Service was not good. And food wasn't either. There was a special of filet mignon. It was not tender and it was dry which is unusual for filet, plus it was not medium rare which I requested. I don't know what was wrong but I hope it will be corrected

I took my Mom for her birthday and it was the perfect ambiance, meal, and service. I have no complaints. Our waitress was lovely and helpful as was the whole staff. We started with the Brussels sprouts, which were good (could have been cooked a little longer). Mom had the Veal and I have the IK steak with fries instead of mashed potatoes. SO SO SO GOOD! The steak was tender and sides and sauces delicious. We only had water, so everything together with tip was a little over $100.00. Not bad for Nantucket! I love this place and love going!

Several of us had the veal and thought it was amazing! Halibut was also great! Service was fantastic. We took two young children, which was fine for the porch but would not recommend inside.
