Summer House Beachside Bistro

A very nice place with a great vibe. We went to celebrate my grandfather’s birthday, and everything was perfect. The service was extremely attentive, and the staff was very friendly! They truly made it the best birthday ever!

Not even a 1 star. Disgusting! Workers, food, and whole atmosphere. Worst restaurant on Nantucket, for sure! The workers need lots of training/common knowledge and the chef probably needs a beginners cooking lesson.

Just don’t go.

Amazing experience, from the service to the quality of the food. Everyone is attentive and makes your lunch really special. Our server Mr. C was an outstanding professional who made everything perfect. The seafood salad an the lobster roll are a must try!

I live in NYC, so this was our weekend escape. Nantucket is absolutely beautiful. We spent the day biking around the island and eventually found ourselves in this charming spot. Luckily, we arrived just before the lunch rush and were seated right away, no wait at all.

I don’t usually explore much when it comes to seafood, but something nudged me to try the poached seafood salad. It was the perfect choice for a hot day: refreshing, chilled, and bursting with flavor. It paired wonderfully with a crisp glass of prosecco. My friends had the lobster roll, huge compliments, it was delicious!

This is a must for us when we visit Nantucket. The surroundings are absolutely gorgeous and truly serene. The servers have always been super nice, and the food is very good. True, it’s a bit pricey, but like other reviewers have said, you’re paying for the incredible scenery - and we think it’s worth it!

Such a great spot! Super friendly people, tasty food, and the view is just stunning

The Bistro has been an annual must-stop for my family when we’re on island.
Today, despite clouds and cooler temperatures, my wife and I had a very nice lunch in the Bistro’s beautiful setting.
Service was excellent and our grilled fish sandwich and lobster salad sandwiches were perfect. My only small complaint was that my New England clam chowder had numerous lumps of flour as a result of inadequate whisking.

The patio has the perfect atmosphere. Beautiful views of the water and the right amount of sea breeze. The food is delicious and the service is top notch. They are friendly and helpful. I recommend getting their truffle fries no mater what you order as they are some of the best I've had!
Do note that to get to the patio the only way down is stairs. So not ADA friendly.
Perfect spot to catch up with friends or have an afternoon date.

Drinks were weak. Service was bad. They don’t let you hang by the pool unless you are staying there. We got hammered and had fun. Good ‘ol Nantucket.

One of my favorite places in Nantucket. The staff is wonderful. The food and drinks superb. Love the pool and beach setting. One of the best and rarest of places and experiences in Nantucket. A definite must visit on your Nantucket check list!

Nice place with a decent view ?

Gorgeous spot for lunch close to the beach. Quite private and I was surprised at how good it was given the 3.5 star rating. This is not a bar on the beach and footwear is required so maybe other reviewers, like me, were expecting something a bit more basic and not so pricey. $28 for the humus plate, which I enjoyed but is probably the most I’ve paid anywhere for a humus appetiser.

We came to dine in after a day at the beach at 4pm, and after an excessive waiting time of no service I walked up to the bar and was told the kitchen was closed despite no notifications or signs. I agree with previous reviews about lack of service.
The menu did seem appetizing, but we wouldn’t know.
