The Sea Grille in Nantucket is always a top pick for fresh, well-prepared seafood and a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. The dishes are consistently delicious and you can tell they care about quality and hospitality. The affogato at the end of the meal was incredible - the perfect sweet finish and now a must-order every time I go. read more

Okay to be honest this Nantucket trip was last summer so I forgot a lot about what we ordered but the one thing that stands out from this place even till now was the lobster fettuccine. If I I had to narrow down to some favorite dishes from the week there this would be near the top of the list! The lobster was so fresh and the sauce and pasta were homemade so it was just such an amazing dish!!! But seriously everything we ordered was so good and the service was wonderful as well!! Definitely worth visiting! Nice ambiance as well and this was our last dinner before we left which fit perfectly!! read more

Everything at seagrille was above and beyond for our anniversary dinner! The lobster bisque with the puff pastry was insane! Deconstructed ravioli for dinner was fresh with shrimp, lobster, and scallops. The raw oysters were also insane and very fresh. Our server was super friendly and welcoming! Overall the perfect spot to celebrate or just for a night out! read more

Congratulations on 35 years! We come to Nantucket every spring and this is a must on our list. When asking industry people ( bartenders, front desk, waitresses and waiters, etc) for their suggestions, the Sea Grille is always tops on their list. We sat at the bar tonight for a lighter dinner and the food and hospitality were perfect. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Was able to speak with Chef Tucker tonight as well who obviously runs a great kitchen. Highly recommended! read more

Sea Grille - Beet salad with goat cheese that they split for my wife and I - Seafood Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

Popped in to satisfy my chowder craving along with a solid Caesar salad. The place was packed (which I was happy to see as I've been a guest there for decades) so I could only sit at the bar. The chowder lacked its usual seasoning and I didn't pick up any of the typical herb accent (rosemary or thyme). The Caesar was very nice and the croutons crunchy. The service by the bartender was efficient & all smiles. Visiting the Sea Grille over the past 30 years has always been a pleasure. I'll likely go back & have their lobster bisque with puff pastry next time. It's SO good! The grilled lobster & house made fettuccine is on the same list! If you choose to go in summer...best to make a reservation. read more

Sea Grille - Quahog chowdah! - Seafood Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

We wanted to come here for the smoked blue fish and it did not disappoint. It was indeed, smoky. It also didnt have a whole lot of filler like mayo so you can taste the fresh fish. We also really enjoyed the mussles. They are in a curry broth with fresh peas. It is a broth you want to eat with a spoon. So good. read more

An amazing find on this island! I believe it's a local favorite as well! The food was amazing! The ambience was nice and quiet enough that you could have a conversation with your guests. The service was great and timely. Can't wait to go back! read more

This restaurant has a special middle ground for families with young kids, where they totally know how to handle young kids but also make grown ups feel like they're going out somewhere more special than they usually can with the kiddos. At least, that's how we felt! Our waitress was really sweet, and she knew how to act quickly to get kids' orders in and extra bread on the table. (And another round of drinks!) Of course, the food is also incredibly good. I was actually stunned by how good and pretty my yellowish tuna looked. The spot feels upscale without being too stuffy - just the "right amount of stuffy" for Nantucket. read more

Wow. The food incredible, especially the halibut special they had going. The service was perfection. I'm not sure her name but she was attentive and great with recommendations. The place was clean and overall just a great experience especially with other things on the island closing for the season. Will definitely be back if I come back to Nantucket! read more

We had a lovely time here- excellent service, we felt very taken care of. Scallops are DIVINE. Butter cake is a must get. Such a fantastic vibe and place- we can't wait to come back. Thank you Sea Grille! read more

Call in advance up to 30 days. Truly a not to be missed restaurant. We had the ravioli and the cod on lobster mash. Fabulous!

Food was 10/10. Service was 10/10. Everything we had was delicious. There's also a complimentary bread service that was delicious. The service we received was great. Definitely recommend read more

Had a lovely meal with family at Sea Grille. It's got a giant parking lot so parking was easy. I had the roasted beet salad. It had yellow and red beets, herb crusted local goat cheese, onion, caramelized pecans and a nice bright country vinaigrette. I also had the island quahog chowder. It was thick, rich and creamy. The staff was very nice and polite and the interior was very cute. It's a busy place so noise level is as what one would expect for a popular restaurant. read more

We called ahead and made a reservation. We were seated immediately. Service was kind and efficient. We started with the clam chowder (oops, think they call it quahog) and it was very good. Then we ordered the open form ravioli and stuffed lobster. Both were outstanding and we would get them again. The sauce with the ravioli was wonderful!! read more

This was by far the best meal we had on Nantucket. Every dish was absolutely stellar, and we were shocked with the creativity of some of the dishes. Also, I would do unspeakable things for that butter cake. Jeez Louise that was insane. Cannot wait to go back! read more

