Our family had dinner at the Sea Grille last night. We were expecting outdoor dining, but when we realized that our reservation was inside, and I expressed my discomfort, the staff made every accommodation possible to ensure that we were comfortable. They moved us to the screened in area by the bar. The hostess was incredible and made us feel at ease. Our server and bartender Mark was exceptional. He was on top of every need, laughed our kids jokes and ended our meal with the best espresso martini. The seafood was fresh and wonderful, and everything tasted better because of the incredible staff. We couldn't suggest this restaurant enough!! read more

Suzie our waitress is the best! She made us very excited for our dinner, and personally, I wish she could have pulled up a chair and joined us. The most delicious Manhattan I've ever had. Tuna nachos were loaded with tuna - halibut had incredible flavor. Fisherman's platter was huge. read more

We were so excited to be back on Nantucket and eating at the Sea Grille. But when I called to check on our reservation the hostess was extremely rude (including hanging up on me). I thought I must have misunderstood and wasn't quite clear on the arrangements, so I called back. I explained I had thought we were disconnected and just wanted to confirm that we were all set. She was clearly annoyed. She said 'that is what I just told you' and pretty much hung up, again (no 'good bye', just click). Well, I didn't feel very good about that so I later called back and asked to speak to the manager. I explained to him that we felt we had been treated rudely and did not feel comfortable keeping the reservation. Without much sincerity, he said 'sorry about that'. And with that, he cancelled the reservation. It was about a 20 second conversation. No effort to turn it around. The bar was pretty low - say 'good bye' before you hang up and don't get snarky with the customer. Not going back. Pity, the food was decent. read more

This is a classic seafood restaurant with absolutely delicious food! Love the Sole Piccatta and Crusted Cod!! Actually, too many delicious entrees, appetizers and salads to list that are all so, so incredibly delicious! read more

Overpriced pedestrian menu (predominantly competently but unimaginatively prepared standard fish) offered in a setting I can only describe as a bar with additional table seating attempting but failing to convey a sense of elegance. Eclectic music so loud that quiet conversation impossible. A major disappointment. read more

The Sea Grille was overall wonderful experience. Our waitress was so friendly and very helpful when it came to recommending some of her favorite choices for dinner. Highly recommend getting either the Linguica Crusted Cod or the Grilled Lobster & Fettuccini dish, both were hands down delicious! We will definitely be back. Amazing food, cozy atmosphere and wonderful service! read more

I went for lunch yesterday with my parents and we really enjoyed our meal. The warm lobster roll was one of the best that I've had ! Furthermore their sweet potato fries were just lovely. I personally thought the clam chowder was decent but that's where legal seafood has them beat. Definitely would return for a lobster roll or two . Their beer was served with a chilled glass which was noted and appreciated by my father. We also had the calamari which I was shocked was not served with cocktail sauce ( so I asked for it) buuuut after trying out their homemade sauce I saw the cocktail sauce was not needed. Definitely would return. read more

Fun seafood dinner for our last night on the island. Went as part of my mother's birthday celebration. Had the lobster "fisherman" style. More food than I could eat. It was a very pleasant meal. Also had the fried oyster starter and enjoyed it too. The sides with the lobster were ok but almost didn't eat much of it because the lobster was so good. read more

Can I post Negative stars? Is that a thing? Do not eat here! Food is mediocre at best! The portions are small and unappetizing! My husband and I both had the Island Quahog soup.. More like clam shell soup with little flavor! It was so gritty! We had the beet salad- the cheese was a fried ball of nothing - and the dressing also had no flavor! Finally, my husband had the fried shrimp. He said it was fresh! (Yay for them) But they gave him 5 shrimp, ice cold fries and Cole slaw??! I ordered the littleneck clams with the homemade fettuccine. Eh eh! No flavor! I couldn't tell if I was eating sand or shell! Again, the portions were no larger than appetizer portions. -total cost $95.00 "They don't post their prices online. They change their prices seasonally" Had this meal had some flavor, or less shell and some adult size portions and been from ANYWHERE else- I would've payed $200-to 300. This was just so bad! I don't post often, but I mean what I say! Save yourself! read more

