One of the most appalling and blatantly racist experiences I've ever witnessed happened at The Fish…read moreHouse near the Martha's Vineyard airport. A friend of mine, who has a severe dairy allergy, clearly and calmly told the woman at the counter "no cheese." Not a preference--an allergy. When the sandwich came out covered in cheese, she politely explained the issue. Instead of correcting it, the staff questioned her repeatedly--asking over a dozen times if she was sure she said no cheese--and threatened to make her pay again if it was her mistake. Eventually, the manager agreed to remake the sandwich. But when it was brought back, the woman slammed it on the table and said, "Here's your sandwich. Don't ever come back, n**r." I was stunned. All we wanted was a meal made safely--something that wouldn't send my friend to the ER--and instead we were met with open hostility and a violent racial slur. This wasn't just poor customer service. It was aggressive, discriminatory, and outright dangerous. No one should be treated this way. I'll never return, and I strongly urge others to consider whether this is the kind of business they want to support.

The restaurant is quite busy and can be cramped, but it has a great view because it's right along the water. With how busy it was, I was surprised that the staff were so friendly and attentive. The oysters were amazing. We ordered the fisherman's platter which included onion rings, fries, fried haddock, fried clams, fried shrimp, fried scallops, and coleslaw. Every single item was delicious. I was expecting to not like at least one of them, but they were all so good! The batter was perfect, well seasoned and so crispy. I still think about this platter all the time.

I finally got a chance to dine there with a friend during my most recent visit in late May and I was really delighted. The service was friendly and our waitress gave helpful recommendations on the menu but the food delivery was on the slower side. For dinner we shared the sweet potato rolls, smokes cauliflower, bolognese and the halibut. Favorite dish was far and away the smoked cauliflower. It was absolutely outstanding. The flavors and textures were perfection. The halibut and the pasta were also both great. Cannot wait to come back and try their other veggie dishes, mushroom ragu and pork chop which also looked very tempting.

On this episode of eating my way through Martha's Vineyard, we stopped at Square Rigger, one of the…read moreisland's well-known staples. All I wanted that day was some fried shrimp and clam strips -- and for me, the strips are key because they skip the extra parts you get with whole clams. Unfortunately, they were out of clam strips, so we went with fried shrimp, fries, and lobster bisque. Since I had to share with my wife, I asked for extra shrimp -- but heads up, it's $3 per shrimp. Not complaining, just letting you know. The lobster bisque came out hot and creamy, but I was hoping for a bit more depth of flavor and a little more lobster meat and a little less bisque. The shrimp were tasty and fried well, but personally, I prefer mine butterflied for that extra texture and presentation. What stood out most, though, was the service. Friendly, quick, and attentive, which matters a lot when you're trying a local favorite. Overall, Square Rigger delivers a solid experience, but I left wishing for just a little more -- especially when you're at a place with that kind of reputation. Verdict: Good shrimp, great service, but I'll be back hoping for those clam strips next time.

My family and I live in Arizona. When we called to make a reservation. We called at…read more5pm(AZ)/8pm(EST) on Friday several weeks before our visit. A member of the family had requested this location for her birthday dinner. The person who answered the phone "Idk. It's Friday night. I don't have time for this. It's busy." This should have been our first red flag. A separate conversation and call at another time, the GM asked over the phone if we'd like a cake or something special brought in. Very thoughtful. "Yeah we'd love that! Thank you!" When we arrived at our reservation time, the table had to be rearranged while the party waited. Our party was 8 people. When we inquired about the cake, no one present had any idea what we were talking about. They kindly offered to put a sampler dish together which we accepted but all other food and drink took so long, we cancelled it because we just wanted ultimately just wanted to leave. This is a steak house. A few people at the table ordered steaks with a medium center. Plates were brought out and we were advised the steaks had a medium. Every single steak was completely grey inside(well done). There was not a spot of pink inside. We didn't ask for a replacement steak, we just let them know so they would be aware for future steaks and someone else's future steak! We didn't bother asking for the replacement steak because it already took incredibly long for us to get our food and we were hungry. The waitress never apologized. She didn't look like she wanted to be there and was awkwardly hovering between the 2 tables they had filled. Two new steaks were brought out which we thought was nice but it was also suspiciously fast considering our previous long wait. We cut into the new steaks, almost completely raw. There was a man that poured water for us when we sat. He was the only one that looked like he enjoyed working there and showed any real customer service. The menu says 8oz sirloin and instead you get a 10oz New York strip. A larger piece sounds good but it's not what we asked for when we were ordering our food. If you're going to serve a different cut and size, why would you not change your menu? Or at least let customers know when ordering. Drinks were HEAVY. Can't complain about the quality of liquor. The drinks would be put on the table and take almost 10 minutes to get the next drink. The bartender was kind a remixed one of our drinks when we asked to sweeten it. Just wish drinks came out faster. The other food was great! We had pastas, salmon, vegetables, and mashed potatoes. They were very tasty. If the service, and steaks were better, this place would be recommended as it had beautiful flavor. The steak would have been perfect too if they knew how to cook it!