We went for the first sitting this evening and they opened exactly at 5pm. We were promptly seated and our server came right over to greet us. The menu has many options with something for everyone, our order was taken quickly and the staff were very attentive. The food arrived in good time and my wife had the caviar and I had the chowder which were both delicious. We then both had the linguisa crusted cod, we have both had this dish several times it is always delicious and never disappoints. Our server passed by several times to check on us but we never felt rushed. My only observation is that when the restaurant opened some of the staff were in the hallway between the outer bar and restaurant. 3 were standing partially blocking it whilst checking their phones. But again this did not detract from the wonderful food and great hospitality. read more

This was one of not only the best places we dined on Nantucket but one of the best meals I've ever had period. The service is outstanding, warm and friendly and personable. We are skeptical with bread but the bread basket was not only unique but so good. We started with the crab cake (pure crab absolutely phenomenal) which is a must have, and the smoked salmon croquettes special (so good). My husband and I never order identical entrees but the fluke special as described in the menu picture, complete with crab and Bartlett farm corn risotto was a dish I could eat every week for the rest of my life. I wanted to take a break from town and eat where the locals do and I'm unbelievably grateful that we chose this place. The pina colada (not the frozen TGI Fridays style tacky kind) drink special was also a hit! read more

Outstanding service and menu. Go-to seafood place on Nantucket. Great cocktails. Pricey but worth it.

Went to dinner there last night and it was absolutely awful Our four came out awful my wife told the waitress that she had a shellfish allergy and it came out with a fried potato chip and had to be sent back Our four meals were overcooked and you could tell that the fish was frozen before We never complain about a meal but when all four meals are awful and then something is wrong Our Martinis we served in wine glasses too The manager came over and comped the meal but did not offer anything else I would never go back there read more

Many of the locals in the island say that Sea Grille is their favorite. I would agree that it's great. I seem to always order the seafood ravioli, which translates into one large ravioli stuffed with yummy morsels. My wife loves their salmon. It always seems busy, and worth the money. read more

I love this place! Consistently excellent food for the past 5 years. I love the tuna nachos, steak and yellowtail tuna ala carte. read more

A group of us had dinner here - 2 adults and 3 older teenagers. The food was decent, except for the oysters, but the service was horrific. After we'd been sitting for over 30 minutes having finishing our starters, we politely asked our waitress when we should expect the entrees. The waitress said, shortly. After 20 more minutes passed, I told the waitress that I realized it wasn't her fault, but that we'd been waiting a long time. Rather than say she was sorry for the delay, she curtly said the kitchen was backed up and that timing depended upon when appetizers were finished. When I clarified that we'd been finished for 30 to 45 minutes, she rudely responded that there were 2 more orders ahead of us, so we'd get our food soon. I understand a busy night, but when customers sit down at 8 pm and don't receive their entrees until 10 pm, (particularly when looking at an almost $500 bill), an apology, and not a snotty response, is the better choice. read more

First of all, this is a great place. The vibe is upbeat and a bit noisy which, for me, has lots of good energy. The wait staff was excellent. I think her name was Shay (or Chey)? Very nice, relaxed, and attentive. I had the amazing lobster bisque...lots of lobster, great flavor and puff pastry. Hubs had the clam chowder which he said is the best on the island (and elsewhere)! He ordered the Halibut. The flavor was great but way, way, way too salty. I had a bite and suggested he let the waitress know but he didn't want to. It was as if someone accidentally dumbed salt. It was that salty. I ordered the simple tuna which was very good. The cauliflower side was great! Brown rice was bland. I will always return to the Sea Grille but may just order the soup and salad going forward. read more

Great food and good service even though extremely busy on Saturday night.Waiter was personable and considerate.

Awesome place great food, beautiful atmosphere, 2 bars. Service has always been exceptional

The cocktails were delicious, the ambiance was great, and the seafood delicious. With an extensive menu, we opted for mussels as a starter, and the salmon and bay scallops as our entree. Everything was delicious, including the sides that the dishes came with (butternut squash puree, veggies, etc.) Was so happy Sea Grille was open in November. Definitely worth a visit while in Nantucket! read more

Everything was top notch. From the drinks to dessert. Great service, great atmosphere, great service. Highly recommended.

We dined at the Sea Grille for dinner. Clarissa was our waitress - she was great! *She also had great suggestions for local things to do since we were visiting the island. We had a light dinner of chowder, mussels, the raw oysters & the fried green tomato salad. All delicious and freshly prepared. I had a dessert 'first' - the peach crème brûlée. Also fantastic. Sea Grille a must for lunch or dinner. read more

I love to get out of "town" and eat here because it has more of a locals feel. You can dress up or be causal and be just fine either way. The lobster bisque is a MUST- not just the best on island- but best I've ever had anywhere. The free form lobster ravioli is amazing! Highly recommend. I would not recommend the little necks and fettuccine - way too salty. Service was excellent as always. read more

