Grilled Dry - Aged Strip Steak
Nanci P.

Great family place with a bar scene for adults. Outdoor seating was nice, quiet with a lovely view of the property and garden. Indoor seemed like more of a party scene with louder music but there seems to be a good balance between both. The food was all very good. Strip steak cooked to a perfect medium rare. Linguine was a little on the salty side but still pretty good. Clam chowder and arugula & watermelon salad was a great starter. Service was great. One of the better meals we've had on the island.

Plastic cups, but glass for the wine.

What a fabulous view! We had such a lovely dinner at Summer House. The location is terrific. I believe diners should know a few facts: -Paper napkins are being used during Covid -Plastic cups are served for beverages -Our Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc was $72 for the bottle, but it costs myself $14 at the liquor store in town -The musician only performed "hippie" music and doesn't know any George Strait! The view makes up for all of this. We still had a lovely evening. The serve healthy portions of fish, not a sliver like most places. I had the cod which was lovely.

Mojito!!!

THE establishment of Sconset Nantucket forever and it is a must! The restaurant serves huge portion lobster rolls and the hamburger is the best on island! Excited for the reopening of the main restaurant (had a fire oh no!) but the quality of their restaurant pool/beachside (the only one like it on island!) is always a happening scene lunch and dinner. Cocktails are fantastic. Seek out Phillipe for one of his Mojitos- best anywhere.

Horrible slow service and the food was ice cold. It's a shame because it has such a nice atmosphere.

I seldom write bad or negative reviews, so this one flummoxed me a bit…read more The appetizer was this wonderful cold mussel dish, with spices and a light oil. Just a nice, artisan dish akin to something you'd get in New Bedford or Fall River. Fantastic. 5-Stars. Now their lobster roll. Imagine a hot dog, OK, and now imagine one of those little Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage links for size comparison. The volume of finely shredded lobster meat, that was also warm in that hot dog roll was smaller than the Jimmy Dean link. 0-Stars. My recommendations for a "good" lobster roll is to go anywhere else on island. I'd recommend Sayle's Seafood, The Nantucket Lobster Trap or Stubby's. In fact, I'd just stay clear of the Club Car altogether, it is one of those places for the self-focused New York / Miami new [vulgar] money jet-set that treat the island like their play-thing... you know, you see their empty beer cans in the morning around town. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Club Car Nantucket is an absolute 5-star go-to me. It's such a unique, lively vibe in the historic…read moretrain-car setting, with that classic Nantucket energy that feels special whether you're popping in for lunch or settling in for a full night out. The service is always on point (Bridget always takes care of us--she's genuinely so nice), and the food never misses: the lobster Cobb salad is fresh, loaded, and perfectly balanced, and the croque madame is pure comfort (savory, cheesy, and even better with the egg). And don't sleep on dinner, Club Car turns it up even more, and their steak frites is the best!

You have to walk up a slight hill on Carver Street to get here, and it was no surprise that it was relatively packed with all the terrace seats taken. And yet, the ambiance was quite chill. Everyone was looking relaxed and definitely not on the make. Customers skewed a tad older here, which made us feel right at home. We were particularly impressed that the veteran bartender had a mixing container dedicated to their espresso martinis, so of course, we ordered a pair for $16 each (photo: https://yelp.to/VmjWNmEyk0). We sat near the fireplace and just let the smooth libations and mellow dudes give us the P-Town karma. COCKTAILS - 4 stars...readymade espresso martinis were almost too easy to drink...almost AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...like someone's back patio SERVICE - 4 stars...cool bartender has been around the block a few times TOTAL - 4 stars...a welcome chill spot in the middle of P-Town RELATED - Exploring Provincetown?

The lobster entree was a little overcooked and the chocolate cake dessert was a little disappointing but overall, not bad. The kids menu had more choices than usual and the kids we brought loved the handmade pasta with marinara as well as the ice cream. We took the ferry over from White Elephant where we were staying, which can be booked with the hotel front desk or by calling the restaurant. You can order drinks on the ferry (they don't allow kids). They looked fully booked on resy but when we called, they had plenty of availability and were able to get a same day reservation for a party of 6. They also have a shuttle which takes 25 min that takes you back to white elephant every hour on the half hour (and the ferry which takes 50 min every hour on the hour). Overall, we had a great experience here!

Food/Price - 2 stars Ambiance/Experience/Location - 4/5…read morestars. Read on, but mainly, a great thing to check off the ACK list if you have time (and more conveniently if you're headed to Great Point). The boat ride was lovely and it's all worth it for that alone, but food is pretty dismal and it's expensive. Very torn here. If you have time (read more than a week), definitely check this spot out if you're looking to get away from the crowds. It's truly unique. Topper's is the restaurant part of the Wauwinet Hotel, headed out to Great Point, you are so far away from it all. To be 30 miles out to sea, and on part of the island so removed from downtown, what an incredible thing. It's approachable, because anyone can dine there, yet feels so exclusive. I was probably dining next to a billionaire and had no clue. You can drive from town about 20 minutes or take the 45 minute or so boat from Children's Beach/White Elephant ($30 round trip). We did the boat ride, and when doing so, they do make you do the 3 course tasting meal (at least for dinner). But that boat ride is so great: being on the ocean, seeing the incredible houses on the cliffs, and drinks available to purchase, to boot! And that, my friends, is where we come to the disappointing part of the experience. The three course meal was expensive solely because it was underwhelming. Price wise, $100+ per person, which pricewise doesn't sound terrible, but the food and portions were so underwhelming. Also just the flow was off. It lasted less than an hour, but the boat home was scheduled to leave 2 hours after arrival. So, you could enjoy the grounds and views, but we ended up going for a walk down the dirt road and meandering around the small hotel lobby, but it was kind of just a weird experience. The food: I ended up getting most of the dishes that had an extra cost, which made the serving size and price ratio even more dismal. The food was average, at best, and again tiny portions. So unmemorable, I can't even remember what we had. Lobster? To note: I did see people not eating the 3 course meal, and the burger and lobster roll I spied looked solid. I walked around the hotel grounds and it's definitely a super interesting getaway, so far from everything. The bar area/room is tiny but Nantucket charming. It's hard not to talk to the person sitting next to you since it's so intimate, which I love, since meeting new people is a beautiful thing. Overall, a dreamy, relaxing and unique location. I'm happy to have tried the boat and the whole excursion, but next time (in about 5 years or so) would schlep up in a car (do they have a shuttle?) and enjoy a la carte.
