizer and they were delicious, fresh and tasty. For our main courses, we ordered filet mignon, chicken, lobster tagliatelle and tuna from the diverse menu. Each one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Everything was cooked exactly as ordered and seasoned perfectly. We also ordered a few sides, such as the roasted carrots with cashew butter, brussel sprouts with pork landons and my favorite - the scallion goat cheese mash, which were mashed potatoes packed with yumminess! Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent service, while the ambience was quite comfortable and inviting. I remembered reading reviews about the carrot cake and although we were all full, we knew we had to try it so we got one slice for the five of us and it may have been the best carrot cake I've ever eaten. If you like carrot cake this is a must and well worth it. If you're in Edgartown, I would definitely include 19 Raw in your restaurant list.

We started with the lobster and caviar Hawaiian roll, which was flavorful and delicious. The grilled octopus served over pork and white beans was another standout--the flavor profile here was top tier. Honestly, the appetizers had me expecting the rest of the meal to be on the same level. Unfortunately, the entrées were a different story. The rack of lamb was cooked perfectly temperature-wise, but the lack of seasoning was unbelievable. The execution was there, but it desperately needed flavor. We also ordered the halibut, which was extremely dry--to the point that I couldn't finish it. The sides brought things back around. The jalapeño corn and Brussels sprouts were both and packed with flavor. And then there was the Filthy Dirty Rich Martini with caviar-stuffed olives --AMAZING. Easily one of the highlights of the night and something I would absolutely order again. Overall, 19 Raw nails the ambiance, cocktails, appetizers, and service. The appetizers in particular showed just how good the kitchen can be, which made the disappointing entrées even more surprising. I'd come back, but next time I might stick to cocktails, appetizers, and small plates.

The medium rare steak was a good size, perfectly cooked, and well-paired with the sauce. The lobster was also perfectly cooked and portion size was adequate. I had the halibut with risotto.

I finally got a chance to dine there with a friend during my most recent visit in late May and I was really delighted. The service was friendly and our waitress gave helpful recommendations on the menu but the food delivery was on the slower side. For dinner we shared the sweet potato rolls, smokes cauliflower, bolognese and the halibut. Favorite dish was far and away the smoked cauliflower. It was absolutely outstanding. The flavors and textures were perfection. The halibut and the pasta were also both great.

We were given menus and water, and after about 15 minutes the server came to tell us the special. We asked if we could order drinks, and we did. They came fairly quickly and were very good. Then we waited about 25 minutes and finally had to get the servers attention to order our dinner. That was a bit surprising, to wait that long without anyone coming to check on us. In any case, once we ordered the food arrived in a timely fashion. My Little Gem salad was delicious, with roasted squash and cornbread crumbles. The menu said crab, but I'm not sure it was on there. One issue with the upstairs, while it is cozy it is dark so it made it difficult to see the food. My husband loved his tuna tartare (as did I ) and our guest enjoyed her Little Gem salad. She had informed the waitress that she has Alpha Gal, so they left off the cornbread crumbles, and brought a little side ramekin of the crispy chicken skin crumbles that they use on their chicken dish. Very considerate! My main course of black cod was outstanding! The menu stated that it came on a saffron infused lobster fregola, which turned out to be small balls of pasta (sort of like Israeli couscous) and it was amazing. Big chunks of lobster were included, which was totally unexpected. The fish was perfectly cooked, with the skin crispy. My husband's pork chop was amazing. The flavor was spectacular! It came with a wild mushroom risotto, which he loved. He doesn't "like" mushrooms and he said if he had read that detail on the menu (again, sort of dark) he might not have ordered it. But now he said he would again! Our guest was so happy with her Alpha Gal friendly pan seared halibut. We were all so happy with the meal, despite the delay initially with the service. A very lovely evening, and surprisingly for us, no leftovers!

It was still quite chilly outside but we were sandwiched between two heaters which made it very manageable. Our waitress was wonderful and service was incredibly prompt which I appreciate because I have noticed that service on the island is generally more relaxed (i.e. slow). For appetizers we shared the baby gem salad and the pork bolognese. Both good but the pork bolognese was a small but mighty star. Pasta was perfectly al dente and we really enjoyed the goat cheese with the pork. For our mains we ordered the pork chop, halibut and mushroom lasagna. The portions were large and we were all satisfied with our orders (though the pork chop was quite salty). Enjoyed this enough that I would for sure come back.
