Outstanding! Incredible food and beautiful atmosphere. Menu is impressive, great appetizers and entrées. Food presentation is... beautiful. Very professionally run, great staff and service. Indoor and outdoor patio dining. This is a busy, well knownrestaurant, so reservations are highly recommended. Chanticleer must be on your Nantucket bucket list!!! Enjoy. Read more

Lovely evening. Sommelier was good and had some nice options (like the Foley chardonnay) -- unlike some other ACK restaurants. ... Nice mix of ethnic accents on traditional French food. The service was outstanding. Read more

Beautiful venue and exceptional service. This is not a french restaurant. We had 4 at our table an 3 ordered the same fish dish.... They all said it was very good but it did have a spicy flavor to the dish. The 4th person ordered a scallop dish and wassurprised how spicy it was. The menu should state if a meal is spicy. Lesson for the day: Ask if it is spicy. All in all itwas very good but the total price was exorbitant. Read more

The garden is beautiful, the duck was tasty. Not cheap - you're in Nantucket after all.

Unfortunately not what i remembering... First time back at this restaurant since 2020 and i was disappointed. Garden is still... amazing. Drinks was ok ... just ok. Food except the appetizer who was special for the night wasn't as good as i remember it.Flavor wasn't there at all. The bread that they start you with was overall my favorite. They have a great dessert menu withoptions, but i wasn't satisfied of what i tried. Staff was friendly and you get enough attention during the dinner. Should i goback there i will and if the food hit the spot i will change my review. Read more

There seems to be a tremendous Identity Crisis at the Chanticleer. We were excited for our long awaited reservation for this... well known, French Gem, but we?re perplexed, and greatly disappointed, on multiple levels. First of all, we were seated insidewhere it was absolutely sweltering. No air conditioning, fans- the air was heavy & stagnant. The servers, who took orders anddelivered bread were sweating. The menu is supposed to be Modern French, but there was a heavy Asian influence, includingTandori Salmon. There was almost zero trace of French cuisine to be found. It was so hot, that other diners were requesting toget the menus back, in order to fan themselves. Our selection of Lamb Bolognese and Salmon (tandoori) were poor choices and bestsaved for environments where the temperature is conducive to enjoying a heavy, hot meal. Service staff were fine and polite,but clearly miserably hot. Huge horse flies circled us and our food and the extra glass of ice that I requested, arrived quicklybut melted within minutes. It was like trying to eat in a sauna. Our bottle of champagne was kept in ice, so it was the onlyenjoyable part of the meal. I don?t know if my salmon was any good. It was so uncomfortably hot that I ate 1/4 of it and placedmy silverware down. No one ever came by to ask if everything was okay. It wasn?t. We simply couldn?t enjoy our meals in thisenvironment. My husband literally dipped his napkin in his water, and blotted his perspiring forehead. I finished 1/4 of mymeal, my husband finished his entire appetizer and 1/4 of his Bolognese a before we just gave up. No one ever asked how it was,or if everything was OK. The server eventually came around and simply asked ?would you like me to box these??. The menu isinappropriate for a French restaurant. It?s also wildly inappropriate for a summer menu. It is not French modern. It?s heavilyAsian/Indian influenced. So much so that the doggy bag containers are Chinese takeout boxes. Overall a huge Read more

Best meal on the island. Actually on the far side from where we were but worth the drive. I had the filet and it was to die for!... Oysters were prepared beautifully, rolls were fresh. Lobster compote was tasty. Everyone enjoyed their meal. You are going toneed a reservation and you may be surprised by who you see here. Classy! Read more

The best dining experience I?ve had in a long time and absolutely the most beautiful spot I?ve ever dined in. We had dinner in... the Rose Garden. The service was just right, food was perfect. Our waiter, Michael, was a delight. Thank you for a wonderfuldining experience. We look forward to returning! Read more
