We had a beautiful September evening at Chanticleer: a memorable dinner in the garden. The food and service were excellent, and Chanticleer's simple elegance made the experience even richer.

Thoroughly Enjoy this restaurant every year when we go to NANTUCKET. It's a must when you visit Nantucket.

The courtyard is beautiful, so eating outside was nice. The food was 5 star. The service was perfect.

Make reservations ahead of time. I'm told that it is hard to get into this restaurant. The garden is beautiful when you walk in. You have the option of dining in the garden area. It is a U shape and is undercover. We weren't sure if it would be covered so we chose the formal dining area that over looks the backyard/ garden. We had Paula as our waitress and her assistant Darwin. They both were efficient and nice. Everything was fresh. Everyone liked the most the bluefish pâté with their homemade chips. The tuna tartar was delicious as well. The halibut was great with zucchini. The oysters were good as well. No one was dissatisfied. The wine list is quite pricey. Locals had suggestions for other places to eat because they said it is to expensive. However, really the food is not to expensive. It's the beverages at $19 a glass and the wine that is $200 and up. If you keep that in mind, anyone can go there and enjoy the experience. The table ordered various desatara and those too were delicious. I think next time we will go for lunch and eat in the garden for the experience and beauty. Enjoy! PS. You will need a car or Uber. This is on the coast and not close to the Main Street area of downtown.

Good was disappointing, if I didn't know better, the hash browns on the omelette dish were frozen ore ida-went there for their food. The smoked salmon in the dish was old. Portions small. Seems like it is resting on it's laurels. Very nice wine

Celebrating our birthdays and what a beautiful location to enjoy the evening. The gardens were in full bloom. The service was friendly & timely. Our highlight of our meals were our appetizers. Not to be take away from our entrees but the appetizers shined! Ceviche & the amazing lobster cocktail! Such a refined setting…not all flash like newer “hot” spots.

Food was delicious but the service for the price was as if we were eating at a McDonalds. If you want good food and the worst service go to Le chantilclair in nantucktect we had to pour our wine iouselvez. No one ever asked if things were ok. They were so below a fine dining experience but the price you paid was so outrageous for the experience
Great atmosphere and terrific food. Waiter was outstanding. Look forward to going back. Burger was excellent. Must say the item description on the menu was the most interesting description of a cheeseburger I have ever seen.

Amazing food from top to bottom. Great service. Delicious wine. Great martini. Best oysters to start all the way through best dessert (we got the coconut cheesecake pie) ! Definitely a splurge but the entire meal was worth ever penny !!

The food, the service and the atmosphere are all unbeatable. This is my favorite summer restaurant - its quintessential sconset with the amazing gardens, the food is excellent (my favorites are the tuna tartare, halibut, Bolognese and burger) and the service is so perfect. We had Carlos and he is a gem.

I had a rough couple of days and needed some alone time to gather my wits. I had been traveling 3 days with my 3 yo grandson trying to get to Nantucket. It was nerve wracking. I thought a lovely lunch was in order. The Chanticleer graciously welcomed me. The restaurant's setting is gorgeous and serene. My entree and wine was perfect. I can't wait to return and I won't wait for an emotional emergency to visit again.

Have you ever seen the movie "Somewhere In Time" with Christopher Reeve? It's about time travel in a elegant resort. Even if you don't know the movie you will be transported to another place and time when you dine at The Chanticleer. Elegant gardens, a traditional me me menu welcome you in. Prompt and prompt service. The smoked salmon omelette was very good. My husband said he had never had a burger that was as fresh and hot. I'd recommend lunch so you have plenty of daylight to enjoy the gardens.