This is one of my favorite places on the island, more and more I am choosing places away from the "Town", my husband and I are getting older and have a harder time with the cobblestones with each passing year so we usually bring our car and escape the town center where the "walk ons" are kept captive (within walking distance) the lines are longer and the prices are usually a digit longer too. I ordered a Martini that was "perfect" and very generous, so generous I skipped the wine that night. I love the Fried Calamari, as an appetizer it is more than adequate for two. My husband had the Broiled Swordfish w/ Lemon Butter, Rice Pilaf and a wonderful Sweet & Sour Cabbage, lots of wonderful flavor on his plate. I had the Broiled Yellowfin Sole (rolled sole) with lemon buttery light crumbs, Potato Gratin and a serving of that great S & S cabbage. We topped off our very filling dinner with a big scoop of creamy black raspberry ice cream and two teaspoons, perfect dessert! Our dinner for two with a drinks, one appetizer, dinner and one dessert was about $160.00, not cheap but we didn't feel taken advantage of either, our meals were very well prepared, our wait staff answered all questions and was very attentive, she really knew the menu and I appreciate that! read more

Yes. I'm giving them 5 Stars. I usually don't, reserving it for the very best. Yes they are the best all the way around. Made a reservation and our table was indeed waiting for us as promised. The waitress was up front and honest with us that there was a backlog on the bar so our drink order may be delayed. No problem. In fact it was not that long but we really appreciated our waitresses sensitivity. She was very friendly. Our cocktails were superb. Could not be better. We ordered and shared the seafood tower and the beet salad. Both were so fresh and very satisfying for two. The wait staff was attentive without hovering and the manager keen to know how everything was. With such an overall positive experience why try anyplace else! read more

My friends and I went to the Sea Grille on Saturday night to celebrate my friend's bachelorette! The Sea Grille was absolutely amazing! We had 14 girls and they put us in the front room, which was beAutiful! The setup was a "u" shape so everyone could see everyone!. Our server was amazing - super friendly, really attentive, patient and even offered to take a picture of all of us! The food was amazing! Shoutout to the Sea Grille and our amazing server for our fabulous experience! I'm heading back to Nantucket at the end of July and will definitely be coming back for dinner. Thank you for everything! read more

Not certain why it took me 3 years of living on ACK and 20+ years visiting to have my first dinner with family here this past Saturday (wife has had dinner/lunch with friends on a few occasions)--perhaps it's the "mid island" location with views of the gas station, perhaps the preconceived notion that a "seafood place" that's been around this long can't be worth "serious" dinner attention. That said, walked away VERY satisfied with our meal and service. Tuna special was VERY well presented with balanced, interesting flavors, beet salad was good+ at least, wine list more comprehensive than anticipated and sensibly priced--in short, a very solid experience all around that to boot was "wallet friendly" by Nantucket standards. We will return more regularly no doubt. read more

Great food and service! We had a group of 4 here for our "nice meal of the trip" & it was an excellent choice. The Filet Mignon au Poivre was the best I've had in years, the stuffed shrimp was unbelievable, the salmon was awesome & they had a clam/linguini special that was also a delight. We shared 2 desserts, an icebox tiramisu special & a warm brownie/ice cream/caramel dessert and they were the perfect ending to the meal. Not cheap but almost nothing on Nantucket is, but it was exactly what we were hoping for and very satisfying. read more

Found a new go to restaurant in Nantucket. The food was amazing and the waitstaff was attentive and friendly. Family style restaurant with very large portions. Must try the truffle chips; they were amazing! read more

Overrated. The service is as you would expect in an expensive restaurant - very nice - but the food is meh.

