An hour and still no food. No bread, no eye contact from our waiter. The food turned out to be okay but considering the money and location we expected more. Would be our last choice for dinner when vacationing read more

Three words: buffalo fried cauliflower! I'm a huge fan of all things cauliflower but this is definitely among my top favorites. I'd usually be deterred by the word "fried" but I had a bite of my friend's cauliflower appetizer and wished I had ordered it for myself! Even my other friend, who hates all things of and relating to veggies, was raving about it! I had the steamed clams appetizer as my entrée and they were absolutely perfect - plenty of garlic and white wine. Luckily I'm pescatarian, because there is only one vegetarian entree and it's fairly uninspired and vague: just "starches and vegetables." There also aren't too many allergen-friendly options so just do your research if you're following a particular diet or have any allergies. My server was happy to leave the cheese off my salad though, so it's always worth asking if the dish can be modified. My friends all had flatbreads and enjoyed them a lot! Service was super friendly and atmosphere was really great, albeit a bit loud on the night we were there. You'll definitely need a reservation if you're there during the season. read more

Rockfish is a perfect match for Edgartown. It's great looking, has two bars not one (lots of happy drinking goes on in Edgartown), offers pricey food and attracts an upscale crowd of year rounders and visitors. They also have the pizza oven from Lattanzi's, a former Edgartown favorite. It's a hot, hot, hot spot in terms of energy and celebrations for any reason, but be prepared to fork over the big bucks for very small portions that may not be too memorable. I was really stunned by my tiny little salad which I paid over $10 for and was just plain dull. It was my main course (they advertise and push small plates), and I was really taken aback. I don't eat meat but was lusting after my friend's very expensive roast chicken dish, that is for sure. Even the small salads at the dreaded chain restaurants off island are bigger, fatter and more tasty than this. Not to mention less expensive. I'm very used to the high prices on the Vineyard, but that salad was a new low. We have been there twice with a group each time, and both times they messed up with the check. They did fix it, but their batting average is questionable. Cocktails are really good, service is slow and detached, and customers, including me and my friends of course, are all having a good time. Drop in for some fun, the possibility of a new love interest and some laughs, but bring lots of $$ and be prepared to raid the fridge when you get home. read more

Place is legit, Thursday and Friday's (off season) they do pass around apps of a variety of things, can get crowded later in the evening. But it's dope because you get free apps of theirs menu so can try a large portion for the menu in one visit read more

Atmosphere is hip and cool. The service slow and in my opinion the food was just ok. I thought the lobster flat bread was not as great as described by other reviewers. It was a good sized portion but a bit bland. The "homemade" fettuccine with seafood was a bit over cooked and not up to our expectations. My mom said her lobster dish was also over cooked and a bit chewy. The Brussel sprouts were soggy but we did enjoy the buffalo style cauliflower. Would not be the first place I would recommend in Edgartown.... read more

The coziest, coolest restaurant on the Vineyard! A small upstairs and downstairs dining facility, lightly lit up in the evening, overlooking the beautiful bustling downtown Edgartown. It's a cross between a local pub and a fine dining experience. They specialize in cauliflower in some of their dishes and it's a very splendid touch. Buffalo Cauliflower is really good. The muscles are on point. So is the swordfish. But despite it's great variety of excellent quality fish, I wouldn't hesitate to tell you to get the fried chicken. It's so damn good, and it comes with roasted corn, mash and coleslaw. What could be better? Rockfish is a rocking good time. read more

Well the dirty entrance should be a sign of how much they care. It's a shame that the quality of food has gone down as the atmosphere is really quite nice. The $16 mojito was , well I didn't finish it. The mint is pulverized so you can't avoid a mouthful with every sip. The wigs used to be fantastic. Now they are regular small fried wings with no flavor at all except the grease. No seasoning, no sauce. I was sick all night. I was not the only person to order them and they were equally disappointed. The short rib pasta dinner tasted like boiled beef in Lipton soup mix. I literally had to spit it out. I believe they are catering to vacationers eating there once and not worried they won't come back. AWFUL. read more

