    We were visiting friends in Raleigh from NY and they made reservations for us at Nantucket Grill. We were seated at a nice table inside and our drink orders were taken quickly. I had ordered a cucumber/basil Moscow Mule but she said they were out of basil. Others ordered wine and beer. I decided to stick with water. We gave our appetizer order of calamari along with the drink order. The calamari came out quickly and was tender, fresh and delicious. About a half hour later she comes over with my cucumber basil drink, they found basil! At this point I no longer wanted it but I took it, it was refreshing . We ordered two of their twin lobster tail specials , one prime rib special and their baked scallops I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the lobster tails They were sweet and delicious. My husband said his scallops were also flavorful. The prime rib looked great too. Our friends were very happy with their entrees . The sides that came along with the entrees were also generous and delicious too! Our server was friendly and competent. Only issue was we ordered bread that never came. We didn't stay for dessert because we had cake waiting at home. I wish you had a location in New York! We would def Italy come back!

    We held my boyfriend's birthday here today and it was amazing! Firstly, this location allows reservations and the process from booking with Meredith and ordering a cake for a party of 18 was successful, smooth and seamless. Private room with a tv was a hit for watching the game! The star of the show on the day of our party was Summer, our waitress! She was so amazing. Patient, informative, friendly, great personality, prompt, and overall made our experience and my boyfriend's birthday a major success. I highly recommend this location and Summer for your waitress request needs as she handled a party of 18 like a pro!

    The food was really good! I had baked sea scallops! The server was really nice! My fiancé's burger came out wrong and they gave us a free dessert because he was still happy with the burger. Over all very nice!

    Beef Grilled Kabob with mixed veggies and herb rice
    Bernie S.

    First and Last Visit to Nantucket Grill! We visited Nantucket Grill to celebrate my birthday, and unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired -- especially regarding accessibility and consistency. Accessibility Issues: The first red flag was the lack of a ramp at the main entrance. My father uses a walker, and he struggled to get up the steps. When I asked the hostess, she mentioned the ramp was at a side entrance, which made no sense -- especially considering the designated disabled parking is right by the main entrance. This setup forces those with mobility challenges to go out of their way, either through the patio or around the building, to enter the restaurant. On our way out, the same steps were blocked by parked cars and crowded with people and patio seating, making it even more difficult and unsafe for my dad to exit. Service: The bright spot of our visit was our server, Bella. She was friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout our meal, and truly one of the few positives from our evening. Food: Appetizer: The Nantucket Nachos with vegetarian chili were surprisingly good -- maybe it was hunger, maybe they're just that tasty. Entrees: The Grilled Beef Kabob was tender with perfectly cooked veggies, but the herb rice was overcooked. The two bacon cheeseburgers were hit-or-miss -- one was perfect, the other undercooked and served to the wrong person. The grilled chicken sandwich was fine, and the sides were average -- greasy onion rings, okay fries and slaw. The beef chili was a disappointment, served cold. Dessert: I had pre-ordered the salted caramel cake, and while it's hyped by many, I personally found it far too sweet with overly thick icing. If you prefer something less sugary, this may not be for you. Final Thoughts: Checkout was smooth, and again, Bella's service stood out. However, between the accessibility issues, inconsistent food, and an underwhelming dessert (hence the two stars), I don't see myself returning to Nantucket Grill -- unless it's just to be served by Bella again.

    My sweet Auntie and a couple of friends took me here to celebrate my birthday. A Saturday afternoon in October about 3p. We walked right in and were immediately seated next to a large party of maybe 10. They were finishing up and chatting. Our waitress soon came to take our drink orders. She was very pleasant and professional...but friendly. Service was great and the food was delicious. Everything arrived at the table as requested, plated with care, warm and fresh. We were pleased with our meals and the service. Now dessert...I had a huge piece of lemon delight cake and it was scrumptious! Our waitress brought it out with a lit candle and sang a little birthday song as the table near us joined in and me...I danced of course because it's what you do on your birthday! Then guess what...that huge piece of cake was complimentary on the house! Everyone enjoyed the delicious desserts at Nantucket and they all took home an extra dessert. Not me though...I enjoy my huge slice right there! Overall this was a wonderful experience. Wish I could remember the waitress's name so I could give her a shoutout for being so dope.

    Great family friendly atmosphere! Nice decor and great servers. Large selection on the menu and the best cake!!! It was pretty packed when we arrived but had a short wait for a table of 4. Will defintely return!

    Birthday cake to go !
    TJ L.

    Alone on a random cold January night. Popped into the Nantucket on way home to take advantage of their half-price appetizer and a toddy. Sat at the bar and was tended to quickly by the very personable bar keep. My cosmo was perfect. Can't say the same for the crab dip. Too much dip and very little crab. And way too many green peppers and scallions. The free cake slice was a nice surprise. Did I mention it was my birthday?

    Lobster and mashed potatoes
    Ashley F.

    Went here for a family dinner, the service was great. The server was very friendly and checked on us often. I ordered the lobster and it tasted pretty good. It was a special of the day, I must admit that it wasn't the best lobster that I've ever had but it wasn't bad. The mashed potatoes were really good as well. This restaurant is definitely one where we frequent, I usually order the steak and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is nice as well. It really has a family feel to me. I will definitely be back soon!

