I should note we dined on the last night of the season* However parking was an issue to start. The hostesses seemed scatter brained. They were out of both the filet and crab cakes. We went with recommended stuffed pork chop on the bone which was just ok. I had the shrimp with scallops with pasta and spinach it wasn't good I picked the seafood out and ate that only. Luckily the waitress was awesome and we had a great drink the sugar cookie. They must have known it was bad bc they offered half off the entire bill. So got what we didn't aid for in the end. Will try again in season and hope it was just closing night issues.

As always Nantucket's was fabulous. It is probably our favorite restaurant in the Fenwick, DE area. Our waitress, Suzi is incredible and really treats you well and offers excellent suggestions. This was our first time going to their New Years Day "closing" day and what a deal and the food was delicious as always. I tried the lobster shephards pie - I would highly recommend it - the lobster tails were nice sized and plenty of food. My husband had the pork chop and their was so much he brought part of it home. I enjoyed my sazerac cocktail, it's one of my favorite cocktails. Definitely make a reservation the next time you are in town. (they are closed Jan 2 - Feb 11)

Staff did a great job handling the New Year Eve crowd. We had excellent service. Our waitress was very attentive. I was impressed the meal was up to par with the large number they were servicing. Our location was very intimate making for a great New Year Eve.

Busy New Year's Eve dinner for two. Slight wait for table but understandable. Excellent service. Chowder and mussel starters were very tasty. Both had crab cakes—good but lacking in lump crab meat. Brownie and Brown Betty desserts were very good. Look forward to our next visit.

Since it was New Year's Eve the restaurant was bursting with patrons. Service staff was friendly and we did not feel rushed. The rockfish was flavorful but the cod was a little bland. Overall we enjoyed our meal and will go back.

Service was exceptional! Once in a year for the restaurant:) but a milestone for our 33 wedding anniversary:) We were expecting less than average on a high top table?.... But was so memorable
Judy
We had our first experience at Nantucket and we will definitely be back. We had the Rockfish which was great (maybe a little expensive for what you get but very good). The service was excellent and the food came fast. It was truly delicious. We got the rum cake for dessert and were a bit underwhelmed.
Amy
Our service was excellent!!! The food was ok. Serving potato chips in the bag like Panera was odd for fine dining. The Cesar salad was all brown on the lettuce. Crab cake had no lump meat and tasted ok. Loved the atmosphere and the decor.
Stephen
Went there for the bouillabaise ( which I've had before there ) It was delicious but lots of the cheaper shellfish was predominant - Mussels.. My husband had the crab cake and was a little disappointed - he's from MD, I'm from MA. I prefer lobster! Nice ambiance - will go again next visit.

My wife and I are going through a rough patch with elder care for her mother and we needed a good distraction. Not surprisingly Nantuckets came through! We arrived early for our reservation and the nice ladies sat us immediately. Our server was attentive without hovering and the food was simply amazing. So thankful to have a terrific spot like this so close to our house!
Our dinner at Nantucket's was great as always. We both had duck which was excellent. Susie, our server was wonderful as always. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Luke was a great server. The food was really excellent and the Wednesday night special entree pricing made for a surprisingly moderate overall cost. We find that Nantucket's rarely disappoints.

Our entree was excellent but thought that the Creme Brulé was rather skimpy and not what I had previously experienced . The only disappointment on a great night. Thanks.

We had a great experience here yesterday for Xmas stroll. We had the lobster bisque which was unbelievably good. The mussels, cod and scallops were excellent. The scallops were too peppery for my wife so I ate them. Great atmosphere and service. We’ll return here on our next visit.

Luke was great. He was fun to talk with and very knowledgeable. The food was spot on. We will certainly go back when we are in the area again.
