Town
Straight Wharf Restaurant — Downtown
Classic Nantucket waterfront restaurant with a strong seafood focus.
Cru — Straight Wharf
Waterfront oysters, raw bar, seafood and cocktails. Great harbor atmosphere, though very Hamptons-like.
The Proprietors Bar & Table — Downtown
Creative, contemporary food with shareable plates and a strong cocktail program, in an old schoolhouse.
Oran Mor — Downtown
Small, intimate New American restaurant in a historic house. Great for a date night.
Ventuno — Downtown
Upscale Italian with excellent pasta and seafood. By far the best restaurant on Nantucket.
Lola 41 — Downtown
Sushi, Asian and international cuisine. Lively, and more of a see-and-be-seen atmosphere.
The Nautilus — Downtown
Small plates, seafood, Asian-inspired food and cocktails; energetic and fun.
Le Languedoc Bistro — Downtown
Classic French food and a longtime Nantucket institution.
The Pearl — Downtown
Upscale, energetic seafood and an Asian-influenced menu with a great bar scene.
The Club Car — Downtown
A cool train-car bar with a sing-along piano player. Can be hideously hilarious.
Billie's — Downtown
Modern Nantucket steakhouse with prime meats, oysters, cocktails and a sophisticated atmosphere.
Galley Beach — Cliff
Oceanfront dining directly on the beach—particularly good for sunset. Very expensive, but you will likely meet a celebrity.
