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.

When we finally got our food, after having asked for it twice, it was fine…read more Just fine. The "service" was sub-par at its best. 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

I was craving some sushi and opted to order the poke bowl and I was really glad I did because it was amazing. Fresh tuna over a bed of brown rice and spring mix. It was fully loaded with edamame, cucumber, marinated cherry tomatoes, pickled onions, jalapeños. The bowl was huge and loaded with flavors. By far the best poke bowl I've ever had. We sat at the bar and the bartender was also our server. She was awesome, tentative, friendly, and efficient. Highly recommend this place for the fresh sushi and amazing seafood dishes.

I ordered the Korean short ribs and the sauce smelled so offensive that my wife asked to leave before I could finish 3 short ribs. One water, one alcoholic drink, one order of short rib appetizers, and one order of 4 crab rangoons= $76.00. Do yourself a favor and get 4 bags of chips from the liquor store not far from there. I wanted it to be awesome- it just wasn't. The young lady that served us knew we were not happy, and her service was good. We still tipped her well, the food was not her fault.

In short, we really enjoyed our meal here. However, this place seems to be geared towards take out…read moreor just too busy for the small staff to deal with sit-in diners. We do want to come back, but we will do take-out instead. The longer version: I ordered a butter chicken, naan, and the Dynamite Roll. We placed our orders at the counter and sat down at a table. The restaurant is very hot inside and unfortunately they do not have outdoor seating. We received waters promptly. The wait time for food was a tad long but understandable when you see just how many people are steady coming for take-out and with the phone constantly ringing with new orders. Once the food came, it was pretty good! The sushi roll was fantastic. I would order it again. The other items were not the most amazing Indian food I've ever had but still very enjoyable. It satisfied the craving I was having. My naan did not come until we were almost done after I had to ask for it again. It was abnormal but still fluffy and delicious. We did not get water refills until very late in the meal. Next time I plan to try the korma. Overall, the food is good and for a good price. Our service was subpar so I recommend getting it to-go.

first time in Nantucket first time in this restaurant last time in this restaurant…read more Here's my honest review of this place: Food: The food was decent, but I found it overpriced for what was offered. The menu felt somewhat limited, and overall the value didn't match the pricing. Drinks: My cocktail tasted good, but at $21 I expected more. It also seemed lighter on alcohol than expected, which made the price harder to justify. Atmosphere: The space is small, crowded, and loud. If you're looking for a quiet or romantic dinner where you can comfortably talk with your partner, this may not be the best fit. Service charge: I was surprised by the additional 4% back-of-house fee. I would have preferred to see pricing structured differently rather than adding an extra charge. Overall: I can understand why some snooty people enjoy it, but for me the experience didn't justify the cost.

Siam to Go (located inside the ice rink, behind the school) is probably the best Thai to be found…read moreon the island -- and it isn't even the only Thai place around. :) Lots of pros, a few cons. Pros: - They use a lot of good, fresh vegetables, in their dishes. Fantastic! - They also use a lot of protein in most dishes, i.e. noodle and curried dishes. We found portion sizes of main course dishes to be quite generous. - If you ask for spicy, you get spicy... - Some of the food has a smokiness that might even be authentic wok hai. Even if that good smoky flavor isn't from a sizzling hot wok, its subtlety is quite enjoyable. They don't bonk you over the head with it like some restaurants do. - They even use some fish sauce in some dishes, where appropriate. The food is nowhere near being as gringo as they could get away with being, in a place like Nantucket. - A beef teriyaki appetizer was on the small side for the price, IMHO, but it was tender and delicious, reminding us a lot of the Malaysian meat jerkies we know and love in NYC. Cons: - If you ask for spice level 1, dishes still come fairly spicy -- too spicy for our kids (who are accustomed to eating south Indian food with a bit of heat). Actually, a dish that we asked for at spice level 1 was nearly undifferentiable from one we asked for at level 3... - A chicken satay appetizer was, like the beef teriyaki, on the small side for the price (three small, verrrrry thin-cut pieces), and was fairly bland -- but it was tender. - Like a lot of otherwise good Thai food in the US, including in Boston, a city with excellent Thai food, everything was excessively sweet -- far, far sweeter than would be the norm in Thailand anywhere, and not properly balanced by acid and heat. - Along the lines of criticism as the prior point, the peanut sauce and nam pla were both nasty, industrially-produced syrups, essentially. --- We're lucky enough to have some truly world class Thai restaurants nowadays in NYC, especially of the Isaan persuasion. If this point of reference is helpful: Siam to Go doesn't quite meet that standard of stinky / spicy authenticity, but the Thai-American food it serves is of often-high quality and enjoyable in its own right. It's so great to have this as an option on ACK.
