Station 21 - Massachusetts

My friend and I showed up on the first night of their new menu, so they had difficulty finding them (to swallow them on the menus themselves) they probably found them 10 minutes after our arrival, but the staff was so friendly and funny that we were nothing at all. We had the shoulder talloin that was delicious and we liked the place so much we came next night! I had the bay scallops specifics that bleed my mind so much so that we stopped *fast* in a third night in a row to order the scallop special as we drove to our ferry. This is hands down my favorite restaurant on the island (as far as what was opened for us to try in mid-November at all).

I arrived after the restaurant had closed to at least have a glass of wine. As a charter pilot I don't control my schedule and quite often go to bed with out dinner. The chef prepared me a fantastic clam harissa. It was wonderful. When you come to Nantucket you must stop here for the ambiance and a very friendly professional staff.

Sometimes you forget what good customer service is until you actually get it. I mean it's Nantucket there aren't really too many bad restaurants but it was a refreshing change just for the little gestures like a cold glass of water without having to ask for it. The wine was great, and the dessert to die for.

I really enjoyed the cozy, rustic-chic decor! I ordered a margarita, and both it and the burger station were great. There were so many tempting options on the menu, and everything looked and smelled amazing, making it hard to choose. The roasted chicken steam appetizer was also delicious. My only suggestion is that the lighting on the second floor was a bit dim, which made it difficult to see the other women at my table, as there were 11 of us.

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. The food and service are absolutely fantastic. The chef truly has a remarkable palate; it's a delight to experience such culinary artistry. The server is knowledgeable about both the wines and the menu. This place is on its way to becoming a Michelin 5-star restaurant. Be sure to visit before it gains widespread popularity. P.S. The gluten-free options are delicious!
