    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.

    Is it $18 for a mudslide that you could make at home for cheap? Yes. But is it a place you think…read moreabout fondly when looking back at Nantucket? Also yes. A mandatory stop every time we are on the island, but usually just for one drink. If not looking for the mudslides (which, why are you even here??), the Surf Report is a nice refreshing drink made with local vodka!

    Tell me why this place is advertising that they're closing???…read more After going inside, I'm thinking maybe because it's a hazard to allow this many people inside something they're calling a "gazebo." From the outside, it looks SO fun because literally everyone is inside. Then you get inside and realize you have entered a human sardine can. Back to back. Elbow to elbow. No room to move. Just wall-to-wall people with sweaters tied around their necks like a noose, looking extremely Nantucket and pretending this is enjoyable. HOW is this fun??? This place is as pretentious as the rest of the island. And then there's the famous Gazebo Mudslide. Please. It's a plastic cup full of frozen sugary chocolate milk, Hershey's syrup, and what tastes like a splash of Baileys, and somehow we're all pretending this is an actual cocktail. $15??? For a boozy Yoo-hoo??? Very Nantucket. Very trust fund milkshake. Very "my sweater has never actually been worn." And with the price of real estate on this island, I have another question: how are you affording to rent even this tiny slice of anything here??? Maybe that explains why they have to fit 400 people into 12 square feet. Honestly, if you're looking for a place where you can pretend you're having SO much fun while someone's elbow is in your ribs and you're drinking a $15 frozen chocolate milk out of a plastic cup, this is your place. Come join the sardine can they call The Gazebo. They say they're closing and moving somewhere else. I say maybe the gazebo has suffered enough weight to carry in it's lifetime

    Chef Emmanuel "Manny" Rojas might be one of the best chefs on Nantucket. This former New Yorker and…read moreMomofuku Ssam Bar alum draws from culinary traditions of every sort, from Mexican and Caribbean, to Korean and Thai. Perhaps in reflection of his New York City roots, all these varied culinary cultures are thrown into the same kitchen, tossed together with abandon, and sprinkled with some Chef Rojas magic, resulting in some of the most interesting, intelligent flavors you can find on Nantucket. The current menu includes dishes like Taiwanese fried prawns, duck wontons and street corn strips with miso aioli, cotija and furikake, which play alongside ingredients like kimchi, water chestnuts, and curtido! Perhaps not surprisingly, given Chef Rojas's Momofuku pedigree, the dinner menu features Korean Barbecue Pork, a large-format family meal that closely resembles Chef David Chang's famous bo ssäm, a slow-roasted, sugar-and-salt-cured whole pork shoulder. KOREAN PORK BBQ ($170; sushi rice - cucumber kimchi - korean bbq sauce - ginger scallion sauce - bibb lettuce wraps) allegedly feeds four to six people. Given the small dent that the four of us made in the dish, even with a few growth-spurting ravenous eaters, the dish could probably feed eight hungry adults. Be prepared for leftovers and meal plan accordingly! At a more recent Sunday brunch, we had the wonderfully culturally ambiguous TUNA TOSTADA ($27; pickled jicama - aji amarillo - charred cipollini & sesame puree - shallot). It was a bit Mexican, a bit Peruvian, a bit East Asian -- and a lot delicious. I'm one of those people who don't get all the hoopla over AVOCADO TOAST, but the Progeny seem to be on the bandwagon. The version served at or, The Whale ($22; cherry tomato - fried egg - everything bagel spice on toasted sourdough) might just win me over. Excellent, ripe sliced avocados came topped with a sunny-side-up egg, lots of tender microgreens, and slightly pan-seared sweet cherry tomatoes. The EGGS BENEDICT ($26; choice of country ham or smoked salmon - poached eggs - house biscuit - hollandaise) were classic and well made with perfectly runny yolk and super rich, buttery hollandaise sauce. But the most delicious thing on the plate was the side of hash browns, a generous slab that was beautifully browned to a crisp on the outside. Cocktails are delicious, though a touch wimpy by our lush standards. Predictably, I'm fond of the entertainingly named UNCLE BAD NEWS ($17; jalapeño-infused tequila, passionfruit, lime) since I'm a sucker for any cocktail with jalapeño as an ingredient.

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.

Walked about a mile from my hotel to get there the place was happening. There were two bouncers at the door. I said, how are you doing and walked in. Went to the bar and ordered a Modelo. The bartender did not ask me for any money which I thought was strange but I figured I'll catch him on the next one or on the way out. I went to walk over to where the merch was and saw a buffet and then I noticed passed hors d'oeuvres. I walked back to the bouncer and I said is this a private party and he said yes I was embarrassed so I finished my beer. Left some money on the bar and walked out. As I was walking out somebody the owner or manager, I presume yelled after me. He said you know that was there a private party right. I said they let me in. He's cursed at me and then I said they let me in. I left money on the bar. I didn't know he cursed at me again called me a liar and accused me of I don't know what and said "I don't want your money" which was already inside on the bar. This place is an overrated dive where everyone is gonna be drinking and driving when they go there. Don't bother don't waste your time for an owner/manager that is going to lie, intimidate, make false accusations, curse, and not even listen to my side of the story.