Great place! Old fashioneds are great...awesome bar selection. Beet salad is fantastic. Friendly service. Recommend it for a family night out, or with friends... Prices are very high, but then again, it's Nantucket... read more

Been going to Nantucket for years and somehow never to Sea Grille! Happy to say that we now have a new favorite restaurant to enjoy. All of our meals were delicious and the service is friendly. Great spot. read more

Visited Sea Grille for dinner with friends recently. Everything clicked for me: excellent food, polished service, comfortable environment. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I especially liked the colorful, tasty beet salad and a scrumptious parmesan-crusted swordfish. I'd definitely return if I get to the island again. read more

In terms of atmosphere, this is possibly the best place on the island. The restaurant is huge, well done, comfortable, tons of booths, etc. Just a really inviting place to eat. Unfortunately, the food is downright mediocre. Everything. If you want quality seafood, this is not the place to eat. Apart from the high prices, the fish has always been overcooked and I've never enjoyed anything I've ordered. But I love the atmosphere. If you're coming with a big party or just want to be comfortable while dining, this is a decent choice. Just don't come here for the food. Island Kitchen, Charlie Noble and Dune are better options for fine dining. Pro Tip: If you don't see anything you like off the dinner menu, you can order off the bar menu, which has much more casual choices - burgers, salads, sandwiches. read more

The Sea Grill is a classically inspired Seafood House. Beet Salad w/side of bread, perfect. Cod w/Linguisa and Lobster Mashed Potatoes, perfect. Peach Brûlée, perfect. Service, perfect. Portions, surprisingly generous. Value, outstanding. read more

'6oz filet, 6oz lobster tail' was the description for the surf and turf entree; one of the priciest. What I was served was a 6oz filet, and 2 rubbery half lobster tails, that were maybe 2oz combined, drowned in about 8oz of muck, in a gratin dish, covered with burnt bread crumbs. I asked for the manager, who argued that the description did NOT say 6oz; I checked, so should she, because it did. How a manager doesn't know the menu items is ridiculous, but to argue with me, also unprofessional. Then I asked why there was no description of the aforementioned muck, just '6oz lobster tail'. She said that was just how they did it, like I should have known that. I did get credit off of my bill, but I WILL NOT be going back. One of the above photos, even shows a whole lobster tail, with a filet; in what I believe is the same entree. read more

Best place to eat on the island. Not cheap, but much better food than anywhere else we ate, even more expensive places. Service was very friendly and the waiter spent plenty of time with us explaining each dish. A MUST visit in nantucket. read more

Great food and AWSOME service. Love it here the seafood dishes are very creative and the lobster bisque is a must!!! read more

First of all, I have to give them credit for staying open year-round. Few island establishments operate throughout the off season. I'll certainly second a previous reviewer's post in that the Sea Grille is nothing extraordinary. However, It's a great place for a family dinner and your guaranteed to get good traditional fare. The menu is extensive and there is something on the menu to please every member of your party. They do not have any beer on tap but the bottled selection is adequate. A fellow diner ordered a Margarita, unfortunately it was prepared in a very nontraditional sense and resulted in some disappointment. Two fellow diners ordered rum and cokes and both confirmed that there was hardly any alcohol. Bottom line, stick with beer and wine. The fare was relatively good. A swordfish special arrived with small portions but the cilantro pesto was perfect. I ordered the bouillabaisse and was the envy of the table. It was a dish with a great deal of food and a lobster half as the centerpiece; well worth the cost. The service was excellent, our waitress was very attentive despite a very busy Daffodil Weekend crowd. The Sea Grille can get busy, make a reservation or plan on eating at the bar where there can often be a wait. read more

Love this place !we ate in the bar last week. it was outstanding from oysters to fresh fish everything and the lobster roll there is outstanding the bartender known as Ducey is great as is all the staff read more

Sea Grille - The tuna was great. Wish I had a little more of it! - Seafood Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

