“The food, service and wine list“

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

“Dinner menu with their daily special’s is their best kept secret.“

“Fun spot for bowling in Martha’s Vineyard. Our waitress was great and made sure that we were never waiting for our drinks. We didn’t have any food so I can’t speak to that but we had a great time bowling and the space is clean and nice.“

“The menu is wonderful! The beers are delicious! The place is very nice and the service is excellent! I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't know it yet!“

“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!“

“This is going to be an in-depth review because I cannot rave enough about Lambert's Cove Inn, the staff and our experience. It was my first time in Martha's Vineyard and its a beautiful island. We booked in off season so a lot of locations were closed. That being said, Lambert's Cove Inn really made the trip for us and here is why.... First, we went with a toddler. If you know what it's like to travel with a toddler, its an experience. They were so accommodating and everyone really hammed it up with the little guy. They made him blueberry pancakes from scratch every morning. B and Alex, part of the staff, really made his day. Talking to him every day, introducing him to the alpacas and the work they were doing in the garden to get ready for the season and weddings. We had a couple of rooms and they were amazing. The decor of the rooms really gave that Martha's Vineyard's feel. Whoever they picked to design their rooms and the common areas did an amazing job. I am picky with aesthetics and they used beautiful neutral colors with pops of color. The beds were cozy with plenty of high quality pillows and blankets. The Inn overall is immaculate. No joke. For the amount of foot traffic they get, their cleaning crew does an amazing job really keeping the place in great condition. The common areas have the same feel as the rooms, with neutral colors, playing off beautiful wood floors, gorgeous table sets, an amazing bar. The Inn almost has a bed and breakfast charm but with all the amenities. The staff are amazing. The Inn Keepers (Galen and Bridget) and their team are so friendly and really make the experience. The Inn is owned by John, a great guy. He has gone above and beyond to hire a staff that really make the experience exceptional. Galen is a chef as well and it comes through with every meal. A spread was laid out in the main lobby area every morning for guests with coffee, tea, various fresh baked goodies. Because it was off season I don't think they had their restaurant open, however, they offered a small breakfast option, and it was amazing. We had fresh blueberry pancakes for the little one and a quiche made from scratch or a good old fashion eggs and bacon breakfast. They offered us dinner in the evening with an option of chicken or steak. We had both with cooked carrots, and a salad which was produced from their garden. We ate different places on the island and by far our best meals were at the Inn. Overall, Lambert's Cove Inn is an amazing find. Honestly, you will not regret choosing this cozy Inn over the congested downtown areas on the island during busy season. I am already planning our next trip for the season.“

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

“The food is excellent and it has a nice atmosphere“

“My husband and I just moved here and went to the Conference Table for dinner last night. We were exhausted from packing and moving and our experience at the restaurant was just perfection every way! Everyone was so friendly, our waitress was terrific, and the food was amazing! We had clam chowder and turkey club sandwiches and both were the best we’ve ever had! We’re looking forward to going back!“

“Service friendly with an ungreedy seating plan. Relaxed environment and excellent sea food. Price is right and well worth the visit.“

“Amazing! If you are a foodie this is a must. From start to finish it is a great meal. I had the Panzanella salad, Rack of Lamb and the Blueberry Bread Pudding. It was all memorable. I am definitely telling anyone who visits to try this place“

“Part of the Relais & Chateaux club, the Terrasse is classy. Not overseeing the sea, they have outside table in a cosy garden. Quiet with a nice service, dishes are well prepared. The only thing was that the lamb chops had a cheesy flavor that nobody understood from were that came ?‍♂️. The wine list is extensive with rather heavy prices. Overall we had a good time but regretted not to hv any sea view.

Wheelchair accessibility: Probably not since to access the dining room there are stairs“

“We had a wonderful evening! Excellent food, great service (our waiter & Megan the sommelier we’re excellent) in MV!!!“

“I love this place! We came everyday this week and ordered a variety of delicious meals. WOW!“

“Best hanger steak - the sauce was amazing. The green beans were perfectly cooked. Our server was a doll and right on top of things. This is definitely a local favourite for a reason. A slightly "older" vibe off season, felt like mostly retirees,and the place was packed at 5pm when they opened. We had a great dinner and we'll definitely be back.“

“Very friendly staff and right there whenever u need them!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food, location, and service. My only complaint is the music. It’s so loud we struggled hearing each other and it takes away from the beautiful views and sounds of the beach. I’m from Oklahoma and loud, country music belongs in a bbq joint!“

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

“Really great food year round!“

“Great breakfast food. Clean, comfortable, beautiful location.“

“Cozy place to get dinner and a drink after a day exploring the Cape. Our server (Kymani) was so incredibly sweet and attentive, and the food was delicious. We ordered the turkey supper, elote quesadillas, Jamaican stew and BLT and everything was outstanding, and the portion sizes were very generous. A word of advice - if you get the carrot cake, be prepared to split with the entire group because it is truly HUGE (not that I am complaining - enjoyed it for breakfast the next day!!) Wonderful experience overall.“

“In the words of my toddler: “that’s devour! They make a gooooood grilled cheese.”

