7 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Nantucket

“As someone who takes pride in choosing thoughtful, high-quality accommodations when traveling, I can confidently say that Greydon House in Nantucket exceeded expectations. Located right in the heart of downtown, it was the perfect choice for a weekend stay. I specifically wanted to be close to the Steamship Authority ferry, great restaurants, and downtown shopping—and this location delivered on all fronts.

From the moment we checked in, we were warmly welcomed by friendly staff and a personable, attentive manager who set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. The location couldn’t be more convenient: a three-minute walk to one of the best lobster rolls you’ll ever have at Walter’s, a charming coffee and pastry shop directly across the street, and the Whaling Museum just steps away.

Given the unbeatable location, we weren’t expecting much from the room itself—but we were genuinely impressed. Our room was cozy and well-appointed, with high-end toiletries, beautiful shower tile, and an exceptionally comfortable bed. Harney & Sons tea and quality coffee were available all day, which was a much-appreciated touch.

One of the highlights of our stay was Via Mare, the on-site restaurant. Although we enjoyed every meal during our visit to Nantucket, this restaurant stood out. The oysters were among the best I’ve ever had, and the cocktails were both creative and delicious.

Despite the cool weather, we found ourselves drawn again and again to the charming side porch. Whether we were reading, chatting, watching the Memorial Day parade, or enjoying takeout meals, it became a favorite spot throughout our stay.

Greydon House offers a rare combination of location, charm, and service—and we’ll absolutely be returning.“

“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.“

“Literally the best bread EVER.“

“Waiting in line is part of the experience! My favorite flavor is a rarity: Grapenuts. Sometimes with crantuclet. Delicious.“

“Pretty good coffee if you’re out near the airport or the bakery. Their definition of some of the drinks is different than what you might be used to if you are used to getting coffee at Starbucks. And the wait can be hit or miss depending on when you arrive. But they’re worth checking out, especially if you like trying new coffee places!“

“During our time in Nantucket, a local raved about this bakery's "morning bun" to my fiancé! We stopped in the following day and after one bite, as advertised, we tasted the difference.“

“The 4 star review is for the staff. They work tirelessly and their efforts are appreciated. Despite a busy weekend holiday, staff really made the lines flow out quickly and efficiently.

Now to the beer. I must say I was dissapointed. It could not be my style of beer but I did notice the quality of cisco consistently falls sideways as they continue regional expansion, even their classics are somewhat unrecognizable nowadays. Fortunately for them they have branded themselves so well--most will equate it with Cape/Island Beach Beer..If you are a big IPA drinker, I can see the hype, but if you enjoy lagers and ales I'd skip wholeheartedly....

Overall, Cisco has a fantastic setup, I just thought the beer would be better.“