We went for the restaurant week special - $45 for an appetizer, entree and dessert. It does exclude lobster and foie gras. For the prices of the food normally, it was a great deal. I got a $40 entree with an appetizer and a dessert. Everything was wonderful. We all got different things and tried each other's, and all of them tasted great. I would make a reservation, especially with a larger party, because even though it's a big restaurant it fills up fast. It's very crowded and loud, especially by the bar, but it's a really nice "classy" atmosphere. Our food did take awhile for each course, but we didn't mind waiting. We were there for about 2 hours altogether. If you're looking for something indulgent, it's worth it. read more

Wow this food is amazing. I will start by saying it is really pricy. It is not for the faint of wallet. Our table started with bluefish pate and lots of conversation. The waiters we interacted with were particularly nice, including one who thanked me back for thanking him. ha! They even gracefully laughed at my dad's awkward jokes. Dad was disappointed that they were out of the nice bread, but that's not the waiter's fault. I absolutely loved my linguisa crusted cod on lobster mashed potatoes. It was sinful, rich, salty, moist, and overall delicious. I would eat this again and again if I could. I didn't leave a single bite on my dish, despite being completely full. When dessert time came, we swore we were just looking at the menu. And yet each of us ordered a dessert. My creme brule was fantastic. I am a creme-brule-aholic and it was really top notch. I also helped out with someone's chocolate cake thing, it was amazing and mouth watering and I actually liked it more than my top notch mouth watering creme-brule. Overall you're going to be out a pretty penny, but it is definitely worth it. We come every time I visit my father, and I will continue to force the tradition! read more

We live on Nantucket during the summer months and go to a number of restaurants. This summer we have visited the restaurant three times and have never been disappointed. Good atmosphere, good service, and great food. They have a diverse menu so all diets can be satisfied. Strongly recommend the Fishermen's 2 lbs lobster at $50. The best on island. Stuffed lobster with ship, scallop, and crab meat. Sides of garlic mashed potatoes and a medley of vegetables. I'm getting hungry writing this review. read more

Food and service were excellent. Extremely disappointed to be told by server at the end of the meal that I could not bring my dessert that I had 2 bites out of, home. Did not argue because who wants to be embarrassed in super WASPY Nantucket. But REALLY? the dessert that I PAID FOR? The manager, owner and chef would rather THROW FOOD AWAY than give me a box? Please explain the rationale for that! doesn't anyone have a conscience about waste anymore? Will never set foot in there again. read more

excellent food each time i've been here! the salmon with pea puree and mushrooms was out of this world, crab cakes are delish and the pork carnitas are a favorite. we ate outside at the front of the restaurant- private seating great for a summer night! definitely an example of great Nantucket dining. read more

Big fan of the bar menu and the (newer) outside bar/patio. Few places have the capability of accommodating so many different customer -- your entire family (with little ones too) for dinner, a business lunch meeting, or a watering-hole-after-work for a proper pint. Also appreciative of the Seagrille for everything they do for this island community as well (insert thumbs up emoji here). read more

I'm embarrassed to think how many times I've driven past this restaurant and never realized a) it was there, and b) how good it is. This is the ace-in-the-hole for family friendly, high quality food on the island. They have four different dinning areas, two bars, and plenty of parking. The seafood was dynamite (tasty and fresh). Not the most intimate or posh decor, but I'll take that any day in exchange for being able to take the kids there and having a dedicated kid's menu. The bars made for good people watching as they seemed to cater to just as many locals as island visitors. The prices are "pricey" but again, between the excellent food and the family friendly environs, I feel I got my money's worth. I had the Grilled Lobster & House Made Fettuccini dish - WOW! And the deserts were terrific. Highly recommend. read more

Consistently one of the best meals I island! Awesome family owned restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere...I LOVE the tuna poke bowl myself- it's amazing. Not to be ignored also are the burger and the linguica crusted cod! Seriously, it's all great!! I will definitely be going back. read more

Amazing restaurant! Tuna or the steak, both were very good with good sized portions. Service was friendly and quick. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice dinner in Nantucket read more

Food is amazing!!!! And if you sit at the bar it's even better. Everyone who works there is so friendly and welcoming you have to go there
