This was a wonderful find. We were going to the lighthouse to see the sunset and stopped here to eat. Absolutely wonderful.

I like the concept of this place, relaxed, easy, airy, yet with a bent towards sophistication, but there were several misses. First the hits... The mussels were very well done. The sauce was deep, rich and well executed. The big boxy bread was a treat - and the butter a perfect herb infused compliment.
The fish and chips, a staple, had an excellent batter, but for nearly $50, was a bit of a eye watering price for two pieces of fried fish on a bed of fries. The fish that night, in an iridescent green broth, looked divine, but it was thin and rather bland. I heard the duck was well done, but didn't taste it.
In general, if you come here, the service will be great, the prices astronomical, and the food overall solid to very good, the prices knock this down to a B overall.

A fancy, expensive restaurant with genuinely good food. I had the pasta with cream sauce, and the portion was much more generous than I expected. A couple people with me raved about the fish. Dessert was a shared creme brulee, which was a little toasty in flavor. Overall, a good meal. Reservations are a must in the summer. Be warned: it's BYOB, with a corking fee for wine bottles.

It's all about the vibe here. Amazing food, knowledgeable servers, and the best mixologist. BYOB

We stayed in Aquinnah this past week. First night we needed to find a place to eat. Called here and was greeted by a very friendly person who made us a reservation for 7p. We got there right around 650. Parking was a little tough but we ended up in the market lot next door since they closed at 7.
We were seated quickly outside. Great spot. Comfortable atmosphere. Very nice waitress. Menu had a lot to offer. Ended up ordering the squid, 2 orders of fish and chips and the steak. Food came out surprisingly fast but it was piping hot and very good. We all enjoyed our food, no complaints. Service continued to be great through out dinner.
No alcohol in this town, we didn’t bring anything with us but you are allowed to BYOB which is cool.
Pricing was on the higher side particularly the steak. Understandable for a nice restaurant in a quaint MA island town.
With that said we were happy and left satisfied. From all the restaurants we ate at during our 4 day visit to MV I will say this was the best food especially the fish and chips.
Well that’s it for now. Hopefully we see you again in a future visit! For those reading this i recommend this place!

Best dinner we’ve eaten on the Cape! Steak was excellent and the chicken pot pie was delicious. If you travel to Chilmark, you have to stop in!

Blown away by the food and service. 10/10 recommend. My husband was only a week into his Celiac diagnosis when we visited Martha's Vineyard. We were concerned we wouldn't be able to find Celiac restaurants AND delicious meals. Chilmark Tavern delivered. Their Halibut dish was perfectly cooked with a bright broth and crispy spring veggies. Their duck was rich with a beautiful cherry sauce and skin was crispy crispy crispy. They even had an incredible gluten free crème brûlée which happens to be my husband and I's favorite dessert. We came with my 3 year old daughter and I'm sure they don't have any toddlers here yet they were so kind and accommodating. Our waiter went above and beyond making sure our meals were celiac safe and made toddler modifications. Oh and before I forget their mocktails were refreshing and it's hard to find a good mocktail that isn't overly sweet. I am very grateful for Chilmark Tavern!

It was delicious when my mom Marty Ann Andrews took my brother and I here once or twice everything is gourmet like farm stuff so it all really tastes good. Fresh good food.

Came on a Monday night for a 5:30pm reservation with 3 girlfriends. We came on the early side because we wanted to watch the sunset on the beach after dinner. The dining room was pretty sparsely populated when we arrived but both the main dining room and the outdoor patio had filled up by the time we left at 6:45.
Since it’s BYOB, we brought a bottle of wine and a bottle of batched Negronis which our waitress quickly brought out glasses for and served. For dinner we started with the bread, special cheese starter and summer squash. I thought that the squash was really exceptional. For my main course I ordered the half chicken. It came with a side salad and was crispy, juicy and delicious. Two of my girlfriends got the chicken pot pie and said it was one of the best they ever had. The Buffalo Brussels were also on point.
The food here felt like having a great home cooked meal. Looking forward to coming back!
The BYOB they advertise everywhere is extremely extremely misleading. I was charged $15 for my bottle of wine. Food was what you would expect.

We were a party of six and the biggest negative issue was an automatic 25% gratuity for parties of six or more plus 5% more for kitchen staff. Hey, just give them a 5% raise! As for the food, most of our party said the food was “good” but I was very disappointed with the pasta. Little spice or flavor, really bland, not enough sauce and had to ask for salt and parmesan.

Ate at the bar, wood was amazing, went on a Friday, so there was a lot if chatter noise, only reason it's a 4 star for atmosphere. Staff super friendly and helpful. Bob, 15$ bittle charge. I got chicken fries, was very good.

This restaurant has a comfortable and welcoming vibe. The staff is attentive and superb; working as a team. The dishes are creative and always on point as are the cocktails/mocktails. I would highly recommend making a trip up island to dine here. BYOB but the basil martini is nor to be missed, not the hot fudge sundae! Go to Resy now!