We had an excellent meal starting off with the Buffalo cauliflower and wings.. yum!! The tuna entree was phenomenal , the bolognese was excellent, and burger delicious! The service was fantastic. Can't wait to go back! read more

We went for drinks and the bartenders downstairs were wonderful! Friendly and lively! We had a great time and the drinks were great! The music selection was super too! read more

We celebrated our anniversary here. The food was fantastic. Beautifully plated and so delicious. Our server Marta, helped us with the menu. We love Rockfish read more

Solid 4 stars. Sat upstairs. Nice vibe and much bigger than it looks from the street. Service was very good--prompt and friendly. We had the brussels sprouts appetizer, which was excellent. The pan seared halibut was good, but a bit dry. Risotto served with it was amazing. Seared tuna was very good, but a little too cooked (not really rare) and could have used a but more flavor. Would return for sure. read more

Always great and Kyle is such a warm and friendly bartender. He always has suggestions and is very helpful with the menu

Such a great find! Everything we had was spectacular and the portions are generous. Make sure to try the brussel sprouts special. The service was impeccable, overall a solid spot. Ask for a table upstairs by the window-great views! read more

Service was good, apps and drinks good. Main courses were expensive and all over done. Steak, pork chops, and sword fish all very dry and over cooked. Considering the price and how great the apps were I was expecting way higher quality. Maybe the chef had an off day read more

I'm not typically a reviewer but the experience we had with this place is unreal! The supposed manager (Nathan Briggs) was such a lunatic we actually ended up calling the police because he physically harassed us. My husband and I went here for dinner on Thurs 9/29/22 while visiting the island. I ordered a bottle of wine (planning to take the remainder of the bottle back to the inn), my husband ordered a non-alcoholic beer, and an appetizer. It was a Pinot Grigio with a screw top which seemed safe enough to tell the server she could just pour the glass, no tasting necessary. Surprisingly the bottle was bad--the equivalent to drinking a jar of pickle juice. The server said we were stuck with it because I opted to not sample. Then the person (Nathan Briggs) claiming to be the manager proceeded to tell me they were charging us for the bottle because it wouldn't be fair for them to eat the cost just because I didn't like it. And they wouldn't be able to sell it by the glass to anyone else because it had been on our table. Keep in mind, the retail was only $45 which means they likely paid $12 or so. If that. Furthermore, the bottle was bad so why the heck would they sell it by the glass regardless of it being on our table?? The guy couldn't seem to grasp that it wasn't a matter of personal taste, it was a bad bottle and not drinkable. He did finally remove the bottle from the table but still insisted we had to pay for it. My husband and I decided to stop arguing and just leave enough cash on the table to cover the beer, appetizer, and tax and leave. The very large bartender tried to stop us, insisting we must pay for this wine that we didn't drink nor have in our possession. We walked out anyway and Nathan Briggs followed us outside refusing to accept that we were not paying for the bad wine. He said he was following us to get our license plate #. Since we didn't have a car there he said was going to follow us until he figured out where we were staying. This craziness went on for a few blocks until I finally called the non-emergency police to report the harassment. The officer was nearby and met us outside of another restaurant to make sure we were able to proceed with our night without worrying about this lunatic following us in there too. I guess the guy gave up by that point and went back to work--we didn't see him after talking with the officer. This is by far the most unprofessional establishment I've ever encountered! read more

