Great food and drink! Had a fabulous solo lunch while visiting Oak Bluffs. Nick was so wonderful and made this visit worthwhile.

Excellent restaurant in Oak Bluff. We started with the Negroni with Balsamic. Delicious. We share the focaccia, the mussels and mafalde. Each was wonderful. For mains, we had the sea scallops, tautog and pork chops. Each dish was fantastic and enjoyed by all. I highly recommend.

I have to second the sewage stench another reviewer mentioned!! It's absurd - it seems worse the closer to the bar you are on the patio. It wafts through whenever the back door opens which is constantly. Really disgusting. I was offended they sat me it what has to be known as the 'bathroom' seat and moved all the large parties to the far end where you're in the clear. Food-wise: I'm vegetarian and my waitress warned that the single option I had for entree would be less fulfilling than the meat courses for the same price. Not a good sign! If you are routinely getting feedback like that then do something about it; don't start dispensing 'beware' notices to guests before they eat. The sticky toffee pudding was served cold with a synthetic-tasting caramel. I asked for tea and they put such a small amount of water in the pot, it did not fill the tiny cup I was given and kept going cold. I had to repeatedly ask for more and could not leave the bag inside to brew since they kept having to replace it. It seemed like they didn't know how tea works.

We’ve only been in MV for 2 days but everything was so good I’m having a hard time thinking we will find better. Our server Ashly was super friendly and attentive A++

Environment was on point. Service was surprisingly sub par for such a nice spot. Our server was good, but others didn't seem to quite understand restaurant etiquette. Scallop dish was yummy with the pomegranate seeds. Octopus was a bit charred, as was the focaccia but still pretty tasty. Pork belly was amazing.

First time in Martha's Vineyard. Dine at The Sweet Life our server Chloe was amazing. But the true gym was the food it was delicious. I definitely would recommend Martha's Vineyard to anyone who wants to have a beautiful Point quiet and relaxing vacation here but if you want some sweet delicious food go to the Sweet Life, I heard Barack Obama even likes this place. Is definitely a thumbs up for me see why I call your attorney

THERE IS A SEWAGE SMELL IN THE BACK
I’m told the neighbors sewer just “does” this. It’s absolutely horrid.
Table 40. No effort was made to move us or blow the smell away or ANYTHING. I encourage the owners of this place to sit there and attempt to eat a meal under those conditions.

The service, atmosphere, and cocktails were excellent. But the portions were ridiculously small. The hamachi appetizer could not have had an ounce of fish. The pasta was tasty but tiny. Only the ribeye was an actual grownup portion but still maybe 8oz at most. I’ve eaten at Michelin Star restaurants in Paris with much larger portions. We literally walked out of the restaurant after spending $500 and walked across the street and ate 2 slices of pizza each. Would have been 4-5 stars but they need to give 50-100% more food. There are much better options around.
I go to Sweet Life every summer. It never disappoints. I almost always get the tasting menu with wine pairing- such a spectacular experience.

So good! I feel like both gastropub and cafe are misnomers - this is a high end restaurant, best meal we had on the vineyard

Dinner was spectacular and our server Filip was incredibly helpful with menu suggestions and recommendations. The outdoor garden atmosphere was cozy and serene. After almost 40 years of drinking martinis, this is the first restaurant/bartender that was able to make a genuine & proper James Bond Martini. The menu is a true testament to local and seasonal offerings, not just your typical tourist restaurant staples, you can tell that the chef goes out of their way to entice his audience with unique fare that is fresh and creative.

We had an incredible dinner at Sweet Life , made even more memorable by our waiter, Philip, who was an absolute standout. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable with spot-on wine recommendations, but he was also a delightful conversationalist who made us feel right at home. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor!