    Stuffed Shrimp
    Shakira W.

    The food here has been delectable every time but I finally made it to taking photos without diving head first lol on a late Saturday afternoon is a pretty chill time to go here. Our server was very attentive and accommodating. He was very kind and helpful. Now the crab dip, didn't last 5 mins. Of course I ran out of the dip before the pita. I tried the Blossom rum punch which tasted like juice and made me feel like I was back on a trip in a Caribbean. The stuffed shrimp with crab was bursting with flavor and they did not go too light on the crab so I'm glad. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and the risotto melted in my mouth. I did stick my fork in my cousin's pasta plate and YES. I'm not a huge pasta eater but they definitely did the darn thing with that dish.

We couldn't decide which was better, they were both delicious, not at all the cafeteria restaurant soup we almost expected, but very homemade. $5 a cup, but $3.90 since we ordered lunch menu items. Well worth the money! Lunch was Fish 'n Chips for me; super good crispy fried white fish, not greasy at all, which is the sure fire way to ruin any fried meal. The fries are really good, too, almost McDonaldy. Comes with tartar, ketchup, malt vinegar (asked for), and a really good garlic aioli. Hubs had Shrimp Risotto, which was blackened shrimp over really creamy risotto with red peppers, scallion, and tomato. Delicious. Also couldn't decide who got the better lunch. Our lunch specials were less than $15 each, a bargain today, and we each took half home. Hubs also had a beer, and I had the house Cabernet, which was really smooth. Around $50 for everything; didn't mind spending that at all since everything was so good. Really glad we found this newer place; fingers crossed it doesn't go the way of so many downhill the longer they're here.

After running errands, we drove just six minutes to El Chapin, a Guatemalan restaurant. Forget Tex-Mex--this is a completely different Latin cuisine experience. The two of us spent $76 (including tax and tip), but we intentionally ordered extra to take home leftovers. Parking was easy, right out front, and the restaurant itself is spacious. Since we arrived just a few minutes after opening, we had the place to ourselves at first and were seated immediately. Service was prompt and very helpful--the server even suggested we might have ordered too much food (he was right, but we didn't mind!). Here's what we tried: Plato Chorizo y Longaniza - a sausage platter with salad, rice, refried black beans, and two delicious housemade corn tortillas. Pollo Adobado - marinated chicken with rice, salad, refried black beans and two housemade corn tortillas . Ceviche de Camarón - fresh and tangy, though light on shrimp, which tasted a bit tough Fried Plantains - perfectly done, sweet, and satisfying. Plus, I had an unsweetened iced tea with lemon. The highlights for me were the flavorful rice (with vegetables mixed in, including carrots and squash), the marinated chicken, and the sausages. The plantains were also excellent. The ceviche had great flavor but could've used more shrimp. The only miss for me was the salad--generous in portion but iceberg-based, so a bit bland. Overall, the food was fresh, flavorful, not heavy or greasy, and we left with enough for another one or two meals. We'll definitely be back.

We went with the Cajun wings and a seafood boil with king crab legs, shrimp, boiled eggs, potatoes, and corn. You can choose between different marinades and spice levels. We went with garlic butter and mild spice. I really wanted to try the shrimp fried rice but it was no longer available, I assume due to being sold out. Next time! Upon delivery, the food arrived very hot and smelled delicious. They ensure it's packaged so a leak doesn't occur. The wings were super crispy, flavorful, and delicious. The boil was a huge portion, truly fresh, flavorful, and delicious. You never know what you're going to get when you order seafood for delivery, but we were thoroughly impressed! The seafood boil and wings could feed two people I'd say. I can't wait to order again and absolutely will be. I will say the only downside is the price, it was about $160 for the boil and wings, but for a special occasion, absolutely worth it. I was debating between four and five stars but it was SO delicious and fresh, that I had to go with five.

    Great Seafood This…read moreupscale seafood restaurant offers a comprehensive menu, generous portions, excellent service and great food at slightly above average prices (but reasonable). You really do 'get what you pay for'. The bar and dining area are casual, modern and inviting. There is also a spacious patio for al fresco dining when the weather is nice. I was particularly impressed with the Salmon BLT. This enhanced version of the classic BLT is hearty, meaty, slightly crunchy and simply delicious. Another favorite of ours is the Honey-Chipotle Shrimp Wrap with lettuce and roasted red peppers. There are plenty of lightly fried, slightly briny shrimp crammed into an interesting spinach tortilla wrap. The unlimited basket of golden brown, almost sweet Hush Puppies comes with semi-soft honey butter - addictive. There are several lunch options on the 'Small Plate' menu (we found the servings to be more than adequate). That old standard, Fish and Chips was done to perfection. The thick piece of delicate, mild white fish was was covered in a light, golden-brown batter. I substituted Fried Okra for the Potatoes, and it was delicious. The Flounder and Oyster small plate is another winner. The ten crunchy, juicy fried oysters and a large founder filet were cooked just right. Small plates also include a small cup of Cole Slaw. The colossal slice of Coconut Cheesecake was simply scrumptious - creamy, smooth and so coconutty. Do yourself a favor and indulge.
