    Lumache

    We went to The Proprietors for dinner when we were visiting Nantucket. Everything we had was fabulous. The half rack chicken was cooked to tender perfection! Every bite was simply delectable. The farm lettuce was fresh and crisp and had an amazing flavor! The croutons were a special treat! The cold sesame noodles were light and zippy. The Lumache was savory and delicious. Fresh and creative ingredients that were very pleasing to the palate.Plenty of food for the four of us. Our waiter was attentive and very gracious. We had cocktails and mocktails and all were quite delicious. The atmosphere was upscale and enjoyable. We fully enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend.

    We loved this restaurant! Cannot say there was anything we didn't like. We were able to get in fairly easily... the service was great, and the food was delicious! And seriously... the dessert was AMAZING

    An incredible dinning experience- starting with cocktails, ambiance, decor and most importantly the menu. Every dish was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. Our favorite restaurant in Nantucket.

    I LOVED this meal. My sister and brother in law are friendly with the owners and this is their favorite spot to eat out in Nantucket. We got a nice quiet table upstairs and ordered lots of things to share and then we each ordered our own "entree". The menu consists of lots of "little" plates and lots of bigger plates. Obviously my sister had been there before so she took the lead in ordering the best share plates for the table. We tried: Red Lentil Hummus - sounds pretty standard - but the tender pieces of fried bread were drool-worthy, I have been thinking about them for days since. Pretzel parker house rolls served with duck pastrami. This is truly a small portion to share for more than 4 people - so we got 2 orders, the rolls are small (but mighty in taste) - I made myself a teeny duck pastrami sandwich. YUM! The Fried Broccoli - I have also been dreaming about this one for days..I live in San Francisco and I try a lot of amazing restaurants and foods, I have never tried anything quite like this, The broccoli had a very light sort tempura batter - but what stood out was the sambar and peanut component - I literally could have just eaten that for dinner and been happy - this one was indeed a large portion too. The carrots - another stand out - of all the dishes - i think maybe I could come close to replicating it - and I will try! The table also split the white fish salad and the fried green tomatoes with shrimp - but I sis not try those - as I am not a huge fish lover. For an entree I got the special - not listed on the menu - a housemade gnocchi with a lamb ragu with fresh mint and yogurt. Sublime!! - also a huge portion. At this point - why not order dessert? We shared the yogurt cheesecake and a chocolate peanut dessert. They both had so many things going on - I can't really remember - They were both spectacular and I wish I could remember the descriptions. A real treat meal in Nantucket and it was my favorite meal of my trip to the island.

    Proprietors features a lovely, homey (though extremely warm) interior making for an intimate dining experience. Small plates style, the menu is a tad confusing, as each dish is a different portion size and it was difficult to tell what and how many to order. Thankfully, our waitress was very helpful and explained each dish and its size to us with accuracy. Without her, we would have been lost. Every savory dish was excellent and unique. The highlight was perhaps the mushrooms, surprisingly, which had a strong yet pleasant vinegar flavor. The pork neck sauce and dressings were delicious, though it wasn't our favorite cut of meat. They were all good, albeit pricey--like everything else on Nantucket. Really, the only less than good dish was the dessert. All three options sounded delicious, and we watched with jealousy as the chocolate pot de creme and banana bread sundae went to other tables, but I am huge sticky toffee pudding fan, so we had to go with that. The cream cheese ice cream it was served with was AMAZING. Like, to-die-for, wish I could buy it in a pint back home, good. However, the actual sticky toffee pudding was dry and room temperature. We even asked the waitress whether it was invertedly not heated, but she said that was the way it was supposed to be served. Never before had I had a sticky toffee pudding not served warm. She said then the ice cream would melt, but, yes, that's kind of the point? So the dessert, despite the delicious ice cream, was a total miss. I will say, I had read other reviews before coming and was nervous by consistent complaints of poor service and pacing. And I'm not sure if we got lucky or the restaurant took to heart those criticisms and made changes, but our waitress was amazing and attentive and the food came out over a reasonable length of time. So, I don't share those same views.

    LOVED this spot! My friend and I made last minute reservations for one of their outdoor tables. The service was fantastic and friendly. We each had a cocktail with our dinner and split a bunch of items to share. We definitely over ordered but loved everything we had especially the Parker house rolls! The decor is super cute and I highly recommend this spot. The prices were on par or even a bit lower than other comparable spots on the island.

    One of our absolute favorite spots from our trip to Nantucket. We sat by the bar, and the atmosphere was fantastic. My cocktail was complex and delicious -- my mom said it was one of her favorites she had tried in a looong time. We ordered the bluefish pate as a snack and it was great. The service was also really great. Can't speak to the entrees, but the atmosphere, cocktails, and appetizer gives me high hopes. We will definitely be returning next time we are in Nantucket!

    I read the mixed reviews on this place but I love Gastro Pub food so we made a reservation. The inside had dark pub vibes and was a nice atmosphere for a date night. This place is definitely $$$$$. If you are looking to spend $10000 on a bottle of wine (yes, I added the correct amount of 0s there) then this is the place for you. They had quite an extensive wine list. We had the Crispy Thai Broccoli, the sweet potatoes and the shrimp with a few cocktails. I did feel like my meal wasn't paced out very well, it seems like they really try to rush you through the meal and almost all our food was on the table before we could finish half a cocktail. I don't know if I would come back to this place again solely because it felt overpriced for a date night but the food was very good and I'm glad we went once.

    I seldom write bad or negative reviews, so this one flummoxed me a bit…read more The appetizer was this wonderful cold mussel dish, with spices and a light oil. 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. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

    Club Car Nantucket is an absolute 5-star go-to me. It's such a unique, lively vibe in the historic…read moretrain-car setting, with that classic Nantucket energy that feels special whether you're popping in for lunch or settling in for a full night out. The service is always on point (Bridget always takes care of us--she's genuinely so nice), and the food never misses: the lobster Cobb salad is fresh, loaded, and perfectly balanced, and the croque madame is pure comfort (savory, cheesy, and even better with the egg). And don't sleep on dinner, Club Car turns it up even more, and their steak frites is the best!
