New American Restaurants in Nantucket, MA

“Our waitress was fantastic, the food was great, but the hostess couldn’t have been any worse, she was downright nasty and unaccommodating.“

“I have been going to Nantucket for 30 years and this place has always had great food, friendly service and I always look forward to the piano player.“

“Great food and cocktails!“

“Haven’t had food like this (at least often) since we left NYC for LA. Beautifully executed, thoughtful, and delicious. We got a little of everything—Parker House roll w/caviar, smoked fish dip, lettuces, mushrooms, smashed potatoes, broccoli, and steelhead special. Had a ton of food to take home. Given the focused menu, we appreciated the smart inclusion of protein (caviar, nuts, seeds, etc) in just about every app/vegetable plate. Our server, Jen, was also excellent— helped us build a great pescatarian meal down to the wine pairing. Cheers to the team here.“

“I just had the best 70th birthday dinner here! Chef Joseph created a delicious menu and paired wines. The Company Popovers accompanied a crisp Caesar salad, Wagyu beef and a lobster tail with smashed potatoes & broccolini was the entree, rounded out with “The Marriage of Crème Brûlée + Chocolate Mousse” and Dows Fine Sherry Port. The service was spectacular (thank you Johnny) and the intimate and cozy atmosphere made for a wonderful experience for my party of 10. I recommend this place for a singular and memorable experience!“

“Awesome service. Great tasting lobster 🦞 roll and panini“

“We never skip the tuna tartare—it's consistently fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The food overall is excellent, with a thoughtful menu that never disappoints. The staff are warm, attentive, and make every visit feel special. A true gem.“

“The Boat House is the perfect casual dining restaurant on Nantucket. Salads, bowls, burritos, burgers — and an island flair. The people who run the Boat House are loving, kind and generous. Can’t recommend it enough for families and anyone who wants great food. We eat here every time we come to the island and are always happy.“

“I have been going to Nantucket for years and finally found Island Kitchen this past August; one of the best meals to be had on the island. We ate outside by the bar and despite a bit of rainy weather; we throughly enjoyed the atmosphere and cuisine; the service was excellent and we have earmarked a return visit this August.“

“I was on the day off and decided to take my friend on a nice and relaxing dinner. We haven’t had American Seasons on our radar yet this season so far so we have decided to go there. Everything was more than outstanding. We sat at the bar and our bartender Ana was so helpful. Her knowledge of the drinks and the menu was out of this world. We had a lovely time talking to her and she made the whole experience even better for us. The food was delicious. The combination of the flavours was really interesting and I would say this is one of the best menus on the island hands down. The server Mina who worked inside of the restaurant came by and helped us decide on the dessert option.“
