“We really enjoy visiting Offshore Ale Company when we are on the Vineyard. We love its warm, casual and inviting atmosphere. The vegan options aren’t extensive, but there are enough. This time we had a great pizza which they veganized by leaving off the cheese. This is one of our favorite places.“
“This review is based on our experience having dinner in November 2023.The Sweet Life was a truly surprise, an amazing hidden gem in Oak Bluffs, MV. The kitchen is audacious, their dishes show a genuine desire to take risks and whoever is in charge is delivering.Portions are correct, enough. Every ingredient has a purpose, each one has its moment in the journey. The grilled octopus resembles an interpretation of the Spanish dish pulpo a la gallega. The ricotta cavatelli is like if you were eating pasta with a hint of key lime pie. The anchovies in the mafalde, shout here we are!, but just at the right moment. And then, at the very end, you think all is over, the chocolate budino blows your head off.The service is attentive, simple, gracious. The ambiance, just like you'd expect from a place like this in MV. There's a disconnection with the 3-star menu and the rest of the place (not a complaint! is more like a compliment). You don't need the up-scale snobby set-up to deliver a fantastic experience.“
“This is a standard brewpub with several tv screens all around to watch the ongoing matches (including golf). We went on a Friday night in mid-April (early in the tourist season) and were pleasantly surprised to not only see this place open but almost packed! For reference, most restaurants on the island and in oak bluffs are closed at that time. Surprisingly, there was no music or sports commentary being played inside the tavern. Despite that the place was buzzing with chatter and didn't feel quiet/boring at all. The staff, including the host and our server were friendly and warm. The server offered to get beer tasters when I was pondering over my choice of beer. I'll give a thumbs up to both the IPA and the brick red beer on tap. To eat, we opted for the beer battered fish & chips and the fish sandwich. Portion size is on the larger side and taste wise, the food is decent. They are quite generous with the sauces & dips. The location of this tavern is fantastic; it overlooks the East Chop Lighthouse and beach and is a couple minutes away from both the oak bluffs ferry station and the oak bluffs bus stop.“
“I planned a trip to the vineyard last July for 20 people. We went to the Barn Bowl & Bistro one evening for dinner and bowling. We reserved three lanes, which was perfect -- plenty of room for bowling and food. I was nervous about ordering food for such a large group, but the staff did an amazing job. All the orders were correct and the food came out quickly. The staff was exceptionally friendly and professional and even offered to take a photo of our group, which was no easy task.“
