    Having been to Black Eyed Susans many times for breakfast - I was surprised to see they offered dinner. I truly thought it was a breakfast joint. After looking at a the menu for Stroll - I decided I wanted to go. What a hidden gem. Best kept secret on the island for sure!! Food was FANTASTIC. Service was Fantastic. The Atmosphere was Fantastic! Overall experience was amazing. Like I said - best kept secret on the Island. Look forward to going back in the summer!!

    Fun casual small restaurant with a community feel. The kale salad, salmon and capallini pasta were excellent.

    Todd and Steel are creating so many creative and sumptuous options it is a real special dining experience…especially in this fall season. There is limited seating so make your Stroll reservations now so you do not miss out on this Nantucket gem!
