“Really great view if your waiting for your ferry ride back to the mainland! Super nice people“

“Absolutely amazing food! We came back twice … ceviche unbelievable taste and value, fig and prosciutto pizza, apple crisp - super yummy. Brown sugar steak tips and braised lamb shank the next time - so wonderful we couldn’t order a pizza to take home as planned. Great place with lots of locals and bartenders that can make drinks not on the menu!“

“Awesome fun place!! Great food and service.“

“Let’s talk about the best warm lobster 🦞 roll in New England!!!!“

“The pros: decent burger at a decent price. I love the rolls they use. Burgers are what you want to get here, don't get distracted by the chicken wings or seafood0 it's not their Forte. If you want a side, the fries are OK but they are too pricey for me and the portions are small, I enjoy their Mac & cheese with burger in it, it'll make your eyes roll back in your head with each bite! Props on handling the crowds of people and getting the food out relatively fast, it's not easy. I also appreciate their late night hours. The cons: They won't put any burger dressings (lettuce, tomato, mayo, onion, etc.) on the side, so if you order to go, by the time you get home, the bottom half of the bun is a wet, inedible paste. Also, there's nothing to put ketchup in. No soufflé cups, no packets, so if you order fries, you have to squirt ketchup in the container the fries are in and they get - can u guess? Are you sensing a theme here? - yes, they get soggy. Maybe spend less money on the fancy to go bags and get a sleeve of 2 oz souflee cups, or gather nip bottles, anything!“

“Beautiful spot, amazing food, and super-friendly service!“

“I’d like to comment on the impeccable guest service. Linda went out of her way to make sure we were satisfied. It really seemed like a high priority! Hurley (our server) was very attentive and accommodating. We had an overall great experience! The food was out of this world. I had the steak and it was delicious and my partner had the short rib and it was so tender. Amazing meal! Desserts left nothing to be desired. They were just as on point as our meals.“

“Excellent food and service. One of my favorites on Marthas Vineyard.“

“Beautiful restaurant with amazing food and great staff. The vegan options are superb and absolutely delicious. Everything is presented beautifully and is super tasty. Special shout out to the sweet & spicy cucumbers which were incredible, and the home made bread is divine! This was a great choice for dining whilst in Marthas Vineyard!“

We’re looking forward to going back!“

“We were entertaining visitors from NYC and they were intrigued by the charm, the exceptional service, the quiet atmosphere and the fine dining. It is hard to impress our guests but impressed they were. My husband and I also made a decision that The Terrance is the only place we will dine from now on. Please note the word "dine" as opposed to "eat" because it is truly a dining experience.“

“Great gluten free pizza and it has a few gluten free sushi options.“

“My partner and I keep coming here when vacationing, even though we've never used the airport. The food is great, it's prepared pretty quickly, and the grilled chicken in their salads is impossibly soft and delicious!!

Parking: Free parking for first 3 hours! We've never had issues finding a spot.“

“Water Street is one of the best places you can eat on the Cape! The food is beyond belief and the atmosphere is like having an upscale dinner at your best friends house. Absolutely perfect!“

“Maggie and Ella are absolute gems! I recently called the Chappaquiddick Grill from Florida with a special request—my brother was dining there for his birthday, and I wanted to surprise him by picking up the bill for him and his wife. I wasn’t sure how to make it work from so far away, but Maggie went above and beyond to help me pull it off.
She stopped what she was doing to come to the phone, took the time to get a detailed description of my brother and his wife, and even texted me when they arrived to make sure it was them. Thanks to her thoughtful coordination, I was able to give my credit card info over the phone and make the surprise happen seamlessly.
The staff at the Chappaquiddick Grill continues to exceed expectations. My family has made so many special memories there over the years—it’s truly a tradition for us, and we’ve never had a bad meal. Though I now live in Florida and can't visit as often, it makes me so happy to know my family still gets to enjoy the warmth and excellence of this incredible restaurant.
Thank you again, Maggie, Ella, and the whole team, for making this birthday one to remember from my amazing brother, who I love so much!!“

“One of the best food experiences I’ve had.“

“We did a walk in and we were able to be accommodated for a family of 7 the food was excellent and the service was very accommodating both with my wife's allergies and the dietary needs for the two young kids we had as well. The Cod was cooked perfectly and the clam chowder highly recommend it“

“Needed a last minute place to feed hungry hockey players and parents and I called at 8am and by 12:30pm they had an amazing spread for around 60 people. The food was great, staff were amazing and very accommodating. The 12U Maine Moose team really appreciates all you did for us and having a place where the team and families could be together to create some amazing memories. Thanks again“

“never again!! got served raw food, horrible service. manager was just as bad as the server. man did this place go downhill fast. I have been coming here since the eighties. I didn't even buy a tee-shirt. so overpriced. what used to be a nice little restaurant, has now become a tourist trap. so the tourist can have it. this place will not get anymore of my money. Disappointed and Done“

“Service, food, wine and ambiance was great. Highly recommend mussels, baked cod and duck confee. Thank you for a wonderful dinner.“

“Everything was great! Just don't order delivery. They always say an hour and a half. I think they try to wait for a bunch of deliveries before they send someone out. I once waited 2 hours and had to call back to remind them that my order wasn't delivered. I pick up only now.“

“Good!Food. Great service and atmosphere!“

“First time here and the food is unbelievable, the flavors are amazing and everything is very fresh! Many options and I love the drink choices also!“

“Great food and service! Definitely worth the wait!“

“Great location. The service was friendly but way too fast. We were served all of our food within 5 minutes of ordering. That made the table very crowded and we had to eat out hot food first instead of the appetizers. It was ridiculously expensive. We didn’t order the raw oysters as they were $37 for 6 with mignonette sauce. We couldn’t believe they charge an extra $5 for sauce. The sushi was good. We loved being on the marina and able to look at the boats.“

“Excellent food, great choices super friendly service. Reasonably priced.The retro atmosphere and music was fantastic!“

This was an amazing evening and we enjoyed the people we met, beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food, and fine wine.“

“It was great very clean and friendly“

“My favorite spot for sandwiches and pastries on the island! I’ve been coming here for years, and both the service and food have been consistently excellent. The portions are generous, so I usually have leftovers for a second meal. The last thing I had was a linguiça sandwich with plantains — it was so good that I finally went out of my way to write a review :) They’re also very accommodating toward gluten sensitivity.“

“Wonderful people in a beautiful place!“

“Great views and staff! This is a place you want to drink a beer with friends on the weekend!“

“Only disappointment was the unhappy hostess who seated us. Maybe it was a long day.
Food was exactly what we expected and wanted for diner breakfast food and our server was fantastic. Omelette, cornbread, and hash browns were great. It wasn’t busy at all on a beautiful Fall Sunday afternoon. Would definitely return!“
