Wauwinet Lady water taxi

Such a fun activity while on Nantucket! Take the boat over to Topper's from White Elephant for incredible views before and after your meal. We had reservations on the patio during a beautiful day and it couldn't have been better. Our meals were both delicious and our server, AJ, was prompt and polite.

The food is incredible, the the staff is fantastic. The maître D is the most genuine and attentive host with true hospitality. It was an absolute pleasure to be there, I don't think I've ever had a better experience at a restaurant ever. The ambience is exquisite it exudes class

Highly recommend eating at toppers, especially if you're staying at the Wauwinet. The room service meal was just as great as the one I had when I ate at the restaurant. The staff is amazing as well!

Topper's was lovely. We dined right after sunset on the deck. The views were spectacular. We ordered Nantucket oysters, burger, and the halibut. The oysters were allegedly caught in the waters outside the hotel (which I believed, because they were very small). But still good nonetheless. The halibut and the burger were great. Our waitress was very nice. For island prices, on the deck, it was more upscale but not unreasonable.. We had a great time, would recommend.

Always an amazing experience. There is a boat 'shuttle' that if you can make a reservation for, takes you from the White Elephant in town out to the Wauwinet. This is an absolutely amazing experience. Lunch and a boat ride across the sound? Absolutely yes. We had reservations for the boat ride, but unfortunately the weather was not cooperating so we let Toppers know we would just be driving out. The attentive hostesses and patient waiter were so fabulous during our lunch. Halfway through there was a bit of a sprinkle so the hostess immediately came over to offer us a seat inside. We declined since the rain didn't feel like it would last and the umbrellas were shielding us nicely. I wish I had gotten more pictures of the food, because while it is not cheap, it is absolutely worth it. The tarte flambé was the perfect combo of cheese and flavor. The lobster roll was stuffed full of lobster and enough for two meals. Very much of note: Toppers had a good selection of zero proof alcohols so they can make any of their cocktails non-alcoholic which was amazing. Definitely put this on your hot spot for your next Nantucket visit.

Came here for lunch as I wanted to see what Toppers was all about since its touted as one of the best restaurants on the island. It's a trek (~20 minutes?) from main part of the island if you're not taking a boat from the White Elephant. As expected, the prices are high. My sandwich was $35, didn't come with fries, and my glass of wine was $25. Sat out on the deck, which was still enclosed since its not quite summer yet. If you were expecting to have waterfront views, you won't get any from their deck or patio as the restaurant is tucked away on the side and the waterfront is reserved for hotel guests ability to sunbathe on a little crest that is elevated higher than the restaurant. Disappointing. Read about service complaints, but my server was on point. Extremely timely on everything, but the patio only had about 4 tables. The meal started with some "free" bread. One was a cheese bread and the other a sweeter bread with raisins. The provided butter was great on the raisin bread. Well churned and soft. I ended up trying the most interesting thing on the menu, the Halibut Katsu sandwich. It is supposedly new for 2024. It came with egg salad, slaw and a jalapeno-yuzu tartar sauce. TBH, it was rather flavorless. I liked the mouthful and texture of the halibut. Expert crisp. That was done well, but the combination either needed more yuzu sauce. Perhaps try recreating some sort of tonkatu sauce to go with it instead. I ended up dressing it up with some fry sauce. Disappointing for the price. It came with a little mini salad. The fries were expertly cooked, so no complaints with those and the server did a fine job suggesting the wine to go with the halibut. Overall, great service, but this was probably the least memorable and flavorless meal I had the whole trip. Unfortunate.

How is this a Billionaire's Bar?!?
Sara Z.

