    The food was outstanding especially the rock fish special. So many excellent choices at this restaurant. Happy Hour offers a 20% discount on drinks and some appetizers. The service was okay but a bit spotty at times as items weren’t served at the correct time. Nevertheless, this is an outstanding restaurant for fine dining with tastes so great!

    Arrived and seated promptly for our reservation. Our server Matthew was engaging and energetic. Service was a little slow because the place was packed. My wife had the rockfish and she said it was delicious. I had crab cakes with red potatoes and asparagus. Asparagus was prepared perfectly and crab cakes were meaty with little filler. I finished with a triple berry sorbet which was different but good.

    We went here to celebrate my husband’s birthday. From the moment we were greeted to the moment we left, kind and gracious staff. Our server Luke was fantastic. Our drinks were delicious. Our food was hot when served and his steak was cooked to perfection. My husband raved about the Delaware Crab Soup - very similar to MD crab soup but without the taxes. My filet was soooo good. I was expecting a bill much higher than actually was (we were there before happy hour ended though and our drinks were 20% off). Overall, very happy with our first visit to Nantucket’s and we will return.

    There is a great variety on the menu and the offerings are consistently well executed. The entire staff are friendly and exceedingly efficient. While the dining area is always busy the ambience is classy and soothing. The price for a fine dining level meal is very modest and I would unhesitatingly recommend Nantuckets.

    Exceptional service and food. It was a pleasure to be there. They were very crowded and it was so well groomed. After enjoying a splendid meal, I know why they were so crowded. I had been to the Lobster Shanty quite a bit and they are owned by the same family. Great places to eat!!!
