Went here while in Nantucket and was very pleased. Spicy Margaritas were great. Loved the dynamite shrimp appetizer. Clam chowder was on point as well. Halibut jambalaya was excellent and would highly recommend. Braised short rib was good but could have used a little more flavor, definitely some salt.
Small but mighty - this place has a humble and homey feel but the food and service is top notch. Must make a reservation. We tried several items off the menu and everything exceeded our expectations. Being a small restaurant, make sure you communicate with the staff if you’re going to be early/late or can’t make your reservation. We will absolutely be back! Pro tip - “Town” next door is owned by same people and has the same menu.
This very sweet restaurant In Nantucket was a fantastic experience for me my wife and our friends . First we got there really early and they still were able to seat us inside at a great table . Within seconds we were being served water by a busboy with a super cool digital watch and we never went any time without fresh water all night . William our waiter doted on us from the outset.we started with the Hamachi crudo , fresh and delicious and the mussels which had a very spicy and savory broth . I had the cod in a mushroom broth that was sensational and they were smart enough to give you a spoon to eat all of the broth . My wife ordered the Scampi but wasn’t feeling well because she may have been over served at Cisco winery . What really impressed me is that the manager immediately came over to ask if she wasn’t enjoying it. We explained the situation but to see that level of attention to customers,Anticipating problems before they become more than that , and we saw her doing it to every table , was service you just don’t see much anymore.She ended up eating the Scampi later when she felt better and said it was perfect. William it turns out was in training and he seemed seasoned and professional already. Great food , phenomenal service, excellent atmosphere. What more could you want?
Queequeg’s is one of our standard go-to restaurants when we’re on ACK. The food is always delicious and the service is attentive and friendly. My wife had the short ribs and I had the salmon, since I had just eaten branzino the day before. My salmon was perfectly cooked (not over cooked as too many restaurants do!!) and the short ribs were mouth watering yummy. The chocolate flourless cake for dessert was the perfect ending to a wonderful night out. This is a small restaurant with just 8 or 9 indoor tables and a small 7 or 8 seat bar. Reservations recommended. If you reserve an outside table and it’s raining, they may not be able to accommodate you inside. But if the weather is nice, sitting outside is a good choice.
The food and drinks were really good. We had Cacio E Pepe pasta, dynamite shrimp, truffle fries and roasted carrots.
Amazingly eclectic menu from sushi to Italian and French. Came with family and tried a number of dishes. Bolognese was great, so was caprese and mussels. Staff friendly. Definitely recommended.
We had dinner here a couple weeks ago and the food and service were outstanding! They were having a slight technical glitch that evening, however, Brad informed us immediately, made sure we had water and drinks right away and took great care of us. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. The food was excellent and the service top-notch!
Omg, the food was delicious. The service was amazing . The bartender Shawn was a cool guy. Rado was amazing with us. I definitely recommend this place if you come to nantucket. Please visit this place...
