Every dish that came out was packed with flavor, super fresh, and really creative - the kind of food that makes you want to order "one more" just to see what else they can do. Cocktails are just as impressive and pair perfectly with the food. Service was spot on - friendly, knowledgeable, and great with recommendations without ever feeling pushy. It's the perfect spot for a special night out on island, whether it's a date, a celebration, or just treating yourself. Definitely a must-visit in Nantucket.

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.

I ordered the Faraway Mermaid (tequila, lime and jalapeño) and it was delicious. The menu consisted of unique options for food, but I had plans to eat elsewhere.

My favorites were the little gem salad (everything just worked so well together and I loved the cubed cheese croutons) and the lumache pasta. The Parker roll with caviar was pretty good but sad we had to share. The fried broccoli was fine. The steak came overcooked - we asked for medium rare but it came out medium - still not bad though. I will say it wasn't super comfortable inside. The chairs and booths were uncomfortable and tables were very cramped so although the food was good, we were sort of itching to finish and leave. The restaurant looks like it used to be a house, which seems to be the theme around here. Overall, definitely one of the better spots to eat on the island!

Just a nice, artisan dish akin to something you'd get in New Bedford or Fall River. Fantastic. 5-Stars. Now their lobster roll. Imagine a hot dog, OK, and now imagine one of those little Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage links for size comparison. The volume of finely shredded lobster meat, that was also warm in that hot dog roll was smaller than the Jimmy Dean link. 0-Stars. My recommendations for a "good" lobster roll is to go anywhere else on island. I'd recommend Sayle's Seafood, The Nantucket Lobster Trap or Stubby's. In fact, I'd just stay clear of the Club Car altogether, it is one of those places for the self-focused New York / Miami new [vulgar] money jet-set that treat the island like their play-thing... you know, you see their empty beer cans in the morning around town.

Dishes were very expensive and not well prepared in basic ways. We ordered several dishes: * steak frites - steak was overcooked. *linguine with clams - clams were great.

Hopefully they can improve as they gain more experience.
