We highly recommend making dinner reservations 30 days in advance for the restaurants that accept them as it’s a very busy weekend on island.

BREAKFAST:

Our favorite in town options are Black-Eyed Susan's and Lemon Press. Downyflake is also famous for their donuts.

LUNCH:

Provisions ($)- Casual and quick sandwiches/salads in town

Cru ($$$)- Rated #1 Lobster Roll in Nantucket by Caroline and Mitchener with prime location overlooking the harbor

The Sandbar at Jetties ($$)- Casual beach bar with full raw bar, burgers and more. We love spending an afternoon on Jetties Beach and then posting up here for a late lunch.

Brant Point Grill ($$$)- Waterfront restaurant at the iconic White Elephant Hotel (walking distance from town)

The Tavern ($$) - Casual lunch/dinner spot in town. The Gazebo next door is our favorite drink spot.

DINNER:

Galley Beach ($$$$)- Our favorite restaurant with fine dining right on the beach. It is closed for private events on Friday and Saturday of our weekend, but highly recommend any one on the island longer to make a reservation.

Lola 41 ($$$)- Lively sushi and burger spot in town that takes only same day reservations. Call right at 4PM to try and book a table for that night or recommend visiting in-person to put your name on the list.

Cru ($$$)- See above. Reservations for our weekend will become available in August.

Brant Point Grill ($$$)- See above. Reservations for our weekend are available via Open Table currently.

Ventuno ($$$)- Best Italian food on the island. Reservations are available online one month in advance.

The Nautilus ($$)- Dinner-only spot in town that takes same-day reservations.

The Club Car ($$$)- Housed in a club car from the original Nantucket Railroad, Club Car is a fun spot in town for cocktails and delicious small plates. Bonus- It turns into a piano bar at night!