Great dinner party for 5 people. Amazing shared flat bread and pork belly to start. All enjoyed different main dishes that were excellent. Swordfish, tuna, steak, fried oyster and the scallops were each a generous portion with delicious flavors. I would highly recommend going for a drink and appetizer or an enjoyable dinner for a special occasion. We will be back!!! read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch on a Saturday around 1pm. Sat at the bar and was pretty surprised to see the place was almost empty. I ordered a Grilled Cheese sandwich since I wasn't super hungry and needed to be in and out quickly. More than TWENTY minutes later I received my "grilled cheese" which consisted of a hamburger bun flipped inside out and two pieces of barely melted cheese. Not to mention the outside of the bun was completely burnt. I mean...BLACK! Best part? They charged me TEN DOLLARS! I had people waiting for me and service was almost nonexistent, so I just ate the fries and the quarter of the sandwich that wasn't burnt and rushed to catch up with my friends. In hindsight, I wished I'd said something because this one horrible experience just ensured that I will never go back there again. The fact that a kitchen could send out that garbage and the server didn't say a thing prove to me that they just don't care. read more

Went here with my family with all different taste buds! Their kids pizza was PERFECT for my younger cousins. The cocktails were yummy for the adults. The waitress was super friendly and very willing to help. I got the filet with veggies, which was super yummy! The starter salad was great too. My only complaint is that many things are fried on the menu... which is not something I can eat due to many food sensitivities so it did limit me a bit. Will definitely be back next summer :) read more

Walked in host was friendly, we were a party of 2 and were brought to jammed row of 2 tops. Asked host if we could sit a table for 4 by window. He informed us they were for 4 people only. Ok we sat at a high top by bar. Later host allowed 2 other parties of 2 to sit at 4 top...wow thanks. So ordered pork taco- they are dry and have NO taste your side dish is corn and black beans that tasted like they are right out of a can. ALSO NO substitutions of any kind are allowed not even on salad not even a different kind of lettuce that's on the menu. Waitstaff very friendly and atmosphere is nice. read more

We will be back! Staff was outstanding food was amazing, made a great night extra enjoyable!

Always a great time at Rockfish. Great environment along with a awesome menu and a solid beer list. Always have had great interactions with the staff. read more

I've been here multiple times and never had a bad meal. Downstairs can be noisy, so I always request to eat upstairs. At my most recent trip here we had the buffalo cauliflower, lobster flatbread, wings, steak, and scallops... all of which were excellent. They have a great selection of cocktails. The highlight of the night was the strawberry shortcake we had for dessert! It was huge! read more

Rockfish - Delicious Strawberry Shortcake! - Pizza Near Me - Edgartown, Massachusetts

On a hot august day it was cool well lit and very clean. Had a salad with pistachios and a very nice not to tart cheese dressing. The roast beef sandwich was fresh with lots of roast beef and tasty brioche roll, plus a huge pile of crispy homemade shoestring fries. Friendly quick service and extensive beer and wine choices. Great find in Edgar town! read more

My husband and I have been to Rockfish several times. The food has always been very good and they catered to some special dietary needs. Blackberry Mohito was delish - I had scallops from the menu and my husband had halibut but the specials. Both were great! It is a bit loud but not a show stopper. We will definitely be going back read more

We had dinner at Rickfish purely by chance on a very busy night on Memorial Day weekend. The food and service were first class on a global scale. Typically and too often servers want to become your best buddies and constantly interrupt your meal and conversation, but then are absent when needed. Not here. Servers seemed to know exactly when and what was needed by every person in our party, without being intrusive or hovering. The bar service was *fast* and generous. The food was really outstanding with generous portions, and served with perfect timing between courses. Very comfortable casual atmosphere perfect for the 'island' experience! If you go to just one restaurant on Martha's Vineyard, make it Rockfish in Edgartown. read more

Very disappointed in this restaurant. I've eaten there a few times when I would have given it 3 stars - ok but not great. This last visit was the pits. I ordered a shrimp dish that is not spicy and confirmed that there was no spicy-ness with the server. From the first and only bite it was fire hot. Had to return that and was not asked if I wanted anything else. I also ordered a wedge salad which came with a white dressing that had absolutely no flavor, just liquid white poured over half the plate. The shining moment was that I requested half a draft beer (8 oz v 16 oz) and that request was met with a smile. read more

