If it’s your first evening visit to Black-Eyed Susan’s , you might be surprised that all their dinner offerings fit on one side of an 8 x 11 menu. But after you read the menu and understand the range of the chefs in this small island eatery, you’ll realize that’s […]

Best Bites of 2017
Here are our choices for “Best Bites” at Nantucket Restaurants for 2017: these are our favorite dishes among those we tasted during our Featured Restaurant visits this season – appetizers and entrees that we’d love to have again. Some of these dishes that we enjoyed during July and August were […]
Crosswinds Restaurant – Where the Locals Go
Some of the best advise we’ve heard when it comes to finding a restaurant with great food and great value is to “go where the locals go” – Crosswinds Restaurant & Bar. If you’ve flown on or off Nantucket, you’ve probably seen this eatery at the airport. But it’s not […]
Easy Street Cantina – One Nibble and You’re Hooked
New England is known for small seaside cafés and clam shacks that specialize in fresh seafood, but we can think of only one eatery on Nantucket that carries on that tradition. Easy Street Cantina is by the harbor rather than the sea, but it definitely offers fresh seafood prepared simply […]
Atlas Restaurant – Going the Extra Mile a Mile from Town
It’s true: we’ve filled just about every niche on our tiny island, and one thing there is certainly no shortage of is fine dining. It seems somewhat fortunate that many of the desirable destinations are within walking distance of Main Street, but many are not. Sometimes you have to go […]

Cool and quiet by day and one of the island’s hottest nightspots after dark, the Rose and Crown on South Water Street is more than just a local pub. Yes, this island landmark serves tall cold drafts, potent cocktails, and has entertainment every night, but they also offer a menu […]
Fifty-Six Union – Culinary Magic on the Edge
Magic happens when you add scrumptious food, superb libations, a dash of whimsy, and a bit of fun to summer on Nantucket, and this happens every evening just a short stroll from Main Street at Fifty-Six Union. This eatery on the edge of town has the body of a chic […]
Dune – Where Dinner is a Culinary Event
Sometimes during our featured restaurant adventures we try a dish that is so unexpectedly good that it dominates our conversation and haunts our dreams. This happened last week at Dune. When we returned to this downtown restaurant just two evenings later for the same dish, it was every bit as […]
Breeze Restaurant, A New Tradition in Nantucket Dining
I could see she was a bit hesitant as I helped my little granddaughter into the fire truck. She was clearly not convinced that we were supposed to be climbing into the back of this shiny red vehicle. She sat on her mother’s lap and the truck took off from […]
