    Full belly fried clams
    Chris K.

    This is the original Yankee Pier. If you ever visited that restaurant in Larkspur, CA, this must have been the inspiration. Simple and delicious food. Casual, not fancy and great for kids. Tables tight on the water. Gluten free friendly, if that is of interest to you. stuck to the seafood. Lobster roll, fried clams and fish tacos. Btw, the fried clams are FULL BELLY, the entire clam, not just the muscle "clam strips" you used to find at places like Howard Johnson's. Everything fresh and literally right out of the water.

    Scallop roll

    The scallop roll and clams were phenominal!!! Our server, Julie, turned things around for us after we were treated unfairly. The manager, Colin's treatment was unacceptable. When my friend ordered a limoncello spritz, he brought a margarita instead. When she corrected him, he rudely said, "No you didn't," and walked away. She was also the only Black woman in the restaurant, and the only one treated this way. As locals in the industry, we were really disappointed by the manager's dismissive and disrespectful behavior. I recommend this place because the food is fabulous and every other time the service has been great! Just be careful with Colin.

    Stumbled upon SWF towards the end of their very first week, when they weren't even officially doing takeout just yet. We were just walking by looking for a lobster roll and walked in to see a fish market! The lovely staff made an exception for us and we were so grateful. Not a seafood item but wow those onion rings were out of this world!! We got them with the lobster roll and wish we got the full side (for a bigger portion) instead. Totally recommend. Lobster roll was great as well especially at its decent price of $35. Loved that it came with a side of slaw as well. Would have loved to dine in if we had the time.

    Excellent fried clams ! I've been all over New England and these were delicious!!! I don't understand the reviews. This place is great! My only downside is $40 for these clams is a bit overpriced. But you're on Nantucket. What do you expect

    Caviar Onion Rings
    Melissa T.

    10/10. Gabriel and his team hit it out of the park with this restaurant! First, the food: the caviar onion rings, clam chowder, fried clams, blue fish patê and smash burger were tremendous. Truly the best burger on island. Mouth watering. The fried clams were perfect, crispy and juicy! Clam chowder was delicious and caviar on onion rings? Need I say more? The staff was wonderful and kind, and the vibe is even better! The decor was beautiful. We had dinner on the deck which was a delight the chairs were comfortable and the view can't be beat. We could not have had a better experience, and will be adding this to our regularly weekly rotation!

Upstairs there a barroom and a couple of dining rooms. I would not imagine they could have so much seating. I had the octopus and pot belly. The octopus was tender. Given how hard it is to cook octopuses this was an accomplishment. Then I had the venison, cooked rare. It was delicious. I would return anytime I was on the island.

    Solid 4 star review. Oran Mor is one of those restaurants that I end up returning to every…read moresummer/every other summer for a few reasons. 1) You can usually get a last minute reservation. 2) The vibes are old Nantucket, located upstairs in an old brick house; it's dark and gives off that vibe that at any moment, a captain of a whaling ship will settle up next to you at the bar. And lastly, 3) the food. While meals historically have been a mixed bag, the food overall is a sure bet. Additionally, I love that the Oran Mor is more of an older crowd. I'm in my hanging with a 65 year old+ chic granny more than a 20 something year old influencer era. Ok, some more details. My batched cocktail off the menu was great - the cherry rickey. I love all things cherry and this hit home with a perfect mix of cherry and boozy flavors. We went with the snail app, the special crab pasta and the potato crusted fish. The crab pasta was solid, with the pasta being cooked perfectly. A tad bland, but that could just be the dish was more focused on that crab vs heavy seasoning. The fish was delicious, but disappointment came in with the sides. Sides are usually my favorite part of any dish, and the eggplant was burnt and ultimately kind of inedible and the veggie medley or whatever it was, was indeed a bit sad and underwhelming. My husband and I both were like womp womp. Even the additionally ordered creamed spinach was more of a creamy spinach soup vs spinach which we also would not order again. No dessert because Juice Bar be like around the corner. :) Service was great. We have been seated in the dining room and by the bar, and I appreciate both vibes. Overall, solid. Nantucket dining can be hit or miss with rezzies hard to find, so if Oran Mor is a possibility, I don't think you'll be disappointed (maybe just with the sides!).

