The food was amazing and had sea food and non sea food options the prices were also reasonable for what you get. On top of that they had great service and the atmosphere there was very calm and welcoming. read more

Lookout Tavern - Sushi - Seafood Near Me - Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts

Hostesses could use some hospitality training. For a place that is so busy during the spring/summer, they should really accept reservations to prevent customers from crowding the hostess stand while waiting 20-30 minutes for a table. However, as soon as we were sat at a table, our server (wish I got his name) was very nice and our food arrived very quickly. The lobster bisque was delicious! Great location for souvenir shopping in the area as well! read more

This was my 3rd time visiting and I swear it gets better and better. The food was absolutely incredible. I got the salmon BLT w the homemade chips and it was truly fantastic. Everyone was very happy with their meal. But unfortunately you'll have to wait about an hour if they're busy. But that's a good thing. Why? Well, you the food is solid! Tatum was the best!! She was warm and friendly. My nephew is blind and she was most accommodating. Thank you, Tatum! read more

i'm a surprise this place gets four stars. I was unimpressed with the food. I got a buttered lobster roll, which was good, and subbed a garden salad instead of their homemade potato chips. The blue cheese salad dressing tasted like it was from a bottle. I tasted other people's chips, and a few of them were sort of thick and soft while others were thinner and crisper. They lacked flavor; my friends were adding salt to theirs. So the food is sort of mediocre. Service was super friendly and they certainly have a great spot. We sat outside at a picnic table on the side of the building, so no view of the water. But if you sit at the bar height seats up on the deck, looking out on the water, you have a great view. read more

Great Lobster Roll in OB. The Lookout has the best Lobster roll in Oak Bluffs. Meaty. Warm or cold. Solid. Quality. Great service. The views are amazing. Great for people watching and watching the Ferries come in. read more

Lookout Tavern - Roll - Seafood Near Me - Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts

Seafood restaurant with an amazing view in Oak Bluffs. If the weather is good, try to get a seat on the deck with a view of the ocean. It was a bit busy when we went, but we were lucky to be able to get seated right away on the deck. This place was a bit pricey, but everything we had tasted great. The clam chowder was so rich and delicious. I also got the fish and chips which was less fish than expected, but crispy and great with the tartar sauce. It came with a lot of fries as well. Would definitely come back if I am in the area again. read more

Piece of shell and claw cartilage got stuck in my teeth when I bit into my $40 lobster roll. The meat was all piled in the middle, so a piece dropped on the floor. The roll was nicely buttered and warm, and there was a slice of lemon. But this is not the "island's best" lobster roll, as claimed. Edgartown's Seafood Shanty's $30 roll was much better. Since it's near the ferry dock and has TVs, it's crowded. We waited for a table, and they have a 90 minute seating limit. The ambiance is 'how many more people can we squeeze in here'. read more

My friend and I decided to try this place while on a day trip to Oak Bluffs off a recommendation from someone who lives in the island! I really loved the clam chowder. It came out piping hot & had just the right amount of clams and things inside. My friend also really enjoyed her chicken salad burger. Only con- the hostesses are not friendly and are pretty unwelcoming. Our waiter was great though! read more

This was such a nice spot to watch the game! And the food was great! Get the sushi rolls because they are known for that besides their lobster rolls! If you love lobster this is a must stop place! Also I wanted to try a different cider than the one I ordered but it was horrible, and the manager let me switch it out free of charge! read more

A truly special meal can make all the difference, can't it? There's just something about really good sushi, a really good cocktail, views and solid service that hits just right. It doesn't need to be fancy, or stuffy, or absurd. To be honest, we've had a pretty rough year or two. Lots of stress and tension and just...advanced adulting, you know? The stuff you didn't sign up for. Anyway, we ended up here on a cool May weeknight a couple weeks ago and this meal genuinely turned it all around for both of us. I could feel that all that weight melting away. We were present and enjoying the moment and each other. We were both...happy. Looking back now just a little later, we both are more relaxed and living easier again, like we used to be. The sushi here is fantastic, especially the Crystal Roll. The cocktails are great. Unfortunately I forget the name of the one I had (twice). Our server was friendly and approachable and quick to laugh and chat with us. We can't really afford for this place to become a regular spot, but we've already been back. Whoops. The outdoor area on a nice day is highly recommended. Yes, it's busy. Rightfully so. Both times we were seated within 2 minutes. Maybe I'm hitting that age where I start thinking about my impact on the world and making a difference and all of that...but meals like this make me wish I could open a restaurant to impact people in the way we felt the other night. Highly recommended, obviously. read more

Where in Martha's Vineyard, visiting late October can you get lunch when many businesses have already closed up for the season? So glad I asked the owner of Sanctuary for a recommendation. We walked pretty much back to the ferry dock. It wasn't on the water but across the street. The man at reception was kind enough to unload the items on a sturdy looking crate for Pygmy me to get up onto a high bar stool. I always say I wish I was 2 inches taller. The restaurant had some patrons already eating or drinking. By the time we were done the place was packed. Everything was delicious except the unagi roll was definitely not unagi but some kind of raw cubed reddish fish. M guava ribs was the tenderest almost fall off the bone, perfectly sauced. Very glad we didn't go on the optional 3 hour tour so we could admire the New England style architecture, their landscaping and have time for a leisurely meal. When we had already left the place a couple from the bus who went on the tour asked if we ate there and how it was. read more

.If you're on the Vineyard in the summer, The Lookout is a must. We're here almost every week and it never disappoints. The food is consistently great, and the bartenders and wait staff are genuinely friendly and fun to talk to. We always end up meeting other great people at the bar too. Solid food, good drinks, great vibe -- it's become one of our go-to spots. Highly recommend. read more

Best variety, view and ambiance!!! Service is great. A++++ food is delicious especially clam chowder.

