    Portuguese Stew
    Roger I.

    We had a delicious meal in this place that I don't even know how to pronounce the mane. Servers were very attentive and knowledgeable. There is seating inside and out. I had one of the best Arnold Palmers I have ever had.

    Sandwich and fries
    Krystyn P.

    This was a chill location with a diverse menu that was reasonably priced. Oh, and it tastes good too. Is it the most memorable meal I've ever had? No. But, it was relaxing and I would certainly go back. However, if you're going to roll with the name Queequeg... own the Moby Dick reference more than just the hostess stand. Otherwise, this is a pretty solid option for a lunch.

    Mussels & Pork Buns
    Grover G.

    Queequeg's is such a good consistent restaurant in nantucket, their menu has a little bit of everything. From sushi, to meats, and soups. I got the mussels and they were tasty, nice portion with a couple Pieces of grilled bread. It needed herbs or something to freshen up the dish but still delicious. The pork belly buns were also great, you have to eat them as soon as they get to the table or the bun cools off and hardens a bit. Nonetheless it's a solid restaurant offering delicious food at an affordable price in nantucket.

    Fried cod
    Kaeli E.

    Our hopes were high for this place as many people we passed said they loved it. Unfortunately my tacos didn't have a ton of flavor, the fry seemed overdone, and more unique toppings or some sort of house-made sauce would've been nice. It seemed like there was little effort/creativity for this dish. The fries were barely seasoned and also seemed a bit overcooked. The fish on the sandwich was very fresh but besides that, lacking flavor. The fish to bread ratio seemed off, with there being excess bread. The service was great, as my water was constantly refilled, and the food came quickly. I would not return here, as we could easily find better food elsewhere.

    Chowder. Fish & Chips
    Chris W.

    Outstanding! The chowder is among the best of the best. We had the fish and chips and it was exactly how it should be served. Not over breaded. Light. Fluffy and full sized portions of cod. Great service. Fantastic cocktails. Highly recommend.

    Hamachi Dragon and Shashimi
    Chris C.

    A tiny fun - cobble stone side street to street side bar with comfy seating and good drinks ! You have to walk by to notice it between the shingles- but so worth it. We had sushi- and it was delicious!! No comparison- best on island by far... fun afternoon vibe before dinner and left wanting more food - I could eat there every day! Wish we stayed for dinner...

    Steak Frites
    Elizabeth M.

    The service was great! Our server was super friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. Clam chowder was hot and creamy. The steak frites was cooked perfectly and how I requested it. Was give a large side of truffle fries- my fav! We split the crème brûlée but I wish I had it all to myself!! Would definitely go back here!

    Shrimp Scampi
    Annelise B.

    We had a reservation but still had to wait 20 minutes for our table to be ready. Regardless of that issue with the hostess, the rest of the staff was friendly and the food was delicious! Everything came out fast too.

    Ramen
    Pat G.

    We came here for dinner a few nights ago and had the Dynamite Shrimp to start and the Halibut and Ramen as our mains. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The Dynamite shrimp are cooked in a very light batter (almost like beer batter or what you might get with an upper tier sweet and sour chicken/pork) accompanied by a delicious spicy/tangy sauce. Highly recommend this dish. Only complaint being the shrimp are a bit small in size. The Halibut was a little overcooked and dry but the risotto it was served on was delicious, and the sauce (a type of bernaise) was great too. I thought the ramen was a little flavorless compared to what I'm used to eating at places that specialize in Ramen (I should have probably ordered something else). All in all we had a good experience and would come back again.

    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.