Very good service. However food disappointed: Expensive wagyu steak was coated in Chinese 5 spice - Why? Why? Why? Does the chef not understand that wagyu is JAPanese not CHInese -- what a waste of a good piece of meat. In Japan, where we have had real Kobe beef many times, you would never see such beautiful beef coated with aniseed. It was god awful at Sea Grille. Said "Steak Frites" was also accompanied by threadlike shoestring potatoes that you can't even pick up with a fork. It looked like a tangled mess of blond hair. These potatoes were not remotely frites (French fries). I dont think chef here eats their own cooking -- how can you actually serve this culinary drivel to paying customers?. Very poor pairing. Rest of food was ok not great. We live on island and we will not go back there. Everything on Nantucket is painfully expensive -- sea grille is no exception -- but if you are shelling out over $100 a person it may as well be great. This choice is decidedly not great. Skip. read more

It is a true pleasure to leave this incredible review, not only is Seagrille an amazing restaurant, but one that is family run and operated! The Starr treat you with incredible pride, and appreciation. The food, atmosphere, and staff only add to this five star review! read more

I'm conflicted with this place because the food was decent albeit a bit dated, and the restaurant itself looked nice, but holy hell the prices! This was our first time in the area and I'm not sure if this is common based on the fact that the entire island is a tourist attraction, but I've never paid so much for such an average meal. Dinner for two was $200, and again it wasn't bad or anything but not fine dining... at least not in this decade. read more

The wagyu special was rancid . Literally vile. When we let the manager know she said it was our perception not the meat. The staff in general was rude and the food sub par. We have had good meals in the past . But after the manager told us that she would cancel our future reservations it was obvious that they just turn and burn the tables. Thank goodness there's always Cru! read more

We tried out this place for dinner on our recent trip to Nantucket. We were able to snag a reservation the same day without issue. It did require getting an Uber if you are staying near Main Street. We were promptly seated at our arrival. We were placed at the front of the restaurant/bar which was quite loud. It was fine but definitely not romantic in any way as it was hard to have your own conversation over everyone else's. Our waiter was very friendly and efficient! He suggested a few items and happily answers any questions we had. We started with drinks and the calamari appetizer. The calamari was wonderful especially with the sauce that accompanied it. The drinks were good but pricey. I had the filet with lobster casserole and a house salad. The filet was ok ( slightly dry and flavorless) and the lobster casserole was a tad salty with too much panko. I probably would not get that again. My husband had the stuffed shrimp, whipped potatoes and a house salad. He enjoyed all of his meal. We didn't have room for dessert but they had a variety to choose from. read more

This is the story of a dishonest and surly hostess. I can't comment on the food since unfortunately we didn't get that far. Read on. It was the last night of our family's wonderful week long stay in Nantucket. We decided to eat our last dinner at Sea Grille based upon a recommendation from our concierge. We called the restaurant to see if they had outdoor seating. This was important to us as we have not eaten inside a restaurant since COVID started and we aren't vaccinated. The hostess assured me they had outdoor seating. I reserved an outdoor table. She confirmed an outdoor reservation. We arrived at the restaurant, checked in at the hostess stand. A rude and condescending hostess grumbled that she'd take us to our table. She proceeded to walk deep into the restaurant. When I reminded her we had reserved an outdoor table (she was the one who took the reservation, after all), she grunted and took us in a different direction. Inside the restaurant still. When we questioned her, she said we were sitting on the indoor patio. Reader, this wasn't an indoor patio. It was just the restaurant's front room. No more a patio than the kitchen. We asked if she could as least sit us by a window and open it. She refused. Off we went to find another place to eat dinner without a reservation on Nantucket for five. Not easy. Seafood Grill, I see I am not the first - by any stretch - to mention your rude hostess. She is costing you a lot of money. You might want to do something about her. Terrible experience thanks to her. read more

We called the restaurant early in the day to ask about outdoor seating. They claim to have outdoor seating on Yelp. The hostess said they had a table on their enclosed patio. We booked a reservation for our last night on the island. Our hotel drove us and we were really looking forward to our meal. The hostess showed us the table which was in their dining room. Extremely frustrating! We have not eaten inside a restaurant for over a year! Covid! I asked about the patio she shared we were in it. It is just the front of their restaurant. I asked if the windows could be opened. She said no there are no screens. It is not a patio and there is not outdoor dining. I said she should be clearer on the phone. She was rude in her response and we left. They might have incredible food but being honest and polite is SO important. read more

This place has a delicious scratch kitchen and is reasonably priced, if you take advantage of it. I highly recommend you call as of November 30, 2021, they do not have lunch seating opening at 5 PM. Keep in mind if you don't particularly like an ingredient or want something more along the classic line, feel free to ask. BEST oysters in AMERICA! And that's coming from a Wellfleet $.50 a shuck man. Raised locally, a father and son team 3.75ea you're welcome The only decision I would've made differently the lobster butter poached rather than charcoal grilled. In their defense, I was trying something new. 2 tap beers, 2 mixed drinks, 6 oysters, 2 entrées and a bread basket $150.00 thank you read more

I personally believe Sea Grille has the best seafood on the island. (If you're looking for something on the less expensive side then Sayles is a great option) I never leave disappointed read more