We were staying at the Wauwinet and wanted dessert after dinner elsewhere. We came a little on the late side but were seated outside under a heat lamp. We ordered the billionaire's bar and the baklava cheesecake. I'm all for pastry chefs having creative license to make unique desserts, but the menu needs to accurate describe those unique desserts. The billionaire's bar was described as a shortbread layer with chocolate and caramel layers, but it was not that AT ALL. There was 0 chocolate, 0 shortbread, and the only caramel was on the ice cream. The dessert was bar-shaped, but it was coated in a clear shell and the bottom tasted almost like white chocolate, so not at all what we expected. The ice cream was rich and tasty but didn't really taste good with the "bar." The baklava cheesecake was very well executed and well made, but the flavors didn't really go together. The baklava is a little too crunchy and the orange-rose syrup was a little too sweet with the tangy cheesecake for my taste. I also found that it was expensive for just dessert, especially ones that were not great.

Nantucket Oysters*
Lipi R.

This place is so cute. It's located in this very cute inn/hotel. A very lively crowd a lot seemed to be happening. More than the food, this place has the most stunning views and incredible view of the sunset. If anything, come here for a drink, and watch the sunset. We did end up staying for dinner also. We got oysters and the special which was a lobster pasta. Both were very good and extremely fresh. I polished off the lobster pasta, it was rich but you could tell all the seafood was really local and super fresh. It's quite the experience, so if you're around this part of Nantucket, I would recommend going to least see the views.

Endive salad with lobster.
Rick J.

Amazing food. Perfect service. So quiet and relaxed. We love to eat here and the unwind out on the great lawn. Highly recommend

Breakfast Sandwich
Nanci P.

Highly recommended and worth the trip! The restaurant was fully booked for lunch and dinner so we opted for breakfast. The property is absolutely gorgeous. Perfectly manicured property in a seclude private part of the island with a boat that takes you into town. The food was top notch even though it was just breakfast. After your meal, take a walk to the dock/beach.

Lobster Benedict
Misty G.

We enjoyed a 4 day stay at The Wauwinet so we had several meals at Topper's which is located in the boutique hotel. The views, decor, ambiance, and service were all 5 stars! We had breakfast all 4 mornings, room service for dinner once, and dinner on the deck once. All of the breakfast options were very delicious! We enjoyed the Lobster Benedict that was on as a special, the 2 egg breakfast, breakfast sandwich, and cinnamon roll French toast. Their coffee is some of the best we have had while traveling! The deck dinner was also very good as we had the Tart Flambee, Yellowfin Tuna, Lobster Roll, and the grilled Halibut special. The gruyere tart was our favorite. The crust was flaky yet crisp with caramelized onions, mushrooms, and bacon. All were very tasty, with great technique and seasoning. The room service we ordered was the Lobster pasta, lobster crab cakes, and old bay fries. The crab cakes and fries were very good but the pasta was under seasoned and dry-needed more sauce. I was highly impressed with the quickness of our meals being prepared in the dining room and room service was very prompt. All of the staff were so lovely and you feel promptly taken care of without them being overly intrusive. There is plenty of parking. There is also a boat shuttle service. Reservations recommended. They are seasonal so check to verify their opening and closing dates. Even if you aren't a guest of the hotel you should definitely go for a meal and highly recommend you enjoy the ocean front lawn at sunset!

A classic stop for us, there's a beautiful sunset view from the lawn and the food is delicious!

How do I make a reservation for toppers deck outside?

I sure just like any other restaurant: you could call Toppers and ask to make a reservation outside, or go in person and ask when they are available.

First of all, I am disappointed in myself that I did not know that this place was open. On the…read moreother hand, I am thankful I did not know about it until recently because I would be here all of the time and it would become a problem. Their breakfast was SO good. Home fries need to be spectacular to impress me, and these were truly out of this world. I could eat them every day! I have no complaints about anything on my plate. The scrambled eggs were perfectly prepared (I asked for them well-done) and of course the home fries were the star of the show. My latte was also very good, and these mug it was served in was so cute. I tried a bite of my friend's chocolate chip waffle, which was recommended to us by a coworker who said it was the best on the island. I can't say I have tried any other waffles on the island, but this one was quite delicious and it would be difficult to top it. Even though it was busy late on Saturday morning, my party of two was seated right away. Sure, you're sitting close to the people next to you, but I do not mind. The place is well-decorated and has a pleasantly clean vibe about it. I am looking forward to trying dinner here as well in the near future!

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!
