Food was outstanding. Loved the Tuna Poke Nachos. Server was very attentive. If I ever get back to Martha's Vineyard will eat here again.

Blackberry bourbon drink and the Tuna nachos.
Andrea R.

We actually ate here twice while in town. Our first trip we shared Tuna nachos and a Caesar salad with chicken. The tuna nachos were so big. They were delicious. The Caesar salad was a large salad perfect for sharing. The piece of chicken was small but not a problem since we were sharing other food. Our second trip we had the cod tacos. The piece of cod was huge! It actually took up the whole tortilla. These tacos were also delicious! Great food and excellent service. We sat at the upstairs bar both times.

Came here for a late lunch after we settled in from traveling to the island. A lot of restaurants are typically closed around 3/4pm but Rockfish was a great option! The venue is pretty big. We got seated at a table upstairs with a window view outside. For food, I got the beet salad with an addition of crab cake and a cup of clam chowder. Both seafood options were fresh and flavorful and the veggies were fresh. I loved that the goat cheese on the salad wasn't overwhelming. The staff was also friendly and attentive. Would come back again

Edgartown is a foodie heaven to me. Every restaurant I went to was amazing. Rockfish was a spontaneous choice, and I'm so happy I went. It was not busy when I went so service was very fast. The truffle risotto balls are to die for. The cheese sauce was so creamy and went so well with the creaminess of the risotto and the crispy coating. The margherita pizza was so so delicious. My fiancee hates eating the crust, but he ate this one. The dough was crispy and also pillowy. The ratio of toppings was on point.

Lobster Roll hot
Phoutt H.

My sisters and I had just arrived in the Vineyard and I was in the hunt for a lobster roll. The shack was closed so we headed to Rockfish. The interior and atmosphere was just your typical bar and grill type of restaurant. Nothing special or unique about it. The staff were all friendly and attentive. I had the lobster roll served hot. The sandwich was loaded with scrumptious, large pieces of lobster meat plus a large serving of small cut fries. The burrata was also fresh. It's just a basic bar but the food was excellent.

Truffle fries
Ron R.

Nice place to grab a bite, drink, or both. I also understand they are one of the few restaurants to stay open year round. We popped in for a late lunch. We ordered the truffle fries 4.5/5, seared cod tacos 3/5, and fish and chips 4.5/5. The service is good. The atmosphere is modern pub.

Rockfish caught my eye while we did a tour of Martha's Vineyard. We finished the tour at Oak Bluff then took the free bus to Edgartown. Rockfish is about a 5 minute walk from where the bus stop is in Edgar town. We four (4) were immediately seated in the bar area. Our server was very welcoming and gracious. Our cocktails and beers were great but the stars were the food especially the risotto balls and Cobb salad. The risotto balls were fantastic ....extremely flavorful. I think these are a "Must Have" at Rockfish. If you're in the mood for something healthier then their Cobb salad is an excellent choice. A great place esp if you're looking for something on the laid back quieter side in Edgar town.

The baked cod with pine nuts black currents topped with frise and mashed potatoes I had the burre Blanc sauce on the side
Chris A.

We sat at the upstairs bar our bartender Tyler and David were so attentive to us. I really like eating dinner at the bar the food is always so good here. Never had to send it back I have the baked cod with such a nice presentation and it was nice and hot. The fish was so flaky looking around at everyone's meals looked so good. I love the brick pizza oven too always a great meal and the downstairs is really fun too have drinks a different atmosphere love it

Mussels
Ashley F.

Okay, so I definitely tried and adored Rockfish while on the island. Aside from a sandy mussel, dinner was delicious. We had mussels, arancini, burata and my friend devoured a bowl of chowder. The ambiance is bougie and special. The staff were a delight, too. I'd highly recommend for a nice dinner.

Tomato Bisque
Jennifer B.

Wow--Rockfish is an absolute gem in the heart of Martha's Vineyard! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm, attentive service that made us feel right at home. The ambiance is coastal-chic with rustic touches--beautiful lighting, cozy seating, and a great vibe that blends upscale with laid-back island charm. We were seating in a cozy table upstairs with a beautiful window view. Now, onto the food: the lobster rolls are next level. Perfectly buttered and toasted buns packed with fresh, sweet lobster--simple, generous, and delicious. The clam chowder was creamy without being too heavy, with just the right balance of briny clams and savory herbs. I also tried the tomato bisque, and it was velvety, rich, and bursting with fresh flavor--definitely one of the best I've had. The calamari was delicious with a perfect crispy batter that wasn't too heavy and very well seasoned. Everything came out hot and beautifully presented, and the staff checked in often enough to make sure we had everything we needed, without ever hovering. If you're visiting the Vineyard, Rockfish is a must. Whether you're looking for a relaxed dinner or a standout seafood experience, this place delivers.

