Description

This restaurant offers creatively prepared food with a focus on local ingredients. The menu features 5 courses with small, protein-centric portions that can be hit or miss. While the food is expertly prepared and flavorful, the prices can be high for the portions received. The ambiance is described as a former basement with low ceilings and high noise levels. However, the service is attentive and accommodating, making it an overall pleasant dining experience. The menu is unique, featuring dishes like sea bass tacos, roasted carrots, and sorbet. Despite some issues with pricing, portion sizes, and noise levels, the restaurant comes highly recommended for those looking for a culinary adventure on the Vineyard.

The food was fantastic and the service was very attentive. However, the restaurant's setting is reminiscent of a cellar with concrete floors. Despite the delicious menu and skilled preparation, it may be difficult to revisit due to the unappealing atmosphere.

Very impressed with the complexity and subtle tastes in each dish. I also thought the chef's substitutions for my gluten and soy allergies were excellent. Thanks to him I discovered how great a cheese plate can be instead of dessert.

Bright, cozy room in the heart of Oak Bluffs. Friendly and helpful waiting staff to die creative dishes and scallops! The portion sizes are large and you will certainly get your money worth.
