    Acai Bowl

    The food was decent but the outside seating was dirty and the acai bowl we ordered for $19 was small and barely had any acai in it. dissapointing portion size for the price and the acai bowl wasnt anything special either. like did i order an acai bowl hold the acai?

    Nice spot for breakfast or lunch by children's beach - so it's great for families. It's fairly new on the island, so it makes for a super convenient spot with no lines when other places get busy, especially during holiday weekends. We liked the chicken sandwich and açaí bowl that we got. Nothing revolutionary, but perfect for a quick bite outside!

    Right at Children's Beach!

    Visiting Nantucket for the day and so glad we decided to stop here for breakfast! We had the Morning Bowl, Breakfast Burrito, Avocado Omelette and Blueberry Pancakes with a side of sausage. I also got an oatmilk latte. Everything was delicious! It was also the perfect spot for our two kids to play, since it is located right on Children's Beach. You order at the counter and then we sat outside to enjoy the beautiful morning. The server was super attentive, making sure we had waters and anything else we needed. We also got to chat a bit with the owners, who were so kind and friendly. This place is a must visit, especially with little ones!

    Delicious açaí bowls! Lots of variety on the menu, friendly staff, nice outdoor seating. Highly recommend!

    Avocado toast

    Where else can you find an elevated breakfast with a gorgeous ocean view at a good price? Go to Gyp-Sea, you won't regret it! Service is great, food is great. There's nothing not to like!

    Bacon Avocado Sandwich and iced coffee

    Great food and better views. Take out or sit down options. Ordered and sat right away. The sandwich could use a tad more flavor, but I would order it again nonetheless. Especially great place to get a meal if you have young children as there is a playground and beach right next to it.

    Avocado toast.

    Very popular and loud place!! The bar area outdoors is lovely with the garden decor and lights…read morestrung around. There were SO many people here; looked like a college crowd. The food was delicious and expensive. We had the asparagus salad and summer salad. Both were delicious and fresh. Steak frites were delicious and the serving size was decent. Duck carnitas was the hit! The duck was delicious and tender. The toppings (pickled onions, pickled veggies, salsa) with the corn tortillas were just right. You prep your own tacos with all the fillings. This was our favorite and we enjoyed the unique concept to use duck! It was an expensive meal but worth it! Service was great. I took more photos but realized they were quite blurry due to it being dark out and I didn't give my phone enough time to capture the photo. I wanted to eat!!! I would definitely come again.

    Wonderful seating service, great ladies with a great sense of humor…read more Seated easily on a Wednesday with no wait; there were about three other sets of patrons, two younger collegiate types, and an older jet-set like ourselves. This being 1:00 pm too. Or, The Whale boasts a great wait staff who are accommodating and professional, as well as being just plain nice. A very clean establishment. We started with the crudités as an appetizer, and we both had the asparagus salad as our lunch - to die for! Very, very good! Priced nicely, and no negatives whatsoever. This place is always packed for dinner, so we were glad that on a Wednesday we were able to waltz in for luncheon. A must do when on island.

Our excitement increased as we entered the…read morerestaurant and were met at the door by 2-3 maître d's, one of which welcomed us and proceeded to gush that we were in for a truly special meal: a Michelin starred chef, fresh, local ingredients and unique dishes & flavors. I wish I could write a glowing review, but in all honesty, I cannot do it. The entire experience was a let-down. The serving staff is clearly hired for the season; they struggle to describe the menu; there is no sommelier available and our server looked like a deer caught in headlights when asked a simple question about the sweetness of a Riesling on offer; the food was trying so hard, but was poorly executed and under seasoned. I ordered risotto with chanterelles, asparagus and fresh greens: what arrived was bowl of bland, soupy rice that somehow managed to be both mushy & undercooked. Two of our party ordered the halibut which was so doused in unnecessary accoutrements that this delicate, wonderful fish was lost (and also slightly overcooked), the last member of our group ordered "a Greek preparation" of lamb that arrived like a gummy block of scrapple (today, we noticed it had been pulled from the menu, thank goodness!). It was practically inedible. The two starters were passable, but nothing to write home about and, needless to say, we opted to skip dessert. The bill for this meal was hefty and didn't deliver in any way. The only positive moment was when we asked for the excessively bright lighting to be dimmed down (we were blinded) and we were kindly accommodated. Long story short: unless American Seasons does some serious reflection on how their marketing & describing the experience here, skip it. You're better off with fried clams at a shack.

The small plates were all $25+ and while the small plates were actually larger than one would think, nothing blew me away. The cocktails are also expensive, pricier than drinks I recently had at The Pearl & Straight Wharf. Pics were from a few years back, but I most recently dined this year (2026) and had the octopus, little gem salad, the clam dip and fried broccoli. While all good, I wouldn't say a dish stood out as fantastic. (Granted, we didn't order any of their more "main dishes". This is definitely a spot that seemingly is more fun with many mouths to feed and try bites of many things. With just my husband & I, we were limited to the same bites of a few dishes. The service was great and the vibes also. The bar is bustling and upstairs is so charming. Overall, a solid night out. I do find it to be more expensive than their neighbors and not quite sure the food lived up to those occasions, which is why the 3 stars, but regardless, a nice night out. Fun Fact: Back in the day, this spot was an Italian restaurant called DeMarco's and I used to be the hostess! (This was 30 years ago and now after writing that, I feel quite old).
