Company of the Cauldron
I couldn't write a better description of Company of the Cauldron than Malcom A. Willson of Cape Cod Times. "This little Nantucket restaurant has charm written all over it -- from its dark red, ivy-framed, single-story front, pierced by small-paned windows, to its darkly handsome, romantic-as-a-novel interior. The inside's post-and-beam and rough plaster construction seems…
View Restaurant Details >Galley Beach
Galley Beach is our final night tradition during our stay on the island. It is the best combination of food, ambiance and service on the island. What makes it particularly fun is that everyone seems to know everyone, or you do by the time dinner is over. One night Stiller and Meara sat at one…
View Restaurant Details >Le Languedoc Bistro
We never miss Le Languedoc Bistro when we are on the island. Eating at the downstairs bar is like coming home to friends. Give me steak frites and a good bottle of red and my trip is complete. There are a number of dining choices here; outside on the terrace, downstairs in the intimate cafe…

View Restaurant Details >Queequeg’s
It's easy to miss Queequeg's as you walk around town as it is tucked away on a small street, but not if you talk to the local's. It's one of the favorites, both for great food and reasonable prices. Inside, the small, intimate dining room is cozy and comfortable and decorated with faux finished rust…

Straight Wharf is one of the most romantic restaurants on the island and when coupled with its wonderful food, it's the perfect "special occasion" restaurant.

View Restaurant Details >The Boarding House
When I want an excellent meal, but something a little less formal, I head to the Boarding House. You have three choices on where to eat; in the romantic candlelit wine cellar, on the patio or at the lively bar. Weather permitting, I like to eat outside and do a little people watching. This is…
