The Summer House Beachside Bistro

“A very nice place with a great vibe. We went to celebrate my grandfather’s birthday, and everything was perfect. The service was extremely attentive, and the staff was very friendly! They truly made it the best birthday ever!”

“I live in NYC, so this was our weekend escape. Nantucket is absolutely beautiful. We spent the day biking around the island and eventually found ourselves in this charming spot. Luckily, we arrived just before the lunch rush and were seated right away, no wait at all. I don’t usually explore much when it comes to seafood, but something nudged me to try the poached seafood salad. It was the perfect choice for a hot day: refreshing, chilled, and bursting with flavor. It paired wonderfully with a crisp glass of prosecco. My friends had the lobster roll, huge compliments, it was delicious!”

“Gorgeous spot for lunch close to the beach. Quite private and I was surprised at how good it was given the 3.5 star rating. This is not a bar on the beach and footwear is required so maybe other reviewers, like me, were expecting something a bit more basic and not so pricey. $28 for the humus plate, which I enjoyed but is probably the most I’ve paid anywhere for a humus appetiser.”

“You're paying for the location which is beautiful if the weather is nice. We got the wings, the tuna tartar, and the Tiramisu. The food was fine. The menu is large and varied, with a great selection but the prices are on the higher end even for Nantucket. They were out of the main ingredient for the house cocktail which was disappointing. I paid $17 for a basic Tito's and cran in a disposable plastic cup but there was very good live music and a relaxed atmosphere. We will visit again.”

“Food is expensive but you're paying for the view and convenience of being very close to the beach. The staff was super friendly and thoughtfully brought out our kids meal with the appetizers without us having to ask. Relaxed environment for families. There seemed to be a pretty fun happy hour happening even though when didn't partake. I think the overall quality of the food and service was pretty good.”