Didn't need to wait on a Saturday for lunch and they have a bar and two level seating right off Main Street. Ordered the Tuscan wings which were dry rub and slightly overcooked but not bad. The cod was a highlight especially the crust and placing it on top of the string bean salad. Amazing dish. Crab cakes were good in size and not too salty.

Steamed Mussels
Venus M.

the bread with the mussels. sooo goodddd. great service. and plenty of screens to watch the game.

Inside
Mike M.

I really like this place. It's a bit tight inside and at times you may need to wait for a table. I'm not really sure how it works but we got one for two fairly quickly. Large group seems to have to wait even on a Monday night. The food was well proportioned similar prices, other places on the island And the bar was extremely large. Probably takes up about half of the space if you consider a large one downstairs and a large one upstairs, then make great cocktails, but the food was fresh and appetizing we got serve fairly quickly, was in and out in less than an hour. They use toast for payment and bring it to your table so things are quick and easy.

Went for dinner last night. Very friendly service and greeting. We were seated upstairs, which was…read morea surprise. I've probably been here 5 times and never realized there was an upstairs! 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.

The restaurant is a beautiful, elegant but cozy spot. The outdoor seating is absolutely beautiful for a nice evening. We were there right at opening and were seated outside fairly quickly! Our waiter was welcoming and pleasant. Wished me a happy birthday (multiple times) but nice. There was a cute birthday card at the table but nothing more (most high end establishments usually offer a glass of champs, but I digress ) The menu is moderate not overwhelming with too many options. How do you NOT start your meal with Oysters Rockefeller when they are on the menu? Great choice, they were creamy and delicious. I am typically not a pasta girl but something was calling me about the Mushroom Bolognese! So....I ordered it. Along with a glass of Filipa Pato, which was fabulous! The pasta was phenomenal and I don't use that word lightly, it was amazing. My friend ordered the Bobo's Two Pound Wok Fired Island Lobster and she loved it. She paired her meal with a Smokey old fashioned. No notes! So after a great meal we a bought the check and offer up two cards for our separate checks. Somehow our waiter ends up charging both checks to my credit card. I didn't realize it until the next day. How does that happen. An almost perfect review, but attention to detail matters. Would I return, absolutely! Go enjoy!

I had to send back my crab cakes as they were literally burnt to a crisp. My husband got a mocktail in a hot glass and it tasted so bad neither of us could take more than a sip. My husbands clam chowder was heavy, salty and had a coagulated layer on top. His lobster pasta came out lukewarm and completely bland. Only good dish was my lobster bisque which was very tasty. Beautiful location, lovely ambience and great server but the food was a big, big disappointment. Despite sending 2 items back, no manager came over to us. We saw a table beside us send back their entree and did not want it replaced knowing the quality would likely be equally as bad. At least they seemed to have management address the issue. Would not recommend at all.

I ordered the roasted half chicken with spaghetti squash and my wife ordered the surf and turf(steak and lobster). My dish was overloaded with sauce which made it really salty. Additionally, my chicken was undercooked in the middle. Although it wasn't pink, it was still mushy so I requested that they re-fire the uneaten portion. My wife's food was extremely bland as if they didn't put any seasoning in it. Lastly, the server mentioned dessert so we decided to give it a try. She suggested the apple pie w/vanilla ice cream...again, another miss. It was more like cobbler because there was no actual crust, the apples were mushy, and the texture was somewhat pasty. We had plenty of leftovers and contemplated leaving them at the restaurant. Overall, could not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a quality meal.

Just sweet enough, and the fruit to complemented it wonderfully. With this meal, I sipped a Valckenberg 2020 Gewürztraminer which tasted of peach with a slight nutmeg finish. I ended the night on the large front porch sipping an old-fashioned blended with a suggested whiskey I hadn't before heard of, Ben Holiday. It was a solid choice, thanks to my server. The staff is friendly, engaging, and always ready to assist and, though not overbearing, they tend to you with expert ability. The room is small, 10 tables, 3-4 booths, and a very quiet room facing the Main Street in the town, where I was seated. I will make a return trip to Chesca's on my next visit.
