    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.

    I've heard massively good things about Sayle's from my friends who live in the island, year round…read more Well, thing is, it's a take out place. They do have a couple of tables outside, but it was kind of a cool and windy day and not enjoyable to be sitting out. Darn shame. Seafood was alive in tanks. Everything was very fresh. Prices very reasonable. Too bad they do not have a real eating area, not a restaurant, but a place where you can sit, use utensils, and enjoy.

There's a place to park, I can walk in, order a fried fish sandwich, look at some lobsters in a tank for ten minutes (the best part) and be out the door with a hot n ready fried fish sandwich in my hands. On my last visit, the woman at the counter was so happy. I was already happy because I was getting a fried fish sandwich. And then I was feeding off of her energy, and I was just having such a great moment in Sayle's Seafood! Now, I could sit in and eat here and bask in their fishy glory since there are tables, but I have yet to do so. I also love the view of the harbor from the front porch and that it's tucked down that little street and the vibe is so island that it contributes to the over-romanticism of Nantucket that happens in my mind but that's okay. The fish sandwich was really good. The time before that, I ordered the clam strips side, which was a lot smaller than I believed it was going to be. They were small individual pieces and fried well-done, while I do prefer a softer crunch. Next time, I will order the clam strip platter which comes with accoutrements. I also had their clam chowder, which I also thought was pretty good. I will be back for more seafood, and I hope that it is soon!

    The parking was a bit sketchy. It is just street parking. Everyone must have been in town because…read morewe had trouble finding a spot. It is located in the center of town so in a house converted into a restaurant. I started out with Tuna Taraki which was five slices of fresh tuna on a bed of curry topped with a sliced plum. It was delicious. As an entree I had the swordfish that was seared. It was a large portion that filled me right up. The waiter was marginal. We asked if he had after dinner port be the glass. A simple request. He disappeared for 15 minutes while he checked. This required a yes or no answer from the kitchen. As it turns out, they did not have it. The restaurant had about twenty table with a separate bar area. The dining room was dimly lit. I would return whenever I am on the island. It is a top-notch restaurant.

After having been brought to our seats at the bar, then told they were reserved, we were walked back outside to sidewalk and into adjacent restaurant's (boarding house) dark & dank -empty- bar (with music blaring), we asked if an outside sidewalk table was available. Yes but we needed to eat & leave by 7:15. It was 6:15. We said yes because we knew (ASSUMED) that was possible. Though there were 3 2-seat tables available, she put at a table almost on top of a table of 6...3 very loud & ill behaved children. And that's where we remained, waiting a while for "server" to ask us for drink order, then finally take our dinner order (never mentioned the specials; I had to ask) and then we waited & waited (meantime 7:15 came & went) for our very small servings of boring (& room temp) cod & even smaller ("share plate"?!?) of crudo. And because the plates most likely sat in kitchen & wee ignored by pit "server" the fish was not hot and the crudo was not cold. Never again Pearl, never again

    Lots of options to choose from on the island of Nantucket, and I'm very glad we tried this one!…read moreLocated right next to the pier and ferry, it makes sense to grab dinner here before heading out back to Hyannis. There was a cute market attached although it was closed when we stopped in, or at least no one was over there. Service was friendly and we were seated inside nearly immediately.

Unfortunately the outdoor seating was booked (party of 5) so we sat indoors. It was quite busy for dinner. The menu is simple and just right. We ordered SO much food! The clam chowder was too watery for my taste. I'm a fan of thick hearty New England style clam chowder. I liked the onion rings with caviar but the batter took on most of the flavor. Caesar salad had a little twist: no croutons and topped with anchovies. It was yummy. Fish tacos were a hit; we ordered fried instead of grilled. The warm lobster rolls were delicious. I avoid gluten where I can so I got the fish sandwich without a bun. It was crispy on the outside, flaky and soft inside. Coleslaw made it whole. The rosemary fries and cornbread as sides were addicting! Key lime dessert was meh. It was busy but we got the attention we needed. The staff was friendly and had smiles on their faces. Definitely good for fried seafood!!!

The scrambled eggs were perfectly prepared (I asked for them well-done) and of course the home fries were the star of the show. My latte was also very good, and these mug it was served in was so cute. I tried a bite of my friend's chocolate chip waffle, which was recommended to us by a coworker who said it was the best on the island. I can't say I have tried any other waffles on the island, but this one was quite delicious and it would be difficult to top it. Even though it was busy late on Saturday morning, my party of two was seated right away. Sure, you're sitting close to the people next to you, but I do not mind. The place is well-decorated and has a pleasantly clean vibe about it. I am looking forward to trying dinner here as well in the near future!
