Reviews for The Summer House Restaurant in Nantucket, MA
Went there for a romantic birthday dinner, having gone there over the years. Nice room, they did a good job repairing it. Really... noisy with lots of loud talkers and a kid playing videos, with sound, right next to us. Felt like I was at Denny’s. Asked tomove and they did. Food was good, service was good. Ordered a sole special, a piece of fish with some spinach, and was quitesurprised to learn on paying that it cost $85. Spoke to the waiter about it and he told us that Dover sole is very special andexpensive. That’s great, but verbally pitching an entree that is twice the price of most entrees and not mentioning the priceis at best deceptive. I will not go back, there are way too many other great restaurants on Nantucket. Read more
The view is an A+ but the menu is limited relatively speaking but you are paying for the ambiance. There is a nice area to sit... outside with perfect ocean views. The food was good overall albeit straight forward - Drinks were actually very good andsurprised us as we didn’t expect it Read more
Amazing restaurant! Beautiful location in a calm setting, great waitstaff and even better food! Would definitely reccomend... coming out to siasconset for this gem! Read more
Great family place with a bar scene for adults. Outdoor seating was nice, quiet with a lovely view of the property and garden.... Indoor seemed like more of a party scene with louder music but there seems to be a good balance between both. The food was allvery good. Strip steak cooked to a perfect medium rare. Linguine was a little on the salty side but still pretty good. Clamchowder and arugula & watermelon salad was a great starter. Service was great. One of the better meals we’ve had on theisland.

Beautiful beach out in front of restaurant…classic Nantucket. However, the food was mediocre at best. Many other restaurant... choices. Go for a cocktail and ambience. We did enjoy the deer walking through the dunes. Read more
Awful experience. The host was nice, he informed us the table wasn’t ready yet and we were invited to grab a drink. As we... waited for our table and tried to order a drink….the bartender was rude and ignored us. I had to loudly request a drink menuand after he took his time and enjoyed a shot with a couple of people seated, he proceeded to take our order. He made me awatered down margarita, that was obviously clear in color and continued to be blatantly rude to myself and friends. We tried todismiss his behavior and proceeded to our table, where we sat and waited for over 10 minutes with no server in sight. Due tothis and the bartenders attitude and lack of remorse, we decided to leave the restaurant. Honestly the worst experience I’veever had and I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. Read more
Had a very poor experience here. We rented a car and drove out to Sconset specifically to have a drink and eat here. We went... down to the poolside patio and bar. Seated right away and the waiter took our order. The cocktail was below average. We orderedthe Mussels off the entree section. I had 4 mussels and couldn’t stomach anymore. They were terrible. Dried up, small, and hadan extremely fishy smell and flavor. Some of the mussels were stuck to both sides of the shell. I cannot believe they charge $26dollars for some of the worst mussels I have ever had. We called the waiter over and told him the mussels were bad. He just tookthem away without much apology. I didn’t want to risk them making it again so I asked the mussels be taken off my bill. Wequickly paid the bill and left. This place is extremely overpriced even for Nantucket. Even worse is the apathy of the peoplewho work there. 2 stars for the food, 1 star for the service. Read more
This was our second time here, worth the ride. Happy to see they are back and better than ever. Need to come back for the beach... area. One of the best filets we have ever tasted. Swordfish was amazing as well. Read more