Absolutely loved Lookout Tavern! We were exploring Martha's Vineyard & were immediately drawn to the places over looking the water. It was super busy, but very well run. We were seated pretty quickly and then ordered. I had the Grilled Salmon BLT, and my friend had the Cajun Mahi sandwich. We loved them! This is a "must visit" if you're exploring MV! read more

Large portions the food was amazing. Quick service and the lobster bisque was the best I had on the island.

We went here twice during our visit to MV. We started with the coconut shrimp and they were okay. Somewhat of a small portion for the price and they didn't have a strong coconut flavor. My partner and I both got the cold lobster roll for our main. I substituted for sweet potato fries (delicious) and she substituted for a salad (also delicious). The lobster rolls were massive and one of our top three lobster rolls we've ever had. The lobster meat was extremely fresh and the roll itself was buttery and perfectly toasted. After our first visit we would have given Lookout Tavern a 5/5 but our second visit didn't quite stack up to the first. Our lobster rolls were noticeably smaller on our second visit and my sweet potato fries were cold. Overall, we plan to return, but with hopes it will be akin to our first visit. The staff was super kind and the view from the deck is beautiful. Such a fun typical beach bar vibe! read more

Great views, great energy and vibe. Staff were friendly too. Came in on a weeknight. Place was packed! There's outdoor and indoor seating but we opted to wait for an indoor table with a view. Started with some drinks, we got the lookout lemonade and watermelon patch. The drinks were so strong! Tasty but hitting like a truck. Refreshing and sweet, couple of these will get you loose. Next up was the fried calamari and clam chowder. Calamari was damn good. Crunchy and fresh. Best texture and seasoning of all the calamari I ate on the island. I think the sauce is homemade, it's great. I think this clam chowder was one of the best I had on the Martha's Vineyard. Thick, creamy, flavorful. This is a must get. For our mains we had the cold lobster roll and fish tacos. The lobster was tasty! Lots of chunky meat. Squeezed some lemon juice and viola, ready for feasting. The bread was also delicious. Toasted and thick enough to hold all that meat. The chips were meh. The fish tacos were fried to perfection. Light and fluffy, battered well. The corn salsa was delicious. read more

Missing photos, uploaded what i can find for now. Our orders were usually similar everytime we come here: appetizer not appetizer: whole belly clams plate sushi: mango tango roll, hamachi (sashimi style, not sushi), spicy tuna roll entree: lobster roll & mahi mahi tacos. if we didnt feel like eating fish, then we would order BB King Burger or Chicken wings. Service is always good, on a busy night wait time would be 40 minutes, so plan accordingly. Everyone has to be present and reservations are only made in person not by phone. Things may change since business is slowing down. Thank you Look Out Tavern for your summer service! read more

That lobster roll is amazing! This place didn't skimp on the amount of lobster in my roll. The roll has to be the largest I've ever had. Yummy! We had different varieties of the lobster rolls.. everyone loved it. The chicken tacos were are so enjoy by the non shellfish eater. Our server name was Sasha. She was a delight. Very attentive and friendly. Rating: 4.5 out of 5 I'll definitely be back next summer! read more

The view and vibe cannot be improved. The food however, needs drastic improvement. The service was excellent. The waitresses are attentive and do a great job juggling lots of people. The lobster roll was bland and didn't taste like fresh lobster. It was just slapped together sloppily. The lobster bisque just didn't have the right taste. It did look good but it didn't taste good. The sushi is the way to go if you go into the lookout Tavern. read more

This is a very popular and crammed restaurant & bar. Be prepared to wait for about 30 mins or more for a party of 2 when the weather is good. We took a quick stroll to check out the other restaurants surrounding the block while we waited for our table. We ordered the Tavern lobster roll and the Italian panini, aperol spritz and a blueberry lemonade. The drinks were mediocre. The lobster roll is definitely Jumbo sized compared to other places. You get a lot of lobster meat in a nicely toasted bun with a touch of mayo. Very enjoyable. The cheese in the panini was not melted at all so it ate more like a ham and cheese sandwich. Not enough toasting of the bread either. If we had more time we probably would have researched other dinner options but we left here mostly satisfied and rushing to catch our ferry. read more

We went to Martha's Vineyard for the day on our Cape Cod trip and decided to have some lunch at Lookout Tavern. The lobster roll did not disappoint. There was a lot of lobster meat and the bun was nicely toasted. The clam chowder was also very good, tasty and creamy.

We came here on our first day at Martha's Vineyard and liked it enough to order takeout for a beach lunch on my birthday. There's no kids menu, so we ordered a couple of entrées for the kids to share. The place was busy both times, but service was quick and efficient. The lobster roll was packed with meat. The fish tacos were far from San Diego style but were still tasty. For takeout, we got sushi. While not classic Japanese quality, it was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for a beachside lunch. As a sushi lover, I was happy! read more
