We had been there last october with a large group of people (and kids) to celebrate the birthday of a friend. At first we were afraid because normally a lunch for a large number of people is often complicated with all orders, drinks, children ... To our surprise we were very well attended, all requests arrived at the same time... More

My husband and I ate at the Seafood Shanty in October, 2012. We had a delicious lunch. The place wasn't crowded since it was the end of the season. We ate there on Thursday, October 11th and they were closing for the season on the 14th. The weather was beautiful and we ate outside on the upper deck, and watched... More

The Restaurant looks lovely from the outside, full of Marthas Vineyard charm overlooking the harbour-a perfect spot for lunch. Our party of four walked in, and what appeared to be a 12 year old girl behind the desk completely ignored us, and continued to read her book. When I said "Excuse me, could we have a table for four?" it... More

Went for dinner and while the restaurant was quiet due to the time in the season and it was about to close the next weekend, the staff,quality of the food and overall experience was excellent. We also had the fun to watch the arrival and mooring of a super cruiser to the dock outside the restaurant so had the pleasure... More

Walked in for lunch with a group of about 10. We were seated right away and received top-notch service! I ate the Cod, and man, was it good!!! I must admit that I embarrased myself by asking for a diet Coke "to go". I quickly learned that this restaurant does not offer "to go" soft drinks! LoL We were able... More

The restaurant is right on the water. I got their lobster roll which was pretty good - made in the classic style (mayo and celery in a giant bun.) It's a great place for lunch, dinner, and just to grab a drink and relax in the evening. This is a good place to eat where the food will be good... More

Walked into here and asked for a table....the girl behind the desk struggled to look up from her book as she waved us upstairs with a rude and abrupt gesture. Upstairs the waitress threw menus and cutlery at us as we sat down - no offer of drinks or a kind welcome. That was enough for us and we walked... More

Entered the restaurant to be met at the reception by a girl who could barely be bothered to lift her eyes from the book she was reading to tell us to go upstairs. We then had the waitress come over to our table and "dump" the menus and cutlery on top of the our things on the table and walk... More
