    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.

    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.

    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.

    Inside

    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.

    Lobster roll
    Shirley N.

    We had a couple of hours for lunch in Edgartown having arrived by car ferry as part of our organized motor coach tour of the New England fall foliage tour. On our lobster roll quest we stopped at a restaurant where they posted out of lobster rolls. Now what. It's shoulder season and many establishments are closed for the season. We walked up the block and noticed Rockfish. Lucky for us they were opened. The five of us were led upstairs to the dining room/bar. Right away we spotted lobster rolls on the menu. Our server said good choice as they're known for the best lobster rolls. Hubby wanted mussels. He suggested he & I split a lobster roll and the mussels. The mussels were served in a nice kettle with four wedges of buttered toast. Very fresh. Then he split the lobster roll. It was delicious. So sweet. I wished I had my own. The lobster meat was very delicate compared to the ones we had in Boston & Plymouth. If you're contemplating having a lobster roll here you can't go wrong. We had a great server. She was very professional and very friendly.

    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.

    Lobster rolls one with mayonnaise one with butter
    Cassandra B.

    By far the best lobster rolls I've ever had!! Both the butter one and the mayonnaise one were delicious!! And the AMOUNT OF LOBSTER in these rolls, are you serious right now!?? Get out of town!! I would take the ferry everyday to get this if I could!! You need to try it!! The vibe was also really chill and it was more of a nice dinning experience rather than I seafood shake so that was awesome too! You have to try it!!

    Cobb salad, sauteed(buttered) lobster roll. Both were outstanding.
    Ken W.

    First trip to the Vinyard and decided to stop here for lunch as wife noticed "jumbo" lobster roll on menu posted outside(always appreciate places who do that). Good looking place and we got seated quickly and service started soon afterwards, wife ordered Cobb Salad no bleu cheese and I got the sautéed(buttered) lobster roll and chowder. Wife liked her salad and lobster roll was outstanding, they really piled on the meat and chowder was also really good. Plenty of options in Etown to eat but hard to imagine any better than Rockfish, highly recommend.

    Truly the best food on Martha's Vineyard Island. No other competition. Lobster challenge met!!

    Truffled Mac & Cheese
    Christian L.

    Phenomenal quality and flavorful dishes! The poke nachos had very fresh fish and the nachos were light and crunchy. Adding wasabi mayo amplified the flavors. Tomatoes and avocado gave it a light touch to the dish. The lobster roll was phenomenal, it had really fresh lobster stacked to the top. Rockfish overloaded the well toasted roll with lobster which I really appreciate. The fries were alright, not the best but the roll made up for it. Overall, the restaurant was a bit pricey but the large portions and flavorful dishes made up for it. The ambiance was lively and open and the staff were kind and efficient. I would recommend going here with your friends on a fancier night out or with your siblings to treat them to!

    Got here just in time ! Shops and restaurants are starting to open up for the season so we had the island all to ourselves. Although It was a bit nippy, we enjoyed the sunshine during our walks through the sleepy towns - spotted Rockfish and because I was craving a lobster roll - in we came ! The roll was delicious, my husband's fish and chips crunchy and flavorful- our gracious server was HCristina (think I spelled that right) from Serbia and she was just charming and fabulous! Great meal and wonderful service!

They have multiple seating areas which you book in advance. Each area has a different menu we sat Under the stars on the patio. Food was amazing I ordered the chicken and my husband ordered the haddock. Food tasted amazing. Serving sizes are worth the price I was stuffed. We started with bread fyi you pay for the bread. Something we didn't know. Bread was worth it, would have liked more transparency there. Drinks are great. I forgot the name of the cocktail I ordered but shoutout the bartender. We also got a free champagne toast for our anniversary which was greatly appreciated. I would 10/10 recommend this place if you're in town.

    Atria is usually the last stop for us whenever we're on Martha's Vineyard, and it never…read moredisappoints. This time we went with friends, which meant I got to sample a little bit of everything -- the short ribs, wok-fried lobster, and a massive slice of carrot cake that took me two days to finish at home. We also enjoy getting dressed up to come here since they've got the white tablecloths my wife looks for when she's sipping her drink -- so don't show up straight from the beach in flip-flops and a tee. The vibe is always relaxed but elevated, the food and drinks are on point, and the service never misses. That's why we keep coming back.

    **BEST MEAL EVER**…read more AMBIANCE (4/5): It was a nice sunny day and they had plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the sun and people watch (although there weren't many people walking by). SERVICE (4/5): There weren't many tables, but service was good. We weren't in a rush and taking our time, so it was the perfect pace for us. FOOD (5/5): EVERYTHING WAS A 10/10! $4 EACH PER OYSTER: we tried the signature, honeysuckle, and top shell. They were all delicious and served with a vinegar, kimchee slaw, and cocktail sauce. All of them were so refreshing and great as an appetizer! $23 TUNA CARPACCIO: fresh, lemon sauce & crunchy tobiko eggs. The presentation is immaculate! $22 BLUE CRAB SLIDER: the homemade chips it comes with is AMAZING! Love any homemade chips. Served on a sweet Hawaiian roll, it's beautifully plated and blue crab is better than lobster in my opinion! $15 HOUSE MADE CHOWDER: can't go wrong with chowder! $36 HERB BAKED COD: so perfectly seasoned and cooked so it's soft but flaky. Comes à la carte. DRINKS (5/5): $19 PUMPKIN ESPRESSO MARTINI: this was a seasonal drink and it was SOOO GOOD! $20 BACON OLD FASHIONED: this was EVEN BETTER than the pumpkin martini! Candied bacon, and a perfectly crafted cocktail.

The curry mussels were so good everyone was using the sauce on other items. We had a 10 person group and everyone got to share. Surprisingly, my favorite item was the carrots side. It had a delicious sauce and was tender and sweet. The broccolini would have been good but it was very undercooked and hard to eat. The crawfish and lobster pasta was overcooked and a little mushy. Those are the only two items out of a ton of items that I didn't like. Everything else was delicious and I would order again. I would also go back and try other things on the menu that we didn't get.