We made a reservation will in advance and of course you have to make it around the sunset. We thought the food was well worth the price for a nicer dinner and we had the best view of the beach.

From an appetizer, entree and dessert we had zero complaints and dream of going back one day. The views are also the cherry on top! Their menu does change but from what I remember we had the lobster deviled eggs, crab cake, a tuna dish, lobster gnocchi, some shrimp pasta dish and a molten cake!

The service was impeccable. There was always a waiter within earshot. He kept our waters fully all times. I started off with a stuffed eggplant with apricots, currents and yogurt. It was devine. I wish they would share the recipe. For a main course, I had a grilled veal chop over a bed of warm wild rice and mushrooms. I had it cooked medium rare. I would give it six stars but I am only allowed five. I would definitely return if I ever had the opportunity. A definite must if ever visiting the island.

He had told…read moreus how much fun Cisco Brewery was, and that they have great bands...so we Ubered up there on a Saturday. We got there fairly early but the first band had already started, and the area under the tent was already full. We got some drinks, checked out the space and eventually we were able to snag some chairs under the tent. The outside beer area had alcohol drinks as well. 2 of us had tequila drinks, and 2 tried the beers. We were all really happy with our choices. All of the food there came from food trucks, and there were a lot of random vendors, which made it a fun, unique experience! All of our food and drinks were great. I also bought a few hats- the hat selection was really good from the band and the brewery. They also had a shop along with the other vendors who were set up. We stayed longer than expected- the first band (Grateful Dead cover band) was amazing, so we stayed to check out the second band (who were really good also). We eventually gave up our seats under the tent to some very happy people! We will definitely go back to the Cisco brewery the next time we're in Nantucket- it was a great experience all around! Everyone we encountered- whether they worked there, or weee there for fun were very nice and friendly. There was a dance area in front of the stage and people definitely used it - so there was great people watching in a super fun setting!

Had we not just eaten lunch in town we would have tried one of the food trucks. I had the blueberry cocktail which was very refreshing on a hot day. The grey lady beer was recommended by a friend and it was great. We are from CLT, NC so when we saw the hurricane relief beer on the menu it made us very happy to see other breweries supporting the ones that were destroyed in the storm. Giving a 4/5 because the seats at the tables were very difficult and kept getting in the way of everything. They should just have benches

    **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!

I went with a group of girlfriends on Tuesday night and we had a great evening. While my preference is to sit on the patio for lunch, the dining room is a wonderful vibe at dinner. I loved my pork chop that I ordered for my main course and also thoroughly enjoyed the steamed asparagus, roasted carrots and smoked tomato grits. Our waiter, Nash, was a standout and really facilitated a smooth dining experience. We ordered a few desserts to share but the clear winner was the carrot cake which was a knock out. We will be back for lunch this summer but are also thrilled to have this on our list for dinner.

Nice to see many familiar faces amongst the servers, and the sommelier (Raphael) is truly wonderful! We have always been met with warm greetings and very good and attentive service. My wife loved all the courses of her meal. 2 of mine were amazing (the toro and the steak), 2 were very good (the lobster and the lavender dessert), and one was decidedly lacking (first course bonito). So, in my opinion, not as consistently great as it was last year. But maybe wife would differ with me on this. Yes, it is pricey. But of the "pricey" options on the Cape, we definitely feel this is still the best. It's up to each person to decide whether any of these fine dining/pricey options are worth the premium over the cost of dining at the many "nice " restaurants on the Cape. We will return.

It was some kind of steak with a special preparation. I've looked at the restaurant menu but do not see it listed. It was a special for that evening. The restaurant had a nice Cape Cod feel to it, and it was crowded. There was a large party sitting near by and the acoustics being what they are, it was a little noisy but they left after a bit. The lighting was dim, but it was a pleasant evening and the service was great. They had a nice selection of wines. My friend had the Eggplant Vindaloo, which I had considered ordering and it was a huge serving. She took it back and ate it for several days. Another friend ordered and ate appetizers and loved the Maine Mussels Dijonnaise. I guess it was just my luck of the draw. I should have gone with my first idea and ordered the Eggplant. Or the Mussels. Despite being disappointed with my entree, it was a wonderful place to enjoy an evening with friends.
