    I would have given it a five-star for service because Luke was amazing but the poor guy was covering a huge area of tables. Other than that everything was perfect.

    The noise level was high, but mostly because the people seated at the table next to us were very loud (actually the two men were inconsiderate of the people sitting around them, which was no fault of Nantucket’s—-snd which otherwise has a delightful ambience).

    We dine here often and we are never disappointed. Service, food and ambiance are outstanding. The wine list is more than ample. This is one of the great ones in the Ocean City- Bethany area.

FAQs

Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays are a popular pick, guests praise the $29 dinner specials served on those days.

Yes, Nantuckets is a lovely choice for a special evening, with many guests celebrating anniversaries and praising the cozy rooms, attentive service, and outstanding food.

Guests often describe portions as generous, reviewers call mains like lamb chops, cast-iron cod, and the lobster shepherds pie 'plentiful' or 'nice sized.'

For a quieter, great-value visit choose the off‑season, reviewers say the dining room is noticeably calmer then and many off‑season $29 specials run on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday; reviewers also praise the 4–6pm happy hour and note Nantuckets is excellent for late dining.

Yes, when booking you can request a high‑top in the bar area by selecting "High Top, " and guests have contacted the restaurant in advance about mobility needs and been told a portable ramp is available.

Nantuckets feels like a cozy, coastal fine‑dining spot, quaint, beachy decor with distinct spaces: two white‑tablecloth dining rooms, a cozy front‑porch room, and a lively bar/happy‑hour area.

Casual dress is the guide, comfortable, neat attire is appropriate; nothing formal is required.