I decided to try this place the other night, quiet down stairs when we walked in. Decided to sit upstairs at the pizza bar and it was busy for a Monday. The waitress was nice, and the service was ok. We ordered apps and drinks, then asked her to come back for our following course of food. We got the Tasso ham fritters and a flat bread. When it got put in front of me I laughed at how little food there was. 8$ for 3 tater tots and a dot of aoli, 2 micro green springs were a subtlety way of the kitchen laughing at the money they make with this plate. I couldn't believe it. The flat bread was about the size of a island size slice of pizza, (half the size of a New York slice) for 12$ and not even close to a decent amount of toppings. After eating 3 tots I was more hungry than when I walked in, so I got a different flat bread than my buddy. There was literally 2 slices of pepperoni on the whole thing. I walked right into that one. I couldn't convince myself to get 22$ more invested into this and get a main. This experience was unfortunate, I wanted to like this new year round place a lot. There's not a lot to choose from this time of year, it would be great to feel like I got my money's worth, but I guess that's too much to expect in EDG. I've been a cook on island a long time and I know how far my dollar should stretch. This was just a place I was happy to leave with under 55$ for 2 guys for just apps and 2 beers on special. We didn't indulge in the 12$ cocktails although they sounded good. The service was about 4 stars, atmosphere gets 5 stars because of the pizza oven and the upstairs/down stairs bar scenes, someone put money into this place. Food gets 1 star, you guys got to step the game up or this will be a one season wonder this summer. I can't justify going back again. Cheers read more

Went to the Rockfish Friday night. It was super busy but they managed to get us in quick. The service was very attentive and with a smile. The food was very good. We got the Salmon, the double burger, wings and the ravioli. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend! read more

I live on island, therefore I've pretty much gone to every restaurant there is. Rockfish is amazing, it blows the top off of any of any other restaurant in Edgartown. The food is so flavorful & service is awesome! Love the buffalo cauliflower and scallops are on point. If you're visiting the island I highly recommend!! read more

Delicious meal (although weirdly, there was no rockfish on the menu). Brussels sprouts and seared tuna were especially tasty.

Fantastic new addition to Edgartown. Two floors of great decor, two large bars and plenty of seating. Displayed prominently upstairs is a large stone oven which gives a nice glow to the floor. The bar staff are eager to serve and friendly. Like most of my haunts in etown parking can be challenging on weekends but this is worth driving around a few times to visit. read more

I just had the best vegetarian meal of my life! Now Rockfish certainly is not a vegetarian restaurant, but they make sure the options are not a house salad and ravioli. I ordered the vegetarian platter which consisted of the chef's choice of vegetables and starches so it was a pleasant surprise as to what showed up which I enjoyed. Tonight's dish included asparagus, brussels sprouts, haricots verts, roasted and mashed potatoes, and spinach among other items. My sister had the pork carnitas tacos and we shared a grilled romaine salad, both of which were delicious. Rockfish has a bar on each level and the whole feel was inviting and laid back. Our server (Guinevere?) was friendly, fun and efficient. We will definitely be visiting Rockfish again during our next trip to the Vineyard. read more

I've lived on island since the days when the Black Dog Tavern wasn't a T-shirt distributorship, but actually was one of the best restaurants in the Northeast (this takes you back to the early 1980's, kids). Since then, most of the "island priced" eat-out restaurants (i.e.,$22-40 entree priced) restaurants have been, you know, pretty good...a good meal, but nothing to go particularly crazy over. This covers even the impressive likes of Atria, Water, Lamberts Cove Country Inn, even State Rd. most nights. No disrespect, a solidly really good meal, but one can't help thinking one could get the same thing for 25% less on the mainland or in Boston. Went to Rockfish last night. It breaks the mold. Without question or qualification, the best restaurant currently operating on Martha's Vineyard. Went in on a night when, oddly, every other restaurant in two blocks away was quoting over 1 hr. wait, we were able to get seated right away at Rockfish. Very pleasant and attentive staff, with a particularly engaging waiter. Two entrees: the swordfish, and I got the scallops with crispy asparagus and risotto. Each exploded with flavors that were clearly the result of some seriously, seriously deep culinary thinking and research. The chicken wing appetizer--omg, how they used that brick oven to completely evaporate all traces of grease, leave a perfectly Tuscan grilled crust, and yet retain moisture is a complete miracle. Very good wine and beer list. Prices *are* a bit higher than some of the surrounding trendy places (e.g., Port Hunter) by a couple of bucks, but Rockfish is truly a culinary experience. read more

