    Thank you Thank you Thank you Chef for making me something special. The veggies were so tasty. They were not over powered by oil or spices. I could taste the asparagus on top of the roasted corn, fresh green beans and quartered tomatoes. Our waiter was attentive and nice. If he didn't know the answer he found out. Thank you again.

    Had brunch here on a Saturday in September on my first visit to Nantucket. I really really enjoyed the place. The Bloody Mary with bacon was a pleasant surprise. Had a better bloody elsewhere in town, but was still good for sure. Endless Summer Toast was perfection for early September: peaches, basil, ricotta, and honey on baguette. I have been making this at home but not as well as they did with wonderfully perfect peaches. Truffle fried were good but not amazing. Had something else too that was good but can't remember (I promise it was was good, just wasn't as different as the toast so I forgot. Sorry!) Very easy location with covered outdoor seating. Definitely worth your brunch time

    This is going to sound shallow (and really that doesn't bother me too much), but they have a lot of attractive and attentive servers at this place. Yea... Shallow. Anyway, this is a spot that could easily become my winter brunch spot. Great service and delicious food. Got some pork tacos with a side of yummy rice. Wanted a Sam Adams Octoberfest, but they were out. Tried something called Omission. Can't say it was the best beer I've ever had, but it wasn't awful. I usually only review after I've gone for a second visit, but with 8 weeks left and a crazy work schedule, I wanted to get the review done. With such cute servers, I'll try to make a concerted effort though!
