French Restaurants near Nantucket, MA

“Every once in awhile I wish I had an extra star to give. You know, reach up into the inky sky and grab one for those special places like LL Inn. I stumbled onto this place by pure coincidence. A couple on the street suggested late one evening and demanded - yes demanded I sit at the bar. What a stroke of luck! I ambled through the side entrance and down steep stairs to the sounds of conversation and laughter and of those smells of wonderful meals past and present. I was fortunate to be seated at the bar - the hostess checked with the chef - and I joined a bunch of regulars. I had no idea what I was in for. Really, no clue! Our bartender John is a wonderful host. He served me a drink, kept my water glass full, and made the menu easy to navigate. He recommended the specials, warm mushroom salad and the lamb stew - both exquisite! My dear readers I am at a loss to describe all the flavors swirling in my mouth from these magnificent dishes. And thank goodness for the delicious garlic infused bread with soft butter to soak up the sauces! Had to get every last drop. Desert? Seriously??!! With a hollow leg maybe. If D is your thing I suggest sharing and a salad and entree or come just for the dessert which is my plan. Now I only wish they serve breakfast... Enjoy!“

“Perfect evening! Service was attentive and friendly. Food was so good, and the wine suggested by sommelier was perfect and complimented meal so well. The atmosphere and music added to the experience. Highly recommend this dining experience!“

“New chef and there during Christmas stroll which means exceptional volume of people. Friendly staff but slightly overwhelmed by the non stop grind of Stroll weekend. Limited menu for stroll. Food was tasty but not exceptional like the previous chef. Example, lobster bisque didn't have the one large piece of lobster I would have expected. Would go back during non stroll to see the what the restaurant is really capable of.“

“How to describe the sconset café? It's the very soul of sconset it's self. The warmth of the atmosphere radiates from the owners passion to continue a legacy of intimate gatherings with friends and family. When you're in sconset, you're in no other place in the world, and when you're in the sconset café, you're somehow home. As soon as you walk through the door, a contrast forms between the glow and charm and the outside world fades into a background portrait. A table at the café is an invitation for you and your love ones to focus on one another, as a familiar staff offers sincere attention and leaves nothing to be desired. There are no lackluster options on the menu. If not for a capacity to feel indulged, one would feel the cupidity in ordering every artisan prepared creation. The sconset café has capture the essence of true dining and will no doubt remain a staple of sconset for another 30 years to come.“