Great food and atmosphere! A beautiful bar downstairs and an excellent dinner atmosphere upstairs. We went on a Friday and were given delicious free apps! They were so good we had dinner there the next night. read more

Amazing flavors! The calamari salad was perfection and the salmon over risotto was a dream. read more

Went in for my second time last night. The first time was in September, I had a wonderful experience that I never wrote about, and after the great experience I had last night I decided I owed a review! Kelli M took care of my mom and I last night and was genuinely sweet, attentive and professional. We had the Brussels sprouts, Mac and cheese flat bread, short rib and filet mignon.. All wonderful. We chose to sit downstairs because upstairs seems to get a little loud for our liking. Overall 5 stars for service, food, drinks .. Becoming one of my favorite places. Will definitely be going back :) read more

The main problem I have with the restaurant isn't the food- which wasn't all that bad. We ordered the shrimp and guys- great shrimp, well cooked and the grits were phenomenal and the bacon was just the right amount of crispy, the potato gnocchi- the gnocchi was alright and the sausage was delicious as well as the brocolini, the parmesan on top was a little bitter though (?), and the cod, well cooked and a great pair with the creamy mashed potato. The entire meal however seemed to be doused in a lemony sauce which was kind of odd. Now for why they only receive one star: the service. Yes usually service is not that bad that it cancels out the food, however, when one has a life threatening food allergy, such as me, then it will. When reading the menu I realized the cod had pine nuts and I figured I'd simply order something else. However the waitress said that she would just make sure nothing we ordered had nuts in it and we mentioned it to her several times that I had a life threatening allergy. She nodded and then returned, and the fish itself did not seem to be coated with anything and I ate it. Soon after I realized there was some corn on the side and just disregared it, before then realizing it was pine nuts and that I had ate some. The waitress quickly apologized and realized that she did not communicate with the chef correctly and the food came out with tree nuts. At this point she refunded our meal but left me with an allergic reaction. The food despite quite good, left me leaving sick and frankly annoyed by the waitress's idiocy. read more

Rockfish is a two-level restaurant in the center of Edgartown's touristy harbor area. We went there for the first time and had read a few reviews on different websites, some of them not so good. Well, we do not agree with any of the put-downs. This is a restaurant with a different kind of approach to food than the run of the mill kind. If you like heaping portions to stuff your gut, don't go, if you want happy children, don't go, if you only like standard fare, don't go. Rockfish is kind of an American Tapas restaurant. The portions are small but of outstanding quality and taste, not cheap, but with mostly organic ingredients from local farmers. Their flatbreads from the upstairs brick oven are great, mushroom onion truffle oil exceptional (if you want pizza, go to a pizza joint). We thoroughly enjoyed all dishes we ordered and shared. The beer and drink selection is very nice. They have a bar on each level. On the night when we were there they played great blues in the background, and the tv at the bar had the sound muted (thanx) The decor is rustic/modern/industrial mix and very pleasant. We will definitely return and bring friends for a relaxed evening with some shared plates, some drinks and conversation. We are glad Rockfish is on the island. P.S.: good luck with paahking ;) read more

Kevin was great! He suggested am off the menu desert when we didn't see one we wanted in the menu. The desert was out of this world tasty. All of they have bourbon chocolate pecan tart. Atmosphere is weird contrast between low lit and 4 tvs. read more
