A surprisingly disappointing experience at an upscale restaurant:…read moreI almost never leave negative reviews, especially for upscale restaurants, but my experience tonight was so far below expectations that I feel I need to share it. The Hen of the Woods appetizer was dry, brittle, and nearly flavorless -- more like straw than a thoughtfully prepared dish. Without the green peppercorns and Dijon mustard I happened to have with me, it would have been inedible. The Duck Confit was similarly disappointing: overcooked, dry, and again nearly impossible to enjoy without the condiments I brought. Service issues added to the frustration. The red Burgundy wine I ordered didn't arrive until nearly dessert, even after I asked another server to remind my server to bring it. Dessert came with only half a cup of decaf coffee and no cream, despite my request. Overall, I felt ignored rather than cared for. What should have been a highlight of my vacation became one of its lowest points. I truly hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously, because the experience did not match the level of quality or hospitality one should expect at this price point.

TL;DR: super unwelcoming attitude from the staff and a bait and switch after a phone call. If you…read moreare disabled or have mobility issues, you also won't be welcome or have an easy time with basic tasks like the restroom. We won't be returning until the attitude and staff are changed. No meal is worth a bad cultural experience. My wife and I tried to eat here. My wife and I had disembarked the ferry in OB and heard about the Wave was new so we were excited and called. The woman on the phone said, yes we have availability come on over - we said we were in our way and would be there in 15 minutes. We arrive in VH 15 minutes later. My very pregnant wife waddles over to the hostess and it seems it's a different lady that tells her "do you have a reservation?!" With an attitude. We say "we just spoke with someone." The woman we spoke to then appears and says "yes" I told them it was ok. Then the other woman scolds her and says, well I just "reallocated" all the tables. Not possible anymore. So then they both point to the upstairs deck area across the way and say it's the bar area, go sit up there. My pregnant wife wasn't thrilled with all the distance and steps but said "ok" reluctantly but she had to use the restroom first. For any disabled person - my pregnant wife also has permanent mobility issues - the restroom is down a step and outside in another section. We finally get upstairs and the guys up there said they had reservations starting soon so we had to check with the hostess. Maybe we got profiled in my T-shirt and shorts, but I can guarantee we would have tipped better than the old stodgy people walking in. We probably would have just stayed the but attitude of the staff was just a massive turn off. If an establishment can't put out a welcoming culture, what else aren't they paying attention to with the meal. Off to Beach Road or to try out The Jetty on our Tuesday evening arrival.

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!

Dined here with two friends on a recent Friday night in May. We made our reservation with only a…read moreweek to spare and as such were only able to secure an outdoor table. 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.

If you're visiting Martha's Vineyard and looking for a great alternative to the island's many…read moreseafood options, Midnight Taco is definitely worth checking out! The restaurant has an eclectic, relaxed atmosphere with a strong selection of food and cocktails. I grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered the birria taco along with one of my favorites...a margarita. Because really, can you have Mexican food without a margarita? Both hit the spot, and I really enjoyed my meal. The restaurant stayed busy throughout my visit, but there's plenty of seating inside, and I especially liked the indoor/outdoor setup of the bar. It gives the space an open, casual feel that's perfect for grabbing a drink, having a meal, or hanging out for a while. The bartenders were another highlight. Even with a steady crowd, both were welcoming and attentive, and I enjoyed chatting with them while I ate. If you want to switch things up--Midnight Taco is a fun find for Mexican food, cocktails, and a relaxed atmosphere. I'll happily take a birria taco and margarita combination any day!

For the first visit, I got their Watermelon Margarita which was delicious and my friend got the Blood Orange Margarita he enjoyed. I also tried their Horchata and Rum cocktail which was ok and my friend got their Naked and Famous cocktail. For the second visit, I tried their Cucumber Spritz which was not great. I also got a Birria taco which was really good. The drinks were a hit or miss for me here. Fun late night vibes though.

We were in MV for a girls trip and I'm so glad we celebrated our last night at 19 Raw. I…read morerecommended this restaurant to my friends based on the reviews and it did not disappoint - the food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. To start, a couple of us ordered oysters as an appetizer and they were delicious, fresh and tasty. For our main courses, we ordered filet mignon, chicken, lobster tagliatelle and tuna from the diverse menu. Each one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Everything was cooked exactly as ordered and seasoned perfectly. We also ordered a few sides, such as the roasted carrots with cashew butter, brussel sprouts with pork landons and my favorite - the scallion goat cheese mash, which were mashed potatoes packed with yumminess! Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent service, while the ambience was quite comfortable and inviting. I remembered reading reviews about the carrot cake and although we were all full, we knew we had to try it so we got one slice for the five of us and it may have been the best carrot cake I've ever eaten. If you like carrot cake this is a must and well worth it. If you're in Edgartown, I would definitely include 19 Raw in your restaurant list.

We started with the lobster and caviar Hawaiian roll, which was flavorful and delicious. The grilled octopus served over pork and white beans was another standout--the flavor profile here was top tier. Honestly, the appetizers had me expecting the rest of the meal to be on the same level. Unfortunately, the entrées were a different story. The rack of lamb was cooked perfectly temperature-wise, but the lack of seasoning was unbelievable. The execution was there, but it desperately needed flavor. We also ordered the halibut, which was extremely dry--to the point that I couldn't finish it. The sides brought things back around. The jalapeño corn and Brussels sprouts were both and packed with flavor. And then there was the Filthy Dirty Rich Martini with caviar-stuffed olives --AMAZING. Easily one of the highlights of the night and something I would absolutely order again. Overall, 19 Raw nails the ambiance, cocktails, appetizers, and service. The appetizers in particular showed just how good the kitchen can be, which made the disappointing entrées even more surprising. I'd come back, but next time I might stick to cocktails, appetizers, and small plates.

The service was decent, not what I would say as "friendly" but just get to business, i filed under - you do you. Ordered sushi which was ok. My friend got fish and chips that I tried and wasn't impressed. This is cape cod for the prices I expect tasty. I had the blackened Mahi sandwich. And that's when I couldn't figure out why I thought our server or others around me were chain smokers and wafting the odor by the table Every bite was a taste of ash. I have had blackened fish living in South Florida and it was seasoned as blackened and didn't taste like cooked directly on spent coals. Unfortunately I finished my beer to wash it down and remove the taste. Bottom line with a final bill of $99 and a 20% tip First and last visit for me. I enjoyed the fries and time with my friend and that was the 2nd star on this review.

Tucked-away inn, big-night-out food. We started at the Mermaid Bar with a plate of local oysters…read more(briny, ice-cold, gone in about four minutes) and a round of bubbles that made everything feel fancier than it needed to be. Then came the scallops, seared to that perfect crusty-on-the-outside, butter-soft-inside finish, sitting in risotto with bacon and crisp green apple for a sweet-tart snap. Genuinely one of the best scallop dishes I've had on-island. The cocktail program deserves a shoutout too, mine came dark, moody, and dressed with a little flower garnish from Bridget's garden that made it look like it belonged in a much more expensive bar tab. The tasting menu ($115, four courses, MV-sourced ingredients) is a commitment but if you want a proper date-night splurge, this is the move. Only knock: it's a destination, not a walk-by, so plan the drive and maybe a reservation. Would go back just for the scallops and oysters alone. I am lucky enough to be able to ride my bike here!!
