They add a “large party fee” for parties over 4. $25 for a burger and didn’t ask how I wanted it cooked. Also had a kitchen fee, and did not ask if we would like more drinks. As I was a server in the past, they could have came over and checked in more.

Really enjoyed our dinner , Zejlko was our server and we couldn’t ask for better!!

Oh how the mighty have fallen. The news was the place to go in Edgartown since it opened in 1993. I have probably been here 40 plus times over the past 32 years and I have a bucket full of wooden nickels to prove it. But since the new owners took over last year it’s a total disappointment, to say the least.
Food is WAY over priced, and bland, service is terrible. If you ask for a glass of water they bring you a bottle of Saratoga and charge you 8 bucks. You have to ask separately for ice.
The air conditioning is barely working, and the server said it’s been that way and they are in no hurry to get it fixed. On top of everything else they now charge a 4 percent kitchen appreciation tip which is not part of the tip you leave.
The hostess at the front was busy on her phone and was totally rude and unprofessional. She would be more suited working at a bowling alley,
So for a Cesar salad, Mac and cheese, cheese burger, chicken sandwich and a pretzel it was 175 bucks !!! Even for the vineyard that is pricey. The food was basically what you would get at a TGIF’s.
No alcohol by the way.
Trust me, I’ve been going here every year since 1993, take your money elsewhere like the wharf, seafood shanty, or the Atlantic. I wish I did.
You can thank me later.

Such a great find for lunch! There was no waiting for a table. The service was great. The food was plentiful and delicious. And the beer was cold.

We loved it so much we went twice while on vacation. Food was excellent, service was great and staff was wonderful to our dog (we sat outside). The chicken pot pie and Brussel sprouts are amazing.

Had prime rib sandwich and brussel sprouts. Both were excellent! Bread fresh, shaved prime rib very nicely cooked, and sprouts were awesome

This is the type of establishment that makes you wish you could afford a house nearby so you could grab a drink and sit by the fireplace whenever you wanted.

Came on a Friday night around 8 pm with a large group and sat inside. Service through the evening was fine but not great. We ordered a round of espresso martinis to start and I would really not recommend them. For dinner I ordered the cauliflower curry but the waiter came back a few minutes later to say that they didn’t have it so I had to pivot. I ended up ordering the bistro salad with chicken. Chicken was good but the salad was for sure not worth ordering. Chick pot pie leaned too soupy, but the wings and pretzel were pretty good.

Vegetarian options: Would not recommend this restaurant to a vegetarian.

Wandered around after dinner in Rockfish and looked in on this bar. There appeared to be drinking and laughter. So in I went. Had a couple of Guinness and met a couple of people who were having a drinking game. I have to say that this is a great little boozer very much in the uk style of pub. Warm, friendly and inviting. Enjoyed the couple of hours I spent nursing a pint .

Outstanding dinner. Comfort food abounds. Shepard's Pie outstanding, and fish and chips (and one in party ordered fish and onion rings!) reported great. Nice refuge on an early fall eve.

Drinks were fantastic!
Ambiance was out of this world.
Service by Jada was some of the best we have ever had. Super sweet, knowledgeable, and really took care of us. Go Worcester!

Po boy was not an actual po boy and barely any shrimp or flavor. Calamari overcooked. Food seems to be very generic and not well made. Waitress was very good. The place lost its character overall. Whoever bought it is ruining it.
