Super adorable little spot in Port Jeff. The food is great, pricing isn't bad and you get plenty of food. The service is slow but I think they want you to slow down and enjoy life. The drinks are also very yummy. We tried the French toast bites which I highly recommend and the eggs any style plate with parm truffle fries instead of home fries. I will say they do not skimp on the ingredients the parm truffle fries were delicious even for brunch. For drinks we tried bellini's, espresso martini and mango jalapeño margaritas all were made amazingly. Would definitely go here and again and we did recommend it to anyone we knew. We even ran into a friend dining here with family. We were all from out of town visiting for a wedding.
Charming restaurant with naval decor right by the Port Jeff harbor. Has a patio and big bay windows in one dining area, bar in another. We went on a rainy Saturday with modest traffic. Floor was a little slippery coming in. Clean butcher paper on tablecloths. Attentive service. Started with lobster bisque, grilled oysters, and french onion soup. Oysters and the french onion were a bit salty - too much Worcestershire on that soup. Lobster bisque tasted better with a healthy hand of pepper, had one big chunk of claw meat and little other lobster. Oysters came with a fun grilled lemon as well, were ok. Our party had a hot lobster roll, mahi mahi tacos, and duck for mains. The hot lobster roll had excellent fries - easily the best piece of any dish. Roll itself was a tad salty, just OK. The poor duck was tremendously overcooked but came on good mashed potatoes; cranberry tasted excessive; carrots were very tender but also too salty. Beans were ok. Bathrooms were interesting - 1 person but they have a door between the toilet/sink and a mirror with very bright unflattering lights.
We went for Sunday brunch, and I have to say the food was pretty good. We got the steak and eggs, and the shrimp and lobster hash and eggs. They also have a lot of options for cocktails and wine. Overall everything didn’t look terrible and it was up-to-date. The reason I gave this place a three star rating is because the room was so loud we could not even have a conversation with each other.
The food is ok but pricy. We ordered salmon, duck, mussel and salad. In general good quality is good and better than regular restaurants. However when we come it is a bit busy and service is a bit chaotic. Our orders are mistaken but clarified afterwards. The price is on the high end though. They have a deck so may be a good choice for summer happy hours.
Wait staff not very attentive. Way too long in between sitting and getting a glass of water even. They were more interested in getting an alcohol drink order going then making sure that we have some water coming in from the crazy heat of that particular day having been walking around town for over an hour. Even had a baby with us and they didn't seem to try to cater to us very well.
The staff at this restaurant understand what outstanding customer service means. They are very accommodating; our server, Sierra, is an asset for Nantuckets and she is absolutely great at her job. This restaurant has quickly become one of our favorite places to dine in our neighborhood, and we have dozens of options. The chef always has something perfectly prepared no matter what we order from the menu. We loved the delicious, fresh halibut as well as the blackened swordfish. Everything about or dining experience always seems to be perfect at Nantuckets thanks to their hard-working staff. Worth the visit to Port Jefferson NY.
Ate here for lunch two days on the trot as it was that good! Staff were very friendly and helpful - the crab burger, chicken sandwich, grilled peach and shrimp salad and shrimp and lobster hash were all tasty. Lovely rose too and cocktails were excellent. Would recommend and return.
First time at this establishment. Food was very good; nice presentation and good quality. However, service was wanting. Polite, but inattentive waiter. Had to wait too long for his very occasional check-ins. Had to go find someone myself to ask for sweetener. Never offered to refresh drinks. No bread served to fill the wait time. Took almost 30 minutes for the appetizer to be served and it was almost immediately followed by the main dish. Considering the time of day we were there (3pm-ish) and the fact that there were only three more tables active at the time, we didn't feel we were attended to as good as we should have been for the "upscale" restaurant it was aiming to be.