But obviously the Holy Cow and the Betty are the way to go.

Dietary restrictions: Everything can be made gluten free

Kid-friendliness: High chairs and a general atmosphere of appreciating the little ones“

“Great food, good atmosphere and awesome bartenders and wait staff !“

“Our go-to place if we want a quick, no nonsense bite. Love the boneless wings! We always get medium. The wings are crispy on the outside, and perfectly juicy on the inside. Delicious! We also love the salads. The staff are friendly and pleasant. Prices are very good.

Parking: Plenty of parking“

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

“Good!Food. Great service and atmosphere!“

“Great food! Great service from friendly staff!! Black owned business 👍🏾👍🏾 The chicken & waffles was soooo good & the cornbeef hash was made just how I like it...with the little crispy pieces. We tried to have breakfast before leaving Monday but was disappointed it was closed BUT this spot is on the list for our next returned visit“

“The food was good but the service was even better. Our server, Kingsley, was super friendly and attentive. It was refreshing to see someone so young take pride in their work. Don't let the outside deceive you - it feels very spacious inside. Guests can eat at the bar or at tables. I would highly recommend the crabcake appetizer. They were delicious. I ordered the steak tips and my husband ordered the fish and chips - both were pretty good. Folks next to us ordered pizzas and they looked tasty. Definitely worth a try if you're visiting the Cape!“

“This is an island Treasure!!! You can be casual and enjoy everything from the menu, the bar and the truly delightful staff. It’s under new ownership, and it’s spotless & has been nicely spiffed up while retaining this “treasured spot” with same spirit islanders love. The mussels were FABULOUS… all portions were plentiful and VERY reasonably priced!! Can have a wonderful cozy dinner and still have enough left to have dessert!!! ENJOY!!!“

“Love the bakery. Never have to sweat what to do for a quick dessert!“

“Good!Food. Great service and atmosphere!“

“We were there off session, in late March, which I'm sure the speed and service efficiency is different from summer months.The Fall veggie melt on facoccia bread, the turkey bacon wrap, the pastrami sandwich, the vegetarian chili, and he onion soup were delicious. The chocolate chip, peanut butter, and the sugar cookies were delicious, too.The service was quick and efficient. You can place your order ahead of time on the phone and avoid waiting in line.

Vegetarian options: Yes

Parking: Limited spaces.“

“I have never had such a beautiful meal, truly eating their food is a whole experience. They never cease to amaze me with the delicious food they serve. My personal favorite is their Egg, Bacon, and Cheese breakfast sandwich. Perfectly melted cheese with such nicely cooked eggs and bacon. 10/10!! ???♥️“

“After a long day of sightseeing I just wanted to sit on the beach and have dinnner with my toes in the sand and my eyes on the sunset. Picked up some tuna salad, noodles, and a gigantic cookie - and the cutest dish towel souvenir - and had the perfect ending to a fabulous day. Thank you, Black Sheep Mercantile!!“

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

“Food was awesome. Great atmosphere with the ‘50’s style. I highly recommend eating here!“

“Food is so good. And the ambience is perfect. Love this resto.“

“My Empress Gin martini (Aka: The Dunes) was delightful. Thank you Billy & Shane for all the attention.“

“It was great very clean and friendly“

“Cool view of the water and boats! Food was fantastic and service was great! We had a delightful waiter with an awesome Jamaican accent. He was very accommodating to my many food allergies, one being shellfish, as was the chef. We flew all the From Kansas so my husband could experience fresh lobster. He was not disappointed! I had a wonderful piece of salmon with a miso soy sauce. Also, the clam chowder was fabulous!!! Oh and yummy Crème Brûlée!! Kudos to the chef!!“

“Such a cute place. There were a few vegan baked goods when I went yesterday- carrot cookie, some kind of bar and the linzer cookie which I got. The cookie was soo good. It tasked like maple syrup and oats with raspberry jam. Plus the. Brown rice plate had so many incredible flavors all in one meal. Black beans, brown rice, guac with mango, plantain, and kale. A well rounded meal with carbs, protein, fat, and veg can be hard to find vegan in general.“

“Love the Newes Great atmosphere great food but what’s up with the new menu? Everyone wants the old favorites back! Fish and Chips, calamari Even the burritos from way back when Please, please bring them back! You’ll be glad you did!“

“This place gets busy during brunch time, but we were able to get a table after only a 5-10 min wait, limited seating/standing room around the hostess area. I ordered 1 piece of raisin French toast & 1 regular, both of which were a little thin, but very good. We also ordered the California burrito, plus an OJ and a coffee and it came to about $40, which was a little pricey given the fact that the quality of the food was okay, and the French toast portion was small.“
