Chilmark Tavern

I like the concept of this place, relaxed, easy, airy, yet with a bent towards sophistication, but there were several misses. First the hits... The mussels were very well done. The sauce was deep, rich and well executed. The big boxy bread was a treat - and the butter a perfect herb infused compliment. The fish and chips, a staple, had an excellent batter, but for nearly $50, was a bit of a eye watering price for two pieces of fried fish on a bed of fries. The fish that night, in an iridescent green broth, looked divine, but it was thin and rather bland. I heard the duck was well done, but didn't taste it. In general, if you come here, the service will be great, the prices astronomical, and the food overall solid to very good, the prices knock this down to a B overall.

A fancy, expensive restaurant with genuinely good food. I had the pasta with cream sauce, and the portion was much more generous than I expected. A couple people with me raved about the fish. Dessert was a shared creme brulee, which was a little toasty in flavor. Overall, a good meal. Reservations are a must in the summer. Be warned: it's BYOB, with a corking fee for wine bottles.

Came on a Monday night for a 5:30pm reservation with 3 girlfriends. We came on the early side because we wanted to watch the sunset on the beach after dinner. The dining room was pretty sparsely populated when we arrived but both the main dining room and the outdoor patio had filled up by the time we left at 6:45. Since it’s BYOB, we brought a bottle of wine and a bottle of batched Negronis which our waitress quickly brought out glasses for and served. For dinner we started with the bread, special cheese starter and summer squash. I thought that the squash was really exceptional. For my main course I ordered the half chicken. It came with a side salad and was crispy, juicy and delicious. Two of my girlfriends got the chicken pot pie and said it was one of the best they ever had. The Buffa

Had a great experience here. The atmosphere was really casual, but nice; the service was 5 stars; the menu was really inventive. Four stars overall because, even though the food was very unique, it didn’t deliver as much flavor as I would have liked. The pasta dish pictured here was good, but not great; the scallops were good, but again, not a great overall dish (although they were cooked nicely). The place is BYOB—$14 corking fee for a bottle of wine—which I think is very reasonable. Overall, prices are fair. I’d go back to try some other things, but for now, I’m fairly impressed!

Our family had an absolutely amazing experience and a wonderful first meal out on Island last week. We were eager to goto some new restauraunts and we will most definetly be back! They are BYOB and do a fantastic job at it!!! We brought bourbon and wine to drink while dining. We tried the following: Apps: - Calamari App - Onion rings - Sourdough w/ scape butter (to die for) Entrees: - Vegetarian curry * 3 people - Fish and Chips - Tuna entree over green beans (SO FRESH) - Wagyu steak and lobster Mac n cheesy All were cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was on point and we had no complaints at all. Will be back again. 10/10 would reccomend to a friend!
