    This is a fantastic place to grab a drink! The cocktails are very fresh and inventive and the bartenders are extremely friendly. We weren't able to grab any food this time but we look forward to come back to try the food. It's a little small so I would recommend reserving a table otherwise they might be booked up on the busier days/times.

    Amazing customer service Food 12/10 Will definitely be back Drinks were amazing Cozy atmosphere

    Food was incredible. I quite literally scraped the whipped feta out of the bowl with a spoon when we ran out of dippers for it. THAT good. I will say It's a little cramped inside, we could hear everything the people next to us were talking about. But even the lightning was great and the music. Service was also fantastic. The limoncello shots were on the house! If I ever get to come back to MV, I'll be coming back here 100%.

    This little spot in the bluffs is amazing and surprisingly great. It doesn't look like a spot that delivers on excellent fair but it is. Some of the most amazing drinks ever. The it ain't easy being greedy was decked out with half the glass covered in a green colored sugar coating. Looks like a drink in after 5 attire. The tequila honey dew and other flavors blend together perfectly a the new riff who dis is like a daiquiri but only in name. It is so flavorful. It is amazing flavor and the ice is stylish w a pineapple imprint and an aloe leaf. Service was excellent with owner and manager were working the floor. This is a must and book early and get reservations to get in. The secret's out!

    We visited The Pawnee House last fall, and it was awesome! We started off with some cocktails. We ordered Highland Sling and Sour Monkey. They were strong and had a great flavor. Off to a great start! We ordered Charred Shishito Peppers with Chipotle Aioli to share. It was a nice portion, great for sharing! This dish went great with the cocktails. Really enjoyed the aioli, too. For the main, we ordered Salmon Wellington and Chicken Pot Pie. The presentation was great, and everything was simply perfect. We totally LOVED these dishes! We ordered just one more drink, called The Jaime. Love the pineapple flavor, so tasty! After the dinner, we ordered the French Press, and that had about 4 cups and a half of coffee. For dessert, we chose Southern Strawberry Shortcake. It was incredible! If you are a fan of strawberry shortcake, you really want to try this one! We had an AMAZING dinner here. The staff (possibly one of the owners?) was super friendly, welcoming, and warm. We enjoyed everything! I still dream about the food and dessert (and cocktails too!). I would definitely go back again for more the next time we go to Martha's Vineyard!

    Best vegan chocolate cake and overall one of our favorite Martha's Vineyard restaurants. Good vegan options and non-vegan options for our group. Enjoyed our dinner and the cute ambience. Service was great, vegan chocolate cake even greater; probably the BEST we've ever had. Make sure you make a reservation as they strictly adhere to it, or at least they were the day we went. We had reservations and arrived early but were turned away and encouraged to return at our reserved time. While dining we saw them do the same to others even though there seemed to be tables but in either case; they've got a system and they like to follow it...no harm done.

    The Pawnee house has a cute vibe. It is not too hot inside like some restaurants on the island. If you are vegan or gluten free I would recommend coming here, they have a lot of options for that type of food. Everything is pretty light and vegetable heavy so keep that in mind. Service was good, everything came out pretty efficiently. There is also a bar area for drinks.

    Wonderful! Attentive staff--they were really interested in the customers having a good experience. Many inspired vegetarian and vegan choices and delicious non-vegetarian choices. I had the vegan pot pie. The broth and crust were phenomenal. My dining partner had the souvlaki which was also delicious. Everything was well seasoned, cooked to perfection (tender root vegetables in the pot pie without being overcooked), and ingredients were top quality. Reasonable prices for MV and especially for the quality. May go back again before leaving. This will become part of the regular rotation.

    How I have not yet written a review for our favorite restaurant on MV? The owners of the Pawnee put their heart and soul into every aspect of their restaurant and it shows in the atmosphere, service, and most importantly, the food! With vegan and vegetarian offerings, everyone can find something delicious here. I've tried almost every dish but find myself going back for the Chicken Pot Pie. It never disappoints! If you haven't been to the Pawnee House yet, you're missing out. When you do go, get reservations because this place is popular and rightfully so! Pictures include the chicken pot pie, salmon wellington, beet stack, 'crab' cake, and brunch dishes.

    Outside tables available.

I said the best flank steak I ever had was here at Sharky's. When I complimented the staff she sent the owner over and he gave me the recipe. What a pleasant memory!

    *sigh* I really wanted to enjoy this place, but apparently I wasn't quite booth-worthy…read more When we first walked in, there were two open tables available. We were told one was being held for a party of four, so no problem - we grabbed seats at the bar and waited. A little later, a booth opened up. Exciting! I went over to grab it and was informed that the booth was reserved for parties of four only. Imagine my surprise when approximately 97 seconds later (not that anyone was counting) two people were seated there. At that point, we were assigned what I can only assume is the restaurant's premium seating package: a table directly in front of the front door. This exclusive experience included a refreshing blast of wind every time someone entered or exited, dogs wandering through the dining area, constant foot traffic inches away from the table, and the occasional chair being carried over our heads for added entertainment. Truly immersive. The food was fine, but it's difficult to fully enjoy a meal when you're left wondering what qualifications are required to sit in a booth. Maybe it's age. Maybe it's attire. Maybe there's a secret booth rewards program. I'll never know. To make things even more memorable, there was also a convenient 6% surprise added to the bill at the end. Thankfully, I had dinner at Bettini the night before, where we were treated like valued guests regardless of age, appearance, or booth eligibility status. It was a nice reminder that hospitality still exists on the island. Wishing the staff the best this summer. If you're hoping for a booth, I'd recommend arriving in a tuxedo, carrying a briefcase, and bringing at least two imaginary friends to ensure your party qualifies. Save yourself the headache. Actually, save yourself the migraine and go somewhere else.

Thanks to yelp, I stumbled upon the shuck shack... easy to mix so check out the photos! This place has a true New England feel, with great views for people watching and beautiful scenery of the water and boats. The environment is very lively and they have a selection of raw and cooked seafood. I took a seat at the few stools at the bar, ordered a drink, clams, and shrimp. The shrimp were large and delicious! I also liked option to order half or full dozen. The clams, to my surprise, were shucked right in front of me.. great touch but word of advice.. don't make my mistake. There is a RAW section and COOKED section on menu and yes to my surprise, I accidentally ordered calms from the raw menu.. never knew raw clams were a thing ::cringe:: and after one try- definitely not a win for me. However! This place is a must, a true Vineyard experience with friendly servers and great views!!

The clams I had were steamed to perfection and the shrimp cocktail had huge shrimp in them. Their prices overall are very, very reasonable. But what makes it so special is the atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and competent. The view is unbeatable considering you are 10 feet from the harbor and have a perfect spot to watch the boats coming and going. A great value for your money.
