Prix Fix $75 for 2 courses

LOVED our waiter Kevin, but disappointed that we didn't know about the $75 per person Prix Fixe menu when we made reservation 30 minutes prior. Lovely spot and food portions were generous and delicious, but at 6 pm on a Sunday (with only a 90...More

Perfect

Great for a special night out. We celebrated my 50th bday and it was the perfect location. Service was impeccable and food was delicious. We were seated outside with a view of the water. Would love to go back next time in Nantucket.

Great Seafood Lunch

We had lunch here, we ordered inside and brought the food outside to the picnic tables overlooking the harbor. We had a soft shell crab sandwich and crab cakes. Both were great. There is an ice cream place attached (Stars) and I had an ice...More

Excellent dinner

We ate dinner but had to sit on the front porch. Request a table on the harbor for a better setting. Good cocktails, moderately good fish. All deserts were excellent.

It's a 'must'!

We've had ups and downs with service but never with the food. Over the past year, the service has been very good, and i have to say the food during Stroll was excellent- bistro food at its finest! Go, whenever!

A "must" for your Nantucket visit

We had a delightful dinner at a table overlooking the harbor. Food and service here are both top-notch. A piece of advice: you make your reservation well in advance; a dinner experience here makes it pretty obvious why Straight Wharf is so popular.

Not really. Dressier than most restaurants on the island, as there were a few men in jackets, but not required. There were ladies in cute sundresses and men in golf shirts.../
